Wisconsin was the right choice for Brissett...neither UM or UF would of been the best option to get him to the NFL. Would of RS behind Wilson for a year then likely been a 4 year starter as there was no one up there who could challenge him.
4 years for a prospect of his ability level to develop in a major conf like the big ten....for sure he would get a shot in the NFL.
Made the wrong choice and will transfer....fight to get two years at some lower tier program, learning a new offense.....he is up against it now to get a shot at the NFL, if he went to Wisky he woulda walked onto an NFL roster.
He would have been playing for his 3rd Offensive Coordinator, next fall at Wisky. That doesn't do much for a QBs development. Brissett was very raw coming out of HS. He could of came to UM, and had an opportunity to be a 2 year starter here.
Wasnt raw coming out of HS relative to the other top QBs in the country, had offers from the top SEC and ACC programs, physically has it all.
Your own logic should tell u being a 4 year guy at a more highly rated program that plays in BCS bowl games is better than possibly being a 2 year guy at UM, playing in no BCS bowls and after the fact no bowl games.
He gets to learn from Russell Wilson at Wisky.....he gets to learn from Harris here, which would u prefer to learn from as a model for a QB?
Russell Wilson and Colin Kaepernick played 50 games in college......neither were pro prospects after two years as a starter.
RGIII played over 40 games in college....after two years as a starter he was perceived as a WR prospect. Look at those three guys now, experience, years as the unchallenged starter developed them enough to get them a long look from scouts and a shot at the NFL.
Manziel would be a back up behind Mariota right now, Bridgewater would be a back up behind Morris.....they both made good decisions. Bridgewater is already a pro prospect with 26 games of experience under his belt.
The best thing a QB with pro aspirations can do for himself is pick the best program where you have a good chance to start 3-4 years.
Big programs load up on top HS QBs to serve their own interests not the interest of the individual QB.....young QBs quite often are not mindful of this when choosing a program.
