Kiehl Frazier is BY FAR the worst.

Then Kodi Burns
Robbie Ashford
Daniel Cobb
TJ Finley
Jeremy Johnson
Clint Moseley
Payton Thorne
Sean White

re: thorne's first quarter pick against UK. Listen to freeze. WR ran incorrect route and coach said throw was on point otherwise.

Thorne could bare some blame there, but maybe not.

Y'all are delusional. Thorne is 3x the QB that Ashford, Trotter, Frazier, Wallace, Finley

IIRC, the Cox years were (as so so many are at Auburn) a situation where there was NO serviceable backup in place. Tubs would come out every week talking about how "banged up" Cox was. Limited mobility, yada yada yada....Excuse making, in other words.

My main problem with that interception is it appeared his head was entirely locked into that area where he threw it the whole time.

Overall he played well though.

This thread is embarrassing.

You mean Tommy.

He always was beat up. Brandon Cox took arse whippings.

Yeah I saw that too. not giving him the benefit of the doubt, but there's a possibility that Simmons (I think it was) Would've been wide had he ran correctly. But Thorne still shouldn't telegraph that.

He either meant Tommy, or he is talkiing about Chris Todd.

I cannot believe you put Thorne in the Robby Ashford tier. Noted.

Brandon Cox had some sort of neuromuscular disease which he played through that caused muscular weakness. Anyone who brings him up (or Thorne) in a list of "worst Auburn QB's" is a straight tard. Cox wasn't amazing, but he battled given his condition.

That's where he is now. He looks slightly more competent than Ashford for sure but has a penchant for the backbreaking TO and all he is does is lose. If he can beat Vandy maybe I'd slide him up to Tier 3 with the likes of Sean White and Chris Todd. Cox is by himself in Tier 4.

Maybe we need a definitive tiered ranking thread.

Myasthenia Gravis. I remember. He still was a QB for us and can be evaluated by his play.

Cox was a lot better than most of the guys on these lists though.

Only 11 active players have thrown for more passing yards than Thorne. I am not buying that he is slightly more competent than Ashford, a bum that cannot start no matter where he plays. Thorne is tier 3 or better at the minimum. You are not on my Christmas Card list.

You are a notorious Ashford hater. I'm afraid you can't see this clearly.

I am surprised that JF3 (Netflix Cam) is not on one of these lists.

That dude was straight up bad
