Ohio State Football NAMES Will Howard QB1 | Fall Camp Intel as Ryan Day chooses OSU Signal-Caller

the news from Thursday will Howard named the Ohio State quarterback qb1 as predicted by Spencer Holbrook on Monday's show Ryan Day said will Howard will start our first game against akan he's our starting quarterback I think chip has done a great Chip Kelly of course has done a great job of rolling our quarterbacks from the first day of spring all the way to now we're talking 27 of 28 practices when you take the aggregate of all the numbers will has graded out significantly ahead head of the other guys our friend Parker Fleming at Stats war on X very funny tweet yesterday breaking veteran quarterback who signed Hefty nil deal is named our starting quarterback he was not speaking of course only of will Howard this is all of these quarterback competitions we we talked about Tyler van djk at Wisconsin yesterday yes the advantage was heavily tilted toward Will Howard in this competition but Ohio state has plenty of money if Will Howard had come in and been a complete dud then I think Ohio state would have moved on and started Devin Brown started somebody else Devon Brown will be the backup remember Devon Brown started the bowl game got hurt pretty early we never really got to see what he can do but I just I I don't know if it's going to be a situation where Deon Brown really gets a chance because now they've got Julian saan now they've got Aon Nolan now they've got all you know all these other people who could potentially be the starting quarterback so that's the guy now there are doubters about will Howard Eric in the chat is one of them will Howard will lose his starting job for good when he throws three picks against Nebraska and loses by two touchdowns now that's game eight I believe so he he'd be pretty deep into the season at that point but I've seen this this refrain a few times throughout the off season there was a comment in the chat yesterday even said you know will Howard just isn't good enough to be Ohio State starting quarterback and will Howard is a pretty good starting quarterback helped Kansas State won a big 12 title a couple years ago and I I see people saying oh you know if he wasn't that good at Kansas State why is he why is he going to be good at Ohio State well he has considerably more Talent around in Ohio state that does seem to matter right I go back to Jaden Daniels remember Jaden Daniels when he was a freshman at Arizona State we're like this guy is awesome and then the next two years they like what what happened to Jaden Daniels well let's see when Jane Daniels was a freshman Brandon auk caught 65 passes for 12200 yards and then Brandon went to the NFL funny thing about that Jaden Daniels became a worse quarterback when Brandon iuk wasn't there and then Jaden Daniels went to LSU became a much better quarterback when Malik neighbors and Brian Thomas Jr were there crazy how that works name the best receiver or the best pass catching Target at Kansas State during will Howard's tenure there's been Senate I'll help you there was Ben Senate the tight endend he had du spawn two years ago when they won the Big 12 championship and duvon was gone after that year so he's going to have EMA abuka Carnell Tate Jeremiah Smith trayon Henderson and quinon Judkins are the backs like it's a very different environment around will Howard with Ohio State this is going to be a very interesting thing because as AJ Adams points out oh he's trying to make this a thing I'm for it saying will Howard got beat out by AJ jets that would be Avery Johnson at Kansas State yes he did Kansas State put a lot of nil resources into Avery Johnson a guy from Kansas Who is younger than will Howard who will be there for at least two more years they made that choice same Choice Oklahoma made with Jackson Arnold that allowed Dylan Gabriel to go to Oregon we'll find out it you know it it will be very interesting I am fascinated to see how people judge Chris kimman at Kansas State and Brent venables at Oklahoma if we are watching Dylan Gabriel and will Howard duke it out for the Big 10 title and possibly duke it out in the playoff like are they gonna feel like they made a mistake if they're not also in the playoff it's going to be interesting chicken 1515 also he's got Chip Kelly that is a big also that's a huge also Chip Kelly as the offensive coordinator only having to worry about offensive coordinator things not having to worry anymore about head coach things that's kind of scary that's kind of scary and that's yet another reason why we keep pumping up Ohio State this offseason and you got the people they they they can't beat Michigan no they've lost three in a row against Michigan you're right but if you're paying any attention there's a good chance they're substantially different this year Nathan in the chat giving up your a-level QB for another a-level QB just because the second one is younger is like the old dude divorcing his hot wife of 20 years for a barista at Starbucks no well it depends is the Barista at Starbucks also working on a startup that could be worth billions that's the that's the gamble here with Avery Johnson or with Jackson Arnold the the startup that the Barce is working on may be worth billions or it might not we just don't know and that's the issue right now but I am I am really intrigued to see how everybody gets judged for all of this because Chris kimman has done no wrong at Kansas State Brent venables he's at Oklahoma the standards are very high he's gotten criticism like that first year the they were just not good enough last year they were much better but both of them could be subject to some fairly intense criticism if Dylan Gabriel and will Howard are just flat out awesome this year and their QBs don't live up to the hype they're gonna have to do it there's a lot of pressure on Jackson Arnold and Avery Johnson but there's also a ton of pressure on Dylan Gabriel and will Howard I mean will Howard is being handed the keys to a Ferrari Maserati n Maserati Marv's gone what what what are we calling Jeremiah I think Jeremiah Smith is a Ferrari or a Lamborghini and I'm sorry Kyle McCord took the Honda Honda mcord stray I feel very bad about that I didn't I didn't do that by the way I didn't coin that term but somebody did goat dog they left him for a young thing well that's right this is but here's the thing with Will Howard if we're going to continue this analogy if we're going to torture this analogy will Howard is that you know hot spouse of a long time who got dumped for what the person supposedly thought as an upgrade who hit the gym super hard and is just rocking the bod coming out everybody every head's turning and they also came into money like they inherited something got a promotion at work something because they've also got a squad around them now that makes them pretty good so that's will Howard and will Howard competing against the ghost of Avery Johnson Avery Johnson competing as the ghost of will Howard we'll find out what happens it's going to be a lot of fun thank you so much for watching just a reminder subscribe to this channel right here so you never miss an episode of Andy Staples
