I'm not saying Barrett was bad by any means, I'm comparing him to the 2 QB's on the bench behind him.
I think OSU makes the playoffs with another QB in 2017. OSU has 2 of the best running backs in the country and Meyer let Barrett have more carries than either of them which was another reason I would like to have seen one of the other QBs.

I thought Haskins replaced Barrett because of injury. The games I watched of OSU Barrett always brought them back. That is what I saw in him, he always gave them a chance to win. You mention Haskins but under your desires, Haskins wouldn’t have had the opportunity.

You say Barrett had a good freshman year as if his other years were mediocre. Yet he was 1st team Big 10 QB 3 of his 4 years there. And received the Brees QB award 3 of his 4 years. And in addition to that set 25 OSU records and numerous Big 10 records. Yet you believe his backup QBs were better? Okie Dokie.

I hope that is true and Burrow is better than Barrett and Haskins. LSU would be on a great championship type run these next two years. But chances are the OSU coaches, his stats & records, Big 10 coaches & Big 10 media who voted for him, are a more objective statement as to Barrett’s ability. And you are a fan with a favorite QB, all else be damned.

Are you related to or a friend of Barrow?
