There are several out there that would be a waste of time and scholarship. A couple of others could help us bridge a one year gap. I can go either way assuming we can get a good fit. If I had to guess, I'd go along with your thought that Nix or Gatewood will win the job. There's plenty of talent already on campus, we're not really desperate for a 2019 QB. I'd really prefer that we use the coaching time and practice reps on the guys that are already here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish he had some wiggle room so we could start one of bo or jg and get them all the reps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autan 737 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I think we have enough dual threats (4 to be exact) none of which have shown that they are a top notch passing threat as of yet. I doubt if Kendall or any of the other GTs will sign with Auburn. I just don't think CGM will promise them the starting job. They'll have to earn it at Auburn but some programs may be desperate enough to assure the prospect that the job is theirs to lose. It will be interesting to see how it all shakes out.

Also if Malik doesn't win the job he may move to DB. That leaves 2 that would be used as Duals FWIW. 2 hours ago, autan said: I just don't think CGM will promise them the starting job.

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,652 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I hope Willis pulls a Woody Barrett and goes to a smaller school just so he can know for himself how good a QB talent he is. He could move and all of that, but I feel it'd eat at him forever if he never got to play the position he loves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather have him be one of our DBs if he has an open mind about it if he doesn't win the QB job. We were one of the few schools to recruit him as a QB.

It’s my personal belief naturally, but it rarely seems that converted QBs ever seem to have the same fun. Again, just me Id definitely agree that he loves auburn though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think if he could put it all together he could be deadly with the RPO and the zone read. He has shown flashes at times of being real good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexava 6,973 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 All you can do is have an open competition ( forget I said I would promise the job to Hurts) but still you have a competition and go with who wins it. Forget how big and athletic Joey is. Forget Bo and his high school success. Forget Malik has been one turned ankle from the field for two years. Forget that Cord is 37 years old. And certainly forget all us internet coaches. The best man wins the rest decide to continue on the same path or work with the staff and change roles. We just watch.

I would like nothing better than an open competition, however, looking for a GT QB doesn’t sound like it would be opened if we get said GT. Looking back at Gus’ QB battles in the spring; It wasn’t opened in 2015 (JJ was it from the get go), 2016 (anybody but SW), 2017 (JS was the shoe in) or 2018 (there was really not any competition). Gus seems to go into the spring with a definite front runner and usually sticks with it. I just have no idea what Gus will do with the talent he has on the roster. So, as usual, I will just watch and observe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
