He doesn’t utilize his size and speed is what I am getting at…there are times he will run himself out of play, or there is a hole and he doesn’t accelerate through. Other times he is trying to juke instead of punish, yet there is times he try to go through three people when there is an alternative pathway. I’ve seen it far too often. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it’s just the way he runs , iono . I think Robby has all of the intangibles to be great, except for attitude, and that’s a big one.

I don’t think he has the arm accuracy to be great. He has the speed to be a great receiver, but he probably doesn’t have the route running or hands. He can probably be a good QB in SWAC, etc. Edited November 9, 2023 by AuCivilEng1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUght2win 6,883 Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Robbie is a wild horse. Super fast. Not very controlled. No sense of smoothness. Runs like people are chasing him (which, they are, but you know what I mean). I don’t think I’ve ever seen him juke anybody. He runs through arm tackles and DOES have elite speed and quickness. But outside of the context of QB I’m not sure he’s an elite athlete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went through that experience; fought his ass off vs Alabama and had high hopes for this season. I can see where he would be dejected and down. I’m not gonna beat up on him; he may not be handling things as maturely as he could, but he fights and plays hard when he’s out there. I hope for nothing but the best for him. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aucat 69 Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 If he's mature enough, he will be our Kodi Burns G#2 since he has a ton of skills running and receiving for TD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigger1985 818 Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 I would like to see him try receiver. I wonder if the change came from him not handling the ball off for a sure first down but deciding to keep it for a loss. He didn’t seem to give the ball up willingly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just said great because people over the last two years have been critical of me because I said that Robbie shouldn’t be our QB and I wanted to sound more sympathetic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't throw the ball, then you better be freaking Tim Tebow when it comes to attitude and leadership. RA is his own worst enemy. His lack of self-awareness is such a disappointment. If you have a positive attitude and demeanor, I think you can manage some things in life that take a lot of skill. When it comes to criticism, he could've handled it better like, "I'm working with coach and the staff to get better every day and fix those mistakes" instead of "they can sit behind a phone screen and type all they want....they couldn't do half of what I do" Best of luck to RA wherever he ends up. I hope he can find success. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, it's more of a former "QB2 held us up for ransom (NIL $$) w/mom worrying us to death and when QB2 didn't get his way he left the team temporarily", then QB2 decides to re-join the team and gets zero PT in the next game SO Holden gets the QB2 designation from here on out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburnatl1 5,253 Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 (edited) If someone can’t quickly read progressions or throw a consistent ball - they’re not a p5 qb. Minimum prerequisites of the position. If they also have huge arm strength, +6’3” height, and/or speed - those are differentiators that can get you to the nfl. AU with RA (and other qb’s in the past) has gotten enamored with differentiators and ignored the prerequisites.
