QB commit Ryan Burns has probably paid the highest price for not being Andrew Luck. Nobody else among the 5 billion or so human beings on the planet is blamed for not being Andrew Luck, but Burns certainly seems to be. Not accurate, misses the passes in game situations, overrated... it goes on from there. The latest knock: Burns is not attending the Elite 11 high school QB showcase/competition. First we obsessed that he wasn't invited, hence, not good enough. Silly Stanford coaches. Then we learned Burns declined the invitation because of an earlier commitment to work out with HS teammates on the same dates. So...is he a great guy who puts t-e-a-m first, or a guy who is afraid to compete with the elite to be the best?
On Rivals new gunslinger in town Andy Drukarev got an interview with Trent Dilfer, a former pro QB who runs the Elite 11 camp/competition. Dilfer says "Relax". Burns is way ahead of a lot of elite QBs physically but suffers from lack of actual game experience. Only one way to get that...play football.
Good read, but his sucking up to Stanford coaching staff is worth a chuckle. "Pep (Hamilton) and Dave (Shaw), nobody in the country trains the position better at the college level. "  Really, Trent? Really?
A good, free read.Â
