He's going to be good.  Three weeks with the first team and a game against KU should give him the confidence he needs to take us all the way.  :emawkid:

Yeah, I am fully expecting him to look like an absolute stud against bball aggie and I will get my hopes up really high that maybe we can still make the dr pepper but then he will look like a true freshman QB against coal aggie or tboone aggie.

Howard is a big true freshman QB with some good, raw tools.  That’s pretty much what he’s looked like so far too, so none of this should be unexpected either way.

It means a lot.
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.

With rare exception, P5 scholarship quarterbacks were "winners" in high school. Because they are very talented relative to their competition and not because of some mythical winning instinct.

Also I haven't seen CK use quarterbacks as bartering rams. They definite use qb runs but not like a ton

I certainly don't expect him to be perfect, but from what little we've seen so far, he has good instincts and is a more accurate thrower than Thompson. Yes, I would feel much better with Skylar starting, but I have high hopes!

Uh, he's got a 50% completion rate. That is definitely not more accurate than Skylar.

TBH he hasn't shown he can do anything better than Skylar, yet.

None of the QBs are CK or ER or MB, either. But then again that didn't deter Snyder.

He seems to put a nice 'touch' on his throws.  Has anyone else noticed the 'touch' he puts on his throws?  I could be wrong.

Dropped a dime into Sammy Wheeler that should have counted if not for the shitty refs.

When he did have a little time, he was able to hit his receivers in stride for YAC.

Will Howard throws much better between the hashes than to the outside.  From the one pass in the Arkansas State game to the Moore/Wheeler throws on Saturday, he has been solid there.  Not sure if there are larger conclusions to be drawn from it.

He sees over the line better since he is more ideal height.  He dropped one over the linebackers to Duece that was something Skylar probably just couldn’t do based on height and seeing it.

So many drops in that TCU game by our WR's. I'm sure Skylar has had to deal with drops too, but it really stood out to me against TCU.

Throws to the sideline are harder.

Will def throws a lot more wobbly passes, looks like some of his passes are harder to catch.

and require more arm strength or they're going to get pick 6'd. I think howard looks perfectly capable of being fine. his arm strength seems lacking though. probably related to the "touch" that 33 notices.

He had the nice quick out to Bash on 3rd down vs TT, but I bet the coaches were limiting out routes with TCU due to the chance of pick-6s. He is throwing the seam well. The touch throw to Deuce that went for 45 showed great arm strength- running backwards to his left, threw off his back foot while being tackled, and effortlessly lofted it 25yds right over the LB and beneath the safety. That play has me incredibly excited about his ability.

I was shocked that dude didn’t get there in time, thought for sure it was going to the house.
