BARNER 3 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 We have an anticipated Trotter, an experienced Burns and two good recruits coming in. That's a lot of QB on scholly if you include Caudle as well as Todd right? Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/56154-chris-todds-future/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

AURainman 6 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Well, he's only got one more year, so does it really matter what we speculate? I'd say he and the other 5 QBs will get a fresh start. If he wins the job, he'll play. If not, he'll ride the pine until he gets his college degree. For the 2010 season, we'll have this (potentially). SR Kodi Burns SO Barrett Trotter SR Neil Caudle RFr Tyrik Rollison RFr Clint Moseley FR Robert Cooper Chris Todd can only hope for some success this year. There's no future on which to speculate.

PChamp119 96 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 We have too many QB's on scholarship. I thought I read or heard that Robert Cooper was going to change positions. I could only hope so. Moseley = Caudle. Neither will play a meaningful snap. I still don't see Trotter getting on the field either. But we'll see how that goes. I really have no clue - just predictions. Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/56154-chris-todds-future/#findComment-580283 Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUman43 5 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 You can never tell about these things. First of all, Kodi hasn't emerged yet as a seasoned,calm, poised QB. Secondly, Todd did a respectable job of running the offense although his shoulder limited what he used to be able to do. Yes, he relatively slow on foot, but never underestimate how valuable he could be IF he overcomes his surgery, stays healthy, and if (God forbid) Kodi were to go down. Yes, Caudle could play, but my gut tells me they would go with Todd and you certainly can't expect Trotter or either Rollison to come in a lead the team with the exerience they have, or lack of it.

TitanTiger 22,260 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Robert Cooper is going to be playing defense. My bet is that Todd will either transfer to a D-1AA (still can't get into this FBS/FCS stuff) school within a few weeks, or he'll go through spring to see if he can win the starting job and transfer if he doesn't. My prediction is, don't be surprised if Caudle or Trotter wins the job. Kodi's mechanics and accuracy are going to have to improve a lot for him to win it. I don't see Rollison (if he qualifies) or Moseley coming in as true freshmen and beating those three out.

I don't see Rollison (if he qualifies) or Moseley coming in as true freshmen and beating those three out. i dont see Todd transferring at this point in his career. he knows he's got no shot at the NFL, so he'll finish up his degree at a respectable university. He's the best QB we have at this point as far as potential. His injuries have limited him tremendously. If he stays healthy, I think he can and will win the starting job for us in the fall. There's not a QB on our roster that would've matched Graham Harrell toe-to-toe just two years ago. I say Todd stays and is our qb in 2009 IF he's healthy. If the shoulder doesn't hold, however, then who knows? Although, I expect Trotter to make some big strides over the spring, so we'll see.

Tigermike 4,286 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Since there are new coaches: this spring all of the QB’s will have a fresh start. I’m hoping there is a real attempt to see what each has to offer the team, which can give this team the best chance to win. For some reason I’m thinking this staff will start spring drills with no preconceived ideas of who should or should not be the starter.

That scenario sounds good except I don't think Todd's shoulder is going to be able to pull it off. I agree that Todd at full strength is probably the best bet. I'm just not convinced he'll be ready. I hate it for the guy but I just don't see him recovering enough arm strength to do it. Another difference in Malzahn's offense from Franklin is that he likes to take shots downfield a lot more. That's going to require some arm strength Todd simply doesn't have and I'm not convinced he'll get back.

aucanucktiger 2,016 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 We've had some very good QBs not beat out other guys @ AU. Remember our 3d stringer in the '80s that transferred to TCU or some other TX school and promptly threw a (then Div. 1) NCAA record yds in a game? What was his name?

IndyTiger 3 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 He's in my Intermdiate Accounting class and last week was the first time I saw him without a sling so he seems to be getting better. I can ask him about his thoughts on staying or not. I usually sit next to him and from talking to him he seems like he is going to stay and at least try out for the spot in the spring. I think he would like to graduate from Auburn. Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/56154-chris-todds-future/#findComment-580373 Share on other sites More sharing options...

He mentioned all the weight lifting started at young ages, and the amount required to get/stay strong in college. kids really are starting to lift weights way too early,imo. i dont see the need for a 6th and 7th grade kid to be able to bench press 200 lbs. I didn't start lifting seriously until the 10th grade and by the time I was a senior i could bench press more than our entire football team who started in the 7th grade, minus the linemen and our 2 RBs. I'd stress conditioning over anything at the younger ages, but for some reason coaches and parents have these kids plugging away in the weight room at 12 years or even younger. I just dont see how it gets you any further ahead, but maybe thats just me.

AUdothan 1 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Burns and Trotter can both throw the ball deep. Since Burns has no accuracy or the ability to read more than 2 receivers in the pocket I'd say it's Trotter. You would think Caudle could play considering he was ranked in the top 10 in the country his Sr. year in high school. The problem is we just don't know. It's all pointless if our OL doesn't block any better. Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/56154-chris-todds-future/#findComment-580446 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just dont see how it gets you any further ahead, but maybe thats just me. It is the lack of knowledge at that level to train the kids to workout properly. If proper/strict form is used injuries don't happen aside from genetics. You can belabor the point on strength but genetics plays a part here as well. Strength and Conditioning at any age is important and lifting in 6,7,8th grades should be ok but egos get in the way and kids want to bench a house. I would use strict form less weight and reps and you would get better results as long as your intensity was there. This would in turn stave off injury again genetics and stupidity aside Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/56154-chris-todds-future/#findComment-580502 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigertronics 0 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I've heard that Trotter is a real sharp guy and a leader on the field. He may not be a super athlete but he gets the job done. I rememebr that Randy Campbell was like that. He wasn't a NFL type but he was efficient , a leader, and made very few mistakes. Trotter has a lot of expeience running a spread type of O. It will be a very interesting spring and A-Day. May the best QB win out.
