I remember suggesting Alaimo had to be questioning a transfer after O'Connell announced his return. I was essentially laughed at. Not so funny now...
Burton hasn't thrown a pass yet. I doubt that had any impact on Alaimo's decision...
Burton will be the likely #2. Alaimo would have likely held that role but for Burtons return.
You really believe Alaimo wouldn't have beaten out Burton? If not, I guess Alaimo isn't much of a loss.
Hopefully Allen turns out differently than Alaimo...if not, we're in trouble after O'Connell is gone, unless we get a really good transfer QB...
really disappointing to me, being an East Coast guy I was really excited when we got him and I thought he was going to be really good for us. With 4 yrs of elligibility left he'll be good elsewhere. He's a winner.
There was question as to whether he would hold off Allen in this year's pecking order.
Alaimo must have see. The writing ok the wall. If Allen has a better arm and he doesn’t think he could realistically beat him out, it’s logical that he transfers. Allen is likely the #3 this coming year, but wouldn’t really play a whole lot unless AOC gets hurt.
Which is one of many reasons I said Burton’s return was dumbfounding …
Aiden is a quick processor. And accurate. That’s really all you need.
My kid in high school had all the “in stinks” and football IQ you could ever want in a QB even though he was going to a school with 3000 students and lots of competition. His junior year I was watching practice and noticed the sophomore transfer QB. I offered to send my kid to the local Catholic high school if he wanted to start at QB after that one day. It was obvious he’d never be better than backup. Maybe it’s the same situation here.
I took it as Brady Allen must be looking ahead of the curve since he stepped foot on campus.
If Burton could do something don’t you think you would have seen a pass from him past the LOS?
Maybe, guys improve, he will surely get some reps in spring game, have to see
Actually insiders say he is throwing the ball “ like a freshman” in winter drills. So I wouldn’t consider that ahead of the curve.
Interesting. (I always love the info from "insiders".)
Maybe the insiders are those who catch his passes everyday for the last 4 weeks. And while yea he should still be in HS ( even though his last season was a few months ago) I can assure you he is throwing the ball now more than he would be if he was still in high school with his own trainers. And No, he’s not “ahead” of the curve. From the lnsider. Anything else you wanna know?
Yeah I’m good bro. Just enjoyed your “ love info from insiders” comments. Sorry u feel left out.
Dude is going into his sixth year. You would have seen it by now. Oconnell could throw it well in practice a long time ago… know how we know? He moved up from 9th on the depth chart to 3rd highest rates passer in America. If Burton could process and get good throws out, brohm would have pushed it.
