Yeah that makes no sense and wouldn't happen at any program. He went on to win the CCG and Cotton Bowl. Urban was able to send the most decorated QB in school history off on a high note. I have no issue with that, not sure why you do.
I think his passing numbers will be similar because I don't think he'll have as many attempts. I think the team will be built around the run, but if he's playing to his capabilities, he can produce more efficiently than JT as a passer.
Yes, I do understand that. It's why JaMarcus Russell and VY were busts. I'm not sure how you've decided Haskins doesn't have that, but ok.
Every program isn’t sitting the best QB in the conference, while starting their 3rd most talented QB, on purpose.
And just so we all understand — Haskins will throw less, but for the same yards and touchdowns. So I’m guessing you have a new deep threat coming at WR? Or will the WR’s now be able to get separation on deep routes, because Haskins is at QB? And out of curiousity — what is Haskins capabilities? He has never started a game, yet you are talking about playing up to his capabilities? It’d be like a Michigan fan saying Tarik Black is the best WR in the B1G, because coaches said he was the most polished route runner they’ve seen as a true freshman and he was the #1 WR for UM until he broke his foot and coaches said he could end up as the best WR in UM history by the time he is done. Newsflash — coaches talk up their players. The next guy up is always the next big thing. Until they prove it on the field — it means nothing. And spot duty as the backup QB isn’t proving anything.
And the NFL and CFB are polar opposites for QB’s. Young and Russell were busts because they had to make throws they never had to in live games. The huge window you have to throw to in CFB, is minuscule in the NFL. They couldn’t makes the necessary throws to be successful. It is why Urban Meyer QB’s like Tebow, like JT Barrett, like Chris Leak, etc. are successful in college and do nothing in the NFL. Has nothing to do with between the ears for guys like that, it is having to make throws they never had to make in college. I added Barrett because I watched him in the CFB all-star challenge and his arm compared to others in the contest was noticeably weaker, and I do not see him playing QB on Sundays.
