aublaise 199 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 This move makes no sense for Joey. Everyone knows that Gus has no use for a tight end. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Gus wouldn't let him on the field ? This is a head scratcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnacle 9,064 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Shows a lot of trust in Gus, and I hope he's right to trust him. Really hope this works out for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jAUSon 2,836 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 So stupid ^ I'm taking side-bets that it aint even true. Joey? He snatched your shirt man. Anyway. If Joey shows up on Gus's bench again it tells me everything I'll ever need to know about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravejd 3,270 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Ya know this move almost makes me believe that Gus was told he had to start Bo. I mean either way a head scratching move for Gatewood here. If he wants to play QB he would have been smart to drop down a division. Good luck to him at UCF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WDE_OxPx_2010 5,308 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 So- currently have followed Gus to UCF: Big Kat Bryant Nate Craig-Meyers Joey Gatewood Mark Antony-Richards Marco Domio Wow. That's a list of misused athletes if I've ever seen one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a list of misused athletes if I've ever seen one. Not sure if the guys on defense have ever been said to have been misused. The guys on offense, for sure. Whether or not any of it has been accurate will likely never be known. Many will feel that each player's experiences after leaving Auburn are all the evidence needed to say that they just weren't ever meant to have impactful football careers at this level or beyond, but it's equally possible in my mind that not getting sound development and reasonable opportunities to make plays early in their careers sent them on a trajectory from which not many athletes would be able to recover. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAG 34,003 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I can see Gus definitely using JG at UCF for QB. Whether he makes a MW leap is the question . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably hard to argue that all 3 of them were good football players that he broke. And muddying the waters is the fact that Gus showed poor judgment in so many other areas of running an offense. Probably led to some faulty assumptions and erroneous if>then statements. I'm implicating myself here as much as anyone. But I do think that at least one or two of these guys could've flourished under the right circumstances. Oh well. I wish the players and coach all the best.

On the surface Gatewood seems like a great fit for the Malzahn offense. Its the history that these 2 have that makes the decision so odd. And its kind of odd both ways.....he left AU middle of the season after losing the job right? So its not just odd to me that Gatewood would choose Gus but also that Gus would choose Gatewood. I guess i'll just add it to the list of things that Gus has done that blows my mind. 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's even remotely true, then it would stand to reason that Joey could still be better than any other option that Gus has at UCF. Or that he at least provides quality depth to the QB room. At this point I'm just really hoping he pulls a Trey Burton down there. But I don't think Gus has those arrows in his quiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W.E.D 11,070 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I'm not sure how much time Gatewood has left, maybe 3 years? UCF has their QB pretty much locked in for the next 2. So he's got time to sit and learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've got a Jr QB that has thrown for 3500 yds each of his Freshman and Soph Seasons. Gatewood isn't better than Dillon Gabriel, who will be their starting QB this year and next. 63/11 TD to INT ratio Edited August 20, 2021 by W.E.D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
