Yeah, not a dumpster fire. Auburn 2012 was a dumpster fire. This team has nothing in common with that one.
I know we've been through this before, but Auburn wins 3-4 more games last year with a QB who could execute. It's not the offense adapting to personnel, but it's an offense that thrives on big plays.
I'm fine with Steele. Auburn in this era isn't defined by defense. We need one that will allow fewer points than the opponent scores. That was only a problem last year with a talented QB who couldn't handle the pressure, then starting a freshman who was hobbled by a knee injury, and then losing your best receiver mid-season.

I admittedly said that for Rabern57 benefit.

Yes. And so would Georgia. Problem was, neither of us had that. I always thought that Marshall was more important to your offense than Mason was. not belittling Mason, at all, I just felt that Marshall made the offense click.

You may be right, but the QB that can execute and is a threat to run is what makes those big plays happen. Also, you can't have a QB that gives the ball up.

Maybe. but he is a definite downgrade from Muschamp. Can you survive with an inferior Defense? Yes, but ONLY if your offense is hitting on all cylinders.

We will have to agree to disagree, then. You struggled from the very beginning. You struggled with an inferior Louisville tea. It got worse with Jax State, and went steadily down hill. Losing your receiver might have hurt, but your problems were evident long before he went down. You had three games in which you actually looked decent. Ole Miss, Texas A&M and Alabama. Other than that it was pretty bad, and I will chalk Alabama up to a team that took Auburn lightly and put forth a less than honest effort. (You can argue Arkansas, but....)
And when you look at this years schedule it gets ugly. A bad loss to Clemson could send your team into a tailspin.
