That being said I’m super excited. Both QB’s were waiting their whole lives for this moment so of course this is a sad situation for Joey but I am very excited to see what Bo does. Do you think there’s as much pressure on Bo going into this season as there was for say JJ in 2015? Or is that a different type of pressure? I think it’s different. Bo has a big advantage in his dad having done it and will be with him when things go wrong ( and they will sometimes) . That’s the hard part. I think that was one of JJs biggest problems. He had the talent no doubt. He had a very successful freshman year subbing against smaller teams. When he went full blow against big times I think he had a hard time accepting that he couldn’t do everything. Mental is a big part of QB and Pat will help Bo through those dark days. In fact he already has by instilling into him to concentrate on the next play not the last play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess gamesmanship matters again. I really don’t think Gus is going to do packages for either one. When either is in the game I think Gus is going to expect both be able to run what ever the situation dictates. JG is now the backup QB . The next guy of the bench if Bo goes down. He needs and will be a full package QB when he comes off the bench. JG isn’t a gimmick QB that can only run and handoff and Bo isn’t a one trick pony either he can run and throw. Bo earned the start but he is not like light years ahead of Joey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please forgive me for that and try to understand we can’t all be as intelligent as you. I just know how bad you were pulling for Joey... because you are... I mean you wanted Joey and not Bo because ... well you know... just never mind then. Again, just trying to help. Actually I wasn't pulling for either, you can say I was pulling for a guy who has been tested....but yah Joey is....You know and coincidentally well you just happened to be against the well....but no I'm fine as me personally luckily you're not anyone I have to answer too and it's not the 50's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of different aspects that I'm sure factored in and although I'm sure Bo's ability to throw the football was a part of the decision it likely went a lot deeper. How do these guys handle information? How quickly do they bounce back from mistakes? How receptive to coaching are they? How well do they understand the concepts behind the calls. Finally, how do they respond in certain situations? Do they know the down and distance? Are they aware of where they are on the field? Certain places you can't take a sack. Certain places you can't throw a ball away, and certain places you have to. I'm guessing they really turned the heat up on both of them over the last week or two, had them drinking out of a fire hydrant full of information, and then ran them through a lot of stress intensive situational ball. My guess is Bo handled all that better than Joey. Pure speculation on my part, I just think the race has been over simplified by some people to who can throw the ball better. Thank you for saying all this! I have been trying to articulate that I don't think Bo won on physical ability alone, but you did it way better than I could.

TeBoneAU 89 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Very intriguing that Gus is starting a true freshman at QB! I really thought JG would get the nod as the starter due to his bowl game experience...the improvements of devolpment that has been mention in threads and a year of going thru AU football program as a QB. Congrats to Bo Nix on winning the job. I can only imagine that the young man is really that good....however I really hope that Gus has a plan to keep JG engaged by playing him in every quarter of the game. The schedule is brutal and I will bet everything that I own that the backup QB is going to be needed at a crucial moment of any given game. What true defensive coordinator wouldn't throw the kitchen sink at a true freshman playing QB in the SEC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick.AU 13,281 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 We can also still implement JG to take pressure off Bo, why not also consider, if we’re not putting him at QB in a certain situation (I still think we should have him at QB sometimes), line him up at WR/big slot and let him do work against LB’s and S’s. JG has done this before, sell him on playing time and carving out a role and that he is always next man up at the QB spot. The NFL will see this and no better place to do it than AU.
