Almost feels like you brought his name up for the sole purpose of starting a debate. Of course he improved his passing this year when he's had a stable of WRs that Tom Brady is envious of. Hurts does not run the zone read. Never has at UA. He definitely shies away from contact, unlike 2010 Cam. He only gains his rushing yardage when he can't find a WR, which was quite often last year when those WRs were pups. Point is, he would be a terrible fit in Gus' offense. Bryant is a much better fit because he has run the zone read and doesn't shy away from contact. I do believe Hurts could flourish for certain programs next season. Mizzou perhaps. Florida most definitely. Definitely not our's. I brought his name up because he's long been a likely transfer candidate. But dink has had Jedi mind control over him and he may stay put.

Since Bryan broke the news publically on radio I am going to post the quote from his site & where it came from. Quote Just passing on some new info... Kelly Bryant is scheduled to announce his decision Tuesday morning, and it might not be good news for Auburn. @RivalsWoody, who has contacts within Bryant's inner circle, is hearing the former Clemson quarterback will commit to Missouri.

Does anyone honestly believe Gus keeps his job post-2019? Sure, it's possible (insert Jim Carrey gif) Gus lands Bryant and wins the West like many of us envisioned when Gus landed Stidham two years ago, but IMO, the difference in the returning rosters post-2016 and post-2018 are night and day. Without Bryant, we are at best a 7-win team. With him, we are at best a 9-win team. If you are Gus, you are recruiting Bryant as hard as you recruited Stidham. Two extra wins is everything as a HC. IMO, to Gus, landing Bryant is more important than landing a new OC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abw0004 10,125 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Well with our OC a question mark the night before it’s hard to see him commit to us. I know I keep saying it, but I am very excited for Nix. A-Day should be exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUwarrior 26 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 6 hours ago, McLoofus said: He's experienced, he's a winner, he's tough and he knows how to run the kind of offense that Gus was successful with four years ago. I feel the need to mention what you might already know, which is that sacks count against rushing stats in CFB and ~4 ypc is actually pretty good for a P5 QB. There are only 8 P5 QBs this season with a higher average than Kelly's 3.5 from 2017, and two of them play in Georgia Tech's triple option offense. No argument here. I will point out, though, that he had 11 rushing touchdowns to go with those 13 TD passes and roughly 1,000 yards more from scrimmage. Overall, that's a vastly more effective QB than Stidham. 665 yards would've easily made him our 2nd-leading rusher this season. I'll throw out one more stat, related back to that threat to run. Clemson's top 2 RBs last season each only had 107 carries. Each averaged 6.3 ypc or more. They also had 3 WRs with 49 or more catches and 500 or more receiving yards. Who knows how much KB's threat to run opened up the rest of the offense? They still "only" finished 32nd in total offense- we finished 25th- but that is an offensive balance that Gus could only dream of. Are we intentionally going after Bryant instead of someone like Tate? I don't know. If that's your question, I'm with you. Otherwise, if Bryant is the best we can do, then we need to do it IMO. I've seen Willis make *terrible* decisions with the ball. Nix and Sandberg will be freshmen. Gatewood likely isn't destined to play QB at Auburn. It makes sense to go after a gamer for next year. Again, though, I'm not sure if Bryant is the best available. And I'm not saying he'll take us to the promised land. He might not even win the job. I just see the reasoning here. You make some valid points. I guess we were spoiled by Nick Marshall and Cam Newton getting 5-6+ ypc. I mean to be fair I'm probably being a little overly critical of his running ability because we've been spoiled by those guys. Either way I don't ever remember being impressed by his rushing highlights, he gets some decent gains at times but isnt a consistent threat to break a long TD run and certainly never looked all that fast. He only had 4 20yd+ runs last year. Im not saying he is bad. I just don't think he is a good choice for a one and done. I would rather develop one of our younger guys than have a one year band aid. If we could bring in a superstud for a one and done then that is a different story. For example if Khalil Tate were transferring and chose to come here Gus would be getting a new 7 year contract extension one year from now. That guy is like a Nick Marshall clone but better.

PigskinPat 2,579 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I’ve been saying for awhile now that if Khalil Tate decides to transfer that he’s the one that I’d like to get. He would be amazing in the zone read offense we knew and loved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
