If Thompson wants to play and can play, he absolutely should.  Wherever Howard may end up, Thompson is lightyears ahead of Will Howard right now, and, right now, we're sitting at the top of the standings.  We can do some really nice things this year.  Putting together something like a 6-4; 7-3 type season would be GREAT for the program (and obviously anything better would be that much better).  Turtling and "playing for the future" by starting a freshman would be stupid, given how much better Skylar has been so far this year, in a season that's still very much "in play" for goodness/greatness. 

Plus, I don't think it's always true that starting a true freshman QB is good for that QBs long term development.  I think there's a lot of value to be had for Howard to get in there, learn the offense (generally) and bend bars, rather than "taking his lumps."

Howard has a bright future regardless of whether he starts the rest of the season.

Excellent thoughts from one of the premiere retired college football journalists out there. Not hard to see why you’ve always been so respected in the field.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

I'd say Sky is a below average QB for someone who is in his third year starting.

All aboard the Howard bandwagon.

The media who have been willing to put their name on it says he has an AC sprain that could be anywhere from a week to a couple months. Klieman said yesterday that Skylar could play this weekend but no one believes that.

Skylar has over 5000 passing yards and 1000 rushing yards as a QB. While that hasn't always equated to wins like we've wanted it to, how anyone can call that average is beyond me.

Taking mental snaps. Ya, ok, Kli. You're just keeping Sweaty Gary guessing. :)

Broadcast had a graphic last week.  Sky and El Roberson are the only 2 KState QBs to have 5k passing and 1k rushing in a career.  El's numbers are 5k and 2k, but that's still pretty good company.

Gary has to bring three shirts to the office just to be dry for the walk to the car, then when he gets home he has to put the shirt on that he keeps in his car for the walk inside. The guy's laundry has to be awful.

This is absolutely nuts. Things are getting way out of hand already. Klieman needs to go ahead and quash this quarterback controversy by naming Will the #1 QB right now before it's too late.

That sucks for Skylar, and we can kiss the Dr. Pepper goodbye, it's too much for a true freshman who didn't have either spring ball or a real pre season camp.

yep, sucks for Sky. A dr. pepper this season wouldn't have really counted anyway.

would Sky come back next season? Pre-injury I heard our guy Keitz talk to Kevin Lockett like it's a given that he'll come back.

He lost his starting job to Stoutward and they're letting him save face here.
