I find it hard to believe that anyone would not want to improve over what we saw this year.

It is hard to fathom.

thats a separate discussion. Thorne isnt some world beater and I doubt you will find anyone who thinks he is

Only reason I can see is it looks like we aren’t getting a transfer so everyone is talking themselves into positivity.
we missed on a few guys we were after. Thorne is average

I’m incredibly smart but that has nothing to do with downvotes I don’t get downvoted for bad takes I get downvoted because who I am. I’m not for everyone especially softies.

So let’s put it to rest… you black or white?

I’m white. See it’s easy. And I can say there is a soft spot in my heart for Christian Mccaffrey. I was a running back until high school. Was huge Marjor Olgilvie fan when my brother played with him and I was just a little kid.

After the Iron Bowl, I didnt think, Damn thorne, cost us the game! Did you?

No one did. I can tell you during the game, everyone thought that a pass was a waste play though. And after uat took the lead, did you have any confidence at all that PT was going to be able to get the offense in field goal range? That’s the point. For a lot of QBs, you’d have some hope that they would. With PT, we knew it 100% wasn’t happening.

33 second from the 5 yard line with zero timeouts. I don’t anyone would
Have thought that we were coming back if we had Patrick Mahommes because of lack of explosive WRs and just a shitty situation

It’s not a separate discussion. He’s a below average SEC QB.

If you have to say it, youre not.

You absolutely get dv for bad takes.

Its more the i told you so and the know it all attitude that turns people off. Escpecially when you have bad takes and write players off or say they wont do anything for several years or whatever scenario you make up in your head and accept as fact.

Just drop the race angle. Thats not the path

Self promotion is another dv worthy part of you persona online. No one cares how fast you were or family backstories or how good an athlete you were. Its eye roll worthy man.

absolutely not. Thorne isnt going to put the team on his shoulders. We all know it. I want a better option in the portal, but we missed our guys.

Because it didn't matter who the quarterback was. Think Bo Nix and how dismal he looked while here. Not saying we need to rely on any one QB for next year, because at the level we're trying to achieve, our comp has three like our best stocked up like cord wood.

Nah I’m pretty damn smart with pretty good takes but it’s definitely my personality not my football knowledge.

You even said it was how I come off to people. And I’ve said it a million times on here. I’m not for everyone and ain’t trying to make buddies just bring what I know and don’t know to the board and try to keep the board active with decent commentary

I’m also white with some Native American. So you can stop with the race stuff. I have my opinion on who gives Auburn the best chance to win games. You have yours. I don’t care if they’re middle eastern or Asian either. I wasn’t calling for Frazier to start over Trotter in 2011, or Willis to start over Stidham either. PT was below average most of the season. It has nothing to do with race.

How about no. Why can he not answer the question it’s a simple question and would answer why everyone thinks he’s a complete dumbass for his QB takes.

It’s not him being racist it’s him being biased. I provided an example of my bias in McCaffrey. Nothing wrong with that. I just don’t go around trashing others to make him look better. There is the difference

Thorne wasn't good this year but Ashford straight sucks balls. He was better last year. Dude has a cannon arm but can hit the broad side of a barn. Some of his decisions while running were pretty dumb too. Hard to run sideline to sideline in the sec.

Ok fair take glad you answered because I and most don’t see QB play the same as you so was just trying to get to the root of it. It’s been displayed plenty by TWR and I see your comments in their comment section so was just making sure.

The last few times he appeared I don’t put that on him I put that on play design. If you are gonna run him 2-4 times a game to keep from Thorne getting hit more at least put a read on it not just a lead block sweep play.

I’m literally calling for Grayson McCall. Last I checked, he’s white af. But would I also like to sign some of the black QBs in the portal? Heck yes I would. PT was a last resort add when Freeze struck out on others last offseason. This offseason, there’s a lot more to choose from. And I guarantee Freeze is working on getting someone. Holden is a pocket passer, so I don’t see Freeze giving him serious consideration.

because its irrelevant meat head. jville isnt some, oh he's black, he has to start kind of poster. He just wants the best Qb to play. Sadly he is a poor judge of which Qb that should be, but racial make up is not a deciding factor for him. Or at least that is my opinion on the matter.

I 100% put one of those runs in the IB on Ashford. He had a nice kick out block, and he chose not to cut it up. He might’ve scored on that play. At the very least, it was going to be an 8-9 yard pick up. He was pressing to make a big play and lost yardage.
