There he is, the future of Auburn football, Auburn's very own Tim Tebow! Ladies and gentleman Walker White!

Smooth too
Walker is at a different level. You can see in the second set of reps, baby goat is trying to speed up his delivery to be more like WW. Walker looks really intense in the opening clip watching the other guys go through reps. If this is going to be a true QB battle, WW and Baby Goat will leap frog Holden if not PT as well. The future is now and one of the to should get the start. Waiting another year is another year of beginning a new! WW is the future. HB should be QB2. Holden needs tape for the portal transfer and PT is gone. If CHF starts PT in game 1, how long do you think it will be until the crowd starts chanting “we want Walker”
Good to see the guys back out there. It's going to be interesting to see how everyone looks against coverage.
Walker brings tebow energy and I’m all for it
In my opinion watching this walkervwhites composure was just higher and i see a good confidence level from him
Since everyone is talking about their throwing motions Thorne- Honestly does throw a good looking ball. His problems were always about decision making, not mechanics. Arm angle was the most variable on his throws, which isn't bad unless he's throwing the same routes every single time Geriner- Super quick 3/4. Seemed a little half-assed in the drill, but if his motion looks like that in the game...yikes Brown- Very nearly a sidearm thrower. Weird to look at, but if it works, it works White- Very similar throwing motion to Vince Young (Not a good thing). Doesn't extend his arm all the way on his throws, which isn't entirely necessary, but there are accuracy related drawbacks to a throwing motion like that

You seem very knowledgeable about football form so I got a quick question of Holden How could you tell if he was maybe half-assing it, and what makes you worry about his form in the game?I’m trying to learn what to look for 😅

True but watching Walker white it looked like he wasn't really trying to sling it bc we have seen him open his arms wide in his games rn I think he's just trying to work on his short passes to release the ball quicker, he's a gun slinger so it's not crazy to think he's trying to work on the short passes

@robertthaas3376 I wouldn't take much from the previous commenter. His descriptions of each QB's throwing motions were about as accurate as 2+2=7
The fact that Thorne is still on this team…

Please no more Thorne ...he's one of the worst QBs I've ever seen in my life ...the fact he has a scholarship at a top program is a disgrace
Walker is a stud
Walker White looks grown up vs a bunch of kids
Hank Brown has a good release. Live arm.
White has way more zip on his release this kid is the future.
Mechanics and natural athletic strength it's obvious. Walker White has much better stature. And he looks ready today. To start. Thorne looks like Flutie standing next to WW.
Good throws. This gives me hope that they can make connections to the wide receivers. Since the film doesn’t show any receptions, I will lie to myself and believe the receivers are on the same page with any of the QBs.
Holden got the ball off really quick! I think he might be slept on right now, let’s see if he can pull throigh

After reviewing comments I am wrong
Here’s how I feel the last game auburn had we put Hank brown in towards the ending of game he made 3 complete passes under pressure at the last few minutes he had you telling me we put in freshman straight out of highschool in last quarter with few minutes not full quarter and he was able to make 3 complete throws and PT couldn’t do none the whole damn game cmon now walk white I ain’t seen him in game so idk hopefully it’s either Hank brown or walker white my opinion
WDE
Peyton ‘pick six’ thorn looks to be in good form
Thorne looks like a runt compared to white. Thorne is tiny and has a weak arm but I got a feeling that he’s going to be the starter for most of the year. Maybe after 4-5 losses they will let the young QBs play.
I like hank the tank fr
I like the snaps! The next QB coach will be my first BUT I don’t think I would want my QB staring at the target in practice as I think it could and more than likely does translate to the field
see yall at aday
Please, no more Thorne 😢
Walker White will be QB1
If White is QB1 it will be a 7-5 season at best.
Please nobody compare White to Tebow. Walker White throwing motion demeanor coolness you name it. He's way above Tebow. WW is going to be one of the best. No injuries. Please do not say he looks like Tebow. That's an insult. And to he*ll with Florida. No props ever to the Florida Gators. Please 🥺
I think Auburn people are just really impatient look at Ashford. Most qb's need time to develop and Ashford and Throne got half ass-ed development with that two qb shit. As a Georgia fan who's seen qb's come, go and stay lemme tell ya it does a lot better than you think to let a young qb sit out for a while even if just a year and invest in a school.

I agree, even if we are desperate for a qb 😅
I hope they never change the uniforms or helmet
Next time cut Thorne out😂 we’ve seen enough in actual games
Thorne looks like crap. Hank or Walker will be the QB1.
Payton Thorne is TERRIBLE. Death, taxes and Payton Thorne incompletions. He CANNOT be our starting quarterback if we wanna have any chance of being even a halfway decent team in the SEC in 2024.
Walker white looks the best! Thorne passes looked rushed
