Do you really want to depend on a guy that is last in the SEC and has never been accurate in HS or college ? Here: https://www.espn.com/college-football/qbr/_/group/8 He was also hurt as well with multiple injuries Which is the same argument some are using for Sanders regression. How can it be used for one person and not the other. We also know the situation with the coaching and oline. I am not saying Robby is Tom Brady but at least acknowledge he played the majority of the season hurt. That has to affect him. Can he not improve with a better situation. Also we don’t know what Holden may do.. I am all for competition but for me Sanders is a marginal upgrade. Dude threw 4 Int’s in one game. Like I said earlier it’s just my opinion but that’s why CHF makes the big bucks. Whatever he decides I am rolling with it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the big 12 for reference if you want to compare sanders https://www.espn.com/college-football/qbr/_/group/4 I like RA. Having watched him at Hoover and followed him at Oregon, the guy has heart and athletic ability but he has never ever been accurate. He would be unreal in a wing t or triple option. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said it’s convenient to argue Sanders 17td 9 int and 57% completion to say it was his injury. It has been confirmed that Robby was injured since the Missouri game and finished the year playing through multiple injuries but it doesn’t matter because he wasn’t accurate in the past. Robby is raw but there is no way Sanders played under the same conditions at OSU. His high turnover rate tells me his decision making is bad and with Auburn schedule that’s the last thing u need.

RA has been wildly inaccurate going back to HS. He can improve, but expecting a jump from league worse 49% to 65% is probably not realistic. Being low 50% vs low 60% is not "marginal upgrade" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuscAUse! 1,677 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Sorry to interrupt, but I was checking in to see if AU has had any contact with or has targeted any QBs in the portal. Any info out there on these things or rumors of other QBs entering the portal? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aujohnson 336 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 (edited) So the speculation of Sanders possibly leaning to Ole Miss …how does that make sense for Sanders? Wouldnt it be a high probability that Jaxson Dart is going to be tough to unseat as the starting quarterback? Assuming we are pushing to get him doesn’t the path to playing time seem much easier at Auburn.? Im sure I am missing something, just a late night thought.

The last two staffs have burnt me with this type, but I am cautiously optimistic we are working on a NIL deal to get someone we desire more. The unfortunate fact is we have not had the ability to get WRs either without a QB here. It is definitely a push and pull. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per other AU posters elsewhere it's a wannabe account that rarely has its own info and mainly piggy backs of real reports. I have no clue. I just saw 1 guy get lambasted for posting that tweet by a number of people and that was the reason for lambasting him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
