IN all honesty? djs made a compliment about Auburn. In discussing the OP, someone said something about Auburn not having a good year. He replied that Auburn's defense alone would keep them from imploding...which is very accurate.


I was responding to the team not imploding ONLY due to the Defense, which is very inaccurate if you know AU Football. I tried to point out that AU has the best QB in the conference returning, a deep WR Corp (some spring injuries), and a OL that played poorly last year, but has a lot of potential with proper coaching. djs wasn't trying to compliment AU and he showed he knows very little about Football. You keep swinging.

In fairness, I went back to look at all the posts, and it does appear as if a couple of Georgia posters tried to troll Auburn. (I honestly don't think that was djs' intent, though) I may have overreacted to your response, though. My apologies for that.

However, I think it is reasonable to think Auburn's offense could struggle, particularly early due to a lack of a proven RB and a new Oline. But more to djs' point, I think he is right. No team will implode if they have a strong defense. If Auburn struggles against Washington (loses to them, for instance) then LSU comes into town, it could be a bad start and snowball. I don't anticiipate that happening, but I also don't find it that far fetched, either.

You think UGA,Bama or Mizzou would trade their returning QBs for Stidham?

He is the best screen passer returning so I guess that
counts for something.

I successfully complemented auburns defense. You couldn’t stand it for some reason.

You proved my point about Bama and the west teams, and didn’t even know it, which showed who knows less.

Passer rating Stats also prove Fromm and lock are better returning Qbs. Again, you prove who knows less.

If you read back to my prediction I said simialr things about Auburn. Stidham does not handle pressure well at all, though, and with an all new, inexperienced OLine could face a lot of pressure against both LSU and Washington.
