What if Braxton Miller transfers to Oregon?
- Thread starter CoachJeff
- Start date
Meyer is trying to convince Braxton to stay, but I doubt that it works. His passing stats looked fine until Barrett got going. Miller is the better runner, but not by much. Barrett is a far better passer. I just don't see Miller as the starter next year unless Barrett gets hurt.
Miller believes that he can play in the NFL, and he knows that he needs to start somewhere next year for that to happen. I just don't see him at OSU next season. Of the teams mentioned in this thread, the one running an offense most conducive to mutual success would be Auburn. But Miller is also injury prone and I wonder if he could stand up to the beatings that he would take in the SEC. If I were in his shoes, I would look to Oregon - mostly because he won't take a pounding and he would almost certainly start there next year.
Not sure why anyone would go to FSU right now. That place is a sewer.

He could come to Bama we could use a practice player to give us a good look for those spread teams.
I really don't think Florida will be an option, if he's smart. New coach means team in transition, which rarely translates to immediate success.
He won't go to an SEC school if there's an option such as Oregon where the defensive competition will not be as tough.

Looking at depth charts between Auburn and the other schools mentioned, it make sense. I think Auburn has their QB for next year already queued up.
When I did my breakdown of where I thought he might go, Auburn was one that was intriguing...but not going to happen. People are calling for Jeremy Johnson to start NOW, and if something was to happen to keep him off the field (i.e. Mariotta) he would transfer and derail the Barn's "future". So they aren't really a candidate.
Those were my thoughts also. He will go to B1G West and play where he will feel more comfortable.
C'mon, cut the quack(er) some slack. Braxton Miller might be transferring to Oregon, as in the state, not necessarily transferring to Zer-O-gon, as in the football NC-less university. Why, he would probably be the instant starter at QB for Willamette, the NAIA school over in Salem.
they are... His dad will ask Phil Knight for $250k plus a job, Mississippi State will offer $180k
but he will chose Auburn because...
it's just a lovely campus even with the cow patty smell
its a God Thing
and they be Fambly
Oregon would be Miller's best option. His ego will take a hit though if he chooses to leave OSU.
If he's smart, he won't come to the SEC. I would think he would get exposed here (or at least "think" he would) -- or -- a good spin on it -- FSU would be a great place to showcase his talents against of course, the ACC. Though personally, I would love to see him come to the SEC. He seems to be a good kid. Heck why not Alabama? Oh yeah we don't know how to take dual-threat QB's here.
Well, I think it would probably be good for his NFL aspirations but it wouldn't really help Oregon tremendously. It would still be a downgrade at QB not only in talent but in experience. And that's assuming he would stay healthy. It wouldn't hurt Oregon, but I also don't think that having Miller would put them in the national championship.
Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens. Sorry, Braxton, that's a dumb question... skip that. :biggrin2:
If oregonblizkrieg says they choked, i think we need to give him the benefit of the doubt. He's seen Oregon choke enough to be a SME on choking.
From what I have read and heard, the barn won't lose much when NM graduates; JJ may be a fraction of a step slower than NM and maybe not quite as quick but he is a lot bigger and has a much better arm. BM ain't going to the barn.
Frankly, I'm not sure why JJ hasn't played more than he has.
This. There's not a team in the country that would catapult into NC favorite just because he went there.
