In all likelihood he's not going to end up an elite SEC QB. There is a very reasonable chance, however, that he is one of a long list of very good and winning SEC QBs who holds a lot of records at his school


That would be more an indictment of Auburn.

I reality, Nix just hasn't lived up to his 5* billing yet and he's shown some poor fundamentals at times. He has a couple of years to change everyone's mind.

The Bo "picks" Myth


Came into this thread hoping it would be a discussion of Bo Jackson's record at picking the winner in football games.

Very disappointed.

Meaning Bo is not the interception machine, people claim him to be.


I never heard anyone claim that.

Just that he was a mediocre QB.

Out of the 12 QBs with enough attempts to qualify, Nix was 9th in Passer Rating. This isn't people unfairly expecting him to have a Jones-esque year, or even one on par with Trask and Corral; but when you're behind Vandy's QB?

Is the argument going to be that Nix had less talent around him than KEN SEALS?

I believe he’s referring to the Bo Pix nickname around these parts

Your anus is still throbbing over that one, huh?

Well I also meant our OTHER Heisman winning QB. Sorry, should’ve been more specific

Thought the same thing and thought maybe I was the one missing something

Have seen plenty put him down as a QB but not the "interception machine"

Facts say the name doesn't make sense. But it's just so darn smooth off the tongue.

Gonna have to rule that the nickname STAYS

Maybe that happens more in scoreboard threads but honestly haven't seen that name but twice or three times from what I remember

He has only had 6 games throwing 8+ yds per attempt (3 ea per year), so it makes sense that he'd have a lower INT rate, no?

We'll find out more about him as a QB this year. Gus' offense hasn't historically stretched the field. He used the ground game and a mobile QB with a passing threat to build success in years with great line play.

Nix may very well be a really good QB; we'll have to wait and see.

Bo Pix sounds better than Bo Incompletions.

Maybe Bo Zits would fit better??
