He’s been my #1 qb target for awhile now. He’s got all the physical tools, great ball placement, can make all the throws, stays calm under pressure and can escape pressure, and a very fast release on the ball.

KnoxAubie 15 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Bump. I'm really, really hoping for a home run QB transfer or 2 to appear after bowl season. I was really excited to land TJ last spring, but at 0-3 as a starter-he just doesn't seem to be the answer. The meltdown threads are white hit in the football forum discussing why DD isn't getting a shot. So, it seems like he isn't the answer for coach Harsin either. The freshman Geriner needs some time to acclimate to the SeC, unless he is really special. Fingers and toes crossed we catch a break here. It should be a wide open QB1 at Auburn for anyone interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But serious question- do you think we have our 22 starter on campus already? Even with a some miracle OL transfers-I'm not sold on Finley and CBH clearly isn't sold on DD.

Reference: Jarrett Stidham Well we did made it to the SEC championship and beat 2 #1 teams with him. I agree with the overall premise though- the OL is really in rough shape. But watching TJ makes it just as important as the OL IMO. He is not the answer. we need So Much help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

au302 2,669 Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 It doesn't take an expert to see the OL is bad. Been that way since 2018 when the last of the old guard left. Hence Stidham's regression from '17 to '18. Regardless, the QB's have missed throws when they have had time, including every frickin deep ball. Hold the line gents. I'm hoping Harsin has someone lined up who is waiting for bowl season to end 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also makes me wonder that in the meeting between Harsin and Bo (including Pat) that Harsin didn't put on his recruiting hat and "recruit" Bo to stay. Unless Harsin really has some great QB that is going to transfer after the bowl games, we are going to be in seriously bad shape at QB next year and that will fall squarely on Harsin.

au302 2,669 Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Unless we're putting all of our eggs in the Cameron Ward sweepstakes, I buy the folks saying it will be a guy still in the bowl game. But there's only so many bowl games left, so the list can't be long of potential guys. I'm thinking that if BV doesn't leave, Carson Beck will. They're bound to have attrition there. Makes the most sense since they're pro-style and would fit well with Harsin. At least I'm hoping 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes the most sense since they're pro-style and would fit well with Harsin. At least I'm hoping I see this as our best chance to get a pro style QB, with any type of college experience, and is close to home, and they will like Harsin's play calling in protecting the QB w/ TEs and RB passing options. The problem I see, is that any TP QB will not look favorable, if he looks at our OL to support him at being a successful QB. Somehow Harsin has to sell any transfer QB on 'potential' OL support, and that's a big IF.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This assumes there's another program out there that 1) is a better situation and 2) wants them.

No one outside the individuals directly involved knows what may have transpired in any Bo Nix discussions. Only a personal feeling, but I think that Bo may have been unsatisfied with the team's season and then his injury just made things worse in his mind.
