Who Will Start At QB For tOSU In 2018?

[jwinslow]

Martell's feet are electric, his arm is solid, his passing is solid, his size is bad.
Burrow's feet are good, his arm is good, his passing is good, his size is solid.
Dwayne's feet are weak, his arm is strong, his passing is good, his size is strong.

The feet rating is as a pure runner. Dwayne is solid as a scrambler but weak as a designed runner, much like Cardale (right down to the size)


Haskins already has the spot nearly locked up and Joe's transfer seems inevitable (especially as he'll graduate this year). Haskins also provides the only way to evolve schematically. If Urban has Burrow & Martell (with no Haskins) they can continue to clutch to the QB keeper security blanket.

Haskins also provides a better scheme for Baldwin to grow into. I happen to love Tate, just talking about fit for the QB room.

Urban has been a head coach for 16 years

How many of those 16 have seen him use a pure pocket passing QB and how many have seen him rely on a guy who can run?

2 of his 3 national titles came with QBs who were primarily pocket passers.

As we noted above, Leake lost time to Tebow so he isn't exactly a ringing endorsement of Yrbans affinity for a non runner.

Cardale certainly wasn't the starter by choice, so I'm not sure that tells the story.

Does Bauserman have any eligibility?

I was speaking towards the results...just an interesting fact given his system.

very true

I think Jwins summarized it best, does the offense evolve because of Haskins or does Martell give Urban his safety blanket?

Very unique twist to the QB question.

That goofy fucker could be our all time "come in and do nothing but pass because the starter got knocked out and we are behind" guy.

He could sling it

All QB's need a strong OL. I've heard that Bauserman and Tyson Walter are both petitioning the NCAA.

 

[lvbuckeye]

Haskins has the best arm I've ever seen in the Scarlet and Gray.

He also played for a football factory that literally recruits nationally in a small state where none of the in-state schools can compete. I'm not saying Martell isn't the guy next year, but you can't pin Gorman's success on him.

If that's true, what happened to 2017 Gorman? Took a couple on the chin early. Maybe they missed the guy who went 45-0 as a starter and had 62 TDs his senior year.

Dwayne's ....passing is good

I have a major disagreement here. Only good? That seems low to me. Would love to hear what you think is keeping that from being a higher rating. From spring ball through this past season I saw a whole lot of NFL throws.

Wasn't Gorman absolutely loaded with 5* talent beyond Martell that also left? Look, I'm not saying the guy isn't a great get. He may win the starting job and break records. I hope he does. I'm just saying that Martell didn't carry Gorman to that 45-0 record on his own back. That was the culmination of a system more than any single 5* stud within it.

And before we start debating how many Heismans the guy is going to win, we should remember another heavily hyped QB from a dominant program out West who never lost in high school.
