Thoughts on Frazier and the future. As I said before, I went to a scrimmage the week before the season where Frazier took all the snaps. It was obvious then why he was #3 on the depth chart. Granted, they were resting the starters and seeing who would give them depth that day, but it was apparent that KF just wasn't a very accurate passer. Maybe it was just that day, but with the play of Trotter and Moseley this year and Frazier being so limited in what they allow him to do, it's probably the most likely reason.
Now, having said that, I place zero faith in Fro-Throw or Moseley being Auburn's future at QB. I think you have to focus your attention on getting Frazier as many reps as possible between now and the spring game. And since Pike is to enroll early, find out what he's all about as soon as possible. Frazier is a weapon running the ball. He's fast and athletic and surprisingly strong running up the middle. I think the way to go is Frazier at the helm using a steady diet of option plays with him and Dyer in the middle with an occasional speed rush with MacProne.
How many times this year have we been arguing that Dyer could have ground out 150 yards regardless if you just give him the damn ball. Well, how much more would they have to respect Dyer if they had to account for both he and Frazier. You work in enough safe, play action passes to Lutz and others and never put Frazier in the situation of having to stand in the pocket and make decisions. Let him and Dyer pound it like Sandusky up the middle until the kid feels comfortable. Unless they do sign an all world JUCO QB, it's Frazier and Pike as the future. Use them.
