Here's a link that is pretty good comparing Barret to Swoopes. Both were highly regarded by Texas. We likely would have offered Barret had Swoopes not committed. Swoopes vs Barret It's a tough call. Barret is more polished according to the experts, but Swoopes supposedly has more upside. Me? I don't know nothing, amigo.
Thanx RV, I appreciate it. I guess Barrett is what you get when your new off. coord. comes out of Texas.
Shark, who's the new OC up there? As for Barrett, he's the real deal. He's got a very good arm, and he has the legs to get out of trouble and make a positive out of a negative play. We'd have loved to have both him and Swoopes, but had to go with one or the other.
This is a very good year for high school Qb's in the state of Texas... not sure Texas could have done better in Kohl, Barrett, etc... but I do like Swoops upside!
