AU-24 3,113 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 The similarities are many between this Webb saga and suggestions on this board when Russell Wilson considered visiting AU late Spring of the Khiel Frazier/Barrett Trotter/Clint Moseley era. The feeling by many (some still here) was that the staff would mess up the "good chemistry" between that QB batch and even considering Wilson would be flat being disloyal to that group. Whether we were ever in the running or not for Wilson, your QBs are either getting the job done or not. And it's hard to hide your QB in the SEC. I pretty much know this as a fact but AU would have had Wilson if AU would have committed to Wilson being named the starter the day Wilson walked on campus. Gus was all for this but Chiz shot this down. Being named and being the guy on opening day is two different things. Chiz wanted to put his mark on the O and wanted the QB position to be open. Wisconsin told Wilson he'd be the QB from day one. Boom Wilson goes to Wisconsin. This was told to me directly from someone on AU's staff. Not DC. FWIW. Gus told Marshall he'd be the man day one at AU. Marshall flips to AU. Another Chiz (Jacobs) mistake. Jacobs had nothing to do with it. He is not involved w/ the players coaches do or don't take. My comment referred to Jacobs hiring Chiz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionheartkc 6,150 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 But, yea... I truly believe that if all of the other P5 QBs would 100% buy into what they are being coached to do, and then bust their butts trying to be the best they could be, they would all be good. That's a very bold statement, but I respect the heck out of you and will challenge it no further. Appreciated and likewise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether we were ever in the running or not for Wilson, your QBs are either getting the job done or not. And it's hard to hide your QB in the SEC. The only reason WIlson chose WIsc over us was that Wisc had veteran and ALL-Big Ten OL coming back to support him. We had issues at OL going into that year. Wilson made the right choice.. Wrong. As WDE already said & has been posted many times from numerous connected people since RW chose Wisky, he chose Wisky because they guaranteed him QB1 while Chiz wouldn't even though Gus badly wanted him to. got it. I agree...wasnt it Chizik too that had to be begged by Malzahn and others to really look at Cam and press to get him to AU? I believe Coach Luper was at Blinn looking at a WR.

TigerWar 82 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I would not be at all surprised if Chris Todd has given Davis Webb a call to share his experiences and what Auburn's all about. Todd's pretty close to the program right now and he, too, played quarterback at Texas Tech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger1992 999 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I haven't read much of this thread, so forgive me if this has already been addressed, but if AU offers Webb is that an indication they are giving him the starting job?

Gus told Marshall that he'd be the guy from day one so Gus has done this but in this case I just don't know. I just don't like the idea of slow playing a guy then all of a sudden offer him this summer. Sink or swim with SW & JF3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they wouldn't say that, but E, realistically, would that be the case? Educated guess? Sean White will be the QB next year and if he gets hurt or has a bad day, Webb can come in and we won't have to re-do the game plan. Of course Webb will be given "an opportunity" to win the job but I think our need for him is to be White's backup. Put JF3 in for White and the gameplan has to change. Put Webb in and the change of plans won't be necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put Webb in and the change of plans won't be necessary. My take would be that Gus is looking for someone that can be better (if even by a little) than what we currently have. I also believe that if Webb comes it is because he knows he only has to be a little better to be the starter. Just like the rest of them Webb will be given every opportunity to start. To me it shows Gus is looking for someone that can get us to 10/11 wins, that the others cannot get us there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
