If the other QB was not playing QB then the other QB would not be playing at all and would not have the scholarship offers that he has. The best thing for AU would be for Joey to be getting all the QB reps but Joey's coach don't work for AU he works for Bartram and his priority is, and should be, all of his kids at Bartram. Also, most HS coaches default to playing their best athlete at QB. This coach has the luxury of playing his best athlete everywhere because he has another guy who happens to be a legit D-1 QB himself. Exactly. That's the impression I've been given. The coach may be fully aware of the raw QB talent JG has; but is making his decision based on what's best for his team overall. No matter what position JG ends up playing at Auburn; he will shine.

GwillMac6 20,608 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 All good my man. I wish the other QB or Joey was on another team for Auburns sake so he could have ALL THE REPS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigereye78 61 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 (edited) No doubt. My Stepbrother's son(my nephew) is the QB for Bartram's JV team and unofficial 3rd string Varsity QB. He was on the sideline tonight charting offensive plays. I know he had to be thinking: "What the?" when they didn't put JG in on the goaline. That was a very winable game for all the reasons y'all have already mentioned. On a side note: I loved seeing JG wear the AU towel the whole game.

He has pocket presence like a upper classmen for college. Thank goodness this is our last year playing Clemson. He can make every throw. Based on this one performance, I have to agree.

JFDTiger80 790 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 (edited) I watched a lot of the game. Damn, Lawrence is the real deal. I hate him at Clemson. Just tired of Clemson being good. Gatewood is very athletic. He is a big axx dude. He will make AU better. Gatewood should have transferred to a better program this year like Trinity.

This is my first time to watch JG live. It would be insane for him to play another position in college as some have said he might. He has freakish athleticism, but has much better body control and throwing finesse than I envisioned. After last night, I am very excited about having him locked in. It's a shame he won't be able to showcase his skills as much at Bartram, but can't wait for him to be at Auburn. All that said, Lawrence is the most accurate HS QB I have ever seen.

AU64 10,122 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Guess Joey apparently likes his school, coach and fellow players and seems he has a larger view of HS than just a place to play football. Not putting himself first....good for him. He is going to do well in life...JMO. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imaolgatiger 523 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 It's one thing for him not to be playing QB, but it's an entirely different situation with not having him SOMEWHERE on the field! The coach is a moron. It's obvious that winning the game wasn't the priority. You get the ball in that kids hands or at least make it an option! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAG 33,955 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Looked very promising. Will be interesting to see what will happen with him and JF when he commits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now he's going to go head to head with another world class QB when he gets to AU. Speaking of, he's already got his spot at a blue blood program. Maybe he could grow a little more as a high school QB with more game reps, but clearly his rotation isn't preventing him from getting the college job he wants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be thrilled if we land JF, but I was watching JG last night and imagining him with 20-25 more pounds in an RPO offense and I can't seeing him taking a backseat to anyone. Our future is very bright. WDE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordoAU 87 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Dude is one of the most pro Auburn recruits I've ever seen. Not sure we would have gotten Asa or Hill if not for Gatewood. JF would be very good but I personally think JG could be just as good if not better. I will root for him over anyone. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After watching Gatewood last night, Fields is probably having second thoughts about Auburn, unless he really likes competition. Fields may be more polished and ready-to-play, but I can't see Gatewood sitting at Auburn for more than 1 season. Unless Bartram's coach replaces Gus. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeriderga 134 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 (edited) Gatewood is a very good athlete. I agree Bartram is hurting his growth and his standings in the recruiting rankings. Still the recruiting services (in references to their abilities) have him ranked much higher than his playing time warrants. The announcers last night were spot on. How you can leave the most athletic person on the Bartram team on the bench? Beyond my comprehension to be sure, The other Bartram QB was good, but he was not Gatewood good.

jared52 4,354 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 (edited) Just finished watching the game. Some of you are too hard on the BT coach. They made a great comeback and fell just a bit short. Both BT QBs were effective and made plays. I'm excited for Gatewood but I don't know if he plays the whole game they win. He took a lot of big shots. He needs a better fitting helmet too. This kid going to Clemson, assuming he continues to develop is going to be all world. His throws are silly good, his pocket presence is stellar, and he could probably fit into any boy band if football doesn't work out.

weagl1 1,781 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I watched the game. JG a very impressive young man in terms of athletic ability and maturity. He never pouted about the rotation at QB, which I personally thought was insane. He is going to be a great QB for us and a great leader. After seeing him in action I don't much care about who else we get. It's always nice to have a backup plan in case of injury but I have no doubt JG is going to be the man for us in a couple of years. Fields and Nix can come on if they want to compete but after seeing Willis in the spring game and JG last night anybody else who wants the job is going to have to have Cam type ability if they want to win the job over those two. I have seen the future and it is bright! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo Duke 49 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Joey will be fine. he has had several outside QB "gurus" volunteer their time to him, because they know it will pay dividends later on. His maturity, and not sulking, or questioning his coaches decisions are even bigger pluses than his performance. Gonna be a stud, and will wait his turn to show it! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
