I don't want too much of a dropoff from a passer's aspect when he leaves. And if we are worried about to many QBs on roster they have a way of finding themselves in other locations after a couple years figuring out the pecking order 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually 1 of each every year. 1 DT and 1 PP in each cycle. If I were chip I'd be talking with E. Jones, M. Corral, and heck why not the kid for south alabama Jack West. Stidham is a DT QB. Non DT QBs don’t score 16 yard rushing TDs against Bama. And Gatewood is legit. Been saying that for two years now and sticking to it 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure the coaches has a pulse on this and I feel Iike if JS was a big threat to jump, our coaches would be urgently recruiting another QB. I know we are still talking to Emory Jones, but it doesn’t seem like the coaches feel they have to have another QB in this class. If JS does return, our offense could be one for the ages.

I agree with the sentiment we need to recruit good passers but I don't think we have to sign pocket QBs to do it like Jay is wanting every year. I've notice an increased passing ability from Dual QBs lately. There are a number in this class who are throwing at a 60-65% completion clip or better. That wasn't the case a couple years ago. We just have to do a good job of getting the duals who are already good passers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehighfan 1,240 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Speaking of DT QB's after the game they were talking about all the players thuga had coming back and coming in and they named Justin Fields. I had forgotten about him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUpreacherman22 3,879 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 JG is a great runner!!! Big, strong kid with speed and sick moves!!! If he develops into a good passer, the rest of the SEC and nation is in trouble!!! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True ..but he looks more than adequate to me but that is against HS competition of course......but I sure would not move him to TE or wherever before he even gets here.......wasn't that the plan for Cam at one school.....and maybe Tebow too. Guys that didn't look like QBs are supposed to look. And Mullen being at UF has me a bit concerned ....will JG be an early signee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerman1186 537 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Any new coach at the university in the state where a top recruit lives is going to make a call....the new coach at FSU will do the same... I think JG is a full AU TIGER...best to him and his mates this week in the state 7A finals v. Venice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. Joey barely got any snaps at QB before this season & had to split QB snaps this season. He would need a lot of work to pass MW in year 1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarEagle2423 357 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 If JG doesn't end up at AU, I'll be so shocked and disappointed. He seems to have a Deshaun Davis type love for Auburn. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only QB we're bringing in (at this time) is a project IMO. The words "would need a lot of work" doesn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling and MW, again IMO, is in the same boat. So if JS goes down with an injury then we are up the creek but of course we've been in that boat all season. We really need another top QB in this class and preferably one that's further along in their skillset that could contribute if it came to that. And this is no disrespect to JG or MW but this is the SEC. But hey.....maybe I'm overreacting and everything will work out just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find myself liking the word "project' less and less each season- no matter what anybody says, every high school quarterback needs a lot of work before they're a college quarterback and, in today's game, I'm not sure that a polished high school passer has a better chance of success in college than a freak athlete with less experience throwing the ball- but otherwise I can't argue with any of that. We need two quality guys in every class until we develop some legitimate competition and depth. Side note: the story of Sean White continues to be a very disappointing one.
