Auburn developing a perception of not preparing players for the NFL

4* - 6'5, 220lb QB Jawon Pass - 4th ranked Dual Threat QB in the country - committed to Louisville over Alabama and Auburn. Most people felt that would be the case, as his brother also plays for Louisville.
When asked about his options, here's what he had to say...

It's cute to sit back and say "It's not our job to prepare you for the NFL, it's our job to win games" blah blah blah... but what happens when the inability to prepare players to be successful in the NFL starts hurting recruiting? How do you combat that, when every major D1 college recruit has a goal of eventually making it to the NFL?

The opinion of a 17 year old kid = developing a perception! I knew you weren't an Auburn homer!

That's ok, if he doesn't make it a Louisville he could always become a walmart greeter. It's not like they are going to force him to get an education.

That's a lot of effort to subtly tell us that Alabama got shafted for Louisville

When was the last time an Alabama QB was prepared enough to win an NFL game as a starter?

Jawon Pass will not be an NFL QB. I don't care if he had Aaron Rodgers and Peyton Manning working with him.
He is a less athletic Blake Sims.

And if Petrino can convince a true dual- threat that he's got a sure path to the NFL, then kudos to him.
Also, doesn't he typically use pro-style guys anyway?

Why is everyone obsessed with the NFL? There are other careers available. Auburn players are perfect for a future in high school coaching.

Auburn must of said thanks but no thanks to Jawon Pass. Plus we already have a QB commit

Maybe Gus will have a Heisman winning QB drafted #1 overall one of these days. We can only hope.

I think he's a dumbass. Cam Newton, #1 overall pick. Nobody in the country was going to develop Barrett Trotter, Clint Moseley, or Khiel Frazier into anything. Same with Nick Marshall but look how much production Gus got out of him.
I wonder what his opinion will be in a few years after Jeremy Johnson is a 1st rounder and Sean White is on the path to the NFL, and the last two QBs Bama has put out good enough to even be backups are still AJ and Brodie.

He was denied by Auburn when he tried to commit because we already have our class of 2016 QB

Has anyone mentioned Cam yet?
Posted on 7/16/15 at 7:22 pm to Tuscaloosa
Auburn fans will never admit it but playing for Gus hurts your chances of going to the league. Gus is lucky Urban developed Cam for him.

I usually don't agree with much you post but you hit the nail on the head here. The HUNH offense run by Auburn and many others is a glorified HS offense and is not a NFL prepatory plan for a recruit. It will win a lot of games for the team but the player will be ill prepared for anything further. Cam Newton is an exception just because he is a freak of an athlete.
Saban put some of that in last year because he had to plug a QB gap - he wont stay with it. Miles uses a small amount of it but stays with traditional offensive tempo mostly.

Probably regurgitating what a coach told him because Nick Marshall isn't playing QB in the NFL.

Yup. Auburn remains bamas Daddy.
