Competition is competition the grind is the grind. No helmets or high tech domes, some challenges and conflicts are the same generation to generation (except to the literalists).

And on the short crossing patterns and slants he threw fast balls that were too high and hard for receivers to handle,.. I'm at a you gotta show me you've fixed those 2 problems before I can be all in or get excited about Finley..... Okay bud.

However, October will be very telling. That part of the schedule will absolutely show what we actually have at QB. 2nd that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No question that it helps but many of our opinions and beliefs are formed from outside sources. And often it’s the case that this all we have to lean on to form these opinions. Point being made…discrediting a individuals perspective on the argument of the absence of first hand observed experience lacks intellectual integrity.

Idk he'd been pushing Calzada hard, then had to say he was 3rd and locked the original thread. He was bad for a few days, then all of a sudden he's not as bad as he's been saying.

I'd have to imagine the team knows when they see TJ taking 90% of the 1st team snaps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, October will be very telling. That part of the schedule will absolutely show what we actually have at QB. This is the correct answer. I don’t really care what they look like now (unless they’re dreadful in practice/scrimmage). We will find out in a few weeks. The first two games are try outs for the PSU game imo. If you can’t make the throws, read the defense, make your progressions, make plays, etc against Mercer or SJSU then there’s really no reason to think you can do it against PSU. I cannot buy stock in any of them until they make plays in 2022. I hope Finley has improved. Would be a great story, but I just don’t know how much better he can be. Hope I’m wrong. I started drinking the kool aid like I do every year after being very pessimistic all off season and I’m starting to back off my optimism. I just need to see what they can do on the field. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s see who looks best when the real action starts. Whoever it is just needs to be the best the day PSU shows up and that’s another month away. A lot can happen between now and then. I really think coaches will have their starter by this weekend. Then start on Monday giving him all reps with 1st team, put the game plan in place and let him know he's the man and it's his position to lose. Then IF we get up handily on Mercer/SanJoseSt give the #2/#3 QBs some PT late in games. I just feel like QB #1 needs to get a ton of reps with the 1's to get timing down, routes ironed out and get the oline in sync. Of course the coaches may stretch this thing out till PSU game and see where we are then? IDK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aubaseball 2,860 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 This is just my opinion and only going off what I read in articles. But it sounds like Auburn doesn’t have a true #1 and if someone doesn’t step up it’s going to be a long year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
