There's enough pressure to just try to play for a team like Alabama or Auburn, but Auburn sabotages these guys with crazy talk about winning Heismans before they take one snap. I've already seen where one person said he'll be the career leading yard producer since he's going to be their first true freshman to start since 1946. This prediction is setting him up to fail and it's assuming he never struggles. It's just unfair and, more importantly, unnecessary!
Kind of like the “Boom Brothers†from a few years ago. “Just like nitro and glycerin “. lol
I was watching the SEC network this morning and the 2 talking heads made Nix sound like he was the second coming of Peyton Manning.
Bo Nix will be a good QB for AU. I don't know how well he'll do this year. But he has all the tools to be a very good college QB in time. He's a smart kid. He's been coached by a college QB who knows the game since he was big enough to hold a football in the back yard. And he is talented. Barring injury, he'll be their starter for the next three years and will (eventually) be a very good QB.
They've got a good defense and a decent group of skill players. Nix will be as good as their OL though. A true freshman with a bad OL will play like his age.
Seems like Sean White may've had similar problems as Stephen Garcia from what I remember hearing.
Barners are everywhere...
He sounds like he is talented - but definitely picked the wrong school to develop for the next level... :cool2:

Agree. Being a legacy player (dad being former AU qb Patrick Nix) had much to do with that decision.
Re: Plain Trouble on "Da Plains" (all AU posts here)h
That was my point. Stidham had virtually no one to throw to that day and was erratic but still they beat us in the worst spread in over 40 years. Nix is a HUGE improvement at the position. Trust me, I’ve watched him in person.

You can have all the tallent in the world and if you don't have a coaching staff who can develope you/use it propperly that tallent will be somewhat wasted.
Reading through this, I feel like a lot are discounting Bo's running ability. He's a different type of runner than Gatewood, but he is a very mobile QB.
I'm sure I haven't watched his highlights/Tape anywhere near as much as the average AU fan..... but to me he looks to have upside along the lines of a McKenzie Milton or Baker Mayfield type QB.
By that I mean he looks very fluid and mobile in the pocket..... and out of it.... scrambling to buy time to make throws on the run.
I haven't seen any freakish runs like Kyler Murray or Lamar Jackson flashed frequently but again I haven't watched all his footage.
He no doubt has Talent.
Yeah, he's certainly no Nick Marshall by any means, but he's no slouch in the running department and can run the full offense.
But his primary weapon is his arm, and it's a good one.
Think his biggest weakness is the fact that he's, well, a gunslinger. That's both a good and bad thing. He's like Favre in that regard, not afraid to take risks. He's going to throw some picks this year.

The Barn season will hinge on the 15 days from 9/21 through 10/5. On the road at aTm, home against the Bullies, and on the road in Gainesville.
If they make it through that, it’s at least a 10-11 win season. If they stumble, LSU, UGA and we await. FWIW, I expect the Barn to have only one loss headed into the LSU game. From there, Nix and the OL (and everyone else) will find out how mature they are.

I agree; watching his highlights he is borderline elite in speed. He runs away from people. Of course he hasn't played college game yet, but has some speed, no doubt. I honestly think he is going to be very good. He has all the tools, including the mental aspect of the game. Too bad he is at the barn.
I don't see how we could not. We have not seen him play one play against a college defense. Those who expect him to be a good runner w/o seeing him play against a college defense yet are the ones who need to check themselves. He may be Manziel or Hurts but........
