Bir is a good qb. Very accurate passer. Extremely accurate...doesn't make stupid mistakes. If he has a little more arm strength, which I am sure he will have at his arsenal next year, he will be scary good.

That's great for Bir, i agree if he can build in some arm strength, he'll be very good

[GetChili]

Congrats to him!

[McCameraMan]

Congrats to the young man

[Bird4Life]

Donovan McCoy will have better stas than Bir and be a better qb next year.

Donovan McCoy will have better stas than Bir and be a better qb next year.

Bir has two more years of starting experience. That goes a long way, look at Pat Towles' development. Bir will be a very exciting player next year. I think a lot of his OLine and speedy weapons are leaving him though. If Cov Cath can support him with some talent he could get past Highlands.

PS Bir is more of a passer, McCoy is more of a runner that passes sometimes.

CovCath isn't beating Highlands in at least the next couple of seasons. I don't care who their QB is.

Congrats but there are probably 50 Jrs.In the state that got that invite. I know of 5 from the southern Ky area.

where could i find this roster for army all american bowl

It's nice being on the roster for the combine, but it doesn't mean you get in. Look at Towles who is a third team ESPN All-American and was not invited to play. Apparently 42 TD's and only one pick wasn't enough to get it done. Good luck to Mr. Bir, who is by the way a very good quarterback.
