He ONLY orchestrated a 98 yard drive and gave us the go ahead score. I don't care if he doesn't the Moonwalk before throwing a TD strike. That dude is a baller, and you are in a serious minority of people that don't see it. o Nix?
i would love to see your take about Bo Nix after he led Auburn to victory against Oregon.

also, the 98 yard drive was aided by the refs on a completely bogus call. And Finley sailed a guarantee TD. Stop acting like finley looked all world.

That was 2 years ago and we crowned him the savior.

The blown call didn't end the game. It was still 2nd down going in.

But I agree that one drive does not define a QB. We have two average QBs

There is no indication that they wouldn't have scored regardless of that call. It just seemed inevitable that we would win after what Finley was doing on that drive in terms of converting 3rd downs. Georgia State did literally nothing the entire 2nd half and seemed to think they could just delay their way to a win. From the blocked punt on we controlled the entire game. Seemingly ~90% of the time when a team does that, they end up losing the game. As the post above stated, that "call" came on 2nd down.

Yeah, and then he followed it up with a strike under duress for the win. Bo Nix sailed two guaranteed TD's earlier in the game - and they were much worse misses than Finley's miss which actually hit the receiver in the fricking hands, so I'm not sure what the hell this point is supposed to mean. Nix sailed a ball over the head of a 6'4 receiver with no one around him. He overthrew Johnson (who was open by ~5 yards) so badly that he even dove for the ball and came nowhere near it.

Literally nobody has claimed that Finley was "all world". It's not fricking hard to comprehend: one guy was in there for nearly 3 quarters and did frick-all. The other guy came in with the team LOSING and won the game. One guy made plays on 3rd down, the other guy didn't. They both played behind the same shitty OL and were pressured - one guy scrambled up into the pocket and was able to deliver the ball to open receivers, the other guy ran sideways like he always does resulting in incompletions that are essentially outright throwaways.

Not one person has claimed that Finley looked amazing. The claim is that Bo Nix looked bad, which he did, and was rightfully pulled after having most of the game to do ANYTHING on offense. The backup came in, wasn't perfect, and still made enough plays to win the fricking game.

Are you one of these morons who thinks that Bo nix needs 4 full years worth of starts to "get his confidence"? He's in his 3rd year of starting and can't deliver a consistent ball to open receivers. Most of you don't even realize that despite his absurd number of starts, he has barely any standout games - he is the definition of a game manager. At best you hope that he doesn't turn the ball over, which he thankfully doesn't (because he's generally not even accurate enough to throw interceptable balls LOL) but you just witnessed a game where the other team stacked the box and dared him to throw...and he couldn't even hit the gimme big plays to wide open receivers.
