After chewing on this awhile, I don’t want Burrow to come to UF. I don’t think I’ve cornered the market on analysis, but here’s why:
Del Rio, Appleby, Zaire. The history isn’t good. Burrow may be a decent QB but I don’t think we want to settle for “maybe decent”. The patch-job approach to QB hasn’t worked. Burrow isn’t Russell Wilson or even Will Grier.
We may be so hungry that a can of Chef Boyardee is looking pretty good, and we liked it as kids so why not? But we are likely to feel sick afterwards. And it isn’t like we didn’t have that recently so we know better. Take the time to cook up something good.
Whatever Franks and/or Trask do or don’t do, I’d rather take the longer view with them, Jones & Jones and whoever else they recruit. Bringing in a transfer with 2 years of eligibility could disrupt their development & recruiting. That potential cost isn’t worth the potential benefit, unless he’s going to win us an SEC. Does anyone think that? Anyone?
