Missouri star wide receiver Luther Burden III tells ESPN he’s entering the NFL Draft. He’s Mel Kiper Jr.’s No. 19 overall player. “We’re just getting started,” he said.

I look forward to the offseason stories about this season's offense.

I expected more from Burden, but maybe defenses shifted to shut him down and Moore could not adjust. I suspect we will see some reporting on it.

I don’t think anyone is surprised. It is the best decision for him and it’s good for us getting someone drafted in the 1st round 2 years in a row.

Hopefully Wease stays and plays in the bowl game

No. It has to do with Cook's lack of deep throws. Now it is time to get a quarterback that can throw downfield. That is how to open up the lanes and routes for both running backs and wide receivers. .Plus, the quarterback needs to have speed to move out of the pocket and make the throw or run.

One of the many glaring red flags about Moore was his inability to scheme LB touches.

I felt like his body language was off for the last game because of the lack of touches. Maybe that's just me.

Some blame him. Was gonna be his last home game. Dumb as hell they didn’t even try giving him some direct handoffs or sweeps.

Luther Burden will be missed. He and Theo Wease are clutch players that will do well at the next level. It is amazing to think back on all the 3rd down or 4th down and long conversions these guys made.

He's not playing in the bowl game, right?

His immaturity is his biggest weakness and every NFL team saw it on display every week......remember 2nd and 59?

The kid has a ton of talent and is usually automatic if the ball touches his hands so the talent is there.
