This is where im at too. Option 1 should be bring Brown in, pay Deuce enough to keep him happy and let him play in some mop up duty and be the guy in the event of an injury.
Option 2 is have a legit competetion between Deuce and Daniels and coach them hard. I think DK9 can thrive in this offense just for the fact that im not sure Daniels' accuracy, especially on deep balls, is what is gonna make this offense go.
To the OP, no more portal announcements since Lane-Ganus several days ago?

You OK doing the Russian roulette at QB again for the next 3 years? Deuce seems solid. Why risk that future for a one year solution that probably only gets us 6-7 wins anyway?

I'd be fine if that would work.

Yes. Right now our options are starting a more-or-less unproven guy with a few years of eligibility left vs. proven starter with one year left.
NIL has opened the door to players AND coaches leaving at the drop of a hat anyways so I try not to get too tied up with it.

Brown is better than 6 or 7 wins. And your other take makes sense ig if Duece was gonna be our qb for 5 years. So what if he transfers and we have to go to the portal for a qb for a couple more years? Idc if Golesh goes to the portal for a qb every year if we're winning. Deuce has started 1 game, idk why yall are so attached to him.

Yes, what happens if Duece doesn't turn it up? He looked very shaky early in the year. His only good game was against Mercer.
Also, what if he does ball out? Theres no guarantee he would come back to Auburn for his next season.
Every year is a 1 year deal as far as I'm concerned at QB>

Deuce showed out against Mercer, but it was Mercer who got their arse handed to them to the tune of 47-0 in their playoff game so was it really that impressive? With NIL, you can find a good QB in the portal.

QB will probably always need portal options.
Player movement at the position is basically expected.
What’s our QB room for spring practice?
Daniels
McKnight
Portal?
Am I missing somebody?

Have you looked at our schedule next year? Maybe he is. But I've thought we were better than 6-7 wins for the past 5 years.

Because we saw his accuracy, decision making, pocket awareness,and running ability. And it's been about 6 years since we've seen anything close to that in an Auburn uniform.

Right. And I think these guys need to say some preemptive goodbyes to Deuce. It just makes too much sense for all parties involved for Brown to be our qb next year. Unless Golesh can get his hands on a better qb but how many are realistically gonna be better than a guy that's already performed at a high level in your system and has been doing it for 3 years now?

Against Mercer. Why are you doing this.

Its the usual shite you see from fans: overrate the unknown that you can dream on (Deuce), while simultaneously underrating the guy with the actual track record (Byrum Brown).
We really don't know anything about Deuce Knight yet. The kid was super raw in HS, and he has no actual NCAA resume to suggest anything meaningful yet. Anyone who tries to tell you that he is guaranteed to become something has almost certainly said the same exact thing about every other hyped HS QB that has walked through the door at Auburn. Deuce was able to run all over FCS Mercer, but that performance loses its luster once you realize that Mercer gave up over 300 yards rushing to another FCS school just ~two weeks later in a blowout loss where they conceded over 40 points. If you look at Deuce's limited display of passing this season, it is clear that he is still very raw. Even against Mercer there were underthrown and misplaced balls.

Yep a whole lot of first year head coaches and first year qbs. Yall just see the names and curl up in the fetal position lol.

This all has to be taken with a grain of salt dude. Accuracy, decision making, and pocket awareness all take a dive when you go from playing Mercer to playing SEC defenses. If youre a big enough fanatic to be on a message board you should know that. I still think Deuce can be good but when you have an opportunity to go get a guy who's already an nfl prospect, has 3 years in your system, and dropped over 300 yards of total offense (262 of it passing) against a good SEC defense while you have an opportunity to show proof of concept year one and build some recruiting momentum, you take it and honestly you're stupid if you think rolling with the FCS phenom is better. I really cant believe im having to explain this to same of yall.

Mhmm. My last post to BigBlue will probably be my last lesson on the subject. Everybody else can stay ignorant or you can try to talk some sense into them

The Mercer thing is even funnier once you realize that Jackson Arnold also burned them for a 50+ yard touchdown run AND would have been 5 for 5 passing if not for two absurdly clear drops (one by Coleman). So then why go ga-ga over Deuce's performance when the guy who everyone is convinced is terrible also had zero issue against that defense?
It really is next-level ridiculous to use an FCS opponent as PROOF that any player is a known product, let alone a QB.

Our problem has been QB for the past 5 years(not counting Bo). Brown isn't some random transfer..... he's OUR coaches QB. He know every call, check, and intricate detail of what the other QBs would have to learn. I'm no professional talent evaluator but that Dude looks like a Dude. I can't blame ANY Auburn fan for being a pessimist at this point though

metafour, SwAU,
Now add to your comments he might have a receiver or two coming with him.
Its a negotiation where one plus one equals three.
Brown gets to come into an SEC program, with a coach he trusts, and receivers he knows. He would flourish and make his NFL stock soar. Far better than taking a chance on another team, of which Im certain he will get many offers.
As has been mentioned, Deuce will be offered by others, but he is in the perfect environment to learn and excel a year later. He will be compensated, for a second year, to sit and learn. Or go get his arse eaten up trying to "be the man" with little experience.
Deuce aint goin nowhere, and if he does......well that says volumes about his decision making.

Is it too much to ask that we get a proven Qb after 5 years of Jeremy Johnson’s.
Posted on 12/11/25 at 4:03 pm to trinidadtiger
I would love Brown, but I am not counting on him until he takes his first snap. A lot of teams will be looking for portal qb. I would think we have an edge, but I also thought if a guy got AU tattooed on his body we would have an edge as well.

Are yall really going to go all revisionist history on the Mercer game just to make a bad point? Didn't Arnold get sacked on the first drive of the game? Didnt the coaches put Deuce back in for a while because Arnold was messing up so bad? Were we watching the same game?
This game is just one data point for Deuce. But we've seen Auburn QBs look less than average against teams like this. Arnold did so dont try to make him a star now.
