Right. Because that’s a good look.

CTE don’t give a fuck! Fuck perception! That doesn’t make a difference with future cruits!

What does Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy have to do with Auburns's dismal QB play?

I have read on more than one occaision that Thorne is like having an extra coach on the field. By all indications I'm sure he's a nice young man. He might have a bright future as a football coach.

Perusing the Tik Toks last night, and came across one that said, "Let's look at the top 3 worst quarterbacks in college football".

Thorne was this guy's #2. I think that's a little low.

Let’s not temp Vanilla Vick to go for the gold here because he will sure as hell do it.

At this point, what could possibly be gained by starting Thorne? I’m not throwing in the towel on the season two games in. I put this past Saturday’s shit sandwich more on the coaching staff than anyone else. A simple adjustment in the first quarter, to rushing 4-5 instead of 3 every single down, might have won the game with D alone. Getting the ball out of the QB’s hands when they’re bringing linebackers every play could have been just what the O needed to get kick started. Ear-Regardless, in the end, you’re still relying on Payton Thorne to make those throws.

Thorne is a 12th year senior. He’s gone after this season, and playing him does nothing to prepare this team for the future. Stick with him, and you’re going into next year with one big, fat question at the most important position on the field. If you don’t have enough sample size by now to see that the guy is simply not an SEC caliber QB, you need your head examined. No one here, or anywhere that I’ve heard, is saying HB24, or Two-Dub, or Gurrnrr are better. Nobody knows that at this point. But you do know that you’re not going anywhere with PT under center.

I heard it said perfectly yesterday. I hope Monday, we’re talking about how Hank Brown did, and not that Payton Thorne threw for 311 yards and 3 TD’s, because if it’s Thorne, Auburn is still in the same boat.

This guy knows his shit because I'm in total agreement. Yeah.

Brown could go 65% with no turnovers while leaning on a run game that needs work.
Give him some quick throws just get rid of the ball quicker than Thorne and stop trying to craft some kind of a Duhvenchy out of a common pitch and catch.
Tom Terrific was first a field manager and that Super Bowl season was a total team effort. He showed improvement as the season progressed.

We aren't driving a stake through Thorne's heart, we just want to see another guy show us what he's got.

Walker White might turn into the most legendary Friday Night hash slinger in the anus of Waffle House but you don't start at the top people. You train as a prep cook, mind the irons, man the toaster and bide your time until your number is called. Is he a student of the game, a grill rat? How can we know until the regular cook pulls a no call- no show and White is thrust into the heat if battle to sink or swim. Hey! I asked fer my eggs soft scrambled, not murdered.

I can get a good look at a T-bone by sticking my head up a bull's ass, but I'd rather take a butcher's word for it.

Walker White is the one who knocks.
