#2 QB has been named.....

[AuburnChopper 3.0]

Would you guys quit trying to compare stuff, its apples to oranges.  RWS is just going to come back with Felix and McFadden or some other argument.  Its idiotic, you can't compare Tulsa to Auburn, Arkansas of 3 years ago to Auburn or Tulsa.  Lets just see how the man does with the talent he has at Auburn.

It was kind of my point.  Tulsa, Arkansas and Auburn are ALL different, so looking at defensive ranks is kind of pointless.  Until he does something at Auburn, there is no indicator, or basis for debate. 

[RWS]

What was Arkansas's offense like his FIRST year as a college coach, let alone first year in the SEC?   Just curious, since you're into looking up all the stats.

Thanks.

Oh, you mean the year Nutt said Malzahn's offense would not work in the SEC and snatched the keys away? Their offense was the same way it was even AFTER Malzahn left. It also improved, for that matter. So, whats your point? I don't see a D-Mac or Felix Jones on AU's roster. Really, when you look at how the offense ran at Arkansas when Malzahn was there, and the year after, there really isn't that much difference. My point is, Malzahn isn't going to have Chizik meddling in the offense and controlling it the way Nutt did. He isn't going to have a co-OC like he did at Tulsa. He's going to be all on his own at Auburn. Like I've said in different threads, Malzahn might light the world on fire. Who knows. If I'm wrong, I have no problem admitting that. Its just my opinion that I won't be wrong. I'm willing to let him prove himself. I think by the middle of the season we will have a little better idea how things are going to work out.

I am a genius!

You called it, and he didn't dissapoint.

[RWS]

Come on, it wouldn't be nearly as fun around here if I did, now would it?

[Kaos]

You are a regular modern day Nostradumbass!

Threads would be shorter, i'll give you that.

BTW how is gymnastics going?

[CCTAU]

I really don't see the problem here.  

If they intend to redshirt Rollison, he can't play anyway.  

Caudle has put in his time.  He's been a good soldier.  He's done what he's supposed to do.  Making him second string is a reward for that.  I'm personally glad he's getting that respect.

Tuberville burned a redshirt year on Burns in a panic -- the first mistake in a string of errors that played a part in his failure to develop as a quarterback.  

If Rollison redshirts, he can practice his ass off for an entire year.  I don't really know that a few mop up snaps at the end of a game will do him that much good.  

If Todd gets hurt (or just sucks monkey ass) then I think this situation gets scrambled again.  

But for now?  Caudle earned it.  

I agree. Whether or not TR is 2 or 3 does not make a hill of beans unless CT gets hurt or cannot perform. I don't think this coaching staff is willing to put the offense on any QB right now. So they go with the one that has the best grasp of the offense mentally. So let's say TR red-shirts and Caudle is good enough to start next season. You still have THREE seasons with TR IF he can get the job done. Remember last season when many of you predicted KB would be great. A lot of things can happen in a season. B. Trotter is not going to go away. Is he that bad that we do not even mention his name any more? Save TR for the future. The poor handling of Burns should have at least taught us that much.

Trotter was hurt this year (knee).  He'll be back and give TR and Caudle a good battle next year.

Don't bitch; I'm generating traffic. With the board now opened up, people don't want to see 1-2 page threads.

Car wrecks generate traffic too.  Seven page threads aren't good either if the sheer overwhelming stupidity of every post makes people's heads start exploding somewhere around page 4...

Now, depending on which threads we're talking about, you could be talking about me, Prowler, Chopper, or Kaos. Possibly War Eagle!!! as well, depending on how many drinks he has had.

Yes.

[War Eagle!!!]

Yes.

That hurts. I don't spew bullshit. I just call RWS out on his...

[The Prowler]

That hurts. I don't spew bullpoop. I just call RWS out on his...

Same here.  I'll add that I also call kaos out on his bullsh1t...and, that I only spread the Truth.  Peace Out Bitches!

On the Chizik might be great side are

Chizad, Prowler, Chopper and occasionally wes. 

I think you're completely misunderstanding my position.

I have never asserted that Chizik might be great.  My stance in these debates has always been defined by your position.  You are so completely myopic in your opinion of Chizik that you are unable to acknowledge any positive moves he makes.  I simply counter that in hopes that you might one day open your mind a bit.  It's an exercise in futility, I know, but I try nonetheless.

My opinion is that Chizik was a puzzling hire, but it's done and we don't have any way of knowing how he'll do.  He's hired a very good staff and has resources at his disposal that he has not heretofore enjoyed.  He may be great, he may be shit.  Time will tell.

This is not true.  When he does something positive, I've acknowledged it.  That acknowledgement generally flies right past because the chorus of "shit colored glasses" starts up usually without actually reading what I've said and also reading it expecting/looking for an anti-Chizik position where often there really isn't one.

This is exactly True.

Kaos, you have to admit, this is a stretch.  Your "blueprint" comments alone fly in the face of this assertion.

Any acknowledgment that you give is always handcuffed to an insult of some sort.  Backhanded compliments aren't compliments at all.
