Anybody else not buying the hype? I just don’t see anything that great from him.

He may be something but this year he will make some freshman mistakes.

 

[T-TownDawgg]

Athletic. Big arm. Accuracy is Freshman-like, but I think will improve. Confidence off the charts. He's dangerous.

I'm scared he'll do a 2012 Manziel on us. Better hit him in the mouth early.

Oh wait, our defense is TBD. We may be 17ed.

 

[Shamoan]

I don’t necessarily see talent, but I certainly do see leadership. He commanded that situation when it was critical and that is a sign of good leadership. I can buy being skeptical in talent, but he will only get better after taking a few lumps in the sec.

I guess he’ll be the Next Great Thing? At least that what they’re telling me so...

He went 13-31 for 177 yards, 2 TD’s and 2 picks...He averaged just over 5 yards per completion...his QB rating was under 45.

HOWEVER...it could have been MUCH MUCH WORSE:



If Seth Williams doesn’t make a great play on an underthrown ball that frankly most safeties would have either batted down or picked...

Auburn would be 0-1 with a loss to a mediocre PAC-12 team and Nix’s stats would be more like:

12-31 for 150 yards, 1 TD and 2 (or 3) INT’s with a QB rating of about 25. Auburn fans would be checking to see who the backup is and State fans would be licking our chops thinking about our DB’s vs. the freshman in 3 weeks...

Amazing what a great play by a receiver can do for a quarterback’s reputation.

I think auburn is still overrated. I know he’s a freshman but he made some really questionable calls against a pac 12 defense.

 

[DancingRabbit]

Well, he's a freshman. It's game one. We know how Gus can develop freshmen QBs**

 

[Cooterpoot]

He underthrew balls all night. I don’t see it. He was more lucky than good.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Give ESPN another Daddy to show in the stands after flashing photos of him in Auburn gear as a kid.

 

[MagicDawg]

I don’t see it. He was more lucky than good.

SNAFU: Situation normal: Auburn flukes unsurprising.

 

[Shmuley]

The more time he has with Gustav, the better it will be for booger opponents.

 

[Diggin Out Yo Wife]

He's a good QB. He's got 'it'.

 

[coach66]

Yep, You either "got it" or you don't. He's been play QB since he was 4 yo

probably with a dad who played it pretty well. He is going to be good.

 

[WilCoDawg]

He was more lucky than good.

You just described Auburn football perfectly.
