re: IMO, Nick Marshall will be harder to replace than us Auburn fans think...

If JJ leads AU to a lot of wins and never had to make a big play under extreme conditions or pressure, I would say he replaced Marshall just fine.

If he doesn't have to make a play under extreme pressure then either A) the rest of your team is playing incredible and JJ isn't being asked to do "too much", or B) the rest of the team is playing poorly and JJ isn't in a position to make a play under extreme pressure.

I think AU will be a much improved team on D this year and, personally, feel like JJ is a vastly better QB than Marshall in terms of his ceiling. Marshall concerned me with his legs and his deep ball. JJ concerns me on every snap b/c if he develops into what he CAN be, then he's going to be scary good.
