Brock Osweiler Rumors: Quarterback Could Possibly Leave ASU, Maybe

PrintBrock Osweiler is tall. He's also a 4,000 yard passer, a guy who was heartbroken when his favorite coach in the world, Noel Mazzone, was not offered the head coaching position at Arizona State after the firing of Dennis Erickson.
Rumors on the internet are a funny thing, with ESPN recruiting analysts (among many others) pontificating on the future of ASU's tall, soon-to-be-senior quarterback. Might he be interested in leaving Tempe for other playing venues? That's always a possibility, as he is a free man with a unique skill set and the ambition to do what feels right for himself and his future.
The Pac-12 South is reloading and ASU has only six home games on the schedule. While the Sun Devils avoid Stanford and Washington again in 2012, they still face Illinois, Missouri, USC and Oregon.
Osweiler is a positive influence on the team, undoubtedly, but whether or not Osweiler leaving ASU ever comes to fruition (and we want you to stay, Brock), it wouldn't be the end of the world if he did -- but it would absolutely hurt ASU's chances next season at any sort of run to the Pac-12 Championship Game.
It also would say a lot about the changes that are sweeping across Tempe. Hopefully this is just a rumor, as we need Brock in 2012.

Don't let him go!
The guys is a classy leader with serious talent. Graham ought to make it job one to keep him and build around him. Heck if Graham can get the team headed back in the right direction, like he has several times before (Tulsa, Rice) you guys should be just fine with Brock as the leader, while his understudy gets ready to take over.
If he's going to go, he's gone ...
I’d love to see Brock stick around one more year, but I can understand his desire to leave. He was close to Mazzone since he flourished under his guidance. Next season we’ll be lucky to see a lower tier bowl game and with a new system coming in, Brock would be lucky to have better numbers than he did this year. Graham won’t build around him; rather he’ll institute a system and recruit players to fit it. In the end, I think it would be best for Brock to go pro while he still has some stock in the draft. Another season at ASU would probably only hurt him in the 2013 draft.
