Whats your take on our Qb position?

So Gatewood is big, Nix throws well, Willis is “just no”, and Sandberg is a clipboard holder. Good stuff here, Chex

You my boy Nobody does it better

I had a huge post on the other thread. Just mentally transfer it here. I do think the top two played well enough in the first half that it would be hard to take them off the field.

Nix is the future for sure. He did throw an ill advised INT in the spring game but I like his aggressiveness. Still I'd prefer to easy him into the job. If Gatewood can command the offense and make the throws then give him the keys. Let Nix play as much as possible in packages or clean up duty.

Jesus. When will y’all ever learn? The A-Day game means nothing. Zip. Nada. There are no takeaways.

That beats the shite out of the alternatives I was worried about.

I think Nix is the future, but hope he gets this year to develop. That being said, he looked really good for a true freshman, so if he was made the starter, I would not be upset.

I’m feeling positive but wait and see approach.

I think Gatewood and Nix showed separation from the others.

I was more impressed with some of the WR’s to be honest.

I feel more positive about the OL then I did last year at this time.

I’m encouraged by what I saw so far and look for more improvements in the fall. I am convinced if we call plays like the bowl game offensively, we are going to put up a lot of points and yards.

I need to rewatch but first impressions

Gatewood: MUCH better this go around than last A-Day. Thought he forced some later to McClain (had Hill wide open for a TD one drive) but overall he looked competent in the pocket. Obviously not being able to show his ability as a power runner handicaps him a bit but overall was happy with what I saw

Nix: Thought he was the best QB on the field Saturday but a lot of that again has to do with Gatewood unable to show off power running. Nix is A LOT quicker than I expected and seems at his best when play breaks down. Did have a really bad decision that was picked off but other than that he was awesome

Willis: LOVED his first drive. Made all the right reads and was accurate with the ball. His work in the pocket on that deep ball TD was beautiful. Still think Gatewood/Nix out performed him but was glad to see him play better

Sandberg: Pretty clear he's not actually an option. But even he looked solid. Was nice to have four competent QBs on the field even in a glorified scrimmage. Last year we had 0....


Offense overall executed at a better level Saturday which was nice to see. I think Dillingham has had a positive impact on the QB room. We won't really know though until see this team in the fall & how the OL holds up. I'm cautiously optimistic but given the schedule & having a freshman starting QB gonna just hope for the best for now

Bo Nix looked very much like a dual threat QB with better touch on his throws and better accuracy down the field.
