Even in disagreement , he is a forum favorite . Good post. I think that the people who have an ongoing issue with WDE tend to stay mired in negative conversations with other people on the forum, too.

Until he proves otherwise, I refuse to believe he will allow his program to be set back by a coach he did not hire. We are paying top 5 money for a coach that no one in their right mind would call a top 5 coach. So you can accept things as JABA, but Auburn Athletics is under different leadership. Like I said, ADAG is NOT JJ. I hope you are right but Gus should have been bought out since Green has been here and it didn't happen. I know there are other factors but he should have a very short leash. Shouldn't even have one at all really. The program's been set back enough. The uppers have already accepted JABA by him still being here. Winning whatever bowl game that was called ain't it. Yeah I'm happy we won and it should be a momentum shift but it won't matter that much because it will be the same ole same ole Gus'd up season. Everybody knows that the cycle will continue. Yeah we have the occasional good moments and probably will again this season but we know what happens. He's getting paid to set us back again for however many games they allow him to coach this season. We don't have time to deal with his bullcrap while UGA and Bammer are contending for the playoff every dang year and LSU and Tenn are coming along as well. No one in their right mind has playoffs for this team this year and the majority thinks 8 wins is the mark and it's the uppers' fault for this. Firing him during the season will suck.

doc4aday 1,887 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I know we have some coaches who post on this site, and I would like to hear from you what you think about the QB race and who has the best chance to win the job. I will admit that I am pulling for Joey, but will try to have an open mind on this position. WDE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aucanucktiger 1,784 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Not unusual or out of line to see hype - and plenty of it - for a key position player that was rated 4 or 5 stars in every source. True frosh starting against tough schedule as bad idea has been debunked across the country in recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may have a similar build, but may develop closer to a Dak or a Fitzgerald, or even as far as a Mahomes. Very true! Comparing him to Cam (or really anyone) is unfair. Just let him be the best Joey Ballgame he can be! On the other hand, it’s what we as fans and the media do, so the comparisons won’t stop. With that said, if we got Dak level production from Joey, I’d take it in a heartbeat! I would also be tickled with a more consistent Fitzy-level production. Anything beyond that would be gravy!

He came here despite Gus having a terrible track record with developing passing qbs or a passing offense. He and his family are all Auburn. As long as we dont hire some assclown, we are ok.

I will admit that I am biased on Joey, but feel like he is the real deal and will do us proud as our QB. I would like to know what Joey's 40 time is. I would guess around 4.6 or thereabout. Team Gatewood all the way! To answer my own question...Cam was a 5 star HS QB. Gatewood's numbers as a HS QB were nothing to sneeze at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Gatewood willingly rotated out at quarterback so his backup could get a college offer as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is very little I can say. He has all the attributes one wants in a QB with regards to size, strength, and athleticism, but so did Jeremy. I haven't seen him read a D or navigate a congested pocket. As of now, all I can say with certainty is I've been told his running is a strength, his passing is improving(inconsistent), and the issues from last year are no where to be seen. Also, the leadership he showed as a recruit has been on display again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
