I don't think that the Zips are very likely to claw their way back into this thing.

Smart handlers and obviously doesn’t need the money as he comes from a pretty wealthy family. 99% of kids in his position would’ve bolted to start and get more NIL $$$$.
And that's a great point as well.  If he really needed money, he might be in more of a hurry.  Of course, if he really needed money, Texas' NIL could help out even more than it already is.

He hasn't whistled a ball into anyone's butt and he can move in the pocket. Big time upgrade. Though I see McCord is having a good game right now so maybe he just needed more time.
They are both pretty meh imo. Howard more mobile and athletic, but McCord better arm talent. Neither one is going 1st rd like Dwayne Haskins, Justin Fields, or CJ.

It’s Akron dude. They were never in this thing to begin with despite the score, even when they were up 3-0.

We were spoiled by fields and stroud. Mccord was fine, good to very good just not great.

Howard could be as good as Fields. Stroud was ridiculous in his accuracy, one of the best. If the Buckeyes defense wasn't a mess he would have won a championship

don’t forget Haskins or JT Barrett. 

McCord wasn’t as bad as OSU crazies said and he’s got a nice arm. 

You want to see mid af or even awful QBs? Look at the ones Michigan had before JJ. McCord is way better than any of them except for maybe Jake Rudock.

I kind of agree.  Howard, although very accurate with short and intermediate throws, does not have the arm strength for the long passes like McCord did.  Where I think he’s better than McCord is poise in the pocket, going through his progressions and keeping plays alive with his feet plus running the football.  


two different kinds of quarterbacks really. It depends what you want to do with your offense. I’m not sure Ohio states offense will be as explosive as we’ve seen it, but I also think they can be more efficient and have longer drives.

is he though? Cause I’m just not seeing that. I actually think he’s a downgrade but hey that’s just me.
There is no flabbergasting way he is a down grade from Kyle who had the luxury of throwing to marv for - ever. Who looked great in practice folded like a deck chair on the titanic during crunch time.

Fields was perhaps the most physically talented quarterback I've seen, but he was a step slow in making decisions, which is a problem. The difference between a completed pass and a sack is making the throw on time.

Fields efficiency and #’s at OSU were nuts. Fields was also an athletic freak and taken in the top 10 of an nfl draft. Howard ain’t Fields brother. Maybe a broke ass bootleg version of him.
