re: Do Auburn coaches think TJ Finley > Bo Nix?

I agree. Check my post history about Jones, when everyone else thought it was gonna be Young. I held steadfast that Mac would be the guy. He's good.

That said he got the opportunity to play with the best talent in college ball. Best o line. Best wr group. Best rb group. Bama has it all. They will have the most talent again in 21. Young has everything he needs to succeed.

Totally agree - it's not some sort of gimmee that a QB is just going to be really good, but the infrastructure around them makes it a whole lot easier than most other places. And you can be an average QB who works hard and is smart and put up really good numbers.

Also, to the original point of this thread, I think bringing Finley in is a great idea. He's a solid player, talented, raw. He pushes Nix a little and develops with a clear starting job sitting out there in the near future.

Again, stats. Clean pocket with one option is totally different that pressure with few options. Gus had a scheme that Nix hat three options.
Find the primary receiver
Throw the ball away
Run.

No telling how many yards Nix would have have it he had a hot route option or routes designed to get WRs open.

---

And no telling how many times he would have accurately made that throw. Or had time to make the throw because the offensive line was poor.

He is what he is right now, and unfortunately for him he chose to go play for Gus Malzahn and that offense. Would he have been better in another offense? Maybe so, but he decided to go play in that one. Luckily for him, he has some good offensive and QB coaches around him now and has a chance to possibly shake off the Gus and turn into a solid college QB.

It cost him one year. A Covid year at that

It cost him 2 full years of development and training. Out of 3/4.

He was learning the offense you yourself have described as basic and bad for 2 seasons while other QBs were with coaches who yourself described as good at teaching. He missed two full seasons of that.

Doesn't mean he's doomed, but to act like that's no big deal is silly.

Now compare wr's and coaching.

Iron Puppet makes my head hurt please don't catch his stupid.

It's several reasons why Bo Nix struggles... it's not just his O-line which was ok but not great. Bo Nix only reads one side of field first off, I'm not sure if that is by design or simply he's unable to process information quickly on an elite level. Auburn doesn't run complex route trees either, Nix tends to drift to the right and passes off his back foot, rarely do you see him reset from a launching point to accurate deliver the ball down field.

Go back and watch any Auburn game he never gets to his 3rd read outside of the panic throws to a RB in the flats. Pretty much you have to break down all his mechanics and start over...within his mechanics are really bad tendencies.

Patting the ball and the dreaded "I'm not sure pump" on short immediate routes.

Refuse to step up in pocket.

Jalen Hurts like drifting to the right which automatically kills any chance at deep routes to the X-receiver.

Idk. Bo nix hasn't impressed me the last 2 years, albeit he was stuck in that dumbass high school offense that gus runs. Finley may very well beat nix out if he chooses to go to auburn. Just goes to show how deep and talented LSUs qb room is right now and it will only get stronger next year when we get stud walker Howard in the mix.

Congrats to you sir....without a doubt you're right at the top of the most obnoxious and overbearing people on this site.

I am convinced Bammers do not watch any games, they just read other Cult members post and claim it.

All Bammers are wrong all the time about everything and have one tooth and live in a trailer and fvck their sisters and don't have degrees and don't watch football games. All of them. All the time. Forever. I like the players and the coaches though, not like specifically, just as a generality. Any specific Bammer player or coach is paid for, a criminal, overrated, stupid or just generally gross to look at. But I like them, just not any one specifically ever. Stats are for idiots, except total yards passing which is useful to look at unless your coaches are good and then it's worthless. Also those coaches are overrated. If Nix had good coaching he'd have great stats but also he didn't miss out on coaching the last 2 years because in high school he also played in a shitty offense so stats are dumb.



I assume it's all a message board schtick and not a real life personality, because the latter seems too depressing to contemplate being real.

Not everything, just those I point out. Even SOG is hearing himself talk.
