Gah. I forgot about John Holcombe already. I loved him. Where did he end up?

Ended up at Florida A&M, no longer on their roster though

That was one of the funniest things I've ever seen in a football game.

Crazy all the talk by the coaches of Goodwill Howard being so improved and the 'best backup in college football', etc.

Remember that year we had some wide receivers playing quarterback? maybe we could try that again

They need to Dink and dunk with him. If he throws over 10 yards it’s too far. Get him confidence and tell him to be more like Alex Smith. If we have a great defense we need him to be just ok. Let Deuce do the heavy lifting on offense.

They need to not ever play him again at QB. If he really is our #2 it’s a pretty damning indictment on the coaches.

Is he good? No. But can he fill in adequately? Also no.

I can dislike the kid only so much (which is already alot), but I also didn't need to see him play today to know that since we found out how bad he is last year. However I am wildly concerned with the coaching staffs decision making of letting players like Howard and Elder even see the field.

I just bought a new elite AS eff EMAW flag and was looking forward to flying it until we lost to bama in the playoffs but now my whole fall is ruined

ben ji · « **Reply #585 on:** September 12, 2021, 01:45:48 AM »

I will however keep flying it until we dip below .500 and then I will stealthily replace it with my chiefs flag

WOW, lotta neg-nancys after this game. I'm gonna ride the Will Howard Express until it de-rails and is a smouldering pile of wreckage.

i think he has what it takes to be a star quarterback. he's tall and strong, tough runner. just needs to be mentally stronger as well as improve arm strength/accuracy.

He's a very good athlete

Peggy Po: he doesn't take a bunch of preseason practice reps with the first team as though he's going to be the starter only to then suffer a season ending injury right out of the gate.

chum1 · « **Reply #590 on:** September 12, 2021, 08:14:38 AM »

The funniest thing about this for the Howard haters is that the experience he gains this year will give him a huge edge to be the starter for the remainder of his career.

catastrophe · « **Reply #591 on:** September 12, 2021, 08:18:18 AM »

It’s very reminiscent of Hubner in that we have a tall white backup QB who apparently does not get any better with experience.

DaBigTrain · « **Reply #592 on:** September 12, 2021, 08:41:51 AM »

We won the game so I'd say he is pretty good.

I gave wacky crap on Twitter but his body language in the post game was a fair analysis of his nervousness. Dude acted like he hadn't seen the field.

despite what many here think, he will get better and improve. but our offense needs to adjust to his skill set and get better too. it’s a team game and our surprisingly effective o-line will be the answer to skyler’s injury.

I tend to agree with this but was really hoping we wouldn’t have to do this until spring 22

He’s a good runner and has two good receiving threats and an all big 12 caliber running back he should be fine if the coaches can adjust.

Problem is he is absolutely terrible at throwing. That is an important skill to have IMO

Yeah, any pass more than 5 yards down field ends up being a jump ball. Snyder would probably be competitive with him by giving him more carries than pass attempts, but then we would see wide receivers starting at QB during conference play.
