I rewatched the first half of the WVU game and reality hit me like a ton of bricks.  He doesn’t have great arm, and it might not even be good :frown:, I let my emotions blind me from Rick Daris’s cold clinical assessment.

I’ve watched like 10 plays all season and my gut instinct is that he is not good.

I personally hate that we don’t have a fast/athletic backup QB. Feels yucky.

First four minutes is of him dropping dimes, the last minute is of him running the option and looking like Aaron Rodgers when the pocket breaks down. I was disappointed to see Nick Ast instead of Lewis against WVU.

Howard will be good, but he's a true freshman; it's going to take some time.

Any chances we had of winning the conference this year disappeared when Thompson was injured for good.

Although there's been a ton of discussion focused on Howard after WV, it's good to keep in mind that the entire team got its entire ass kicked. Like, if the team had been better, Howard would have been better even if he played at the same level.

Wiley is the only player that did the kicking of ass instead of the getting ass kicked

Kashi, shut up, Jesus Christ.
do u disagree? if u do, please name the B12 QB who is not a better runner than Howard. because i went through all of them in my head and its not even particular close.
The B12 has a lot of great running QBs.

Doege appeared to have about 0% interest in running the ball. We gave him ample opportunities and he was like nah

Should that make a person feel better or worse?  I dont know for sure.

Why is Will Howard still playing quarterback for K-State?

Let’s just give him an academic scholarship and wish him the best, and get him the eff out of there.

his big mistakes today were not caused by a bad OL. He had plenty of time to throw at the end of the game but chose to force it. He fumbled on his own in the open field. He missed a couple open receivers. He shouldn't be playing but Snyder/Klieman were unable to secure an actual backup QB. thats the coaches fault

I really thought the staff  liked Jaren Lewis but he must be dog crap if Will is the better option.

Verdict: Higher ceiling and floor than Hubes, but not by a wide margin.

Kid has moxie but he can't throw the ball at all, not even a little bit. That missed hitch route to Taylor was comically bad.

Maybe better than Brock Purdy, Jesus he's a turnover machine. That guy has regressed a ton.

Yea if he doesn’t fumble we likely win, the QB read was really effective today. I thought he would throw a better ball than Skylar but he doesn’t so that sucks.

Not that good yet!
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.
