Then why the **** did they take so long to offer Treon...who is 3 times the prospect plus a local kid with ties.
****ing mind boggling.
LMAO at Treon being a 3 times better QB prospect.
In no way is he a better QB prospect.
You must be a member of the Harris family.
I'm no fan of Ice...you got the wrong poster.
But while I may not be a huge fan of the Harris family...there is no denying Treon is a baller. And you're missing the point...you take him and give him a shot at QB...if he wins the job great...if not you've got an offensive weapon no matter where you decide to play him.
It's ridiculous that he was offered as a QB this late, especially in a year where they are taking 2 QB's.
And that would all make perfect logical sense if we were talking about Joe Blow QB who wasnt Ice Harris' son. But with that situation its a potential disaster IMO. We dont want another Jacory/Marve situation. You end up with a QB controversy with a kid like Treon, and not only do you have the issue with the family, the school, the community, but you can end up with a divided locker room too. IMO the Treon situation is more headache than its worth. If you told me the kid was a cant miss stud QB, it would be one thing, but I just dont see it. Kid looks 5'10 to me, and a read option/spread type QB all the way. Kind of kid that might make waves somewhere like WVU or one of those gimmick offenses. I dont see a strong arm, and this is a kid who HAS had a lot of coaching and development.
Im not saying I would be unhappy if he ended up coming here, but I fully supported the staff NOT offering him at QB. As for WHY they did so late, well I have had a theory on that too, which was that they decided they wanted to offer a 3rd qb, and felt they had to make the offer to Treon as a formality, knowing he wouldnt take it, so as not to look like they were still ignoring the local kid. The other possibility is that they started feeling the heat locally for not offering him and they threw him the offer to try to tamper down some of the gripes. I dont buy the "the staff is so stupid they just finally realized how awesome of a QB he is" story. The staff knows quite well who Treon is, and Coley has been evaluating him for 2 years. There was a reason they threw him a late offer, and the idea that it was because they suddenly realized he's a great QB they want, is the LEAST likely IMO.
