TigerTale 357 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 He's got a point...if people are willing to criticize God in the flesh come down from heaven to save us from eternal damnation by willingly giving up his own life...then they will certainly criticize a college quarterback. He probably shouldn't have used that comparison though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperAUsome09 738 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 According to the recording of Jesus he was actually killed by those that criticized him. Equating that suffering to that of a game is.....yikes. Not a good statement in the so-called Bible belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured they'd kind of like it? But I agree with you that it's just a bad comparison to use. Like when Saban used 9/11 or someone will compare their suffering to Jews in Nazi Germany....just stay away from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaturdayGT 719 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Was it really a comparison though? I though it was more of how his situation pales in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeRocket 410 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Ok, so he threw three interceptions in a SEC game against South Carolina. Help me if I am wrong here, but in order to throw an interception, you first have to be in position to throw a pass. Being in a situation where you are allowed to throw a pass in organized, competitive football at any level is reserved for only a few. Being in a situation where you are allowed to throw a pass in organized, competitive football at a division one SEC school is even rarer. I wonder how many critics of Bo Nix have ever been in either of the aforementioned groups? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gowebb11 9,339 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 If a Bama QB says something similar next week, the press will gush and report it as an exemplary statement of purity, and a shining example of player development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddc 13,194 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 It just tells you how much he appreciates his Lord and Savior, not in any way a comparison of situations. I’ve been to a men’s conference to hear his dad and McElroy from bama and I know he raised Bo to be a Christian. He was in no way saying his situation compared.

cole256 17,084 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I don't think it's a comparison....a perfect response that will rally the fan base. And if you're 50 and up? Omg the love went up exponentially! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUght2win 6,855 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I will cut Bo some slack as I think his intention was to say people will criticize anyone, even God in the flesh, so he will be criticized too. However, I think it's a bit weird because it implies the criticism is unfair. Also says "nothing you can do about it". All this tells me he doesn't think he deserves the criticism he gets, and is surprised by it, which is disturbing. There IS something you can do about it, Bo. Play better.

Ya nailed the first paragraph, feel like you over-thought the rest.....at least based on what was posted. ...I didn't see the first question in the interview, so I may not know the context...in the OP, Nix opens up "As for the second question..."...He was obviously asked how he deals with criticism, so he had to answer....I just dont see the drama.

I don’t think it implies that at all. all he is saying is even someone that is perfect like Jesus was criticized by his followers. So bo being an imperfect expects to be criticized. Comes w the territory. to derive anything negative from his comment is stretching it to far to find criticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaker 2,457 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Bo is comfortable saying this because he is harder on himself than his critics and as a Christian, he knows others (sometimes harshly) judge him regardless. There really isn't much to it. I am proud of Bo for how he reps Auburn. If he played at bama or Clemson with their OL, he would not have nearly the picks or troubles or criticism. I think he is going to have a sensational year with two proven QB coaches focused on him. Actually, I am proud of the character of just about all our players - doesn't seem like we have any knuckleheads (to quote Pappoe). We all have a lot to proud of.

countoff 331 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Are we going to criticize Bo's views on his views about being criticized? Jeez...we really will criticize everything he does! Bo... I get your point. And it's a good one. Not only for college QBs. Seems like it's a good life lesson for all of us. Ok Now! You said it yourself! Put your head down and get to work!!!
