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.

He can be great. I would not classify it that way now.

It's not a bad rating whatsoever. Take away his arm strength and I don't think he's an elite passer yet.

Same with Cardale. Consistency is the biggest thing for him but he has yet to have any first team reps and the veteran in front of him needed a ton of passing reps .

The one thing with Haskins I'll give him is that he understands when to put some air on his throws. Not everything is a fast ball like Cardale and when you throw the deep that's exactly what you need.

Can't wait to see Haskins with full ownership (or Tate for that matter)

I'd think it would be premature to rate anyone who has 57 career attempts - nearly half of which came in clear-the-benches-time against UNLV - an "elite passer". What we've seen so far has looked good, but I don't think we've seen enough to feel too certain of anything.

Very true. Dwayne looks a lot better early on. They have similar skill sets but Dwayne is a much better leader and student of the game as well.

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.

The talk of Tate getting on the field at other positions seems to indicate the coaches are pretty committed to Haskins and are working to keep Tate engaged and happy so he doesn’t transfer.

Thread title is: "Who Will Start At QB For tOSU In 2018?" so I have a simple answer: A 9+ game winner.

Whoever gets the nod will get a minimum of 9 wins IMO. And the realistic confidence I have in saying that means things are as good as you can ask for. Just ask a Wolverine.
