2008 Quarterback
I was at the Ole Miss game on October 27, and a friend and I got to talking. We were discussing who would be Auburn's quarterback next season. I said I thought it would be Blake Field, and he said he thought Kodi Burns. I tried to argue that the reason that KB relieves Cox is because he is a different quarterback than Cox, and Field is pretty much a right-handed carbon copy.
Mind you, this was before the Tennessee Tech game, when KB sucked it up and Field looked great. Even so, I have kind of changed my mind. I do not think that Field will be our starting quarterback, but instead it will be Neil Caudle. He's younger and has more upside (IIRC). Also, has anyone else noticed that we are using Blake Field on special teams (kickoff return and punt return)? I know he's a big dude, but if he's truly the second-string quarterback, that's not somebody I'd risk injury to.
With all that said, here's a poll. Basically give me a prediction.
As always, War Damn Eagle!

Depends
Depends on who our head coach is. If it is Tubs-it will be the least qualified qb. If it's someone else, I have total faith they'll make the right decision. I'll go with Caudle!

Here's my two cents...
I still believe it will Burns. Here's why: Field's has a shoulder injury that continues to bother him. It's been kept kind of quiet, but the Auburn coaches are really worried about it. I like Caudle, but he just can't seem to stay healthy.
So that leaves Burns. True, he looked simply horrible against Tenn. Tech. My guess is, he'll look a lot better after going through winter workouts and spring practice.
Then again, there's a good chance we'll have a new Offensive Coordinator. If that's the case, then it's anyone's guess.
It all makes for good debate. It will be interesting. I dread taking a new quarterback to West Virginia.
