Sarcasm?QB is the one position that held us back for many years. We NEVER got an elite recruit!
On Fields' level, Pryor and Braxton were close, though neither was as strong a passer as Justin.
Zwick, Smith, Henton, Barrett and Haskins were all well regarded recruits. QB development during the Bollman era was spotty, at best, but still gave us a Heisman winner who was money in big games aside from one black eye that was more of an OL problem. Barrett, for all his faults, and Haskins exceeded expectations. There's an argument to made the JT's limitations limited us some during his four years, but that's only because of the insane expectations levied by Buckeye Nation. A look at his stats and record puts him among the top B1G qbs of all time. And Haskins was a phenom whose team was held back by a dodgy defense in his one year.
QB, by and large, has not been as issue at tOSU, aside from a season here or there, for a long time. We're a far cry from _ichigan, Florida or LSU.
