Good point and I would be willing to bet that has a small play in his decision but in the end this kid wants to be the starting QB, and have a chance at the NFL. In my opinion, his chances are better at AUburn at this point.
I tend to agree, but in reality, and he may realize this, if you can play the position, they will take you. The team around you and the stats they help you produce don't mean much to the NFL these days.
Think of guys at both extremes. You have Graham Harrell who didn't get drafted after throwing for over 15,000 yds and 134 TDS. Then you have guys like Joe Flacco that played at Delaware or Tony Romo who played at Eastern Illinois.
Ultimately, in my opinion, his NFL status wouldn't be helped or hurt at either school. Hopefully he doesn't feel that way though. Hopefully he thinks he needs to go for the best stats he can get, which, after seeing that Chris Todd set Auburn passing records, would lead him to us.
