We Need A QB

[Townhallsavoy]

Pettway confirmed that he's coming back.  If Stidham is all he's cracked up to be, next year SHOULD be a record setting year offensively.

"And just wait until the Liberation of Bradation package is revealed in week one. Everyone's expecting Stidham, but we'll sucker punch them with Braden Smith as the starting QB! MUAHAHAHAHA!," wrote Gus Malzahn on his Livejournal account.

Hopefully Gus knows that will never work.  Braden could never spin like Chandler Cox.

He's got the entire off season to work on it.  You underestimate Mr. Smith.

This is the type of post that gets my day off to a snappy happy start.  It's that can-do attitude that tells me I'm ready to face anything today.

Stidham throws a wrench into Auburn's quarterback situation heading into 2017.


He has three years left of eligibility after taking a year away from football, so he figures to be a bit rusty when spring arrives.

Stidham trained by himself and ran the scout team for a local high school team...not just sitting around eating potato chips & fast food.

Oh, so he's ready for Gus' offense before spring even.

Your Trumpism has expanded to football discussions.

The word "rusty" does not appear anywhere in the article. #FakeNews

He has three years of eligibility remaining after spending 2016 away from football while taking classes at McLennan Community College in Waco, Texas.

The article is very complimentary. I don't understand the need to fabricate something from wholecloth in order to feign being aggrieved and oppressed...

Are you sure about that? I read the same thing he posted yesterday. It now has that part omitted. Wtf?

There are apparently two articles.

This one has the "Stidham throws a wrench into Auburn's quarterback situation" line, but it was meant in a positive way. The same article has a sentence very similar to the one he quoted, so I thought he was pulling them both from the same article.

The "rusty" line comes from this one about weighing the pros and cons of each quarterback on the roster.

Still a positive article.

It is a decent article. But the rusty line was so condescending and conjecture. He just had to throw that in there. Couldn't help himself.

You just won todays interwebs.  Holy crap!

Are we sure they didn't say gusty?
