Scouting the Enemy: Ohio State QBs are Good
I was curious to see how the replacement QBs for JT Barrett would fair in their spring game and well, lets just say I think OSU's offense got a bit more dynamic in the QB department.
This also made their WRs look a lot better relatively.
Dwayne Haskins (raises fist in air in anger) went 9/19 120 yards with 2 great throws to Jaylen Harris (25 yards) and Ben Victor (43 yards)
Joe Burrow is giving Haskins a run for his money going 15/22 238 yards with another pair of great throws both to Demario McCall for 50 and 42 yards
Lastly, redshirt freshman Tate Martell seems to be the most JT-like in that he's a great runner but mediocre passer rushing 9 times for 59 yards while completing 5/16 for 28 yards.
Spring game caveats apply, but this year's OSU team is NOT going to be like the past 2 years with either Haskins or Burrow starting.
I hope our safeties are ready come November.
Hello
Shea > all OSU QBs
The dude hasn't taken a snap for Michigan yet. The proclaiming of him as the next coming needs to slow down.
Shit, he's not even eligible yet.
Any good if he's not able to be on the field?
Hopelessness and nihilsm aren't the same at all.
Well, he sort of has. He played 10 games for an SEC team and has some decent stats to show for it.

So did O'Korn
haskins came in down in 3rd quarter on road, in the game and cut us up
and who has shea balled out against that is good? i get ole miss wasn't great, but shea hasn't shown up against a team with a pulse, similar to us in 2017
not trying to be a debbier downer, but shea isn't gonna just save the team, we have alot to improve on
spare me the garbage time yards
Do you think if Chadd Henne was added to this exact Michigan team as the starting QB, that Michigan would be considered the favorite to win the Big Ten east?

but that's beside the point, my response was to the "let's not annoint shea yet" which we as a program like to do at times and that haskins has shown as much or more than shea with what he did against us in november
as i said, we need a lot improvement everywhere to be successful
honestly im most worried about the coaching and tactical play calling after last season (hoping its fixed now) because we have the talent to be very good (including shea)
if we have the greatest quarterback of all time as our qb this year, i would like us to win the east
and no i dont see shea as the heisman front runner, do you?

haskins i think showed alot by winning the game as a true freshmen, down on the road which i think is as impressive as any of shea's accomplishments

i've watched patterson's tape from last year and i saw what i saw. in the end results are what matter and i think winning michigan - osu game trumps most games. i hope youre right and time proves me full of shit

6-7 for 94 yards and 3 carries for 24 yards, one of those scrambles setting up a one yard, go ahead touchdown with a QB rating 97.6 as a true freshmen against a top 5-10 defense on the road in the biggest rivalry in college football (cold off the bench)
a qb rating better than patterson has ever had at the collegiate level (91 his best against South Alabama). The A&M game rating was in the 70s
Lotta manizel highlights of shea running around making plays, doing flashy, impressive stuff. but the best win between these two qbs is osu-michigan IMO. and he led his team to a win, which is the most important stat.

and shea is definitely better than okorn or wilton imo, just not sure about haskins
Below is you post. Haskins wasn't facing the Michigan offense and was, indeed, facing the No. 3 overall defense in the nation and trailing only Bama and Clemson, they certainly were better than anyone else's D in the east. My point being, why make a post indicating he was facing a middle-of-the-road opponent when you know that is far, far away from the truth?
"But Haskins stats came against the...4th...place...team...in...the...B1G...East"
If you're being honest, you would have wrote that you thought MI now had a much greater chance to win the game but the freshman, in the biggest game imaginable, left no doubt who JT's successor would be. He was excellent.
Meyer has a better QB system for college. He just does.
He recruits talented gamers, gives them onre read-and-go, and lets them make plays.
There, I said it.

Agreed.
Also, I'm waaaaay more concerned about our OL than our QB. I'm fine with any of the QBs tbh as long as our OL can play at a level equal to the rest of the position groups on the team.
I'm judging based on their play. I simply have seen more of Shea at Ole miss than OSU QBs play live. Haskins throwing couple of good passes does not make him Tom Brady. Lets see how he handles rigors of B1G play and getting hit. JT for all his short comings took punishment and got up and ran again; not all QBs have that mentality.
Sometimes I think about responding to inane drivel like your post. Then, I think of what a pathetic hollow shell of a human being that one must be to not only actively monitor, but sign up for a board dedicated to a rival's team and do nothing but troll like a petulant child. At that point, I feel too genuinely sorry for you and your kind to tear into you, and just let your sad cry for attention go.

Projecting a QB's output based on a spring game is up there with sticking your pecker into a moving airplane propeller in terms of wise ideas.
Peters got robbed blind, my friend. Baker Mayfield was absolute trash in Oklahoma's 2017 spring game (11/20, 0 TD, 1 INT). I have no idea how he won it, it's a complete mystery to me. There must have been something shady going on.
