War to the Eagle 363 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Assuming Jarrett Stidham is off to the pros next year, which of these 4 is more likely to start Game 1 in 2019? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAG 33,980 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Bo Nix as a true freshman will not start game 1 unless he is a phenom. Some of you need to pump the breaks a little. He first needs to learn the game speed if anything and probably get bigger. Would not be surprised if he gets a RS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLoofus 35,182 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Cord Sandberg Given our track record since Gus was first an OC in 2009, "none of the above" is just as likely the answer as the two options given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, don't see Bo or MW starting unless MW gets A TON of reps this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuCivilEng1 11,004 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Am I missing something here with MW? The guy looks perfect for this offense and has performed pretty well in the time he's gotten to play. Is Bo that good that he can come in as a freshman and start over a very athletic and talented 2 year veteran of this offense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravejd 3,270 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 MW looked pretty bad in the spring game from what i recall. His "looking good" plays mostly consisted of him running the ball. I agree JUCO player to be named later is the most likely answer based on our recent track record with QBs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atl-tiger 655 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 If I have to choose between the 2 I think I'd give the edge to MW due to his ability to run. Could see Gus installing the NM 2.0 offense or something comparable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Win4AU 4,052 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Malik or Gatewood should be the choices. I pick Malik unless Gatewood breaks out in practice and Auburn’s does practice better than any team in the country according to Gus. Seriously though even if Malik looked like garbage in Aday throwing, his running will open the passing game up a lot. I say this a lot on here but go look at Nick Marshall against Wazzou in game 1. I left that game thinking 6-5 if we’re lucky. I think we’ll see a lot of Malik come game 2 and then we can start forming an opinion. Preferably it’d be Malik 19, 20. Gatewood 21,22 Nix 23,24. If Gatewood is Cam lite then shave a year off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auburn2Eugene 2,317 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Joey Gatewood I have to think there is no way Bo walks in and starts as a TF, high football IQ or not. And Willis would of been perfect for the Nick Marshall offense but we don't run that anymore. I hope Gatewood gets the nod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't run the Malzahn zone read offense anymore, but it wouldn't hurt to incorporate that into Lindsey's offense. Look at what happened against Alabama when Stidham became a running threat. This offense was already good with a pocket passer last year, but if you have a 50/50 shot to pull and run, this offense could become unbelievably nasty, really quick.

Yeah, it would be easy to swap the RPO with the zone read, but still... I still say Gatewood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SumterAubie 3,031 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 2019 is likely to be a tough year for Auburn at quarterback. On one hand starting a Freshman at qb is rarely a good thing. On the other hand, can Willis complete a forward pass. And on one foot, Gatewood is not ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuCivilEng1 11,004 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I have faith in Chip Lindsey to develop quarterbacks, until he goes all Lashley on us. I'm going to assume every qb on the roster is capable of completing passes until one trots out there and gives us the ole Jeremy Johnson treatment. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steeleagle 2,945 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 No way Nix starts the first game as a True Freshman. Gus will open up the competition with Willis and Gatewood and even Nix if he is there in the spring, but he will go with whoever makes the least mistakes and a better handle on running the offense. It should be Willis as he will be the most experienced, but i feel unless he shows consistent improvement, it will be a tossup between he and Gatewood, with Nix a very close third.
