"the only "mistake" Meyer made was letting some guy named "Tom Herman" go start coaching at Houston."

Exactly right. The 2015 offense was pitiful compared to 2014. A wasted, underperforming year by a very talented team.

We appreciate all the buck's coming over her to prop up JB, and I do hope that he comes to LSU and I also hope he's great. But the logic is thin. College spring games are even less predictive of the regular season than preseason is for the NFL. Now we're supposed to put all of our stock on last year's spring game?

Bottom line. We have a slot. Take him if he want's to come. We'll see if he's as good as the helpful buck's on here seem to believe, but he's not a slam dunk to start yet.

Not every school has a scholarship available. Most used their allotment in the recruiting cycle. He is a take and I like our chances.

" We'll see if he's as good as the helpful buck's on here seem to believe, but he's not a slam dunk to start yet."

You are fundamentally correct. What I would suggest though, is look at his deep throws in both of the spring games. There are about 7 where he connected and they are not merely good. they are perfect. Did any of your qbs make one throw as good? (I really don't know) He is a way, way better passer than JT Barrett. In posting on this board, I looked closer than before and saw more good things than I was aware of.

In any event, on OSU's end, we want a good amount of competition for Alabama and don't want Joe to go to Nebraska.

burrow spring game 2017


His 2017 highlights were pretty good, but his 2016 spring game highlights were better. His deep ball was on the money and he had good touch on the intermediate and underneath stuff. This guy would be an instant upgrade talent wise. If he learned the offense and the coaches learned him, it would be quite the get.

ETA: and he has more size than Brennan and a way better arm than the other guys........ Do it. Do it now.

What can Meyer do? He's a graduate. He can tell Urban to stick it.

You might be correct, but go compare his spring games (from 2016 & 2017) to those of our QBs. It will make you want to get him.
