IM no college football aficionado. BUt this guy was amazing. Looks very subpar. and didnt even look as electrifying at times last year

hes been there a while, and got screwed over, but he was a big 10 OPOY, dude can ball......The dude has to be like 35 by now. Father time is undefeated. I swear he's been OSU's QB for 10 years.
Plus Urban Meyer is his coach, so JT has probably joined a gang or some shit that distracts him from football.

Regressed since his first year. Injury, confidence, lack of deep threat. His backups Burrows and Haskins have both looked better but Urbs hasn't pulled the trigger yet. Probably won't unless it looks really bad unfortunately.IM no college football aficionado. BUt this guy was amazing. Looks very subpar. and didnt even look as electrifying at times last year

Used to be a great runner but looks average nowIMO he's peaked as far as talent. He is what he is, and isn't that difficult to game plan for. He's a good runner and sub-par passer.
do you think the crap with braxton and patterson messed his head upRegressed since his first year. Injury, confidence, lack of deep threat. His backups Burrows and Haskins have both looked better but Urbs hasn't pulled the trigger yet. Probably won't unless it looks really bad unfortunately.
Yeah that's not true. There were photos that came out from ESPN after the Oklahoma game showing many different times when he had an open guy or a guy who had a couple steps on their defender where he failed to complete the pass. It was the same in several of his recent shitty performances.He was never a great passer, but was sufficient, IF, he had some decent receivers. Remember he hit 4 td passes against Oklahoma last year. His current wideouts leave a lot to be desired. They can't get open and their routes are not decent.
But I also think Barrett has lost confidence in himself to throw the long ball. He will be needed when they enter Big 10 play against the really tough teams.
The refs stopped giving him the extra 1/2 yardIM no college football aficionado. BUt this guy was amazing. Looks very subpar. and didnt even look as electrifying at times last year

he's had really really good wr'sI think the coaches screwed him up by trying to make him more of a passer.
in 2014 when he was allowed to run around and make things happen he was great.
Now he seems hesitant to take off and run if nothing is there, he would rather force a bad pass than take off for positive yardage and keep the defense honest.
That being said, WR play has also been shit, it's hard to complete passes downfield if nobody can get open. Barrett's accuracy on mid-deep throws has been bad though.
