The only argument I see is that he's better than Finley and about as good as Nix. He isn't better than 10-15 other QBs in the portal already this year. Are our standards just that low as a program now? He's probably a Boise 10 but he's an Auburn 4.

I think Harsin and Davis are evaluating what they have and what they need. Harsin - and I'm assuming Davis - put alot on a QB to read defenses and run an offense. Look at Harsin's QB's at every stop. Jimbo might put more on his QB's than Harsin, IDK, but I'd guess its similar. As long as Harsin is here we're likely to get a guy who understands vectors in physics than a guy that can run around and ad lib off the cuff. Both approaches work if they are executed.

Yes. Our legacy 5 star QB left the program because of how awful the talent was around him.

Did y’all really expect a good QB to come here?

No, we got a great young QB named Holden Geriner coming in.

Poker why would we add another QB?

You have 2 experienced QBs with SEC starts. 2 young guys. How many fricking QBs do we need?

Better quit worrying about QBs until you fix the OL and WRs rooms.

I like him. He can handle big game pressure and has a lot of potential. Let's be honest. We weren't going to get much better with the state of our O line and receiver corps and he is an improvement over Finley.

Because A: Caleb Williams.

And B: Another dude is leaving that QB room. Just a matter of time.


Wait, why am I engaging with my alter?

1 is useless. I’d much rather start an inexperienced guy over him. The other is mediocre at best. Then one of your young guys, the coaches don’t even like apparently.

I'm going to trust Harsin on the portal. Everyone else crying last year with what he brought in but they worked out pretty good for us.

At this point he appears to be the best option currently available to Auburn. He is a better quarterback than Finley.
