I'll take the bet AU fan. Give me North and Malone. Is AU gona pass more this year or something? I would imagine UTs guys will get thrown to a lot more with Worley being a pocket guy.

I'd like to propose a friendly wager since you're a cool poster yourself. I'll take Coates and Williams and you pick 2 receivers. Leader in reception yards gets a beer on the other tab. You have my devout word in that. If I can't somehow meet up with you, I'll personally mail you a check for 10 bucks so you can drink one for me as well.

Hmm...I'm tempted by that bet. I'm not sure whether to go with North/Malone or North/Pearson though.

True. Our guys may be at a disadvantage though in that we may have more guys to spread the ball to (Croom, Pearson, Pig, TEs). Even though AU does have some other talented wideouts and TEs, I fell like Coates and Williams will be the main guys. Also, didn't Sammie Coates get arrested. I witnessed that guy get in a bar fight with 3-4 guys that spilled into the street and then he resisted the cops before being put in cuffs. I didn't even think to check if it was ever in the news.

Just looked this up and couldn't find a thing about it. Guess they let him get away with it... It was at the beginning of a long night and I had honestly forgotten about it.

Auburn was heavily lopsided toward the run, last year, so I can't see that approach helping the prospects of a QB wanting to get prepped for the league. In the NFL....it's a PASSING league. Not a spread option, run heavy one. And even if teams love your mobility, they DO NOT want you running a lot. Too much money on the line.

Colin Kaepernick was overlooked largely because he came out of a Pistol offense, even though he had the best size/speed/arm strength combination of any QB in that 2011 draft. Better than even Newton.

He was an Academic All American (so character was not an issue, like it was for Newton), and had a high completion percentage. Also held an NCAA record for most yds passing and running in his career.

Since he and Newton have proven to be successful in the league, it has broken that stereotype to some degree, but teams still frown a bit on QB's coming out of run-heavy systems.

Butch's system is much closer to a Pro-style offense, while still utilizing the QB in the Read Option a portion of the time. It's more like the 49'ers offense with Kapernick at the wheel.

The QB will run about 10% of the time in CBJ's system. Whereas the percentage is much higher in Malzahn's. So, Malzan might try to put on a slick sales pitch, but the stats don't lie.

That's not to say a QB like Mariotta, from Oregon, can't get drafted because he, too, comes out of a run-heavy system. But the low percentage with which OR and AU pass, is enough of a concern to GM's and scouts, when they try to make a determination if that player can translate their game to a more traditional, Pro style game.

It depends on whether or not they can get Gibson's Pastor to join him on the visit. Got's to have a hand-off man to funnel the G's through....in order to stay legit with the NCAA. :whistling:

Payday's coming at the Barn... "Can I get a (NCAA) witness....come on. Come on! :wink:

I effin hate the pasture school that everybody knows, including Slive, that spends yellow wood cash for recruits. There is absolutely no reason a recruit would want to live in the middle of nowhere with nothing to do aside from a drive to Atlanta or 4 hours to the beach.

Jennings
Dormandy
Williams walk-on

I'd roll with that.

You have your DT guy in Jennings but would need time to develop. Dormandy is more of a pure passer but can still move really well. Williams IMO could be the best passer of the bunch and would be a steal as a walk-on.

I'd also keep an eye on the Juco scene IF Riley is indeed gone. Ja'Quay Garmon, Deondre Ford, and Kylen Binn look like decent options.

Cant believe youve been pushing the anti-Gibson agenda, then turn around name 2 QBs that he is head and shoulders better than and might be better than Jennings lol

This has zero logic to it at all.

Im guessing Auburn. He moved them up to co-leaders before he even visits. They also have the ability to wait and chance it because they already have Queen on board. He is also visiting them with his boys. I think we will already have another QB on board by the time he makes his decision

The fact that we have kept offering QB's has kind of been odd to me. I mean, if TG is our guy, and it's a lock, why do all of these other QB's pop up seemingly every day? Just never got that.

I believe that Gibson put Auburn in a tie with us so that he receives "royal treatment" this weekend on his visit to Auburn. This Co-favorite thing is just a smokescreen. Kind of a coincidence that he releases a "new" list right before a visit.

I see Jennings and Gibson as very similar QBs skillset wise. Both great on the move, and not so much in the pocket. Of course both kids could develop as passers in time.

Dormady IMO is clearly a better passer right now. He would be better with the other weapons we have on offense right now. I'd take him and not give it a 2nd thought.

Williams would be a walk-on and unless Gibson wants to walk-on comparing them is pointless. He threw for 5000 yards last year and 50 TDs and would not be taking a scholarship. IMO no brainer to add him as depth to the roster if he wants in.

We offer another qb.... TG puts AU as co-leader.....

We flirt with other qbs he's going to flirt with other schools. It's a dangerous dance.


In the end I believe he'll be a Vol!

Dooley is gone, bruh. Since Butch has been here, he's gone head to head against Auburn for 4 prospects and signed 3 of them.

Cam Sutton
Dontavius Blair
Cortez McDowell

CBJ isn't scared of Auburn.
