You'll have to direct me to where I mentioned Cam Burnette in this discussion.FUBeAR wrote: ↑Fri Feb 01, 2019 6:49 pmC'mon now...you don't want me bringing over your many, many glowing (near slobbering) mentions of Mr. Burnette on AGS, such as the one below, just to prove my point. You had a major BroMance over him and now the best you can say is that he is "a good player." It's OK. Your blind passion as a Furman Fan is what FUBeAR loves most about you!The Jackal wrote: ↑Fri Feb 01, 2019 3:06 pmYou can’t even write about hyperbole without hyperbole.FUBeAR wrote: ↑Fri Feb 01, 2019 1:44 pmBe careful Jackal.The Jackal wrote: ↑Fri Feb 01, 2019 1:04 pmGrainger was a high school WR who converted to QBcavedweller2 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 01, 2019 11:16 amThe most popular player on a football team is the back up Quarterback or in this case the QB that is not even on the team. I for one dont have the sky is falling mentality toward our QB situation. I saw in Bradley a raw talent with the potential to be really good. He throws a strong accurate ball and is mobile. The OL is going to be more experienced and he will have time to throw this year. The coaches know what they have. I think everyone is going to be pleasantly surprised at our QB play this year. If I'm wrong I'm wrong, but I am not wrong.
You know another kid that was a high school WR that converted to QB and threw for 2,000+ yards and 17 touchdowns in his only year as a full time starter? Armanti Edwards. Virtually everyone that recruited him wanted him to play WR.
Cam Burnette was pretty much on Julio Jones level from your descriptions before he departed & now he’s just a “good player.”
Now, FUBeAR wouldn’t suggest you are prone to a bit of purple-tinted hyperbole, but others might.
My point is that before everyone looks for a new QB, lets see what the kid that the coaches are so high on has first.
"Remember that kid's name. I've watched a lot of Furman football, and he is as impressive a freshman receiver as I can remember. Furman has produced a bunch of really good shifty smaller slot guys, but Burnette is 6'2 and can pick it. I imagine he will terrorize defenses for a long while."
Burnette is a good player. I think he'd be a really good player for Furman, but he doesn't want to play for Furman, so he'll go be a really good player for someone else.
