I like Gibson and want him to become a Buckeye starting QB if his off-the-field issues are, in fact, minimal or non-existent and he proves that he is the best man for the job. With that said, the ability to "strike fear in defenses" isn't necessarily a requisite quality for a National Championship QB. Braxton Miller most definitely has that ability, but as much as I adore him as football player and human being, the reality is that he doesn't have a ring (hopefully that changes this year). Craig Krenzel didn't exactly strike fear in any defenses. Nor have any of the relatively recent Bama QBs with rings (Barker, McElroy, McCarron). I'm just suggesting that you not sell Burrow, Barrett, Collier, Jones, etc. short, as the one of them may end up being the very best answer for the Buckeyes at QB.

True, but the QBs you mentioned didn't run the same offense as us. And that's far different, those QBs won on the legs of QBs. Jameis Winston, Cam Newton, Tim Tebow and Vince Young, to name a few have won NCs in similar spread offenses, and struck fear in defenses. We don't run a pro style drop back offense so not a good comparison. Barrett, Jones, and Collier I wasn't selling short at all as they too have similar athletic abilities.

A well reasoned argument, but I still think that selling Burrow (or any other player recruited by UFM) short before they step foot on the field is folly.

Not selling him short, but I just believe Gibson, and athletic QBs like him give the offense an extra gear. I have no problem with Burrow even being our only QB for this class, but the staff is and has shown that Gibson is a priority and that he would make this offense very dangerous with all of the offensive weapons were stockpiling. Can't wait to see how he does at FNL and how he gets along with the current commits and some of the Dream 14 guys.
