Stetson Bennett: The most clutch QB of the Playoff era?
I hope Stetson gets a chance to play in the NFL. He's good enough to be a 3rd string QB on a team with a good OL
There is nothing similar about the arm strength of Stetson & Kyler. You don't receive a $5 million bonus from MLB to play centerfield with a mediocre arm.
“screw you, I’m going to get mine”
Players emulating coaches.
QB advantage. Stetson Bennett IV or Bryce Young?
"Larger programs offer a better education, better facilities, better coaches, better television exposure, and at least an equal NIL opportunity."
More well known coaches, yes. Better coaches, NO. There is an ol' boys network in place @ Power 5 with a lot of mediocre coaches being recycled to different teams. The non connected need not apply.
Brock Vandagriff; #2 dual threat in country. Freshman stats @ UGA: eight plays with one pass. And Dematrius Davis @ Auburn.......
"It’s going to be interesting when schools start deciding to take scholarships away from kids who don’t perform up to “expectations'
Scholarships (contracts) currently have to be renewed each year.
Receivers: too many dropped balls.
Bo Nix: out of control scrambling, poor passing touch (bullets on screens, over wrong shoulder), etc. And overall, just poor situational awareness & decision making skills. He still resembles an incoming freshman instead of a mid season junior.
You were just beaten by a much better team & QB, Bo. Dropped passes. Poorly thrown passes; out of control scrambling, risking twenty plus yard sacks. Not waiting for plays to develop. Why not give Dematrius Davis & other receivers some playing time?
Auburn should consider giving Dematrius Davis a chance when Bo starts panicking & making boneheaded plays. He far more mobile than T.J. and could cause more problems for the Dawgs defense.
Bryce Young is an elite QB disquised as a game manager. So its easy to take his skill set for granted. He's far more elusive than Tua or Mac; and a better passer than Jalen. I just wish he would run more but he always seems to find an open receiver & opts to pass instead.
Bo definitely had passes dropped Saturday. But career wise at Auburn, there's not a large difference between dropped & poorly thrown passes.
Or freshman of the Year
Dropped passes.... fire the coach.
Poorly thrown passes.....coach's job secure.
Good 'ol boys SEC football.
Bo's 2nd half passing stats:10 of 22 for 86 yards.
Hopefully things work out for him. He was not treated fairly at Auburn.
Something is not quite right with Tebow. Hopefully its not CTE.
What I like about Saban is you have to earn the starting position & if you don't produce he will bench you, quickly And then there's Auburn & Bo Nix.....
I have concerns about Tebow. CTE related concerns!
Mac Jones had a DUI & was suspended for one game. No problem!
You are right, "he was signed not drafted." My point was he will have a chance to show his skills in practice & has a decent chance to be the 3rd string QB.
The Eagles drafted Newman as a unrestricted free agent. "Newman has a better-than-average shot with the Eagles, who only employ Jalen Hurts and Joe Flacco at the position, and certainly need a third QB. The team didn’t select a quarterback among its nine draft picks."
Elite QB's have a history of beating them.
Bama has been down this road before. Deshaun Watson. Trevor Lawrence. And now Justin Fields.
Some job insecurity is what Bo needs. If there is not a significant & consistent improvement, he should be benched.
Kirby smart doesn't miss Fields. Nor is he concerned about facing Trevor or Mac Jones in the playoffs. He's confident of winning the NC with the formidable Stetson Bennet
"We think he’s going to have a really good year.”
I kinda feel sorry for Bo. He's trying to meet elite level expectations with a mid tier skill set. Mediocre arm strength & accuracy. Mobile but doesn't use it to his advantage. Lacks leadership qualities as shown in his boneheaded "spike" Saturday. At times, he looks scared and lacks confidence. Elite level players skills are apparent even when they are on bad teams. I haven't seen seen ONE Trevor Lawrence or Justin Fields play where you saw "wow" from Bo.
