This will be my last response in this thread but outside of Stidham having a slightly better OL. Which would you chose?

2017
NCM
Kyle Davis (left team)
Ryan Davis
Sal Cannela
Darrius Slayton
Will Hastings
Eli Stove

2020
Seth
Schwartz
Stove
Jackson
Shenker

Which group you taking?

Biggest difference is Bo is a leader. Stidham was player. Bo plays with his hair on fire. Stidham was careless with the football and would come off the field smiling when making a stupid bonehead play.

I like all opinions don't agree with all opinions but I do like the discussion.

Uhm, I would rather have that 2020 group that features two receivers who are likely to be drafted (Seth and Schwartz) vs. just Slayton in 2017. Is that even a serious question? NCM and Kyle Davis did basically nothing at Auburn. Either way, the talent different there is negligible. Are we arguing that 150 pound Will Hastings was a difference maker?

The second part about "leadership" is where I KNOW you guys are just looking at the last name and making up your own conclusion. What has Bo Nix actually led this team to?? This offense has been below average in both of the seasons he has been here. It was COMPLETELY dysfunctional this season. He doesn't even look that well-liked by the team and earlier in this season got into a pissing match with his best receiver. He also got into it with the OC on the sideline. I've seen MULTIPLE people state that they notice Nix sitting alone on the sideline and getting very little congratulation from his teammates when he actually does make a play. Playing with your hair on fire doesn't make you a leader; if anything I'm sure his teammates were pretty frustrated watching him try to do his own thing like Manziel on every other play. You think that Stidham was "careless with the football" and yet I've literally seen Bo Nix just blindly throw the ball up into the air on multiple occasions as he was being tackled outside the pocket. In the Northwestern game he tried to hurdle a guy standing straight up. In every game this season he has at least one play that qualifies as trying to do way too much which leads to an incredibly dangerous decision, so it sounds to me like you're watching one guy with a completely different set of glasses LMAO. If he was such a natural leader, how does Alec Jackson go into the Bowl game and make like 3 false start penalties?? You're literally over here telling me that because the QB runs around like an idiot and takes hits and "plays hard", that this makes him a "leader". Its the most basic analysis of "leadership" possible. What, because Stidham smiles it means that he's not a leader?

The entirety of Bo Nix's career here can be summed up by one thing: giving a kid uncredited praise for things that he actually hasn't earned at all on the field. Oh he's an A++ football leader - nevermind the fact that the offense under him looks completely broken and discombobulated and the coach was fired as a result of it. Oh he has "elite arm talent" - nevermind the fact that he struggles to complete passes at every level of the field, and literally had a whopping 12 touchdown passes this season LMAO. He literally has 28 touchdown passes in 24 games played. That is as pedestrian as it gets.
