It's hard to tell how good you are when you do no seem to have a consistent game plan in place. Who can seriously figure out how holgs changes from air Coryel to woody Hayes 3 yards and a cloud of dust ? The passing game is going, he runs off tackle or dive. The run games and he throws two dinks and a WR screen for no gain. I have never understood if he really is a game planner or Just out there picking plays by a coin toss. Still think he's a good coach, just not a good head coach. I
I'm so glad Howard is gone...
- Thread starter Tenn.EER
- Start date
At least he's a graduate something you don't possess the IQ, work ethic, ability to achieve.
I've thought about this also and I really think his playing calling was directly related to Howard. I don't think he had any confidence in him and knew his limitations
I have been on here every day running my mouth about how we were going to put a beat down on them?
Locate one post that supports this idea you have ...go on...find it liar.
Oline getting destroyed, inside our own 5 yard line, audibles to a qb keeper out of the shotgun on 3rd and long...
Tough kid, always gave 100%, and, the best qb on the team. If not for him, we'd have been fortunate to get to 6 wins this year.
If Skyler and Dana are so bad, why is WVU 10-3? I don't care if you're playing Little Sisters of the Poor, that's tough to do.
Only 8 Power 5 teams have a better record than WVU. Isn't that something to be proud of instead of turning on our own because of one crappy performance loss?

How many 10 win power 5 teams will likely finish outside top 25? Thats hard to do.
Here's a better question......How many Power 5 teams with 10 wins will finish below a MAC school (Western Michigan)? How many times has that happened for a Power 5 school?
We had a good year, but nowhere near a "great" year.
BUMP! Found any underlying evidence to support your beat down claim yet jackwagon? LMFAO at you Spookmeister.
I applaud the contributions Skyler Howard made to the WVU program over the last couple of seasons. Won many games and gave the Mountaineers a solid year this time around.
I $p!t on the anti WVU know nothing trolls that inhabit this board and others that haven't ever done a thing for WVU--or probably anyone else, yet think they can daily bash WVU and its players who gave all they had for WVU fans and the school.

The trolls definitely seem to be at a high (or perhaps real low) point of late. It is getting silly really...
I'm so glad he was here. The last 2 years would have been a total train wreck without him.
Let's hope our man next year is the real deal!

No one is saying he was a great qb!! Is it too much to ask to just support the damn team and it's players?? It absolutely pathetic that someone who gave all he had for WVU gets bashed by grown ass men like you!! He is what he is, it's not his fault he's not the best qb ever, but he gave us all he had!! That's all I can ever ask for!!
Yeah, cause god forbid anyone is positive!! You are by far the most worthless poster I've seen in a while!! There is now way you are a real WVU fan, you have got to be a troll!!
When we gave Skyler his scholarship we had two 4 star quarterbacks on the roster. When Plan A and Plan B didn't work out, Skyler was the next man up. He did his best. Given the other options, we likely would have been in the bottom half of the conference without him the last two years.
If there would have been a better QB on the team, that QB would have been starting. You play the game with the players you have, not the players you want to have.
I hope to see improvement from the QB position next year as much as anybody but there is no point in throwing Skyler under the bus.

I do understand that logic, but he did sign 2 four star qb's that didn't pan out, I personally don't think that's on Dana!!
I would be lying to say I was going to miss him. Fans everywhere are brutal when they identify so deeply with their program. All he really had to do is bite his lip and take ownership of bad outings. Rightly or wrongly, that is what fans expect and that is what the great ones do. However, doesn't mean folks need to attact him personally. He got more done than 90% of any other QB that lined up for us. I wish him well and thank him for laying it all out their for his coach and team even if it was in spite of the fans. I am sure he has a great life before him.
Was he an elite QB? No
But he has a better career record as a starter than Bulger or Hostetler.
I for one am thankful for everything he did while at WVU.

Please dear god for crying out loud. Don't even mention Howard and Hostetler in the same sentence. And no, Howard doesn't have a better record than Hostetler.
The kid gave unbelievable effort!
We can't blame the kid that our coaching staff didn't recruit a better QB!
Am I glad the Grier career is starting? Absolutely! But we need to appreciate Howard's Heart because not everyone laid on the line like he did!

If we dont give the QB more time it wouldn't matter if we had steve young back there. The Canes front 4 chewed up and spit out our O-Line. The one positive of Howard was that hes a 1aa RB so he could scramble.
One thing I definitely did notice is exactly how good their D line was! Not sure why the EERS O line was unable to at least somewhat match here or there. I thought they looked pretty good most of season and gave Howard the ability to distribute the ball or run...
BUMP again btw....evidence please jackass...show us how you are the football idiot savant!
Posts like this tick me off! I say hats off to Howard. He was the best QB on the roster available to play. Statistically, he will go down as one of the top QBs in WVU history. While he lacks talent in some parts of the passing game, I have never seen a WVU player leave more on the field. He is a tough guy, who did his best to win. What more could you want from a player?
Of the best QBs to play at WVU, the only other one that left has much on the field was the Hoss.

My theory is the high humidity combined with the layoff. Not a good combo for big men.
Jagoff? Is your mom going to spank you for saying jerkoff? Keep pumping your sunshine while pretending we didn't get smoked by every respectable team we played.
no, but they are acclimated to that weather.
We may never know. No one had a meaningful chance to run the offense regardless of the score in the fourth quarter all season.
I go along with the 'I am glad Howard is graduating' statement that the OP made. Yes, as opposed to Skyler not graduating at WVU. Skyler was quite an athlete at WVU and I wish you well ........degree in hand. I just may give him a job at my rocket factory. Heck, I will pay him hunnardts to do nothing but push the GO button and to man the bat phone. Warez
