I can't see how he doesn't. His ceiling is higher than the other 2 for sure. A Jeremy at his best is a very good QB. I don't think that is the case, though, or he would have already won the job. With that being said, I still think that he is the safest bet against Clemson, based on experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on what happened last year, I would think that if they thought JJ wasn't capable, they would have been giving JFIII and SW all the reps and not letting him in. I mean they said he was a practice all star last year so it wouldn't benefit them to see him in practice again.. All the reports are saying JFIII and SW which makes me believe that its JJ.

If all 4 QBs are excellent, then we have a dilemma of sorts. It would be funny if Gus did this, and we beat the crap out of Clemson. I know this will never happen. I just like to bring a bit of humor to the table to get everyone off of their negative take on this situation. I think we will be fine this season, I honestly do. It is time to drop a MOAB full of positive vibes on the team and all of naysayers or whatever you call them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not advocating drawing any conclusions about who is starting solely from 30 seconds of video per player. Just another datapoint that I hadn't seen applied in the 36 pages of this thread. 1. Woody didn't throw that ball, it was Devin Adams 2. Eli Stove made the catch. Jamel Dean is a DB who is out indefinitely with a knee injury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixie1860 27 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Unless he has really messed up the trust between he, and Gus, due to off the field stuff, SW is your QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStrength 0 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 1 hour ago, lionheartkc said: Definitely. But if that were the case, I don't know that there would even be a competition. Of course, the competition could be a smoke screen or a competition for #2. I've wondered if part of the ongoing competition may be due to Gus crowning JJ as the starter very early last year (earlier than he had ever named a starter at Auburn before), and wanting to avoid some issues that came along with that, like the hype potentially getting to Jeremy and, at lest mentally for the backups it would be difficult to *really* feel like you need to be game-ready when the starter is already the 2015 Heisman short-list (esp since the backups were young guys). 1 hour ago, AUEngineer2016 said: 1.

I realize that he's ALWAYS tight with certain types of info. But this preseason, it does seem like the AU practice facility is a CIA Black Site. Just a thought.... Yeah, Auburn renamed their practice facilities this week to "Area 51". Since fall camp ended, has the media been allowed to view any part of practice since?

VipersStrike1 230 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 22 hours ago, lionheartkc said: Yes... that is what Sean needs to work on more than anything else... making good decisions quickly. His accuracy is up there with some of the top QBs. He can read a defense and use his progressions. He's poised under pressure... but his brain doesn't process fast enough, yet (or at least it didn't last year). He still needs to the game to slow down for him more, which isn't overly uncommon for a red shirt freshman. That being said, his accuracy and zip in the bowl game was still not as good as it had been because of his injury. There was zero chance for him to zip either of those INTs in for completions. Both INTs, the defender had perfect coverage. Peyton Manning or Tom Brady couldn't have done it. They were horrible decisions to let the ball go, that had nothing to do with an injury.

Eagle Eye 7 2,535 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 My guess is it will be JJ but they want to put the pressure on him to make sure there is no repeat of last year. Also want to be sure that a backup is ready. I suspect JF3 has already been working his package. Also need to keep SW on the team so they are assuring him JJ will have a short string.JMO WDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No skin off my nose but before you judge too harshly.... I've been on this forum long enough, "we" see a lot of trolls who create accounts just to drop unsubstantiated bombs upon the forum, or start off "friendly" and then when they get their post count high enough to create threads they turn out to be bammers, etc. So when you drop info with no history of posting on this site before, and don't cite a source, people are skeptical. As for the font statement..he was just being funny. I thought it was funny....didn't you? Don't take it too hard. Just come with a good take and if you're legit...everybody will warm up to you.

VipersStrike1 230 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I recall Nick Marshall injuring his knee against Ole Miss in 2013. Funny how it never affected his accuracy or zip or footing or leg plant or anything next time he played, which was 14 days later in College Station. Yet White's injury easily lingered into the Bowl game and most certainly affected his accuracy, zip, footing, leg plant and all variations thereof according to the majority of this board. When will the guy ever heal? The guy's like "Cowboy" Bob Orton, donning the arm cast half his career... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never knew the actual extent of their injury, and if you watched Marshall run 2 weeks later, he looked fine, but when White tried to run after he came back, everyone could tell he was limping and couldnt function the same way. Injuries affect players differently. Now if you just have a problem with White as QB injured or not, that is a different story... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
