I hear ya...but...

We can bring in another guy starting from scratch on his understanding of HF's offense, or we can ride with a guy who has a year's experience in it and plan for the future.  I'm leaning towards the known quantity, and I was VERY vocal about my disdain for Thorne at times.

Nah.  He's only like 5'7".
It is bad when even Wes talks down to a player.

I have no problem if Thorne stays, but I would fully expect U to scour the planet to find an upgrade. 

I have no idea what happened with this offense at times, with regard to the schemes and play calling.  You go back to the Hobby Lobby game, and if you recall, there were a couple of points in there that the boos were raining down, and rightfully so.  The play calling was as bad, and vanilla as we've seen at Auburn in a long time.

They got down two scores, and finally started to open it up with quick, decisive routes and passes.  Yes, Ole Miss was playing off and keeping it in front of them, but it was clear, that this was what we do well....what Thorne can do well.

They kept that going the next 3 weeks, and finally had their "identity".  Strong running game and a short to intermediate passing attack.  Thorne handles both pretty well, especially getting better and better at the read option.

However, he is limited.  He's not extremely accurate, and doesn't seem to see the field well if asked to find receivers down field.  Lord knows, I'm not trying to come off as some expert. That I ain't!!!  But it doesn't take a rocket surgeon to watch a quarterback take about 500 snaps in a season, and be able to go, "He's pretty good at this, but he ain't worth a shit at that."

Thorne is fine, if they run an offense based on his strengths.  But, I'd sure like to find a QB who can kick it up a notch in all areas.

Thorne will stay. He likes AU. And he’ll be hard to beat out.
Well, we can rest assured that Thorne’s a goner, now.

Such a long post, but I agree. Especially the part about WT.

He's a guy that in baseball terms would be a great clubhouse guy.  Great to have on the team for chemistry, but not so much on teh fields.

I could see him doing Campbell's Soup ads if he ups his game slightly, catches a few balls. War Eagle!

I have a minor suggestion.  First, let's fire the Special Teams Coach, for being Special ed.  Second, if Battie is coming back, don't let him anywhere near the kickoff return team.  Put Scott back there, and tell him anything kicked into the end zone is not to be returned.

How many times this season did Battie bring one out after catching it 3-5 yards deep?  A dozen?  At least.  That's either on him because he's too stupid, or on the ST Coach because....he's too stupid.

KS is probably the fastest guy on the team and a threat almost every time he fields a punt.  But instead, they put Battie and Sean Jackson back on the goal line. 

Just a suggestion.

You can't run it back if you don't run it back...
The guy was brought in to return kicks. He led that nation in it. 
Returning kicks is different than returning punts. The vision is different. The mindset is different. Each has their own place. I did not have an issue with Battie or KS.

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.
