It's all going to come down to how much he's improved. He's not going to be perfect, we can't let perfect be the enemy of good in our criticism of him. He has a decade or more of playing QB and as McElroy pointed out using his athleticism vs proper pocket awareness. Can that go from 100% bad to 50/50? Can he improve from being WOAT on the road to being OK? Can he make plays down field at a better rate? Seems like there has been some good Bo and some Bad Bo in all these reports. In two weeks we'll see how much of each one we get. We can not have Bo be the same passer and QB he's been the last two years. He has to be better or he'll get replaced. Hopefully we have a back up QB that can be better i think bo was hurt without spring practice last year. i am all for letting the best option play but do you really want finley after we destroyed him last year in the lsu game? finley is spotty as well. both can grow out of it. i have high hopes for dd and i think he will be great with some seasoning and coaching.

Finley is Bo with more zip on his passes but way less escapability. If we had a stout OL I think the competition would be closer.

It is starting to seem like some are actively pulling for Bo to fail. Criticism is one thing, but when someone posts constant negative things it seems more like an agenda than criticism. It is disrespectful and an embarrassment. Bo is an Auburn Man. More so than most of us. Criticism is fine, but he does not deserve the spitefully tainted criticism I have seen on this and other boards.

AlaskanFAN 1,666 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 The only thing I ask for this years football season is to not get blown out in any game. Either we have a heck of a defense and they will keep us in games or our offense is really really bad and it is fabricating hype about out D. Guess we find out both answers Sept. 18th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Gus picked him over Gatewood and he was Gus's guy, the association is subconsciously there. Couple that with the fact he was supposed to be better (as a five star and a legacy) and all of that debacle around how not benching him or trying "something else" was handled. He hasn't really been any worse than Sean White. Edit to add: which is not saying that that is an appropriate ceiling.

Bo drove us down the field throwing darts. Robertson, Robertson, shed jackson, capers all made nice catches in that order. It was heroic. Made the hair on my neck stand up. Personnel let him down as he faced a heavy rush as we got closer to end zone + base offense. He drove us down on another clutch period series and stepped up into the pocket nicely. Never seen him step up like that. O Line has a lot of work still. But thought Bo looked good against 1s and 2s. Gave me hope. This is what drove me crazy last year. It's clear Bo excels when he doesn't have to think and can just go out and react and ball. Takes the mental clock out of it. That's been my sincere hope for this year and better drilling and training - that when he gets into those situations (or situation-adjacent) the training takes over and the fundamentals don't break down. Street ball is all well and good, but there's a reason that (for instance) Matt Ryan is so good at a 2 minute offense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnacle 9,064 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Who cares if anyone hates Bo. He's QB1. Also, all this scrimmage "Intel" needs to be taken with a huge grain of salt. Bo will start against Akron. That's almost a certainty. I'm saving my criticism for what I actually see on the field. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oregon was a great team and Bo led us to a come from behind victory. i still think he has tons of potential if he gets the right coaching. if he does not i will always feel maybe we let him down somehow. I was on the sidelines at that game. We really won that game in spite of Bo. If anybody led us that game it was Seth Williams, of course he'll never get that type of credit. But Bo did make 2 vital plays that were amazing. Still to this day I feel like the best throw he ever made was during this game. And that's your opinion and you're certainly entitled to it, but there are many players that have shown potential, Bo isn't special, he's had every form of entitlement so far but, he can't underperform and every situation other players are thrown under the bus. And if that can be said of him then EVERY player should get the latitude. If people failed Bo while giving him every advantage and opportunity then players like Willis and gatewood and Johnson and white were beyond failed. And we would also be letting down players such as our wr's to just blame them without cause because Bo could one day, potentially be good 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
