His is the only opinion that counts, now or in a year, so no it's not "as relevant as anyone else's". Meyer sees JT every day and knows JT's improvement and still says Miller is the starter.

nope. which is why i think JT will be the starter next year.
your Broncos reference is noted. my rebuttal is that Peyton Manning doesn't have the injury history of #5.
Braxton has never played an entire season, going all the way back to high school.
twenty months. less than two years, i'll admit. significantly more than one year though:
JT took part of 2013 winter conditioning. #5 didn't.
JT took reps in spring 2013. #5 didn't.
JT participated in the 2013 summer drills. #5 didn't.
JT took reps in fall 2013. #5 was very limited.
JT is the starter this season. #5 is in a sling.
JT will take part of winter conditioning in 2014. #5 won't.
JT will take reps in spring 2014. #5 won't.
JT will participate in 2014 summer drills. #5 won't.
JT will take reps in fall 2014. #5 might.
that's an awful lot of reps that JT is getting instead of #5.
Devin Smith, Evan Spencer, Jeff Heuerman, and Tyler Decker are all seniors.
there aren't a whole lot of juniors at the skill positions.
next year, JT will have taken the majority of the reps with Corey Smith, Michael Thomas, Dontre Wilson and Ezekiel Elliot.
next year, JT will have taken ALL the reps with Curtis Samuel, Johnny Dixon, Marcus Baugh, Jalin Marshall, Parris Campbell, James Clark, and Noah Brown.
that's the chemistry i'm talking about. JT will have it. #5 will not. plain and simple. it's a whole new group of skill players. ones that Braxton will have taken virtually zero reps with for 20 months. meanwhile, JT will have been taking reps with that group for 20 months.

This Braxton vs. JT conversation is all conjecture and is about as meaningful as a pimple on a sad dog's ass, by the way. No one can predict the future. As such, no one can begin to make any sort of reasonable guess about how it plays out until August 2015.
I mean, you can have fun guessing all you want, but none of it will be based in reason or fact.

I can plant four rows of corn in my garden next year, and while I cannot guarantee a crop, due to floods, drought, pestilence, etc, I can make a reasonable guess that corn, and not tomatoes, will grow in those four rows.
Using 'one cannot predict the future' to qualify and set parameters on 'one cannot make a reasonable guess' of the future' is the fallacy.
One does not follow the other.

But you're essentially saying that only JT can get better, and are really just using your own made up world. Is it possible that Braxton is just a completely different QB mentally when it comes to being able to read a defense and run the offense next year? I mean, from a mental standpoint he'll be 2 years more advanced from the last time we saw him. And we all know JT can't do what Braxton can do with his legs. And if Braxton still has his arm strength, that's another thing he's got over JT. It's really not much of a stretch that he will be the better college QB next year. Unless you just assume that we will see an improved redshirt sophomore JT next year and compare him in your head to what you saw last year from Braxton as a junior.

Your logic is so profound that I suddenly don't feel any need to continue participating in this captivating conversation. But thanks for setting me straight.
