QB Justin Fields (2019-20 B1G Off POY, 2020 Silver Football, 2019 B1G CCG MVP, New York Jets)

You misspelled JT Barrett.

Cardale and Haskins had to finish two for JT. Troy is the best against scUM ever.

To Date:

• Troy Smith had the best career against TTUN
• Dwayne Haskins had the best single game
  • That performance vs what had been the #1 defense is an all-timer

Going Forward:

• Degree of difficulty is lower for Justin so best game would be tough
• If he has a second year even close to what I expect, he won’t be back for a 3rd, so best career would be tough
• Even if bullets one and two remain true, which seems likely, there’s still a lot of history to be made by Justin Fields

there’s still a lot of history to be made by Justin Fields

That’s my favorite part.

Open letter to Mr. Fields

You want to go down as one of the great QBs of all time at OSU? Kick ichigan's ass.

Sincerely

Hstead

Re-watching The Game '05 today and Troy Smith is the one Fields reminds me of the most.

Except Fields has better tools both running and throwing along with an infinitely better offensive coaching staff.

Running? For sure. I think Smith's arm was stronger....

Maybe. I don't know. I was thinking more in terms of accuracy. Fields 2019 > Troy 2004 imo and that's the only way you can compare them right now.

I think Fields has better control on what he has....I think Smith was enamored with hard/fast/far he could throw it and had to learn to control it....if that makes sense...

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

I think Troy made better decisions. He was decisive and rarely wrong. Fields has gotten better in speeding his decisions up....and his TD/TO ratio is proof that he's no slouch. That's where Troy has a big edge over Fields as it stands today.

  • Smith in 2004, with a team that came in 6-4. 13-23 for 241 with 2 TD and 0 picks and 18 for 145 and 1 TD rushing. I'll put that performance up against any other, including Haskins last year, notwithstanding the "#1" ranking of their 2018 D.

Fields reminds me most of TP, if TP had ever been taught proper throwing mechanics. When you take arm talent into account, JF is probably the most physically gifted QB in OSU history.

That may be true but I always remember Braxton Miller and the incredible way he played. He was outstanding.

I just hope Fields does not have an issue with his Ankle for this game

We’re comparing subtle differences between a Heisman winning senior and a first year winter transfer starting sophomore.

 

[GovTressel]

The most impressive part of Troy’s tenure to me was the depth of talent at WR...long NFL careers 5 deep.


And to the earlier argument...Troy flat balled out in The Game. I love JT, but he played ok in 2014, ok in 15, horrendously in 16 (you couldn’t tell on TV, but there were guys running wide open all game), and poorly in 17.
