re: Watched the game twice my observations

I saw TJ Finley make one pass on 4th down that luckily was caught. That makes him a hero for a minute, it does not mean he is better than a healthy Bo.

Luckily was caught? It was right at the receiver's face with a minor hop. No crazy body contortion required. No need for the receiver to jump 5 feet into the air to get his fingertips on the ball. I realize that accurate strikes are kind of a rare occurrence from an AU QB over the past few seasons, but to suggest that 4th down completion was some "miracle fluke" is mind-blowing. It was a perfect pass to a wide open receiver.

Posts like this one just PROVE that there is no objective way to hold a rational discussion with these people, because of one guy's last name. I have never seen so many people clawing and screeching to keep a ~55% completion percentage, 150-200 yards passing, ~1 TD QB into the lineup for this long. If the kid's name was Bo Jefferson he would have been boo'd out of the game about 15 starts ago. Jarrett Stidham got more shite than Nix did despite being so much more effective it's not even funny.

Normally when a fanbase refuses to let go of a QB, it's because they are some high risk "big play" specialist that every once in a while delivers some 400 yard game. What you are seeing here is literally devout refusal to look past a QB who's "GREAT GAME" is 250 yards and 2 touchdowns. Literally. Are you people really that excited to watch these 180-yard, 1 TD, 55% completion outputs? In 2021?

"Game managers" are normally the least popular types of QB's. They're the FIRST ones that fans demand to put on the bench. What we see at Auburn is some sort of parallel-universe type shite where the idea that seeing if someone else can do more is unfathomable.
