Like I said before, Braxton is hands down the best athlete of the group. Hell, he's the best athlete on the team and his future in the NFL figures to be as an athlete, not a QB. Picture him doing the kind of stuff Julian Edelman does for the Pats (Edelman played QB at Kent State). This year, I think Urban finds ways to get the ball to Braxton in space and show off those kind of skills, while terrorizing opposing defenses.
Barrett beat Cardale out for the starting spot last year and if 100% healthy, which looks like a sure thing, many think he'll do it again. JT is incredibly efficient, makes the right reads, is an accurate thrower and he never gets flustered. The kid is just an amazing leader and his teammates love him.
Cardale has the greatest physical tools. Has a cannon for an arm and he runs over linebackers. The most remarkable thing about the Bucks run to the title was the fact that Cardale was unfazed by any of it. No stage was too big. Another way of looking at it, however, is that he was playing with house money. Nobody expected him to perform like he did and many thought they'd struggle against even Wisconsin. Now, he has to compete for the spot and I wonder if he might start to feel pressure that was somehow not there against Alabama and Oregon?
If I were to bet, I'd put it on JT. Bottom line, however, is that Urban will find ways to use all three. Whoever starts is likely to take a huge lead into the locker room at half time of most games. Urban will then "call off the dogs" and go with #2 in the second half. That's when the score will get completely out of hand.
Nice problem to have.
