Not sure this is registering with most people. Whether he comes back is huge …
First, I think it’s best if Burton and Plummer move on. Plummer may find a better situation for himself and we honestly don’t need to see another year of him just operating slower than what we need at that position. It just flat out takes him too long to process. I think he looks like he wants to move on as well and I hope the best for him.
second, this team, even without Bell and George, is set up to be a deep established talented team that can do some things. We don’t need to mix that with a brand new QB getting comfortable over the course of the first however many games.. and if it is alaimo we don’t need to be one injury from Brady Allen as a true freshman or god knows what else would be behind alaimo.
third, if Oconnell comes back we will maximize the results of the rest of the roster .. be that George and David (fat chance) or not. And then alaimo gets one more year to watch and grow and come in first if Oconnell hits the bench with a big lead and all of that.. before he has to step into the fire.
this to me is almost as big as George or David deciding to come back. And I’m not sure everyone is realizing that.
