Summary

Auburn Tigers' quarterback chatter reaches fever pitch as viral videos spark fierce debate—are fans unfairly judging talent based on highlight clips alone? Byron Brown’s throwing motion and 2027 commit Gary Chatman Jr.’s workout tape ignite social media, but the real story lies in their on-field performance against top Georgia competition. Can Auburn’s quarterback room finally silence the doubters after years of instability? Zac Blackerby and Ben Taylor break down Chatman Jr.'s potential, assess Byrum Brown’s fit in the new system, and question whether Tristan Ti'a or another emerging contender could be Auburn’s next starter. The conversation explores the impact of NIL on quarterback recruiting, Auburn’s roster challenges, and the critical importance of player development for the Tigers’ future in the SEC race. Will Auburn find their long-term answer at quarterback, or is the solution still outside the current roster?

0:20.3	Part of the Locked on Podcast Network, your daily podcast on the Auburn Tigers. Part of the Locked-on Podcast Network,
0:22.7	your team every day. Yes, bonus edition of Locked on Auburn. I'm Zach Blackerby. He is Ben Taylor
0:29.9	over at the Auburn Network family of stations. He hosts Auburn Opelago this morning.
0:33.7	You're also going to hear him every afternoon on afternoon delight part of the barn Auburn.
0:40.3	So, Ben, I love it when people come out and they're pretty vocal about, you know, something negative regarding Auburn.
0:47.2	And in this case, you know, both situations we're going to reference are quarterback related.
0:51.7	And then they quickly tell on themselves.
0:54.9	An example.
0:59.7	Everybody like, all right, Byron Brown, we'll see what he can do, whatever.
1:07.0	And then when the throwing motion video comes out at spring, everyone's like, oh, he can't throw it.
1:07.4	No, his throwing motion didn't change.
1:09.6	You guys are telling on yourselves for having an opinion on this guy and you didn't watch
1:13.5	his take.
1:14.0	You told on yourselves.
1:15.4	We've seen a similar thing happen over the last week or so with Gary Chapman,
1:20.8	Jr., who committed to Auburn this past Saturday, the quarterback of the 2027 class,
1:26.7	and a guy who we've talked very highly on on this show,
1:29.1	same with the bar and same with afternoon delight. And to me, like the big question is, okay,
1:34.6	like he's a three star, but what does that actually mean? And you look at his tape and it's like,
1:38.6	this guy's pretty good. This guy's pretty solid. And then a clip goes viral because a quarterback I think it was from a quarterback trainer, but it's a video of him working out making some throws. They're like, man, he's zipping it.
