2008 tOSU QB discussion (official thread)
Lets say T. Pryor becomes a BUCKEYE. We all know what he brings to the table, and the weapons that he will have around him. So would it be.....
Boeckman or Pryor.....
I cant help but remember the Zwick and Smith QB issue. I do like Boeckman dont get me wrong, however there was a big difference from the first and second part of the season with him. I dont want to come off as a a$$, however with a guy like Pryor and possibly only having him for 3 years, I say with what we have in offense coming back next year, just think about the possibilities....... Beanie, Robo, Hartline, Saine, Small, Posey, and then throw in Pryor WOW.....................Look at the NC game with our recievers being locked up most of the night, If we have a duel threat QB unlike Boeckman possibilities are endless.
So if you had a chance to start one of these QBs by midseason who would it be??

Boeckman, he knows the systems and will be better than this year.

I think Henton will be our guy by the season opener.

We also still have Henton, I figure Henton and Boeckman will compete for the starting position in the Spring.

Ok. But with the limited time that Henton has played and the off the field issues that he has had, will this come into play against him.

Boeckman (assuming Henton doesn't win the job), but Pryor should definitely take some snaps in the game. He and Boeckman should also both be on the field at times.
I only assumed that Henton doesn't win the job for the sake of discussion.

If limited playing time in the past is a factor for Henton, wouldn't it be the same for TP?

Boeckman will never QB this team to a National Title. If you want to see the Buckeyes win a title we have to go somewhere else at QB.
Boeckman doesn't have the anticipation needed to play QB against the best competition... he doesn't throw the ball UNTIL guys are open... the ball needs to be out BEFORE they are open...
I don't know if Pryor, or Henton, or anyone else is the answer... but Boeckman isn't.

If Boeckman plays like he did pre-MSU, there will be no doubt who the Buckeye QB is.
If he plays like he did post-MSU.. I'll be damn worried.
