Calzada might be a little more inaccurate than Bo, less shifty, but he can push the ball down field better than Bo. So I'd hope we could have somewhat similar results. Our schedule is kind of ugly with two stretches of LSU/@UGA/@Ole Miss then Ark/@State/Aggies. Hopefully we can manage an 8-4 type season with a slightly improved Calzada. Harsin/Austin Davis will need to work some magic to get us a lot high, IMO. 8-4 next year would be an acceptable bridge to something more solid for years afterward. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had Calzada this year we likely finish 9-3. I could even see us winning the PSU game with Calzada so possibly 10-2. IF's and Buts though, ya know.

I keep hearing people say a " Harsin style QB". I haven't researched what that means.. Is he more open to dual threat than Bobo? What kinda QB did he have at Boise.?Seems like we have the extreme skill set in QB room from Finley ( pocket passer) to DD (true dual threat) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But abilities that lean towards a throw first run if necessary style seem to be preferred. I don’t think Harsin would have recruited DD to the team given what we have seen so far. But that that “Harsin style “ might be more fluid given the state of our Olive. All speculation of course 🤷♀️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone would prefer a mobile guy if he has all the other qualities, but all the other qualities- accuracy, decision making, etc- are probably more important to Harsin under normal circumstances. I think Geriner probably fits his mold, but like you said, maybe not this season. Rookie QB is going to need more help than Bo got from the run game last year. Bo needed more help than he got, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm still just not that excited. Maybe it's the stench of "But, he beat Bama" (because we all know that's a justifiable reason for not cutting your losses) that blinds me to his potential. What we need is better-than-Bo-Nix production next year or we will be hurt'n. I don't know if Zach Calzada (or TJ Finley) can do that, especially without significant improvement in our O-Line. I think folks gonna be shocked when DD is the starting QB.. Guy was too good against top level competition in HS to just ride the pine.

Even with Bo and TJ hurt for the Bama game DD was not ever really an option. But new OC and QB coach so he gets a new opportunity to try and make an impression.

Why don't u enlighten me You think a guy who Harsin didn't recruit or sign, who spent virtually the entire season behind Grant Loy on the depth chart, and couldn't get even 1 snap even in the Bowl game, is going to start over a hand-picked experienced starter (Calzada) who Harsin specifically targeted and recruited?

I'm not gonna be disappointed either way. Best man plays. Plus new off coord could make the light turn on for DD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If DD were a factor, we would have been done recruiting QBs after Calzada's commitment, or possibly looked at another HS recruit. I, like many, was excited about his signing. Unless something changes and he just blows the competition out of the water, it is unlikely that he is still an Auburn Tiger come this fall.
