From what I've seen of Burton, I wouldn't want him throwing the ball at all. I love him as a big back, H back, wildcat back, but not ever throwing the ball. Kid can motor too, but NO to throw.
Oh and as for his mini-debate with Chipper Jones... Jones is a good Gator. He didn't play ball for us cause, duh, he was a top 10 pick with big bucks. We all would've done the same.
Where is Chipper from? I always thought he was a died in the wool georgia boy.
I like Burton...I think he's a good player and probably a great leader. It's hard to not want him on the field. As others have pointed out, due to his in between size concerning positions, I see him being more of a formation package type player...not an every down. We are loaded at RB, which would be the most probable position for him to play other than running the Wildcat. Again, that's a formation package. I don't know where he fits in now other than Wildcat and special teams.
Yes, when he first arrived on campus. Not impressive. You may notice that the coaches don't have him throw when he's in the wildcat. I don't know if he's worked on his throwing since then, perhaps so, but from what I saw, he can't throw.

Sure he can throw it, he was just a little wide left on the throw to his brother...
It is not desirable to cultivate a respect for the law, so much as for the right....
Law never made men a whit more just; and, by means of their respect for it,
even the well-disposed are daily made agents of injustice.
Pease and Phillips might do wonders with the kid, Burton too. A second year with a dynamite OC and a good staff just might shock a few people around here. It's been quite awhile since we've had much year to year progress. Almost forgot what it's like myself.
Trey plays a number of positions so its hard to identify what he actually is. Defenses are called sometimes on formation sometimes on personnel its hard to identify what Trey is so it gives people problems. Trey does everything well but nothing elite thats why he has that role.
I think some people just think about when Trey is in the wildcat. Trey is a bigger and reads blocks better than Driskel that is the reason he is put in the wildcat. If you notice Florida goes to the Jumbo package and the wildcat in the first half for a few plays. If the staff sees that the opposition is having trouble with their run fits in either of those packages they come back to it in the 2nd half and give a heavy dose of it. If the other team shows they are gap sound and not confused we might not even see it in the 2nd half.
The wildcat is a terrible play, and by wildcat I mean designed QB run, that is known by the entire world. Now of course since it is known by the world it is run not by a QB. The play has one advantage, which is actually why it worked with Tim, and that is short yardage. The D actually has numbers after the first couple yards, but the O has numbers at the LOS. This only works better in spread formations.
I'm not sure what position Burton should play, but Wildcat should be limited. Personally he should be a WR/TE hybrid and should be motioned into the QB position (Wildcat) for when we run to run out of a spread set in short yardage.
Burton is a terrible passer and that is the main reason why the wildcat is ineffective. The lack of a threat of a pass is why the wildcat is ineffective across the board honestly.
That doesn't mean it doesn't have it's use. It does. It just needs to be used right.
The wildcat with Tre was real ineffective when he took to the house at UT or ran for a huge gain against UGA. If the blocking is executed it can be effective and it is always something additional for teams to prepare for.

You know Burton threw for over 1,800 yards in HS one year with 18 TDs? ( while rushing for 22) I assume you base your "terrible passer" comment on the handful of passes the coaches let him make recently. If you look at some of his film from Venice you will see what a silly comment you made.

Selective memory and results based analysis. Besides UT had a terrible D. We could have had a team of GC posters and we would have put up decent numbers.

At this point who cares about HS? Reminds me of the JB debate. The fact is we don't let him pass much at all when we can have WR literally running free, and his few rare throws are terrible. I'm not bashing the kid, he just isn't a good thrower. Neither are 90% of CFB players.
Maybe he regressed or didn't progress as a passer. It doesn't matter. All evidence since he enrolled at UF points towards him lacking as a passer.

So based on his 4 passing attempts last season, you declare him a terrible passer? Btw, he completed 3 of them. I don't think it is a Trey issue, rather they just don't call passing plays for him. He runs the wildcat.
Chipper is from Deland. Believe he was a UF commit.
As for Purifoy, you don't remember him returning kicks?
Uhhh...Chipper is from Pierson. The Fern Capital of Florida. Not even that close to Deland (the other side of Lake George State Forest). And he didn't sign with Florida because he knew essentially from his Sophomore year he was going to be a first round pick. But he most definitely grew up a huge Gator (one of my best friends is from Pierson and her family is close with the Joneses).
I personally like what Chipper tweeted. Chipper brought it every night for two decades and is headed for the HOF. In my book, he earned the right to give them shit. If the team didn't like it, they should endeavor to play better.
