Do you really think he can mold a QB to NFL in this system or is the GM System too immature\basic to allow a true development of a QB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Dilly can develop the physical technique and skills to be a good QB. However, the mental skills like reading defenses, progressions, timing/awareness will always be underdeveloped in QBs coming from Gus' system.

Much easier when you walk into a situation knowing what the boundaries between your job and Gus' are. Dilly can step into an undivided situation without notions of wanting to run the offense to feel validated as the OC. He can focus solely on helping Gus run his offense...something Chip didn't have the privilege of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gus changed them though at various times which made it frustrating for them to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you think Gatewood is a transfer risk? Seems like he is in good spirits currently. Maybe in a few seasons I would say he is a risk . Also he is one play away from leading AU .

Small sample size on his passing but he appears talented enough to start for a number of P5 schools and he's only a redshirt freshman. I just don't see him riding the bench for 5 years at AU when he could likely find somewhere he could start for 2-3 years. I'm sure Jalen Hurts loved Alabama but he did what he needed to do to improve his situation and no one can blame him one bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notice Gatewood didn't have any packages that Gus used in the MSU except the one play where he went out for a pass. These kids, especially QBs with his measurements need to play to get the chance to play in the NFL. And with the transfer portal, Gatewood will start for someone if he transfers. Its a matter for him, if he wants to sit out a year or go to a smaller college in order to start next year. I see no reason for him to stay ...

That's a new factor in college football that has to be paid attention to. I can see Gatewood leaving after he graduates early but as of right now he doesn't seem to be giving off those vibes. Having already redshirted, he'll waste a year of eligibility if the transfers before graduating and he'd only have 2 years left. He might as well just stay here for now, play as much as he can and and hit the books if he's interested in moving on later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy hell he would be tough If I were Gatewood and I had chosen to transfer you’d have to look at some of these AAC schools or even a Big 10 school if you really believe in yourself as a passer. If I’m a gambling man I likely lean towards JG departing; wouldn’t blame him and I’d follow his career cheering for him. That being said, I’m glad to hear we’re already preparing for this possibility. Bo’s trajectory is tremendous but I don’t know if we want Cord coming in in case of injury. Garnett might be viable in the future but he strikes me as a little bit of a project. Looking at who we’ve offered (according to 247). Tennessee’s 4* star commit Harrison Bailey 6’4.5” 224 lbs could be considering sliding somewhere else unless playing time is a premium to him. I don’t think we flip the Clemson/Ohio State/LSU/Notre Dame commits. Haynes King would have been a tremendous get and I think he may push to start right away at TAMU. Young (Bama) and Card (Texas) won’t be flipped. 4* 6’1” 193 lbs. DT Luke Doty (SCar) could be flippable as Muschamp inevitably burns down another program and offense. 4* 6’2” 175 lbs. DT Malik Hornsby isn’t committed anywhere. Might be a kid who would warm up to us if we pushed harder. Would still really like to get Robby Ashford. Ole Miss could very well be another program about to experience a coaching turnover. I know there’s some differing opinions on Ash but I like him. 4* Chandler Morris is committed to Arky which also might have some turnover soon. He’s only 5’10” and 172 lbs. though. Surprised he’s a 4* with those abysmal measurements. Maybe he turns into a gamer but that’s an unfortunate frame to try and win with in the SEC.
