Come back his Senior year? Do we want him to come back next year? I ask due to next year being the easiest schedule we have had in years. Minus the @ Georgia and Alabama aspect. What’s the thoughts on this?

Will he come back? Probably.
Do I want him back? No.

This year is what it is and he is most likely our best option right now. But, we need to move forward next year. We have to have progress at that position. It is the most important position on the field. Bo is no better than he was first game against Oregon. No progress at all. I hoped this year he would progress without Gus, but he has not.

Where's he gonna go, the NFL?

I can't see him wanting to transfer anywhere else either.

He'll be back and he'll be starter again, but I'm sure Harsin will want to get Geriner every possible opportunity

If he does come back, I hope he has a senior year like Jason Campbell.

If we don’t have anyone better, sure he can come back.

Stan White was average to slightly above average until his Senior year. Then he just seemed to slow down and figure things out. Hell yes I want bo Nix back. Much of the mediocrity this year is not of his doing.

Due to Covid Nix actually has 2 years left, I could see him using both and being a super senior.

So Bo could be our starting QB for almost as long as Gus was our coach? just kidding...

I hope so. There's not much behind him.

Bo Nix's fate will depend entirely on how he plays on the field, period.

What needs to be understood is that the two guys that led to Harsin being hired - Gogue and Greene - are both probably gone in 2022. This means that Harsin needs to win, and he doesn't have two more years to dick around with Bo Nix at QB if he doesn't start showing serious strides this season.

Year one is "play with what you have and evaluate". If by the end of this season Nix is still this type of QB, then just LOL if you think his position is secured in any way. Bryan Harsin isn't putting his job on the line because this kid's last name is "Nix" and some guys on the internet are convinced that this is the best we can do.

Bo Nix's job isn't even secured for THIS season. The LSU game won it back for him, but he's back in trial mode with the rest of this SEC schedule.

Trial mode my arse. The whole 2 deep would be on trial mode before Bo if the roster wasn’t already a shite sandwich.

Bo is the only reason why we have an extra win.

The gamer would seem to be our third stringer. A freshman, but had the moxy and stats in scrimmages and absurd HS stats to back it up. Brings many of the same intangables as far as athleticism as Nix does, but mayber better in-game speed. Who knows.

Yes, absolutely back to trial mode. Literally the entire offense is back to trial mode.

He got benched the game prior to LSU and then secured his job by pulling miracles against LSU. You saw him try the exact same shite against Georgia and the result was entirely different. Do you seriously think that a few miracle plays against LSU gives him an infinite leash now? Even painting that win as "all Bo" is a joke: we don't win without the defense completely stopping LSU cold in the 2nd half.

Regardless of whether or not Georgia was his fault (I'm not even saying that it was), he showed that "Backyard Bo" isn't a dependable product, and Harsin hates unscripted/"fly by the seat of you pants" football. That means that he's now back to operating under a microscope. If he looks bad against Arkansas and/or we lose, expect to see more TJ Finley - period.

This is a very dangerous time for Bo because that LSU game brought back a lot of old bad habits through affirmation. Against Georgia he showed clear impatience and went back to "I'll just start running backwards and sideways for 15-20 yards". That type of play is grounds for disaster, hence why it was clearly coached out of him in the earlier games this season through the offseason.

Just my guess

Will he come back (no)
do I want him back (He11 yes)
With an even worse line next year, Bo should go where receivers know how to catch the dang ball

He got benched because his coach was a former QB that knew a things or two about playing frustrated. If he was benched because Harsin didn’t know who to start he would’ve started Finley after Finley had the heroics..

Bo literally had the highest PFF grade on offense at 80 against Georgia. He can’t catch for the receivers or tell the OL to take a lap. That does not go against Bo.

Or they decided our line is shite, just go make a play.

Bo will be back next year. If he did opt out now he would probably be a mid 3rd round pick. He would get drafted based purely on athletic abilities and his arm strength. Same reason you see ultra fast wide receivers go high in the draft even tho they haven’t really put up any big numbers because you can’t coach speed.

He’ll be back and I want him back. He gives us the best chance to win of the QB’s we currently have on the roster
