ClaytonAU 4,606 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Think he really wants to start as a true frosh and UF looks like the best candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgufcm 4,096 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Their QB situation is a mess. That's true. I don't see the guys on the roster really fitting Mullen's system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t like UF very much, and Dirty Dan even less, but they’re the best bet to give uga legitimate competition, so good luck EJ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewhiz7 273 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 So where does that leave us for a 2nd QB in this class? My assumption is we will just take one and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think about this too. if you aren't highly convinced on any QBs in the class to be the 2nd target no sense taking a 2nd guy you don't feel great about & have that more depth by taking 2 in the class be there to potentially hurt the recruitment of Bo Nix in the next class.

Joey has a lot of raw potential. While he has improved as a passer this year we don't know if he will progress enough to be a good SEC QB. I still don't want to take one for taking 1 but if they could have landed another they truly liked it would have been nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if Auburn is doing everything we can to get EJ then what else can we do? Should our contingency plan have been someone easy to get just so we could say we got our contingency man? Stidham and Willis and Gatewood...maybe the sky is NOT falling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m all in on Gatewood; I’ve been that way since he was a sophomore. With that said, it’s true that Gatewood is far from a polished QB prospect but he has the athletic ability to play all over the field. Sticking with signing just one QB is pretty risky if Gatewood is the one QB. After all, not having quality depth at QB has been hurting us for years.

And we still may get EJ, so let's just hang in there and see how this plays out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can afford to think about now and not the future. As history as shown us, CGM absolutely cannot and must always be forward thinking . I think you need to calm down for a second and not make assumptions About my post. All I am saying is depth wouldn’t be a bad thing. I am grateful that the staff went after the very best but now we need to make sure we build as much depth as possible . How do you think we got Sean White here?

wildlife alumni 304 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I am not for just taking a QB just to say we took one. If the coaches don’t like them, then do not waste a spot. We have several guys on the team that played QB in high school and I am sure they have a walk on or two. Would a QB the coaches do not want be any better than one of those guys? There will be three scholarship QBs next year. If all those guys get hurt we are in trouble. Hopefully get Nix and someone else next year that can compete.

The Plainsman 948 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 It really is more about lining up with Bo Nix next year IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey 16,550 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Any idea why we didn't pursue the Jack West kid that played QB for the Alabama team today? He looked capable and has committed to Stanford. He certainly appeared to be well above the level of a backup plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
