He did have serious health issues...it's documented by his doctors...And he didn't come back the "next day", he took a year off to be an announcer on one of the networks, forget which one..He took the OSU job because of the Jim Tressel tattogate scandal firing. Nothing wrong with that since he's from Ohio and his mentor was Earle Bruce and OSU was always his dream job.
We have good unproven receivers but OSU has 6-7 proven highly athletic receivers....not only there, but toys everywhere.
I never was on the Etling bandwagon. Teribly inconsistent passer at Purdue along with having absolutely no mobility. I knew he was a disaster from the start....This boy is a whole different ballgame.

Good point....that's my one concern. A quarterback is only as good as his O-line.

I said he "reminds" me of Brady, not that he "is" Brady. I was specifically referencing his smarts and coolness. There is more to being a field general than mere talent alone.

I believe we got a good one!

It was really a flip of the coin, folks, about who was going to start for OSU this fall, and I think Joe, if he decided to stay, would have still competed for the job. Haskins, no doubt, is a tremendous talent with accurate pinpoint passing, although not as good a runner as Joe. Reading the OSU archives on the OSU website "eleven warriors", this kid is a starter whom the fans loved and not a negative word was uttered about him as a player. He's also got good character and is extremely smart. Reminds me of a Brady type quarterback. There was no way that 2 very good quarterbacks like that were going to sit, and that's not even including Tate Martell, who is no slouch himself. Something had to give with one leaving. Joe made that decision. Who can blame him. I, for one, am extremely happy we got him because with this elite defense and excellent receiving corps we can have a great year. We just need to get some production out of the running back position. Hey, yes, he's unproven, but with his small resume so far he's been good, very good. Add the fact that he played every weeks against a defense that puts a lot of players in the NFL. I think it's a great addition. Geaux tigers.
