Accuracy, consistency, pocket presence, anticipation, defensive knowledge and awareness, leadership, work ethic, coachability, tenacity, determination.

The biggest things Gus needs from a QB is toughness, making good decisions, & throwing the deep ball well. A running QB isn't necessary although it's nice. Gus can still get the misdirection in the run game he loves so much via orbit motion plays @Maverick.AU shared with us yesterday. 14 minutes ago, bigbird said: Accuracy, consistency, pocket presence, anticipation, defensive knowledge and awareness, leadership, work ethic, coachability, tenacity, determination.

Let the biggest swinger prove himself and whomever it is be supported by the fans. Competition breeds excellence and sharpens everyone's skills. Winners will rise and others will fall away. This can not be seen as anything but a good thing. If he comes in, pushes Malik, Joey, Cord, or Bo and they have to step up their game then good, they all need to. It forces them to stretch and become uncomfortable. Their game will either grow or fade. The team will respond to the QBs fighting and we will all be better for it... No matter who wins out.

But he does have 3 years, 39 career pass attempts of which he completed about 70%, 3 touchdowns and no interceptions at a program that is a Pez dispenser for Heisman QBs. He's got 2 years of eligibility left which leaves plenty of time for all the other guys except Willis. Oh. This is rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider...he was recruited by Lincoln Riley to Oklahoma while he was in HS. Then the okies brought in transfers who played in front of him twice. He got little playing time and took a redshirt year also so after three year he had only a handful of plays.....but he got his degree. So time to move on. JMO but pretty easy see why he might not feel much loyalty to the okies…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you liked the 2010 inverted veer, Gatewood should be a star in that. Malik has proven to be very competent in the 2013 read option offense, and he hasn't yet ran it with the threat of the pass to the flats (RPO, essentially) like Nick enjoyed. What in the world have you been watching? He has not proven to be very competent at all. Gatewood with 1 run showed more flashes than anything that Malik has ever done. Malik WILL NEVER be the starting QB for Auburn. EVER. He is not SEC caliber of talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ummm Baker transferred to OU in early 2014, long before AK committed to OU in 2015, much less enrolled in 2016, so that can't be used as a viable reason or detail.

Looks like LR wants mobile QBs as evidenced by landing Spencer Rattler & the QBs he got to transfer in while OC at OU. I just think this points to AK not being a scheme fit for LR & both probably agreed to part ways on good terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Riley has been the guy's OC or head coach the entire time so it's not like there was a sudden change in philosophy, was there? Didn't work out, writing's on the wall. Maybe there's bitterness, maybe not but the dude clearly isn't going to play there and he isn't going to stick around out of sheer loyalty if someone else will have him.

Just saying there could be other things than loyalty in play. Dismissing it as a loyalty thing seems short sighted to me unless we get info echoing that.
