Yet Burrows out-threw Haskins in the long ball competition. Although Haskins might have a slight edge in ball velocity
Thats great to win a competition during an exhibition. But I'm talking about in games. I believe coaches have even said that Haskins has the strongest arm. Being compared to Cardale Jones says a lot! I haven't seen that comparison once about Burrow from the staff or players. He's almost always compared to Barrett. And I'm not knocking Burrow, but Haskins has the arm on the team that can go deep

I've always been impressed with Burrow's arm strength, at least since his HS days, so maybe I'm just biased - but I feel that people credit Haskins for having great arm strength mostly based on the velocity he puts on the ball.
Based on HS film at least, I still believe that Burrow's deep ball is the best on the team. Not that my opinion is worth anything to anyone of significance.
Also, it's kind of a moot point since few offenses are built around the long ball.

there's losing your spot then there is working your way back into the rotation. He might be medically cleared but the bone might have some lasting affects that they want to be cautious about.

I am weirdly comfortable when Joe is on the field. For some reason I do not fear a big mistake and he has not really played all that much. I think it's his body language and how he goes about the game but I'm really really hoping that hand gets 100% very soon.

Well, as of today, with the performance at Rutgers, Joe has thrown 28-34 over his career, for 82%. Yes, it's always been garbage time, but that comfortable feeling you get when he is in there is because he always looks sharp.

Definitely my #2 QB on the team. Haskins has a great arm but a lot of growing to do.

The future of Ohio State's QB room: Joe Burrow has no current plans to transfer while Dwayne Haskins leads the way
Ari Wasserman 15 hours ago
While J.T. Barrett was on the turf Saturday at Michigan Stadium after suffering his knee injury, Dwayne Haskins and Joe Burrow both warmed up on Ohio State's sideline. There was a moment of suspense as we waited to see which backup quarterback was going to get the chance to lead the Buckeyes in a crucial moment in the most crucial game of the regular season.
There was no suspense from Haskins or Burrow. Both knew Haskins was the backup.
After Haskins replaced Barrett in the third quarter with Ohio State trailing by a touchdown and led the Buckeyes to a dramatic win over their rival, he said he has been taking the majority of the reps with the second team and has basically known all year he's the backup quarterback.
A lot of minds shifted to Burrow: Is he transferring?
As of right now, no.
“At this time, Joe is focused on helping the Buckeyes win the Big Ten championship and plans on competing for the starting quarterback position in the spring,” Burrow's father, Jimmy, the defensive coordinator at Ohio University, told The Athletic on Sunday evening.
That could mean anything right now. Perhaps Burrow's plan is to come into the spring where there can be a full-fledged competition, gauge the situation and then transfer before summer if he doesn't like his placement. But as of right now, Burrow, the team's No. 3 quarterback, doesn't have any plan to leave the program.
