I find it difficult to grasp that none of the other quarterbacks in the room are no better than PT last year or this year ~ really? What does that say about our talent analysis?
Thinking about this some more. I can understand if PT were an SEC level 9 or 10 QB it would be difficult for others in the room to substantially shrink the gap. However, PT played like an average QB in the SEC last year and so he's just a 4 to 6 level. None of the younger players in the QB room can match or exceed that?
PT is going to be fine this year. I think he’s going to be because CHF is going to demand excellence from him this year. If not, CHF is going to play Hank at QB1. Feels like a 8-9 win season.
The question shouldn't be IF anyone can beat out PT, of course they can, HB smoked him in 5 minutes in Nashville, but whether or not HF will start anyone else but PT against the best of the schedule in spite of the fact that they've already beaten PT out. It was over for me in Nashville,... all PT did last season was beat the dregs of the schedule and lose to the best.
Thorne had a lot of bad reads on coverage, bad ints, and passed the ball to hard, hank brown looked cool under pressure and soft touch passing (no hard-to-catch bullets)
With PT the floor is 5-7 and the ceiling is 7-5, 8-5 if we win the bowl game. If this season finishes any worse than 7-5 Hugh Freeze will be on the hot seat during the 2025 season... its not what i want but it is what will happen. This is a new day in college football and nobody is giving a coach more than 3 years to turn things around especially with the transfer portal and NIL at thier disposal....
Personally I think if it’s not Hank or Walker, we’re gonna be in big trouble. I don’t care how good pt practices, he doesn’t show up when the lights come on.
I think that depends on how long he sticks with Thorne if he is playing badly. I don't think it will mean "hot seat" unless there are some bad losses in there (meaning to bad teams not blow outs). - Ike
I'm sorry, but Payton Thorne is the absolute worst quarterback in the history of Auburn football. he should have been benched for the season at half time of the Texas A&M last year.
Here’s my deal I don’t think our floor/ceiling is that much different with PT vs Hank or Walker. If the race is close at all pull the trigger on Hank or walker and ride it out. PT is absolute garbage so Hugh putting all his eggs in the PT basket is concerning
Freeze lied to all of us. Not a good look. He will lose this team if he rides with thorne if he is still as terrible as he was last year. May the BEST man win
WAR EAGLE LOVE THE CONTENT! Hank Brown BABY GOAT QB1 🔥🔥🔥
Glad I see another man with some senses! HANK THE TANK!!!
The fact hes our future Basketball HC is FANTASTIC

So… who do we replace Hugh Freeze with when he is fired after we go winless with Thorne and Freeze can’t quit him?
Auburn will not go winless. So, this scenario won't play out.
I want lane kiffin
Question, wasn't an open competition why PT hit the portal and left mst?

Thorne has a noodle arm, so hard passes weren’t a problem. Lol

I Fn hope so edit Unless we get his Freshman year I'll take that. He's declined every year since.

Curious as to how bad it will look if freeze has to bench Thorne for bad play. Will freeze's seat be hot if it happens?
I think that depends on how long he sticks with Thorne if he is playing badly.

What about walker white
I think he is I'm the completion but likely not a big factor during Spring

Can't Chaney backup both JWill and CBM.?
Have a 3 way rotation between the 3 and 4 spot
Who’s Jill
I think he meant J Will

Yea 😂 they really expect a 180 turnaround and it’s a waste of a season
You must of not been around for the jermey Johnson days or Jonathan Wallace

@@Mdoug1989and it sends you into 25 starting over at QB because neither WW or Hank got REAL reps against the best.
Freeze lied to all of us. Not a good look. He will lose this team if he rides with thorne if he is still as terrible as he was last year. May the BEST man win
What was the lie that CHF told?
