How good is Will Howard???

[wetwillie]

More like Will Coward

[pissclams]

would be nice if his offensive coordinator would put him in a position to be successful, but alas, courtney is trash

I’m confused about what plays people think we should be running but aren’t running.

None of our wide receivers are good and neither is the quarterback and we’re also not very food at running the ball.  People tend to crap on OCs but the more likely and more boring answer is that almost all of our offensive players suck.

you’re not confused about anything, but you can ask for an explanation
his job, our oc’s, is to put his players in positions to succeed.  play to his strength and protect his weaknesses
just seems to me that he’s asked to do a bit more than he’s ready or capable of doing

Of course he’s being asked to do more than he’s ready for, he’s a true freshman.  Thems the breaks though for that youngster. 

ready for?
Howard should never be asked to throw the ball beyond the hash marks for the remainder of his career

Man the helmets in 2006 were so primitive compared to today’s

[BIG APPLE CAT]

so he's telling us there's still some hope that we can enjoy the same level of success that we had during the prince years? h*ck yeah!

i thought it was a pretty apt comparison to show that a true freshman QB's performance isn't necessarily indicative of where he'll be when he's all grown up.

For Will Howard as a human, I legit hope he tries to find out if those Ivy League offers are still good if he enters the portal, and then transfers to an Ivy and becomes a fabulously rich, tall, handsome investment banker relationship sales guy, and does nothing but play golf and smile the rest of his life.

It was pretty clear that Freemaw had a cannon w/ NFL potential.

Not a fan of Freeman, but the dude could sling the football. However, I don't know what he'd do with our current wideouts. Has anyone else noticed that lack of separation our guys get? When they do actually get open, it is 50/50 on whether or not Howard can actually throw a catchable ball and then 50/50 on whether or not our WR will actually catch the ball. Basically, it feels like we have a 25% chance of completing a pass.

Anybody have the numbers of Howard's completion % for throws over 10 yards? I just don't understand how someone that big has such a weak arm. A few weeks ago, I was convinced it was just poor mechanics and him aiming the ball rather than letting it rip. Sadly, I've moved into the camp of him just having a weak arm. Hope I'm proven wrong.........

Should be obvious, but football has changed a ton since 2006. Direct numbers comps aren’t that useful.

[DQ12]

We don’t need Howard to be Freeman.  We just need him to be a good Big 12 qb.  He’s not that right now, but neither was Freeman as a Freshman.

Howard has good tools.

[wetwillie]

How can you not be a fan of Freemaw? Guy was an absolute stud.

A Skyler vs. Howard comparo would have been much more interesting (even though Sky had a redshirt and split time w/ Delton)

Please don’t disrespect Sky like that, ever again!

actually also not a really fair comparison because Sky had two NFL WR's

[Cire]

Wr is a huge problem. Howard has been pretty good

Lol, I like Zuber and Pringle, but come on. They’re fringe NFL guys. I doubt Zuber will be on a roster next year, once there’s a vaccine. It’s a weird year in the NFL. The eye test is night and day between the two, in their first years seeing action. Yes, Sky had the RS year.

[MakeItRain]

Anyone who thinks Skylar Thompson is anything close to how good of a quarterback as Josh Freeman was is huffing paint. Freeman's freshman year had the worst supporting cast and coaches of any other Kansas State quarterback since 1988.

[wetwillie]

Malik Knowles has similar potential to Zuber, it’s not not really a stretch to think he could make a roster.  The knock on Malik is he drops tons of balls and so did Zuber.  Briley Moore will make a 53 Man roster.  Duece, Moore, Malik are solid targets to work with.

Who compared sky and freemaw?

Agreed. He seems to only trust Taylor too. Lot’s of one look targets to him.
