Just don't see the arm strength on him This sounds like his best attribute is his legs and not his arm. If this is accurate I have my doubts he ever starts under Harsin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know. I'm not paid $5 million/ year to decide what the best thing to do is. You were just defending the playcalling by saying that TJ was doing it in practice, and I was responding to that. Right or wrong, it obviously didn't work and Auburn has now lost 5 games in a row and has our first losing season in 9 years. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And roughly 1/4 of Tank's total came on one play. 20 minutes ago, EagleEye67 said: Not from me. If DD aint got it, Im the first to say so. But I firmly believe that many good/great QBs shine in games when they do not in practice. Only way to know is to put them on the field. .......preferably in meaningless bowl games. I mean, cmon.....this isnt like changing QBs from Hurts to Tua in a game that counts, right? Maybe that's why Finley had the whole game. Cause it's a "meaningless bowl game" and we need to find out what we have for next year? Just thinking out loud. Harsin will make it or not, but I expected 2 really tough years. This one was close to being pretty good, but I'm afraid the usual suspects will have a field day next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPTiger 5,494 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 So many opportunities missed today. The fumble in the first half at the 40 that we had our hands on and didn't get it. Their first touchdown pass where Jocco Willis was untouched to the QB and missed the tackle. The interception that we return to the 24, and Smoke gets the PI. The first half pass to Kobe where he was open for a TD and Finley misses. The other TD pass to Kobe where Finley throws him out of bounds. The simple throw to 6 (that he had to stop and snatch off the turf) was a TD with a decent throw. Both of the deep balls after Chandler's int were open and Finley doesn't come close on either. it is hard to win when your QB can't consistently throw the ball to open receivers. I don't think next year's QB1 is currently on the team. It will either be Holden or a transfer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slyinsocal 831 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Win? Play calls were GOOD! Lose? Play calls were BAD! Practice? Who cares about practice?

Mustprotect 24 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 They better make o-line a priority quick because that's where the game starts and we are terrible there and on the plays that they actually block the QBs have shown they are just as bad. If Davis couldn't get on the field in these last two games when will he ever be able to do so. I'm tired of watching bad QB play year after year after year.
