The poster that said that corrected himself and said "Correction they said he is the best bet to be our 50/50 ball guy WR I read the DM wrong." Thanks for clearing that up. I must have misread. Yea King should be a big time contributor this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dang it; I like the kid. I think most of us wish him well in that capacity. I have yet to hear a bad word about him. Sometimes its just not in the cards at the current location.

AuburnNTexas 7,140 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 I have to admit I had high hopes for Dee Davis. But seeing the reports on his passing accuracy and having Ashford who is a bigger version of Davis with a stronger and more accurate arm meant that the writing was on the wall. Many myself included worried about the O-line and not having a mobile QB. Ashford can be a run QB if needed and Calzada and Geriner are big enough and Mobile enough to buy time to pass. I wanted Davis and am sad to see him go but it is the right decision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a HS stud doesn't always translate. So did every other qb on the roster. AU had zero to lose putting him in. AU did not have good or even average qb play after nix was injured 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people have to see with their own eyes before they'll believe it. Since we haven't actually seen Davis in game, he's the next possible Cam Newton in some people's minds. Most people I've read who say they've seen DD in practice/drills say they aren't surprised he wasn't a contender for the starting job. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like Dee was dedicated to AU. Stayed through a coaching change and gave it his all. By all accounts, he wasn't accurate enough and fell down the depth chart. Was quite possibly advised to look elsewhere. Which is Harsin's prerogative. In other words, no one did anything wrong. This is how it works out sometimes. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bigbird 60,512 Posted March 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2022 This is all I'll say on the matter. Dee can absolutely be an SEC level QB. Thinking otherwise requires very little nuance in ones thinking. Many said very similar things when Willis was run off and they were very wrong about him too. Thank you Dee for trying everything you could to make it work. This isn't on you or your considerable abilities. Right place wrong time type of thing. Good luck and continue to focus on your successes. 9 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildlife alumni 304 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 (edited) Best I can remember, DD ran a very run heavy offense in high school. Super athletic guy in that offense really opens up the pass. Also usually has less reads for him to think through. Kinda like Ole Gus’s philosophy. Different passing concepts. He may be a good athlete but it may just not translate to what Hars wants to do. Just like that sometimes.

If you're throwing scout team ints you'll be eaten alive in actual competition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck and continue to focus on your successes. I dont think the Willis Davis parallel is there. Willis, as far as I recall, was never chastised for very poor accuracy. Along with the Willis admitted mental/effort/whatever you want to call it issues which haven't seemed to be a problem with Davis. Even at Auburn, Willis had better strength and accuracy. I hope Willis does well where he goes, bit I don't see him being an sec starter or making it to the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen him play in a game? Have you ever seen him lead a team? No, you haven't. But again, you try a pass off conjecture and hearsay about his abilities as incontrovertible facts that you know to be true...but really, you don't know. Anyone that claims to, that hasn't coached or watched him live in games, is FOS. He didn't fit in this O. Period. I hoped he would be given a chance to show out, but he wasn't. That's not on him or his abilities. Also, that's not bias, that's understanding the athlete and the profession better than you. Dee is and has always been the quintessential "Auburn man" and should be treated so. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t think this is a repeat of Malik Willis at Liberty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
