Meyer moved the goalposts. Promised to name a starter the week after the Spring game, then didn't. No longer a fair competition. Burrow is now competing quite nicely.

Maybe he genuinely didn't know who he wanted to start. Or maybe he did like Haskins a little better but not a lot better. I don't think there was malicious intent here.

The guy has won 3 NCs. I'm not one to appeal to authority but the guy has earned the benefit of the doubt about these decisions and thus far he hasn't been proven wrong.

I love how you think this somehow is a positive argument for burrow.

"The coach wouldn't choose between player A and player B, so player A quit."

The next logical question is, why did player A quit if he still had a chance to be the starter?

The only logical answers are either he didn't want to keep competing or he didn't think he was going to be the starter whenever that decision got made. Either way it's not a positive for him.

I also love how burrow is the only quarterback you track dropped passes, throwaways, pressures, etc and compile a "what if" completion percentage for.

Your weekly scorned-lover burrow threads are pathetic and do the opposite of making him look better.
