I suspect we see both....but I can't tell how it plays out until we see a few games. I felt that Joey would be the starter the whole way because of his size and having been in the program a little longer but I have to "hope" that Bo is as good as I've seen him (small sample size). Not having a lot of experience for both made this one hard to "guess." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know nobody was really opposed to talking about how to use the QBs. The board just got caught up in other stupid squabbles. Myself included.

kennypowers 1,431 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Andy Burcham couldn't have asked for a better situation. How many "Touchdown Bo" or "Touchdown Nix" calls will he make this year that bring back such a flood of memories for everyone listening? I can't wait for the excitement and nostalgia to really hit when that first call is made. I just wish Rod could have been around for it. 😪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McLoofus 35,182 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Forest/trees. To me, the single least important fact about Auburn football this season is whether or not Bo is a tenth of a second faster than anybody else on the team. What actually is relevant to me is that he is more than athletic enough to cause problems for the defenses he faces. You don't need a stopwatch to know that but it's pretty great that we're even having this conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger 8,825 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 He looks like he gets to a respectable speed quick in the limited clips I've seen of him. If he can Manziel his way in and around the pocket to buy time to find a a receiver that will be a big time boost for the O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to see him navigate the pocket with confidence and not let his eyes drop, especially when there is no pressure. Stidham's pocket presence was his biggest shortcoming. His eyes dropped quickly and he bailed often when he did not have to. Hopefully he is able to improve on that in the NFL, but it is really hard to teach.

It wasn't even close. "Mobility" is about so much more than metrics. The fact that Bo's are even close to the other guys is cause for celebration. If he can actually put those to use? We might enjoy football season again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, I'm hopeful that working with both Nix and Joey has helped the WRs to better develop in their scramble drills to get open on broken plays. It just seems to me that separation in those situations has been a sore spot for quite awhile now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch Bo's film......he is very good at extending plays not to run but to throw the ball down field and that's one of the reasons he was not sacked in his senior year in high school. he keeps his eyes down field and not on the rush..... I don't think a lot of people don't realize how good he is and how long he's been playing QB. so here's a quick story for you.......When he was in the 8th grade, the starting QB for the high school team got hurt in a playoff game......So Bo was the next man up.....he goes into a high school playoff game and throws 5 TD's in the game......they lost the game but the team that beat them won state that year..... so just think about that a 13 year old kid comes into a high school playoff game and throws 5 TD's the kid has got talent and he knows what to do with it.

Don't take my comment as a reflection on Bo, but I always want to see it at this level before I say it is a sure thing. If anyone has been properly prepared it is Bo.
