Barnacle 9,064 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Stidham and Nix are probably completely different personalities, so I don't want to sell Stidham short on his leadership skills, but in addition to having that "dog" in him, Nix appears to be a more natural leader than Stidham.

bg5 536 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 We got an OC this year that was supposed to be a QB whisperer. It's strange to me that if someone does something better it's the other coach that made that happen if they do something worse it's always Gus's fault ( I don't need a response to that it's just an observation) . If Nix gets better it's because he worked hard to get better. Nix to me has that in him. I think he played pretty good for a true freshman and think he will be a great deal better next year no matter how the O'line is. For Nix's stats to be close to someone who is now the #2 for the Patriots I'd say that's pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. I saw Nix talking to Whitlow at the end of the first half about getting down and saving time instead of fighting for the extra yards. Stidham would’ve smiled in that moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's definitely on top of things. I think he's going to have a heck of a career in coaching some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo had 1 more interception than Stidham, but if my math is correct 15 + 7 = 22. As a true freshman, Bo had 1 more TD. At the end of the day, the team with the most TD's usually wins. To me that's the most important stat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Bo was named the starter some were saying if Bo struggled it’s because of Gus, if he succeeded it’s because of Patrick Nix 🤣 That logic is so damn dumb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he def has showed himself to be one. He has almost by himself saved our OL for next season. The OC is just a title for him. We knew that going in to this. I never heard anything about QB guru. Now if Dilly goes with Norvell to be his OC at FSU if indeed it is Norvell after this weekend then YES!!!!!! Chad Morris absolutely has the rep as a QB whisperer.

Malcolm_FleX48 1,869 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 This last game out of Bo was pretty stunning. As one of his biggest critics, MOSTLY for Gus and play-calling, I think that this is the kind of game that needs to be built upon. Unfortunately, this is Gus we're talking about and I don't expect him to make many "Bo-Friendly" changes next year and lead us to any sort of passing improvement. We saw what happened to Stidham. Nonetheless, I'm more than happy to say that Bo is in a better place at the end of this season than I expected him to be. Going to be rooting for him to develop more and more and be a great 4 year starter for AU. (3 if we get a competent offensive coach next year or at the very least invest in a passing game coordinator.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respect your vision for the game. Let's hope Gus or whomever is in charge of the offensive side of the ball will be able to build around Bo's strengths and build a juggernaut.

AuburnMike86 43 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I'm extremely excited for our future with Nix. We're recruiting well. We have some good OL talent coming in this upcoming class and one of the top RBs. I also thought Stidham wasn't given a fair shake. We know he was good. We know he had the talent to take us to the playoffs. However, he couldn't run. We needed Baylor Stidham. He was 12-15 lbs heavier here and he lost a step or two. Baylor Stidham was a great fit. Auburn Stidham was good, but not great in a system that requires the QB to run 6-10 times a game or extend plays with evasive mobility. The issue is Gus. It's not that he's not good. I know how good our offense can be with the right players and the right play calling. The issue is he is too gimmicky and gets in his own head. He over thinks things. I have seen us look brilliant at times, and I have seen us look horrendous other times. I have seen us go conservative in the 2nd quarter. I have watched us take our foot off the gas and let teams back into games. I have seen us use three different QB's in the same drive and kill our own momentum... I want to see us open the playbook up more and dominate offensively. There are zero excuses at this point, especially moving forward. We'll have the line and depth. We have great RB's. We have a promising young QB. We have great WR's. If Gus gets it together, we will go to the playoffs and potentially win a title with Nix at the helm.

Swamp Eagle 5,128 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 11 hours ago, AUBourne said: What if it's not a floor but a baseline? I have seen little to no improvement in QB development in many years. I'm not blaming Nix. His dad did a great job preparing him for college. I 100% believe Patrick Nix saved Gus from another Kiehl Frazier/Jeremy Johnson fiasco. I think if Dan Mullen was Bo's coach he would be a contender for the Heisman next year. But I see no reason to think he is going to be dramatically better next year other than the fact Kentucky replaces UF on the schedule. Won't know if it's a floor or a baseline for another few years.

murpjf88 506 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Stidham also struggled with the deep ball against power five conference teams and like Nix, was wildly inaccurate when flushed out of the pocket, though he didn't have an offensive line either.
