Also Trevor Lawrence was a 5 star QB. By far the #1 player in the nation last year. Trevor Lawrence could start on any team this year in my eyes save for Bama with Tua. I like Bo Nix . I think he is going to be very good. I don’t necessarily know if he will be ready as soon as he steps on the plains. Lawrence may have been No. 1 recruit last year but my understanding is that it was debatable a toss-up between Justin Fields and Lawrence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin fields has a lot of potential. Quite a bit of UGA fans want him to start right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poorly executed by JS. Definitely did not see it well. Hopefully he is hitting some film study this week. 3 pretty good routes and a good pocket.

As long as he doesn’t get sacked 11 times in a game , we have a fighting chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just noting that like JS, he sometimes has trouble pulling the trigger on his pass plays and of course he probably turned a good number of "potential sacks" into gains of some kind.

KolchakAU85 430 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 So, where is Joey Gatewood in all this mix? With the arrival of Sandberg, and the anticipation of Nix, is Gatewood now just chopped liver? I thought he was highly touted just a few months ago.

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I'd rather keep Gatewood and Sandburg and Bo Nix for 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s being wasted being stuck in the wrong ball n chain offense that frowns on passes anywhere near the LB/Safety areas. Yet folks are somehow scratching their noggins over the pic McElroy posted. Is he better than Chris Todd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not Top 3 college QB since 2000. Lofty starting record due to his 5-star teammates. Easy to scout defensively. Again, one TD against our D, a desperate hail mary-esk toss w no offensive PI and would have been blanked by the Georgia D had Tag not been an option. I said he'd be top 3 here, not overall lol.

Alot of people that supposedly have closer ties into practices and such believe that his passing ability is a lost cause apparently. IDK how well you have to be able to throw to be in a Gus offense or how they were measuring him, but who knows? I rather see him in a Gus-Auburn pre 2015 offense than see Gus try to design another passing offense with Bo though, unless the talent discrepancy is just THAT large. We can try this 1000 times but outside of screens posts and occasional intermediate routes, asking for pocket passers to work here seems like a broken record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are guys that would immediately start at 99% of programs and Fields would probably be closer to Fromm (if not having passed him) if they weren't 40x more talented than the East teams they play. I could see Smart not hesitating to sub Fields in against say, us, in Athens if it starts looking like the difference in mobility is the reason they lose.

A highly touted athlete with the hopes of developing into a QB. He's not chopped liver. He just has to develop & his attitude has to get better.
