Braxton Miller to Bama???

[Texas Jefe]

I hate to argue with you, but I don't understand where the idea that Watson in rigid. He ran a conservative power running system at Colorado. West Coast at Nebraska, until he started a Freshman and installed the zone read for Martinez. Strong was running power spread and he changed it to a West Coast offense for Bridgewater. I font see that as rigid

I understand all that, and it could be that me calling him rigid based off last year (which is what I'm doing) is faulty; the offense last year had no offensive line, and a quarterback with no experience thrust into the starting role with Ash's injury.

But I cant get last year out of my mind, that is those plays where Swoopes was not allowed to run the zone read, at all. The few plays he ran it were in the OU game, then it was gone. Maybe they told him not to run fearing injury? Whatever it was, and with all the limitations they faced, I saw an offense last year that was entirely too unimaginative. And thus the rigid comment.

I can not argue that. I think the offensive side seemed to almost concede at times. Offense it much different this year, so we shall see. I think you saw a bit of Traylors influence in the spring game. Now that Texas has a 2 deep, I think we can start to make dome real opinions on the staff.

IF Miller transfers, it will be to a school where he is guaranteed to start. Why would he leave Ohio State, where he is competing for a starting spot for Alabama, where he would also have to compete for a starting spot on top of learning a new system? Doesn't make much sense.

If he transfers, it will be to a school like Texas, where they basically have no QB and he could walk right in there and start right away.

Thank you for clearing that up for us. I'm not sure what we would have done without this insightful analysis of the situation.

Glad I could help.

Also, go fuck yourself.

Have a source saying he was at Bama, met with doctors and was cleared. Should join the program.

Thats so weird, my sources said the same thing. Arent our sources just alike??

 

[Mistaken4193]

LOL

I have a source that says he likes turtles.

I can't stand these reckless internet rumors.

I can't stand these reckless internet rumors.

Think how the turtles feel about them.

 

[BamaInHoustonRTR]

Still looking like a go.

 

[bamabear82]

Meh.

Not sure why anyone wouldnt want him. Its like saying i dont need a knight in chess because i have all these other pieces. Every piece helps. If nothing else he can sit on the bench and be a back up. He could also play a sort of 2006 Tim Tebow or 2007 Perriloux role. He doesnt have to be the starting QB to have an impact. He could also be used on the scout team to prepare the defense for spread QBs.

Now if Miller isn't guaranteed the starting job why would he transfer?

 

[BamaInHoustonRTR]

Because he thinks he can beat out the competition. Which is also a possibility. I was clearly looking at the worst case scenarios which are still good.

I have a source that says he likes turtles.

So he is going to Maryland.

Miller at Bama would destroy teams.

With the overall talent there, they would kill the will of teams, by rushing them to death. Play old school football.

 

[Shanemansj13]

I think he is staying.
