re: This tells me Gordon is toast

When I saw Trent Seaborn as a freshman I thought he would be the number 1 player in the country but now? He just didn't become the elite prospect I thought he would. Based on who they've signed at Bama I think he transfers after a year or two then we'll see how it goes. Bringing him up against an SEC level player is insanity though :lol:

In all seriousness Iowa is 6-2 and he's been damn solid. I'm proud of him and wish him the best. the Baby goat lol

You don't have to. You're more than welcome to hold on to a QB that Florida St and Stanford fans no longer want. It's your right. I'll just stick with the guy who has a better record, bigger wins, less ints, in a better conference. You sure you don't wanna switch him out for Hank :lol:

Florida St is worse than us in a conference that's not as good. Are you saying you think he'd be better after throwing 12ints against slower defenses overall? Btw he only has two more TDs passing than ints. I could live with the number of turnovers if he had like 28TDs. Even if by some miracle you believe he's better ain't no way in hell we beat Baylor (6-3) since they played us or Georgia probably the new number 1 team with Ashton. Personally I now think Hank is the better option

Holden, Hank, and Ashton, and Tia. Those are the four players people are saying would be better behind this line. Ashton has 12ints this year and is completing less than 60% of his passes. Holden only played because the starter got hurt and might be the least athletic of the four. Tristan is talented with a bright future but throws ints like candy right now(practice). In my opinion he needs more time. Your best candidate is Hank Brown. Decent signal caller who's learned in a system and has played solid while not being asked to do too much behind a better Oline. I'll be fair and say it's a toss up right now, but I don't think Hank would have beaten Georgia. At the same time he might have done better against Tennessee..... while the other three losses I think don't change. Like I said I don't disagree that he's holding the ball too long. I mentioned it in my post. I'm saying highlight both sides. A bad Oline AND taking too long to process. Don't even get me started on the fact that we CANNOT run the ball unless it's Byrum's legs.

I'm looking big picture here. Can Alex acknowledge to himself this off-season what Auburn needs and convince the money men to buy SEC caliber lineman? That will decide what happens with his tenre on the plains. My defense of Byrum is more about people saying play Tia or mentioning QBs that left. My question is how are those guys going to perform behind THIS line THIS year. Going forward can this coach properly evaluate who needs to be on the field? Can he diagnose what is and isn't working quick enough to salvage seasons and get us to the playoffs (in the future)? What people are saying about Byrum's processing skills isn't incorrect, but he's definitely the best we have right now. We ride him to 8-5 and recruit (2028) with a winning season in our pockets for the first time in 5 years.

We failed this offense more with our Oline Portal recruiting than we did by bringing Byrum in. For all if his flaws the Georgia game showed he could have done more with decent blocking.

perhaps our QB would feel more comfortable letting go of the ball if our receivers could get open more consistently against elite opponents? He's taking too long to let go of the ball at times without question, but he also saved us just as many times. We have not one Offensive lineman that I trust to play well against the upper half of the SEC. How well are they blocking for our RBs? What about our terrible perimeter blocking and always being 3rd and forever because of penalties on earlier downs? He's been put in bad situations just as many times as he's thrown late or behind revivers. Let's be fair about this

If Byrum doesn't scramble we lose this game. Even if Tia's the better natural passer it won't matter if he's on his back.

I'm a sunshine pumper... and I know it's just Arkansas... but how in the holy hell has this kid not played? Dude had three sacks today but this was the first time he even saw the field at all? I'm actually worried about the ability to properly identify play makers now.
You doubted we'd go 8-5. To do that we have to beat Arkansas at home, Miss St without their superstar QB, Samford then win a bowl game. After beating Georgia I see no reason why that's not likely. Don't know who Roscoe is lol Plus I'm attacking your opinion, not you. Ashton has 11ints and is completing 59% of his passes btw.
What specifically about the players I mentioned was wrong? You really want Ashton Daniels and Xavier Chaplin on this team? Has Daniels beaten Georgia? Btw I agreed about several of the players of you noticed. You really don't think we can beat Arkansas at home? What about them looks good? Name a good performance they've had this year. What about Mississippi St with their 3rd QB. They looking like they're gonna kill us to you? If we lose this Saturday I promise I'll get on the hate train with you
Crawford literally didn't start playing well until like 2 weeks ago against Texas, Ashton threw 3 picks last game for a 3-5 team, Chaplin is God awful still, Amaris was a head case but I agree, Fields is comparable to the two receivers we have, Blocton has an amazing 1.5 sacks this year (less than Jared), lew and Lee are desperately missed. However half this board swore Lee sucked last year remember? Shall I go on? We sucked the last two weeks, but it doesn't shock me. How about we go 8-5 (very possible) and hit the portal like a ton of bricks and stop acting like Those are some major losses huh? Whatdya say
they bumped him up to a low 4* and it's still not enough. He might have been the biggest win we had in recruiting not on the Oline.

IF Hank Brown or Holden were here with this offensive line we would NEVER have beaten Georgia. Please for the love of Jesus stop praising dudes who lost their jobs elsewhere (Hank) or only played because the starter got hurt(Holden). Byrum is one of the few reasons we're going to be bowl eligible or better depending how we finish. FSU is 3-4 but some of you are mentioning Ashton? Christ this fanbase is hard to deal with at times.
All I wanted was people to stop falling into the hands of media people who hate us. Almost EVERY time someone brought up his mistakes they would add in 4 years of failure that didn't have sh*t to do with him. That's life, and I know it's what he signed up for but I hate that we played into it.
