Marshall was better when he left AU than he was when he got here. Stidham was better in his first year than he had been before. He could have been better still his second year had he not played the entire season with priority #1 being to avoid injury so his draft chances wouldn't be hurt. Nix got better in year 2. There was no decade long history of terrible QB development. Stidham was also dealing with poor OL development…a theme throughout Gus’ tenure. He was the original “hike it and run for your life” that Nix and Ashford have perfected. Edited October 18, 2022 by AUDevil 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no decade long history of terrible QB development. Good grief man, this is some "we have always been at war with Eastasia" level revisionist history. Here are the facts: 1. His freshman year at Baylor, Jarrett Stidham's completion percentage, yards per attempt, and passer rating were all significantly better than either of his two seasons at Auburn. He also threw only six fewer TDs despite only starting two full games and mostly appearing in mop-up duty. 2. Bo Nix threw for fewer yards, fewer TDs, more interceptions, and his passer rating went DOWN in year 2. 3. In 11 seasons as Auburn's HC/OC, Gus Malzahn-coached QBs finished in the bottom half of the SEC in passing yards 6 times, TD passes 7 times, and passer rating 5 times. Only twice did any of his QBs finish in the top 3 in any of those categories. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was very run oriented. 13 hours ago, bigbird said: Moseley Frasier Woody White Johnson Queen JF3 Willis Gatewood Garrett Stidham Nix Yeah, WE have the problem... Stidham, Willis and Nix are doing quite well after leaving Auburn but Stidham and Nix did well at Auburn as well. Willis has told us exactly why he failed at Auburn. The rest of your list wasn't expected to do much and they didn't, either at AU or any other place. I suppose some had high hopes for Frazier but anybody who looked at the level of high school ball he played had serious reservations. So basically, your list of afterthoughts turned out to be afterthoughts, except for White who turned himself into an afterthought.

bigbird 60,939 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 You defending the two worst positions under Gus is priceless. I thought your depth argument was dumb, but trying to defend his QB talent evaluation and development is down right stupid. You're troll game is on point with your takes 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Gus had seriously invested in QB development and brought in OC's to help evolve the offense, those 4 could have done incredible things. Maybe JF3 too now that I think about it. I know some overlap, but you get my point. Edited October 19, 2022 by woodford 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a bumper sticker I saw on an old car: "I might be slow but I'm ahead of you". Gus was far from perfect but he's way ahead of your man Harsin.
