re: transfer rules. Not quite true. A transfer who's graduated who goes to a school that offers a graduate program that his original school doesn't is exempted from the rule that you have to sit out a year. Thus O'Brien will have two years of eligibility remaining.
Anyway, I thought this was just intriguing enough to post--it all depends on which O'Brien is the "real O'Brien." If you think the real O'Brien is the freshman year one plus the normal progression that college players make, then it's very possible if not probable that he'd be the best QB on the roster. That view has some support owing to the incompetence characterizing the first year of the Edsall administration. If you think the real O'Brien is worse than that then the move probably isn't worth it.
