If you gave a **** about anything other than your b.s. agenda, you'd be watching other football right now.
Hyperbole at it's finest. Hey Green Bay, Carolina, Minnesota, Pittsburgh, New York Giants, Atlanta and Baltimore did... their teams are (or have been) much better than ours at this time... what's your point?
Dude! That was almost a week ago. I don't remember my point lol. Fact remains picking a QB in the first round is far from the prerequisite for success. It's about getting the right QB, in the right system, and with the right parts to the system regardless of where he is picked. Obviously the more talented get picked in the first two rounds but so do busts. This team is no closer to a championship if they pick another bust.
Which is very true. But going out and saying look at these scrubs they never made it while ignoring the teams that have had success with it is extreme pigeonholing. We definitely need a QB and this QB guru that we have as a head coach may or may not be the one that finds it but regardless we need something. Anything better than what we've been working with in the past few years.

He kind of reminds you of Ben Roethlisberger in a way. Quick for his size. If he put on a few pounds he would be very difficult to take down in the pocket. That's what made Big Ben such a pain in the ass.
I think it's safe to say that Paxton Lynch is entering the draft. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Source: Memphis' Justin Fuente will replace Frank Beamer as Virginia Tech's head coach: <a href="https://t.co/zFIasAETk3">https://t.co/zFIasAETk3</a> <a href="https://t.co/m5ayq3gvYh">pic.twitter.com/m5ayq3gvYh</a></p>— ESPN (@espn) <a href="https://twitter.com/espn/status/670691624100323328">November 28, 2015</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Ya having a rough start for sure. Not sure about the play calling either, a lot of screens and east/west which Auburn, if anything, has the speed to defend well.
