But wait there’s more?! 🤯🤣

Good data and context (although perhaps you have me confused with someone regarding any 3rd-string prediction). Very funny! Thank you.

Wow, that not a single teammate would go to bat for him is perhaps the most concerning of your points. (We had a couple QBs about which the same could be said.) Thank you for the color.

Howdy! Yeah, it’s a pretty campus/area with a little topography; thanks for the warm welcome! Wow, your comments… Equal parts helpful and scary. I appreciate you taking the time to be so granular — exactly what I hoped for — although it reads like you didn’t have to think hard or long to pen that! 🤣

Holy Hypocrisy! Where/when did he make the slap comment? Media interview, digital print/ social media?

Full greetings from Texas - Texas State alum and rare football fan here. I haven’t followed Auburn football closely, but after the TJ news, I stumbled upon the linked analysis below of the QBs in your spring game last month. Is that piece is representative of the views of most who study AU football and understand the QB position? 🤯🫣 TJ’s heading into his 8th year as a starting QB 🤯🫣— this his 4th in CFB after 3 years in which he started multiple SEC games and 3-4 years as a starting QB in HS. So on the surface I was shocked and dismayed to read that assessment of TJ. Plusses = experienced at a high level, plenty of arm, and Big Ben-like size. Negatives/concerns: - decision making (is he not able you read defenses? or does he not ‘process’ well/quickly for a QB? - not quick/mobile threat - more game manager than playmaker? - occasionally inaccurate (I’ve watched limited film, though) - not the best pocket presence - flees instead of competes (3 schools in 4 years 😑🤷‍♂️) - unknown: would those around the program say that TJ is known as the “hardest working guy in the QB room”? addicted to film, studying defenses? gets to the facility early, last one to leave? etc. Would appreciate your insights. Of course, we’ll be interested to see whether Kinne promised TJ the starting job or plans on a real QB competition. Thanks all — and beat Bama! https://www.si.com/college/auburn/football/auburn-football-spring-game-quarterback-analysis-robby-ashford-tj-finley-holden-geriner

What’s the good, bad, and ugly of TJ Finley, for we long suffering Bobcat fans?

Per my intro post above, I’m hungry for Auburn Fan inside baseball and informed analysis of TJ, since you all offloaded him on us. Would appreciate you elaborating.

Wow, we’re inheriting another QB helicopter dad?! (We exorcized the Hatcher mafia in December.) Can you share any examples? I’m heating up popcorn now.

Please enlighten Bobcat Fans. What are some of TJ’s classic quotes?

Ditto my introductory post, above: would appreciate more on your view of the good and the ugly we should expect in San Marcos.

Texas State Bobcat fan here (yes, a handful of us exist!). Hope you don’t noons me stopping by. In the wake of Finley “slapping Texas State QBs in the face” last week, those of us who don’t follow Auburn football closely are thirsty for insights about TJ: That is, what are we really getting (and not getting) with him? Would appreciate any elaboration on your comment and any other.
