I have to say maybe there is more going on here. Cant see that it would be that big a deal for Coley and AG to offer him as an ATH, but tell him they will give him a shot at QB to see how he does. Maybe they are afraid of chasing off Kaaya if Treon is running around saying he is committed to playing QB here? The other thing I wonder about, is Ice Harris and the complicated relationship we have with BTW and the Harris clan. Maybe AG feels its too much of a risk, if Treon ends up feeling like he didnt get enough of a fair shake at QB, or we end up with a QB controversy, that the potential trouble with Ice Harris and at BTW is not worth the headache.
Im not sayin Treon is that kind of kid to deliberately start sh*t, but he's a local kid, tight with a LOT of the guys we have coming in. We COULD theoretically end up with one of those QB controversies, which ends up becoming a proxy fight, where all the local kids are feeling like Treon should be the QB, while others dont, and you end up with a divided locker room. Remember the Ryan Collins mess. There was a bit of that with Jacory too when Marve was struggling.
I just think there is more going on here than just saying "look we will let you have a shot at QB, and if it doesnt work out, we want you at DB". Because after all, what do we lose there? As long as we are honest with him, and he's ok with moving if he cant make it at QB, we still gain a great athlete. And if he DOES break through at QB, then we have a great weapon at QB.
