Bo is a terrible QB. TJ may not be the answer l, but I know 100% that Bo is not. Let us move on.

9/16, 97 yards
Finley came in and made plays when he needed to help the team win. His improv throws when the plays broke down were clutch. Within the system he was inaccurate and inconsistent. He looks like Jeremy Johnson standing in the pocket in terms of body language

quote:This. Got back and watch his feet on his drop back passes. He rarely sets them, and does a lot of dancing. That's mental. Pretty sure Gus broke him in the Swamp a couple of years ago. He was never the same after that. Slightest pressure, he's prone to scramble. He dances when there isn't pressure. He's excitable and can't seem to settle down, hence all the overthrows. He's never going to be the guy who stands in the pocket to make the throw, knowing he's going to get hit.

Keeps his eyes downfield when avoiding pressure and makes plays when he had to. He also involved multiple receivers. So tired of Nix scrambling, not keeping his head up, then throwing lame ducks out of bounds.
Ya’ll keep arguing for Bo…we’d be 2-2 with our most embarrassing loss in school history had he stayed in.

Was he? After adjusting, he made some text book throws. That last drive looked like an established QB. Even his deep pass was inches away from being a TD. He gives his WRs a chance to catch the ball. That is something Nix has never given us.

Look at his completion chart. His mid to deep pass completions is none embarrassing.

Exactly. His misses on the open receivers were by inches. Bo Nix had at least 3 misses that were nowhere near wide-open receivers. Just abysmal misses. TJ Finley is the cold QB coming into a losing game with his adrenaline probably pumping; what the hell is Bo Nix's excuse at this point? He threw a ball to a wide-open Luke Deal that went like 5 yards over his head. That deep-ball he threw to Johnson, who was open by ~5 yards, was so far off target that even with him DIVING for the ball it still wasn't catchable. On that endzone miss to Capers/Cannion (can't remember who it was) he threw ~3-4 yards high to a 6'4 receiver.
Another thing: did no one else notice Finley scrambling back UP and INTO the pocket? The O-Line was garbage with him back there as well, but he managed to move himself into a position that allowed him to see the whole field and deliver across the middle to open receivers. Bo Nix scrambles sideways and towards the sidelines. What this does is it immediately cuts the field by 2/3rds and forces situations where the ONLY option is to thread passes to the sidelines. Not only is Bo Nix not accurate enough to consistently make these DIFFICULT throws, but our receivers just aren't good enough to complete those plays either.
Do we all realize that on that 4th down play, where the O-Line blew it, that Bo would have run sideways and then lobbed the ball out of bounds?
The sheer fact that Finley seems capable of keeping his head up and moving back up INTO the pocket is HUGE. Yes, he'll probably take sacks and make mistakes, but the whole Bo Nix running sideways thing is a 95% fail situation.

Bo can’t catch ‘em for the receivers too.

quote:he missed several throws and made several bad decisions with the football. Stop trying to act like Finley looked great in his appearance. He was clutch when the play broke down and won over the team.
He gives his WRs a chance to catch the ball.
Harsin made the correct decision to pull Nix
it would also be the correct decision to start Nix in redstick. Why? You have to see how your starting Qb will respond. if he fails to respond correctly, you put in Finley and let him keep the reigns

I just rewatched the last drive. He made accurate sideline mid-range throws. His deep ball made Ga St respect our deep routes. I don't care who QB is; but they have to produce. I have seen enough of Nix to know he is not a QB. TJ gives us a chance in BR. Nix does not. Worst case we know more about our QB room for next season.

quote:he sailed one 10 feet over the head of the WR on his first drive iirc. He did however, just miss the WR in the endzone...but, a incompletion to a wide open WR is still that....an incompletion. Moral victories about how they almost were caught are meaningless. The WR was open.
Even his deep pass was inches away from being a TD. He gives his WRs a chance to catch the ball

I am not understanding your point. My stance is we have seen enough of Nix to know he should never play QB for AU again. Is TJ the answer? Don't know until he gets an honest chance at playing time. I saw enough in that last drive that will pair well with a running game and give us a chance to win.

Get real. You hate him as a Qb. You are ready to move on. But dont throw bull shite out there like Bo Nix isnt a Qb.

On a side note, funniest shite i have heard this year walking down the ramps after the game....some 5 year old kid was walking with his dad and i could hear him say, "our High school Qb is better than Bo Nix"
I dont know why, but hearing that come from a toddler made me laugh so hard

Did Bo hurt his shoulder against PSU? I think so.

Don't know but I did see him take some hits in that game.
I am not going to knock Nix, but I think pulling him was the right call for that game. I think our problems are much worse than qb play, though.
Anyone expecting spectacular qb play to save us this year is going to be disappointed.
