Kelly Bryant as a "runner" is way way overblown. He is a better runner than stidham sure but people overrate his ability to scramble. Tate is a much better player and a lot more talented. Bryant almost seems more like a Dak Prescott type. More rhino than gazelle. Maybe not as good of a QB overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have loved AU football through every coach we have had dating back to when I was just learning about the game (Barfield to Dye). I love the team and the spirit of AU, and that will not change. We all want to Gus and Auburn to be wildly successful. Gus' ability as a coach is the issue, not how much we love Auburn or wish for success. Separate subjects, but one impacts the other.

If we miss on KB there will be a thread on KT almost immediately. That is very accurate. I watched many of their games. Even when mostly healthy....they handicapped him for sure. When they mixed in the pass with allowing him more freedom to take off and run when needed is when they looked good on offense. He certainly missed Rich Rod.

Again, it would be good news to have Bryant. I just don't see Bryant making the same impact as Cam or Nick but i think he'll help us not have a horrible season next year for sure.

Tiger 8,826 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 The more I think about it the more it makes sense. Tate underwhelmed a little bit under Sumlin relative to expectations and Gus looks to be a dead man walking. With their powers combined we could have the most Auburn season ever to follow up this disaster we are navigating right now! Yup I just talked myself into it. I'M ALL IN ON THE TATE TRAIN!

Auburn Kev 1,653 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Most current article I could find on Tate Quote Will Khalil Tate be Arizona’s starting quarterback next season? Nov 30, 2018 Updated 3 min Rumors swirled early in the week that Tate would transfer. That remains a possibility. The topic did not come up in initial discussions between Tate and UA coach Kevin Sumlin, who is expected to conduct season-ending interviews with players in the coming days. Asked after the Nov. 24 season finale against Arizona State whether he planned to be part of the program next season, Tate replied: “Next question.” Tate and offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone, who doubles as the quarterbacks coach, didn’t always see eye to eye in their first season together. Still, Tate passed for a career-high 2,530 yards and 26 touchdowns with only eight interceptions. Tate didn’t run as much or as often as he did in 2017, when he rushed for a team-high 1,411 yards. Part of the drop-off stemmed from an ankle injury Tate suffered in Week 2; part of it stemmed from Mazzone’s system, which doesn’t have as many designed QB runs as Rich Rodriguez’s scheme; and part of it stemmed from Tate’s desire to become a more polished pocket passer. Tate’s options include returning, transferring or declaring for the NFL draft. In order to play immediately next season at another FBS school, Tate would have to graduate by spring. It’s not known whether he’s on track to do that. Tate isn’t close to being an NFL-caliber quarterback at the moment, but he could raise his stock by returning to Arizona for his senior season, finding a middle ground with Mazzone and improving his leadership skills, body language and post-loss comportment. Tate possesses rare talent, and Sumlin has noted that Tate is capable of making throws that few others can. If Tate were to move on, Arizona likely would open 2019 with a quarterback who has little, if any, college experience. The candidates would include holdovers Rhett Rodriguez, Jamarye Joiner and Kevin Doyle, plus incoming freshman Grant Gunnell. Rodriguez will be a junior next year and doesn’t possess the upside of the others. Joiner, who made brief appearances in two games, and Doyle will be redshirt freshmen. Gunnell leaves St. Pius X High School in Houston as the all-time leading passer in Texas prep history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
