Is a tough player... he may not be the highest rated but he does have lots of potential ...

All I know is his high school has a history of championships and many good players go through there.

I trust Harsin.

I’m far from making a judgment on Harsin but it’s very weird to me how so many have decided blindly to trust in Harsin. He hasn’t earned it

I think it was a good move bringing him in. He’s far from a sure thing but he’s another QB with SEC experience

Lol… none of us have choice. Either put the orange and blue glasses on or don’t.

Either way, it doesn’t matter lol.

Don’t even care. Get as many qbs and OL as you can. Let them battle it out and the rest can transfer at this point if they want. Tired of not having competition.

Why not just trust in our coach? Not trusting him does absolutely nothing except project apathy toward our program. Get behind him or get off. Same as any coach in any sport imo. If he sucks for 4 years and shows zero improvement let him go. Otherwise what good is it to doubt him?

I think he brings similar intangibles to Bo. As far as play, not as mobile but better passing. I think he's somebody Harsin can mold into a decent starter. I do think our ceiling with him is probably 9-10 wins but I think his floor will be better than Finley's.

He sure as hell couldn’t be any worse than Bo “I’m gonna run around screaming backwards for 30 yards cuz that’s how I’ve been coached by my Dad, Gus, and Bobo” Nix.

We were a decent QB from going 10-3. MSU, USC, Bama, Houston. Don’t give up yet.

This is why most reasonable Auburn fans are content with Calzada. He will 100% produce at a higher level than Finley - which is exactly what we need. Some on here thing we should be pissed because he isn't the highest rated transfer portal QB. Of course we would prefer a better portal QB, but we have what looks to be a very talented freshman coming in that needs to sit for a year or two.

Some people think Harsin should be able to pull in the highest rated portal QB period. He isn't a proven commodity yet, neither is Auburn as a football program. Everything is brand spankin' new and if I was in the portal, I would be cautious walking into a situation with as much uncertainty as Auburn has right now on the line and at the WR position.

Let's ride with Calzone and potentially another portal QB and see what happens. Have some damn patience.

He might be worst in every metric. Even freshman year or sophomore year Bo had better stats than him.

shite fans ran off the better QB. We could’ve at least got a better QB than Calzada. What was the point to running Bo off again? Because we didn’t get “better.”

We didn’t run Bo off, Bo decided to leave because he grew up entitled and prob never has had to deal with adversity. If Gus could evaluate talent in the preseason or Bo’s last name wasn’t Nix, Malik Willis would have been our starter the last 3 years.

Maybe you should call the wambulance about Willis
He was third string behind Gatewood too.
And guess what! Y’all would have ran him off too

Please find one post on this board after mid-way through the season saying they wanted Bo to transfer.

No one intended for Bo to transfer. They criticized his performance, but everyone knew he was the better option vs Finley.

You remain delusional.

Do I really have to?
If anybody here had any integrity here, they’d admit they saw this at least every other day

Geez, who would we not run off then? Uga is playing Monday night with a walk on QB that has heard a lot more criticism than your precious Bo ever did. You are either a fighter or a quitter. I like players that are determined to prove us wrong..
