2018 QB Battle Discussion

That’s the price of entry for anyone playing at this level.
Some more so then others though lol...

It'll be interesting to see how it shakes out.

Haskins may be the best throwing QB we have had in quite some time. However there's no denying Tate is the most electric with the ball.

If we know anything about UFM it's that he normally goes with kids who can create. It will all just depend on if Tate can close the gap throwing the ball because we know he has the edge running.

I don't personally think Tate will win the job but I wouldn't be shocked if he does.

I suspect that Burrow will have a solid spring, but he would have to blow Haskins away to take the starting spot and, because of his own prospects, can't wait to see how things shake out in the fall. If he wants to play and have a shot in the league, he's going to need to take advantage of the grad transfer rule. If it's close in the spring, the spot will go to Haskins. I think what we'll see is a better-managed two QB system 70-30%-ish Haskins-Martell.

Yeah, I really appreciate Burrow sticking with it to the last minute and trying to be the guy at Ohio State, but he's almost certainly gone after the Spring.

What Did Haskins, Martell Learn from J.T. Barrett?

17-08-31-FB-0012-DH.jpg


If J.T. Barrett’s backup quarterbacks haven’t been learning from the example he set for them in their time at Ohio State, then they just weren’t paying attention.

Fortunately for the Buckeyes, that hasn’t been the case.

For Joe Burrow, Dwayne Haskins, and Tate Martell, every day was a learning experience playing alongside Barrett, even if they didn’t always know it at the time.

Before Burrow’s hand injury last summer, he and Barrett were essentially attached at the hip, and if football osmosis is a thing, then it would be found there. Unfortunately, the broken hand pushed Burrow just out of range of the 2017 picture, while the focus then turned to Haskins and Martell.

Haskins showed in the Michigan game that he had been paying attention. He had no nerves. He was only focused on executing the plays in front of him.

Martell, meanwhile, wanted to contribute in any way he could, so he helped out the defense by playing on the scout team. It wasn’t something he was required to do — it was something that he wanted to do.

Both players showed the leadership required to be the starting quarterback at Ohio State, and that’s exactly what they took away from their time playing behind J.T. Barrett.

“Just his leadership and the way he attacks every day,” Haskins said. “Workouts, practice, meetings, it’s very professional. I’ve learned a lot from him regarding that.”

Dwayne Haskins played behind Barrett for two seasons, so he’s had more time to spread out the lessons that he’s learned. Tate Martell, however, only had one year of Barrett’s tutelage, so when he is asked what he learned in that time, it’s much more difficult to put the entirety of the lessons into a quick, concise answer.

“It’s hard to say one thing because honestly he does everything the way it’s supposed to be done,” Martell said. “I truly mean that. I don’t even know how to pick out one thing. He’s just such a good leader. When he’s on the field he’s a good leader. In the locker room he’s a good leader. He knows how to relate with all of the guys. Looking after a guy like me, he takes me under his wing and shows me how to do things, like what to do and how to act. You appreciate guys like that.”

My money continues to be on Martell for the long run.

Haskins may start the first game but I think Martell's running ability wins out.

I think Burrow has the best of both worlds. People forget about his mobility. With that said, Tate's arm is better than people think. His height is the only thing I can see getting in the way.

You start Martell and you might have only one QB for the fall, and he's the size of your walkons. Burrow is definitely gone. Haskins might be too. The only backup is hobbling back from a bad hs injury and his only spring practices were fifth string with no live reps.

You can get reps for Martell. Oklahoma did it with a dynamic Heisman winner. Urban would be doing it with a barely mobile pro-style QB with a cannon. (as it pertains to designed runs, he's a solid scrambler)

Is Martell not a threat to transfer?
