re: Barnett is transferring

QB is as much a leadership position as a physical aptitude one. His demeanor and mannerisms every time I have watched him doesn't exactly scream "leader" to me. To be honest, he strikes me as a guy scared to death out there who's shy of getting hit.

Troy Aikman transferred from Oklahoma to UCLA. Jake Coker was successful after transferring from FSU to Bama. Russell Wilson transferred from NC ST to Wisconsin. Nick Foles left MSU to go to Arizona. Even Ryan Mallet (as skankish as he was) had success at Arky after leaving Michigan. Those are just a few off top of my head. I'm sure there are more.

The fact that he transferred doesn't mean he won't be successful elsewhere. He didn't look scared to get hit to me. He looked scared to make a mistake and, as a result, the game looked too fast for him at times. I'd bet he will go somewhere and play at a fairly high level. He'll get drafted one day too, I'd be willing to bet.

I hate when he left, but if you don't want to be here, I'd rather you leave now so we can move forward with those who do instead of you stay and possibly poison the team with an attitude issue.
