Gus is the only person in the SEC that wanted Nick at QB and then he built the best offense weāve ever had around him and now gets criticized for it. You folks are illogical to the point of being insane. I understand wanting Gus gone as I too now believe it is better for AU to go in a different direction. But that doesnāt mean you should not give the man credit where credit is due. Nick Marshall is electric and Gus put him in the best possible position to succeed and succeed at AU he did.Ā No Nick didn't get alot better as a passer from one year to the next and it's absolutely pathetic that you try to go with anybody else opinion isn't validbecause they don't want Gus but yours is because you don't. Between the two of us you are the only person that has been inaccurate but you want to pretend that you are coming from a higher plane as far as ideas. That's idiotic. As far as the passer stuff like I said when Nick came out other teams could already be set at QB and that's why they may not offer especially since he's a Jr so really repeating that over and over as if it's some super highlighted point is pathetic as far as a debate go. It's as stupid as you saying he could train with who he wants when leaves AU. Just dumb all around to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still out talent Arky & Ole Miss comfortably so those aren't definite losses. On A&M they lose at lot of talent including their QB, not a definite loss either. I hear what youre saying- i think franklin is a better coach than Gus though and can turn this one bad season into something better next year. I also think Jimbo will have A&M ready next year despite losing Mond. Both of thise games being away is what sealed it for me.Ā Ā Arky is improving and I think theyll be out for blood next year.Ā I think Lane will have Ole Miss ready to go. Advantage for us is that one isĀ at home. Neverless I think the x-factor in all of this is Apathy. How much does the team sense that Gus is going to get fired after a loss? What happens after the Georgia game? What happens if we do lose to Penn State and Georgia early- does it fall apart? My guess is yes. Might sneak in some late wins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next toxic debates will be when/if we fire Gus and everyone hates each others candidate choices. Then we can all be passive aggressive if the candidate someone else wanted didn't pan out.
