BobbyPhil1781 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Congrats on your victory, guys. Barrett had surgery on his knee and is still expected to play. While the surgery could be minor, it still will not positively effect him. He can't throw to save his life but his running certainly helps. Well, now his running will be negatively effected so his best attribute is somewhat nullified. Enjoy the playoffs, good luck!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things remain the same; prospects don't pan out. It happens all the time. 70 4-5* players (with the bulk of them being 5* players, the blue chips of the blue chips) is an ENTIRE THREE DEEP. Plus getting the top level specialists every year (which are usually 3*), even if you grant that 25% of them amount to nothing and another 25% are disappointing, that's still an entire 2 deep of the best, most talented athletes in the country. They really shouldn't ever lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is everyone in this subforum so obsessed w/ how everything looks on paper? LOL. I mean, I get the logic but there's that whole human element thing that gets in the way.

I hope you're right. You shouldn't hope for the same lol. Haskins just opens up our offense so much more than Barrett and it's never been more apparent than last week. Michigan was playing press and single high all game, daring Barrett to beat them w/ his arm. As you see, it didn't really happen (w/ his arm). Haskins can beat people w/ his arm and run when he needs to. That will force your strong defense to honor all aspects of the offense. That makes it the smart move to start Haskins but we'll see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyPhil1781 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I know I don't need to remind you all of this but it does have shades of 2014 littered all over it lol. Barrett hurt during Michigan then the highly touted backup comes in and..... well, you know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
