Gus' offense doesn't' work right without a really really good running QB.
Nix is 6'1" 207 & runs a 4.7 according to his ESPN recruiting profile.
That doesn't sounds like a great running QB to me since he's likely too small to have power & not fast enough to be terribly elusive.
He he already a better passer than Stidham?
Its close. He can throw itQuote:

I don't think anyone is really sleeping on him as much as they haven't seen him & he doesn't have a lofty star ranking beside his name.Quote:

There's nearly zero percent chance they win 3 of those 5. They aren't beating Alabama or Georgia and they aren't sweeping those road games. There's a greater chance they lose 4 of those 5 than they even win 2 of them.
Hellllll no. Stidham is in the NFL backing up Tom Brady. A damn true Freshman out of high school is nowhere near that level.Quote:

Again, name 1 time Gus' offense has worked without a top notch running QB? At 6'1" 205 & running a 4.7, does Nix sound like a top notch runner?

I wish we had top flight qb talent like this kid growing up dreaming of a being a bulldog. Maybe dak will have lots of boys
Agree, but that has nothing to do with how good he may be.Quote:

If his name was Edward, would everyone be as high on him?
My point is that as far as they hype machine goes, this kid is riding the gravy train. He may be really good, but I doubt he's near as good as the hype train wants you to believe.
2017? 3rd in sec in total offense and 4th in scoring offense. Beat Bama and Georgia... scored 26 on Bama, and 40 on Georgia. Stigham ran for 153 yards that year. Next question...Quote:

Agree.Quote:

I've seen the kid play twice. He lost one game 51-14 and won the other. He's a gritty kid but he's not special. He was coached by his dad who would leave him in the game passing the ball regardless of the score to Pad his stats.Quote:

I'm actually glad this kid is starting. Gatewood is a damn monster 6'6 235 athletic Qb that can run. The longer he's on the bench the better for us. I honestly believe Gus was pressured into starting Nix.
Your name theory is perhaps the dumbest thing you've ever dreamed up. Go drink some coffee and wake up.Quote:

In order to save his job, if Gus is going to lose this year, it has to be with Nix. If their QB competition was even close, he had to go with Nix since he's the favorite son.Quote:

He's already starting drama again trying to start his 10th grade son over a senior. Bo is not eliteQuote:

Stats don't tell the whole story. Kid has a chance to be really good. We'll just have to wait and see.
Nah, he wouldn't even be FBS if his name wasn't Bo - shotgunQuote:

What are you saying then? He was an UA AA and 5-star bc of his name?Quote:

I'm saying high school stats don't determine if a QB will be effective as a freshman or not.Quote:

Boom!Quote:
