Hey man I’m not making fun of you. I’m in the same boat. We are desperate for a splash on offense. I do think that we should tamper our expectations to maybe a Jack Sears or Robby Ashford. That’s what we are likely to get. But it’s also a real possibility that Zach Calzada is the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is optimism that they can coach out some of his deficiencies, and there is also belief that he may have been playing hurt for parts of this past season which would have obviously affected his performance (he got injured against both Bama and us, so not exactly a stretch). Furthermore, Calzada had both a higher drop rate and pressure rate than Nix faced at Auburn this past season. There is a tendency to default to "he looked bad with A&M's superior talent", but his receivers dropped a lot of balls and the OL was not helpful. We'll see; it wouldn't be the first time an OC/QB coach got overly arrogant in terms of thinking they could "fix" a QB. Calzada's tools are real, the accuracy is obviously concerning. Be careful using logic and reason in here!!!! 13 minutes ago, AUwent said: Look I'm pretty pleased with how we're handling defensive recruiting/roster management but offensive recruiting has for the most part been atrocious.

Nobody with any legit credibility ever even mentioned us having a chance. This isn't true; our recruitment of him has been talked about by Jeffrey Lee and other writers (let alone multiple "message board insider" types). We have been recruiting him hard and have felt like we had a decent to good shot. That doesn't mean that he was a lock to come here (literally nobody said that) or that it wouldn't be hard to pull him. Jeff Lee literally just said this ~15 mins ago: "Auburn is still pushing, “putting everything into this one,” according to a source tonight. But again, I don’t think Dart leaving is a coincidence. That’s not a good sign for Auburn imo." Edited January 11, 2022 by metafour 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don’t step up and pay to get better players, we may see this same game over and over and over again. Sickening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was higher on my board because he can recruit. He is proving it. They are going to give teams in the SEC East problems. We MUST recruit better on offense (defense was awesome). This is the Same problem we had with Gus. I am just mad watching that freaking game haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
au302 2,669 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Calzada is solid but we need another guy. Just don't buy that TJ and DD will be here come fall. I get that CW was a pipe dream. Money's not everything, but we should be able to outspend a BYU, WVU, or OM for Dart. If that fails, we should be able to get one of the impending UGA castoffs. Yet, I'm in believe it when I see it mode because that's how it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shuebru 39 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 My hopes are up about getting Williams with all the talk of making it through the day without hearing anything. But if you are looking to temper expectations, if I were Riley and Williams, I would announce it tomorrow to get full coverage and not be overshadowed by the championship game.

It's the obvious answer and I tend to agree, but then I read on OM On3 that they don't see that. Admittedly, those dudes are some of the biggest homers I've seen. Some smoke for him to OM because of Lane and a guy on their offensive staff that recruited him to USC. If we were actually offering CW a million, offer this kid $500,000-750.

AuburnEagle79 2,165 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I hope we get CW, but I figure USC doesn't want to announce and be overshadowed by the NCG, so I'm expecting the announcement today to shift the attention their way.

He’s probably more talented than anyone in our QB room. The point of my post is that there is absolutely zero indication that he even wants to leave Georgia. Much less come to Auburn. And he’s as unknown as Dee Davis at this point, so we would just be adding another guy that hasn’t done anything on the collegiate level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure having booming dynasties like Bama and Georgia being your rivals is hard but Auburn also has many built in advantages unlike many schools. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
