I just think that is the best situation for him to excel. Gets to learn from the greatest QB in the game (sorry @GwillMac6 ) for a few more years and think he fits nicely into that setup. Much rather them than the Bengals or anyone with a young QB already. Green Bay please and behind the Great Aaron Rodgers!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is none. No other stars besides Cam and Dee. Stars in the NFL is what grabs recruits attention. MAYBE Kerryon hopefully will be the next guy. Who are the stars that impress you and where did they come from? Recruiting tools? Maybe I'm out of touch but just don't see that as a factor....maybe the coach who helped get him there but if you look around, position coaches do the development work, not the HC and those guys move all the time so when it comes down to it....the player's talent, skill and work ethics is what it takes. . Making the NFL is likely the goal...and what happens after the guy gets there is on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auburn has plenty to offer and it is up to each student athlete to take advantage of it as the try to reach their dream job. In all honesty we all had similar dreams to be a pro athlete at one time, but our abilities, size, etc. ended those dreams before the college opportunity was an option. Mine ended in 7th grade, lol Sometimes it's good to find out the truth early enough that you can enact Plan B and be successful with it. My baseball dreams ended about grade 9 or 10 when I hit a non-growth slump and realized that I did not have much chance as a chubby 5'-6" catcher. I hung in there til the end of HS....grew a bit more, and kept at it just because I loved the game but I had no illusions about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLEARLY it does not with how even with a very RB friendly system we struggle to get the elite premiere backs in crutin. And when we do get a 5 star recently? Jovon Robinson and Roc Thomas happens. All they see is none recently went on to become studs in the NFL. They see Todd Gurley tearing the NFL up and Nick Chubb and Sony Michel having very strong rookie seasons. They see Leonard Fournette being a pro bowler as a rookie a season ago. They see Derrick Henry having a monster season for the titans last year. WHERE YOU AT AU?!?! Perception is reality in crutin.

JMO but those are all 5* players and could be in the NFL tearing it up if they had gone to Vandy. Funny that we have guys playing in the NFL and drawing an NFL check who were barely 4* and not recruited by the bamas of the world. I respect what those guys have accomplished and what they probably learned at AU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Us and Vandy are the only ones without a first round pick in the last 5 drafts. We have top 10 classes every year almost. There is no excuse for this kind of showing year in year out. OHHHH REALLY?!?! Then why did our 5 star RBs not tear it up? Even Dyer who was a 5 star and good at AU barely sniffed the nfl as a practice squad player for awhile.

When has the worked for any of them besides Jimmy G who got a awesome contract when he was traded to the niners? Brady does not care about mentoring some young kid. He is focused on winning and the season at task as he should hahahah. This one would be different. He knows Jarrett is as smart as he was in picking a winner for a wife. He would have Jarrett over to his house often for film study to learn football and parenting tips while Giselle and Kenzie become buds. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not blaming Dyer on AU.are you? That's a real reach. He was good here until the started messing with drugs. and starting transferring around looking for a place he could play. Surprised he made it to the NFL. Considering the guys who made to NFL from AU who were under-rated, it would seem the development work was pretty good for Tate, CAP and a handful of others.

Tate and CAP are backups and did not and have not done anything of consequence in the NFL. I want to have Auburn churn out more stars! Just making a roster and being on the sidelines is nothing to beat our chest about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree with that......on the other hand...teams with lots of NFL players like USC, Florida, Miami have been through some mediocre seasons....seems the objective for a college is to win games, not just be an NFL minor league. ..but granted in the past several years our NFL input has been less than in previous years. Hoping we have a bunch after 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The college years are growth years for individuals and what they do during those years will shape their future. To get the elite player, the school has to show them a way to reach their goal and past practices is a very good motivator to feed the elite player’s ego and perception. It would be nice to show prospective athletes a history of players that made it in the NFL in recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GwillMac6 20,684 Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 I am way more excited for him to go learn under THE HOODIE WHO IS THE GOAT and Josh McDaniels than brady. Because those are the 2 who have a vested interest in him. Belichick is a defensive coach but how he has a different game plan EVERY SINGLE GAME. He has no system. He is not married to any scheme. He just adjusts to who he is playing against and attacks that teams weakness. A NOVEL concept I know hahahaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if anything, he will learn to be cerebral like Tom. JS was an assassin at Baylor though. Pumped for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad_ATX 13,654 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 It's the absolute perfect spot for Stidham. Spread concept offense that loves quick hit plays, but will take shots deep. Gets to learn for at least a year or two with no expectations. He'll thrive there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
