Dick Harmon sums up the QB situation in spectacularly bad fashion:
You could liken this BYU quarterback issue to a famous hamburger joint. In this regard, it's simple and clear what you have to do.
You have a famous maker of hamburgers known throughout the country for the special taste of the recipe that takes ground up meat, mixes it up with garlic, special spices and seasonings and sauce. Aged and prepared just so, the owners set this slab among a slice of onions, tomatoes, lettuce and pickles and it's a doggone good brand.
A couple of weeks ago, an expert connoisseur of this brand, ESPN vice president of programming Dave Brown, told a world wide audience that this BYU brand was famous, heck it was down right renowned, respected, celebrated and legendary. He said this BYU tradition of QBs was appealing, attractive and delicious and his company wanted to hook up with that kind of reputation for eight years.
Now, this brand, this burger, isn't a wrap. It isn't a taco. It isn't even a foot-long hotdog. No matter how you substitute other ingredients, it fails to be The Burger, if it leaves the recipe.
No matter how you tweak BYU's quarterback position to fit one particular guy on the roster, it cannot become the brand if it doesn't have the same basic ingredients and recipe.
For the better part of two months, Anae and Doman have tried to deliver the consumer and the company employees a hybrid brand, one-part traditional burger and one part taco.
It doesn't meet the taste test.
It's ended up making the French fries taste stale, the pickle is out of place and the employers are as confused and frustrated as the consumer. Mr. Brown must wonder what he signed up for, that famous burger or a wrap-co.Comment

He needed to spend more time explaining the analogy to help it really hit home.Originally posted by YOhio View PostComment

The worst part is he plagiarized his horrible analogy from HB Arnett. HB similarlly used a nonsensical food to QB comparison in his newsletterOriginally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostComment

Harmon should have been fired by the editor upon turning in his cafeteria menu as an article.Comment

I don't think its so bad. I happen to agree with Dick. I don't want my burger in a tortilla!
Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.
Dig your own grave, and save!

Blaspheme. That’s like saying you’ve had an ice cream sundae because you once had ice cream and have tasted chocolate and caramel on separate occasions.Originally posted by falafel View Post
Go have yourself one for lunch. It'll only cost you, like a $1.50.Comment
