Frazier is This Season's Future

From CBSSportsAuburn:

Quote

Freshman QB Kiehl Frazier continues to get work out of the Wildcat formation, but coaches have considered letting their coveted freshman work from standard formations. "That’s not out of the question, but right now … it’s been a concerted effort to keep him inthe spot with the Wildcat threat," coach Gene Chizik said

Slowly but surely, he'll start working his way in.

I have a bad feeling this isn't because Frazier is that talented.

He has much work to do.

I'd rather lose with the future. I say let him play, if he does well Pike goes elsewhere, if he tanks we can turn him into a wide receiver.

And fuck-up Trooper's elite receiving corp with a cast-off?

Hell, what is gonna hurt at this point. I'm sure the kid has got skills at passing, we know hes gots the wheelz.

Gus Malzahn on Kiehl Frazier playing more:

"I think so. He's impressed us. He's a real calm kid. We're trying to expand his role"

Yep, go ahead and develop him. Were a 5-7 win team with or without him, so might as well plan for next year. We could be badass the next 2 years if we play this right.

I don't think Zeke would leave solely because of this happening.

Enough about Barrett Trotter snaggle. Let's talk about Frazier.

Bwaaaaa. That Kodi Burns kid will win us 500 games if we just let him play.

Be real. The kid has not even shown he can throw the ball yet. Keep him in wildcat and give him more throws. If he does well, increase his time. But don't give away the now for the future just because you THINK he'll be great one day.

I didn't mean this to say "He's the answer to our woes."

I'm just relaying what the coaches are saying.

They're starting to hint. Frazier is going to get more plays.

And he should, but we don't need another false savior. We need to bring him along slowly. If the kid is going to be good, we'll see it in flashes. For now he has not done, of been allowed to do, a whole lot. I don't mind mixing him in more. But there are many out there who just want to give up and let him have the reins.

I think working him in more and at least giving him a series here and there is the ticket. I'm certainly not ready to tank Trotter by any stretch because he's had some good moments and a lot of his ineffectiveness at times is the result of shitty playcalling. Right now, through 4 games, Trotter is:

61/99 783 yards 8TDs 3 Ints. 196 yards/game

Not bad numbers and again, I think they'd be a good bit better if some things were different in the playcalling. The only real element Frazier brings right now is better running ability.

Why do you guys keep bringing Trotter into this?

Being cute and funny aside, he's right. We know NOTHING about him, other than he seems to have pretty good wheels. Yet, everybody assumes he's the savior?

Fuckin' shit fans are funny. "The true Fr. guy we've barely seen play has to be better than the guy the coaches chose to start!"

Thinking that any large black guy with wheels is Jesus Christ; it's one of the many symptoms of Cammy Cam Juice withdrawal.

I'm not calling for Frazier to replace Trotter. Just give him more reps than he is currently getting. Everytime Frazier has been in the game something positive has happened. Need the third down conversion? Boom he comes in and delivers. Need a huge pass play. Boom he comes in and he and Clint deliver. There's only been one bad play that Frazier has been in on on offense and that was his first pass. It wasn't a terrible pass either. It was put where it could not be intercepted and off the receiver's hands. Sorry but if the ball hits the receivers hands I expect them to catch it.

You're asking way too much of our young receiving corp. Catching the ball. Pffft...
