I think it's because Gus gets so much time to overthink the game plan and he just gets weird.

I have never understood why he places such a low priority on getting the backup QB game time experience running the offense. This bothers me on many levels. Preparation in case of injury, development for upcoming seasons, evaluation to see how they're going to respond under the lights....

Did he coach QBs when he was the OC at Clemson?

Too little too late. We're losing 6 and still couldn't sign a single 4*. Not saying these guys won't be good but that's definitely a red flag.

But can they block?

If he flips I'm guessing Lil Nick will tell him to Yeldon the AU staff. I'll believe he's coming when he puts pen to paper regardless of what he's saying.

On Halloween bammers pump kin.

It's getting pretty bad when it's so personal you don't want your backup QB to have ANY experience running the full offense. It's not like Gus is know for having a plan b when things aren't going our way so I guess that's par for the course with the Gus bus riders.

With the orange jerseys on right? If they could wear them during the games then your point might be valid.

People on here saying they know the limitations on a QB they've never even seen cut loose is laughable. Especially when the very small sample size we have seen he's look great. Truth is no one knows what's going to happen when JG is cut loose under the lights in front of a live crowd. Not you, not me, not Gus not even Joey himself.

I don't think anyone is saying he should for sure be benched. I think most are saying Joey deserves at least a chance so see what he can do while at the very least give Nix a breather and let him clear his head for a minute. Some people act like they would rather see Auburn lose than see Gatewood get a shot to see if he can help and I don't understand that logic.

Two words, Nall Ball

So according to your logic we should bench Tega and Iggy since they've been at their position a shorter amount of time than JG has been playing QB I guess you missed this report but I'm sure you know more than his own teammates anyway so no worries. https://247sports.com/college/auburn/Article/Auburn-teammates-cant-help-but-compare-Joey-Gatewood-to-Cam-Newton-131238295/

So basically what you're saying is that for Gus' offense to run you have to have a QB that can make something out of nothing. Lol Sadly I agree.

No that's not at all what I was saying. Im saying since the buyout was too large to cut Gus last year I would have hired an experienced OC with a proven track record instead of letting Gus pick yet another under qualified youngster and gave him full control of the O much like Steele has with the D. I'm saying I want someone actually proven and qualified to run the O as long as we're stuck with Gus.
