As far as Braxton Miller, I would love to get him at LSU but...

can't we all agree that Oregon would be the homerun destination for him? Can you think of a better place, as far as a fit is concerned?

For college play, I agree.

For proving himself an NFL QB, LSU and Cam are better

i think he realizes he's not an NFL player or he'd just go pro. i am scared of braxton miller over here as a CFB player, too

*ETA: if rehabbing his body and image and getting to the NFL are the goals, Duke should be his school

Playing for Jimbo Fisher at Florida State would be my choice. That dude got Christian Ponder, E J Manuel, and now James Winston all drafted in 1st round.

No offense to LSU but if I was Miller and I wanted to be at a place where I could put up good numbers, LSU would be last on my list.

I don't think you understand....LSU is loaded with WRs. The right QB could flourish, as Mett did. People think it's an offense problem when really it's just a QB problem. When your QB doesn't have the skill set to make certain plays, the OC is really in a bind.

Just look at 2013 numbers.

Jennings and Harris were both very talented though, it's not like they just forgot how to play QB. I don't want to blame Les because I'm not sure he has much of a hand in the offense, but maybe the QB coach isn't ideal.

Jennings is not very talented and Harris was a freshman. A true freshman who apparently didn't learn the playbook. Jennings missed wide open guys all year and couldn't get past his first read before scrambling. He is not talented

He has a hand in the 3 TE / FB sets on every 1st and 2nd down. It's been that way long before Cam.

As an OSU fan I love Braxton Miller and hope he stays at OSU but if he feels that transferring would be better for his NFL aspirations then I support that. Im not convinced LSU is a good fit for him based on the fact that they have 2 Dual Threat Qb's that they are trying to make fit into a pro style offense. Braxton would have the same problem.

If he wants to play in the NFL he should stay at Ohio State and play WR.

Here's how I think it will pan out...

Braxton will stay at tOSU and play H back and some at wildcat (if he's healthy enough to), but JT will get the majority of the snaps. Cardale will only play in blowouts.

If JT has another great year, he will go pro. This will pave the way for Cardale to start as a senior.

If JT stays, Cardale will have the ability to transfer with no penalty if he graduates as planned next year.

LSU set conference records for offense in 2013

I think he'd be a better fit at FSU. Especially with the talent they have returning.

Harris has a lot of talent. He's just green. Jennings really isnt talented at all.

I only worry that he may be a system QB because he gets hurt then his backup looks like a Hiesman candidate. Then that QB goes down and the 3rd stringer looks like a 1st round QB.

Even if he is and he sucked it's not like LSU would be any worse off.

Unless you count delaying Harris's playing time but Miles would have found a way to do that anyway.

Hahahha what? OSU is the perfect offense and perfect place for Braxton.

He's not going anywhere. His dad said hes staying at OSU, Urban says hes staying, JT and Cardale said hes staying and he himself said he was staying.
