Burrow was no where near as good as Haskins and probably wouldn't win the job over Fields.
I wonder what Joe Burrows is thinking right now? While I suspect that he's happy with LSU, particularly since the Tigers will be in the national title hunt next year, you have to think he's doing a bit of "what if" thinking?
As an aside and I know I'll catch flak for this but in the end wouldn't it have been better for Ohio State to have declared Burrows the winner of last springs QB competition? I submit the Bucks would have done just as good as they did this year with Burrows at QB and next year they would be sitting pretty with a veteran dual threat QB at the helm.
I mean Burrow made the best choice. Meyer never made a choice for starting QB so Burrow left. Also Burrow probably knew the wheels were about to fall off Ohio State and Meyer would leave.

If you cant spell his name correctly your argument pretty much dies on the spot.
I was okay with having the best QB in Ohio State history as our starter. The only f**kup was to not start him a year earlier
That's what makes this a fascinating discussion IMO MB. Haskins was without doubt the best QB in Ohio State history. But will we look back on the 2018 & 2109 seasons and conclude he was the best QB for Ohio State when compared to Burrow?
The college game is a different beast then the pro game with the potentially much shorter window for a QB to impact a program. And you point out an equally interesting debate point: should Meyer have started Haskins over Barret in 2017?
Tate will fit right in at Miami. Talks a big game but can’t seem to back it up. “Don’t swing and miss, especially not your second time ”
Really? I guess you just love debating the college football playoff format then?
How do you tweet something like this and then leave before you even have a chance to compete for the job. Fields hasn't had his waiver cleared yet to play next - what if they rule he still must sit out? Who do the Buckeyes turn to at QB? Martell wasn't the answer anyways but who do they have waiting in the wings if Fields isn't allowed to go?
He is petitioning to not sit out a year, but no way he can use an excuse that will work.Tate Martell didn't even want to compete for the stating job? He even has to sit out a year now.

Your HC leaving who recruited you wont do the trick
He can say that a drunk student called him a bad name and he had to leave because of that.

I do appreciate the way you approach things differently, and I think it’s okay to ask these types of questions and invite debate. I still very much disagree and I think we are asking the wrong question, ultimately. The real question is what could have been had Haskins been named the starter a year (or two) earlier? (Those years when we had a great defense and offensive line)
Given Fields is going to be eligible to play, yes OSU made the correct choice. Even if Fields never came and OSU started either Martell or Baldwin, they still made the correct choice.

I think we all have to wait to the end of the 2019 season to declare one way or another on this topic. The answer will depend on what Burrow does at LSU in year 2 and whether Fields does come to OSU; is cleared to play immediately and is actually any good. I know the kid has great POTENTIAL but there's a reason he wasn't starting at Georgia.
