You have lots of experience working with Gus?
He's a great system teacher. He is not, however, a great quarterback coach. His passing offense was about as basic and uncreative as you can get.

Well known NFL quarterback coach George Whitfield Jr., who coaches Roethlisberger and Newton, was one of the coaching mentors on hand during the week. Whitfield had the opportunity to coach and spend time with Pike, and feels like the 2012 prospect from Kentucky has a bright future.
"With Zeke, Auburn is going to be in the mix for some years to come," said Whitfield.
Pike's physical attributes are obvious, he stands 6-foot-5, 240-pounds, but more than that impressed Whitfield last week.
"He's a great kid, great personality, very competitive, extremely coachable," said Whitfield. "I always say when you talk about talent, is it impressionable talent, or locked in talent. Locked in talent will tap out, impressionable talent is big. When you've accomplished as much as he has, it's easy to say, 'OK, I'm here and I'm going to work hard, but I'm not letting go of my current system'. The exact opposite was true with Zeke.
Beyond Pike's progress as a signal caller, Whitfield said he saw something else in Pike that excites him. In a heated competition of quarterbacks, where egos run rampant, Pike displayed a sense of 'team' that Whitfield said was unique to witness.
"If somebody needed a guy to jump in the huddle, he'd jump in and go run a tight end seam, sprint thirty yards down field in a competitive situation, where the quarterback is relying on him to do well," said Whitfield. "He did that five or six series for other quarterbacks. There were very few guys were even willing to do anything other than play quarterback and help another guy out."
"This kid though, I'm telling you, there is no ceiling on him with his God given attributes."
In fact, of all the 24 prospects that attended the camp, Whitfield believes Pike's combination of God given ability, plus his drive to succeed, puts him in rare air among the quarterbacks of the class of 2012.
"I just thought he was the most dynamic guy and prospect up there," said Whitfield. "He's definitely going to be a youngster that I'll be looking over and I'm going to guide him all the way through this thing."
Whitfield and Pike plan to reunite this winter in California and continue to train, as Pike prepares to possibly enroll early at Auburn.

I really hope Zeke gets it together, grows up and gets his throwing motion on tap. Its just my gut feeling that we will end up with more of a pocket passer.
Im pulling for him. My gut just says it won't happen.
