One thing that those vehemently defending BB keep talking about is how great he is.
I was pulling for him to win the competition this year, even over Hurts. The problem is in everything I watched (2 A-Days, Practices, and game time) he never looked the part. He's always seemed in over his head, and not the best decision maker.
As a matter of fact, he was given every opportunity to be "the guy" during fall camp. His starting against USC, and there are a few others that may be able to corroborate this, was honestly a move to see if the switch flipped under the lights. It didn't. Hurts was better in practice, and in games, and the team/coaches/people who watched practice saw.
Even after Hurts proved himself, the staff STILL gave BB chance after chance. He never could find any sort consistency in practice or games. That was obvious last Saturday when he came in with the 1's and just couldn't find much success.
So to say the only reason people are upset is due to his talent is ludicrous. He's yet to show much of anything to be upset about leaving. People are upset, as I and others have said, that he quit on his teammates. He left 84 (plus walkons) guys high and dry, in a bind if we have injuries, and to pick up his slack because he lacks the chest to stick it out until December.
Sounds a lot like Gunner Kiel...
