I don't know if that's true. He's had back-to-back great games and is playing like the complete terror he is. Still, I think there are some things he needs to work on before going to the NFL. He's still struggling at times as a drop back passer, and that would be a big deal obviously if he went in the draft. The arm is obviously there and that would attract a lot of teams, but I'm not sure he'd get more than a 3rd round look right now. Just depends on what he wants/needs right now.

I think it also comes down to what happens at the end of this year. If they get in the NC game and win, probably a good chance he leaves. If they have a loss and go to the Rose Bowl, or lose in the NC game, I generally think he'd come back.

EDIT: Also forgot that there are a lot of guys projected above him: Bridgewater, Manziel, Mariota, Boyd, Hundley, McCarron, Mettenberger, Murray, Carr, Morris. This doesn't necessarily mean they'd all get drafted above Miller, but that's a decent amount of QBs.

I would be quite stunned if Braxton left after this year. Yes he's been playing out of his mind the last 2 games but that comes on the heels of a disaster at NW and missing 3 games with a tweaked knee. Braxton would be a late round project. If he comes back continues to dominate and shows he can stay healthy next year he'll be 2nd at minimum.

You think his play at NU was a disaster? I disagree. He made plays when we needed him and I think the NFL scouts will look at that positively. Late round project? No way. He's at worst a 4th round pick and at best, a late first/early second.

His injury history will scare off a number of teams.. and outside of a couple of drives in the 4th.. it was. NU was won because of Hyde & the Oline.. not Braxton. I love the kid and wish him nothing but the best, I think it will be a mistake if he leaves early.
