Because we didn't add a second QB despite knowing for 10+ months that Tyler Queen had a major shoulder injury.

The guy we tried to rope in was Deondre Francois who just had an average arm

does your whole argument fall on sean white?

2014 we get Sean White
2015 we get clearly injured Tyler Queen
2016 we get Woody

+ weak arm JF3
2017 we target Tray Bishop

So in Gus' first 4 full classes, 4/5 QBs we are looking to bring in don't have big arms or have injured arms

One of the guys that, honestly, I feel kind of threw off our QB situation for a while was losing Tyrik Rollison. Even though the dude never amounted to much, I've always felt that if he'd have made it into Auburn his life would've been a lot different and he could've done well at AU.

elbow injury

again hindsight is nice, but apparently Dr Andrews (not sure if you've ever heard of him) didn't think surgery was necessary when he injured it

weird, 247 gives him an 8 on arm strength

i don't remember reading anything saying he has a weak arm. link?

this scouting report seems to think differently

quote:
It’s hard to tell, as this video shows him playing in garbage time against tired defenses blitzing almost 100% of the time. But, he has the arm strength that we saw from Nick Marshall. There is no place on the field where Franklin can’t deliver the ball. All things considered, his mechanics are better than Marshall’s at this point in his development, and the improvements that need to be made are easier to correct.
