AU fans have lost their minds because some thought CW was a real option even though the people that cover AU kept saying that is a huge long shot and we were getting Calzada. They have been saying it the last 3 days. Give the guy a chance. I said the same thing for TJ and that was a bust. So…We will try again with Cal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to seeing what he can do. Go get some more! Yes totally agree !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDob06 458 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 1 hour ago, Brad_ATX said: I actually agree. I'm fully expecting DD to transfer at this point, meaning the QB room would still be thin. DD is definitely a head scratcher, but he should stay until at least after spring to see where he ends up. There was the article about his Dad wanting him to redshirt, but then we could have seen him in the bowl game and didn't, which is puzzling. I'm going with Harsin promised TJ a chance to compete for QB1 when he transferred in and it seemed like he got that with Bo struggling and then hurt. If the plan for DD all along was to redshirt, well that was accomplished. Now, we need more QB depth and we are in a situation where there is not a QB1 named yet. Auburn should bring in at least one more and let the chips fall where they may after competition in the spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tightendoverthemiddle 102 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 We have seen what Calzada can do. We have seen what Finley can do. Would like to see what Davis can do. Geriner will be on campus soon. I would think that most would agree in today's game, QB mobility is a MUST. I just hope that now, we can bring in some Oline dudes as well as Wide Receivers.

Farmer Brown 2,464 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 CW was offered a 1 mil NIL to play for Eastern Michigan. Crazy. He's not coming to Auburn. Highest bidder will get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selias 2,398 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 1 hour ago, autiger88 said: I get not being thrilled I do. Also we have a QB whisper too who helped Bo improve this year even if we was just a little. Also we get to see how good Austin Davis really is with QBs. Jimbo Fisher has helped out more QBs then just Winston. Just because he has only won one championship doesn't mean he has had only one good QB. Took me a bit but I found something at least. Jimbo's starting FSU QBs: Crablegs EJ Manuel Christian Ponder Deondre Francois Sean Maguire James Blackmon Everett Golson Clint Trickett Maybe he was better with QBs as an OC or QB coach? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good lord, he is a kid trying to do his best. I for one like this QB I think he did pretty good at Texas A&M. Let's Relax and let him go through spring and summer before we give up on the season damn. 🤦Also this isn't the only one we are going after and probably won't be the last one we get. 🤷 Watch out. You'll be accused of giving the coaches the benefit of the doubt. Of victimizing and squashing fans' opinions. Definitely won't be accused of giving the player a fair shake. No siree.

WarEagleHunter1221 1,710 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 If he wants to be at Auburn then come to Auburn. Harsin has to bring in another QB to compete and let the best man win though. There were and are better options out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potatooooooes!! 1,400 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I’m happy just knowing we got one lol. (Sad I know). We’ll see what our coaches can do with him. Until they prove otherwise I’m going to trust that they know what they are doing. War Eagle and welcome to the Plains! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedaler 1,028 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 This is a good move as long as it’s for depth at the position . If it’s meant as more than that, I will not be able to expect more than 6 wins next year. I will root for more, but no way I can honestly expect it. If this is the QB roster going into the year, we may very well be looking at starting a true freshman again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMassie11 1,692 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 “Pro-style QB prospect with good height and frame length. Owns plenty of space to add bulk in college. Shows good touch on throws downfield. Can drop the ball on top of the receiver down the seam. Should become great on timing patterns because of touch and "catchable" ball. Not a true dual-threat, but a capable runner with mobility to keep defenses honest. Extends plays with legs and makes accurate throws on the run. Needs to get quicker in his release. Throws with somewhat of a whiplash, windup motion. Can add strength to frame to increase velocity and overall throw power. At times throws off back foot. Production has been pedestrian during junior and senior seasons. Possesses a promising physical ceiling and encouraging playmaking feel for the game to give him Power 5 starter potential.” Him coming out of HS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roe4christ 980 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 3 hours ago, Didba said: I just don't get takes like this, Calzoney is the prototypical QB for Harsin's system. If Harsin and Davis believe they can develop him to efficiently run this offense then it would be a huge upgrade over Nix who could only effectively run the offense about 50% of the time and TJ who could only run it 25% of the time. Your being mighty generous to TJ. 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
