Yep.
One thing I do know is by the end of 2020 BB will know if Stidham is "The Guy" or not.
And his draft and free agency period proved they're not going to mortgage the entire future this year either with that unknown.
The GDT will be fun to read after he throws his first pick.
I think you meant "incompletion". These GDT overreactors don't cheat us out of entertainment value.
I think Bill wants to build a team like the 2001 team. Get physical linebackers and rely on the defense and only ask Stidham to be a game manager. Brady was a game manager until around 2005. He didnt become the Brady that lit it up until 2006ish.
AU runs kind of a funky system for a top tier program.I often read that Stidham became a fourth-rounder, because he was not utilized in auburn to his full potential/strengths. Talentwise he was considered a first-round pick before his last season.
So what does that mean? How was he utilized and how should he have been utilized?
Very true and he lit up the last game of the year.AU runs kind of a funky system for a top tier program.
Their QBs work almost exclusively from the shotgun, and are often required to put their heads down and carry out ball fakes or make an RPO decision. Their QBs also are required to run quite a bit. And while Stidham is certainly more equipped to do that than someone like Brady, he's also not Cam Newton.
Beyond that, there are a ton of one-read throws that I thought were rather predictable and a ton of throws either at or behind the line of scrimmage - tunnel screens, flares to the RB, etc.
After Stidham's Junior year, Auburn lost a ton of talent on offense, and especially along the OL. Teams didn't respect the run, they were shading coverages towards Darius Slayton, etc. And the playcalling got ultra-conservative - almost nothing down the field until their final game of the year.
They wouldn't let him audible or anything like that. Plus he's got a decent coaching staff now.AU runs kind of a funky system for a top tier program.

Why hasn’t Brian Lewerke got a team? All the other QBs do.
I miss Tom Brady
Who's our receivers again??
You should breathe from your oxygen tank more, you cranky old fart.I used to miss Tom Brady, but now his allegiance is to "Tompa Bay"... sometimes egos get a tad too large..
