He was passed by a true freshman and played little. The writing was on the wall. I think he likely he had a sit down with Coach and decided to move on but I could be wrong.
"Trying not to rush to judgement, but it seems in a nutshell BB is a coward..." Rush meet judgment.
First, he never named a starter in that game. The game plan all along was to give each 2 series and then go with the guy that looked best at that point. Barnett clearly looked overwhelmed while Hurts looked in control. Neither had done anything, but one clearly looked better than the other. And Barnett had chances in that game and the next to show that he really wasn't overwhelmed, but failed to do so until garbage time in the last game.
And I would think being from California weighed into the decision. He was highly touted, he's young, probably having some issue's that we don't know about. I hope anyone over the age of 40 would not say things like "I hope he never plays another down again". Way over the top. And I am sure that same person would not say the same thing if it was his son. I think we should wait before crucifying him. I think it is a mental thing.
Yes, I would. I have never allowed my boys to quit anything for a reason. Quitting is hard the first time that you do it, but it gets easier and easier as you do it again and again. Quitters are quitters for life.
Fair enough but we have no way of knowing what he was hearing from the staff. We have a highly rated QB coming in next year and that might have played a part.
Are you still bitter after him not playing more after the first two games?
How can he go JUCO now? I suspect it's too late to enroll in classes.
