As for how this topic is relevant to Auburn football in 2021, it has everything to do with gauging our quarterback and the hiring of this head coach.

johnnyAU 3,630 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 The Malzahn effect extends from QB, to WR, to TE to OL, etc....None are really prepared for the next level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Stidham, I think it still will take more what abilities Stidham already had( Not counting his learning curve under Malzahn), to be a starter in the NFL. There are plenty of QBs in college who play in more similar NFL offenses, that still don't make it in the NFL. He's got 2 more years to figure it out, and then he's got to be cut or some other team will need to take a chance on him as a FA. He could go the route like AJ McCarron who now is on his 3rd or 4th team... I read somewhere Briles offense was very simple. Some plays were designed to throw the ball to one receiver, with no reads at all. The other three WRs ran routes designed to pull the defenders away from the target. Sometimes the receivers to the opposite side did not run a real route, the just jogged few paces down the field, the idea being not to wind them in a HUNH offense. There is nothing wrong with simplicity when it works. The problem comes in when there is not novelty or superior talent compared to the other team.

Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Just for the record and some slow learners here,,,,,I am not a Gus fan per se. I was as pleased as anyone when he was fired. I just don't hate him as a person but do wish him well. Based on posts here there are several sanctimonious posters I don't like. But I don't wish them ill will in any way. If fact, based on past experience it is likely we would be fine meeting in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUght2win 6,816 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Malzahn's system sucked for our NFL pipeline, no doubt. I'd like to point out to this QB coach, though, the system has nothing to do with your boy being petrified of contact. Maybe worry about that.

aucanucktiger 1,789 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Stidham transferred into and left Auburn with fundamentals he used selectively and that's as much on him as anybody. Watch him go into a fetal position vs mighty Tenn, and his 11 "sacks" vs Clemson. At Baylor he showed he could throw the ball away to avoid losses yet against Clemson, he constantly ran out of bounds unnecessarily for huge losses...i.e. sacks. At some point you have to say the guy had potential but not a professional, prepared approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's smart he will end up retiring in his mid-30's with several million dollars in the bank and very little wear and tear on his body. If he's really smart (and is so inclined) he uses the time to pick the brains of his coaches and learn that side of the football business. Not a bad deal.

I would give anything to be a quality backup QB in the NFL, for all the reasons you said. Dude can probably even have a dinner out in peace, and no doubt afford to do it whenever he wants.

Kroy Crofoot, is that you? Quote "I used to preach to our boys and others, who chose to listen, that there is a great opportunity in snapping and holding at the next level because you are working at something others choose not to work at," Kroy said. "This train of thought came from a comment by Holtz when he said, 'Kroy, there is always a seat on the bus for a long-snapper.' "From that point on, regardless of what position the boys played, they also learned to become long-snappers and holders." https://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/os-xpm-2009-08-30-0908280197-story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Charlie Batch who started out with Detroit, then relegated to a backup, and then signed w Pittsburgh and played 8 years only as a backup to Ben and retired w 15 years in the NFL mostly as a backup, but w plenty of money in his future. I'm just stating how his trajectory as a QB is starting to go at this point, although I would like him to get one last chance to be a starter but it looks like it is going to have to be w someone else. I think NE is setting things up to move up in draft and get one of the better QBs in the 1st round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attempted 526 passes for 3628 yds over that 13 years. 3 years he had no attempts and another 3 years he has less than 5 attempts. Started a total of 9 games over those years. Probably made pretty good money for the time (1979 to 1992) and I am sure draws a nice NFL retirement today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
