With SH we finally have a QB that wants to be

Name the ones who didn't want to be out there...and I'll really be impressed if you can name some who wanted to be out there yet didn't want to compete.
 
I think Trick wanted to get out there and compete...took a number of hits, and dust himself off, until it was one hit too many...but yes...Howard sure looks like a gamer to me. Hopefully he stays healthy for the duration of the season....
 
What QB didn't want to be out there?

Dana's QB's always look the first half of the season. Then for whatever reason we can't move the ball.

If the OP was directing his comments to Trickett, that's simply stupid. Kid took a lot of punishment and from most accounts played injured.
 
out there and compete. It's a welcomed change.

F sPitt

I can only assume that's code from 3:16 to indicate Howard is a Trump supporter, while the rest of the Mountaineer QB's he's watched in the past were all bleeding heart liberals.
 
Agree. He has an edge to him that's nice to see. All business it seems. Just hope it continues

Does that "edge" you speak of meaning that he makes 5-6 bad QB reads on the option and keeps the ball only to get 1 yard and a hard hit????? Personally, I think he has been mediocre thus far when you compare the opponents he's faced. Even Dana thinks so. I would grade him at a C or C-. But, who am I? Just my opinion. I am worried that he will struggle against faster teams, and teams that aren't in the Sun Belt or FCS. Just saying.

We'll see we've only seen two games. He just seems tough and I like his attitude. That's my opinion. Maryland will tell us a lot more.

It should...he'll need to show some elusiveness, and create something out of nothing quite a bit more in 2 weeks...make the correct decision when the heat is on...

Geno ...
 
Yea... ...I remember Geno telling the press he didn't want to start. ...he even suggested that he would have a teammate break his bones before he'd step on the field.

Yeah, you should try paying attention to what was actually said.
 
Let's look at the record:

NO turnovers.
21 for 26 in passing.
Hits Durante & friend in stride 40 to 50 yards out.
Terrible, Tyler. Yes, that's sarcasm.

Tyler is doing better than I thought he would, and manages the game and the possession well. Major improvements over 2014.
Is there room for improvement? Hell, yes, even Pope Francis could do better.

But against lower-level competition, Skyler has done the job. The defense is awesome.

Maryland looks weak, Oklahoma doesn't look as formidable. Oklahoma State, TCU and Baylor aren't as scary as they were to me before the season began.

The October quartet might be a WVU onslaught.

How the hell can anyone whine about WVU in 2015 after the team gave up 17 points, one TD against the second team defense, in 2 games. Completed 21 of 26 passes against Liberty. Has a QB who is No. 3 nationally in QB efficiency?

Let's dish up some Turtle soup in 2 weeks and then be an unstoppable tornado in Oklahoma!


M ighty defense throttled Georgia Southern, 44-0

O utstanding defense obliterated Liberty, 41-17

You should try to better express yourself because what I wrote is a sensible reply to your posts....which you now seem to think mean something different than the words you typed.

No, you should learn what a competitive edge is.........not my fault you didn't play sports.

This week your homework assignment is to learn the difference between a competitor and someone with talent that puts up a lot of stats.

Yea... ...stats are completely misleading. Let V know he should quit staring threads with them being the entire subject.

Yea, we have a QB with a 'competitive edge' over both GS and Liberty. Since you're such a huge jock (and can even know when another poster hasn't played a sport) shouldn't you understand that a player hasn't done anything until he has done something (beat teams) worth noting ??

I'll take the guy who will put up the stats over the guy that wishes he could every time.....

I'll take the guy that pushes himself to perform at his very best every time...and pushes his teammates to do the same. I'll also take a guy who enjoys winning over a guy who is just happy to win. I'll take a guy who is willing to let someone else shine, instead of just trying to pad stats.

I'll take the guy that just wins.

....you can keep pretending you're all about the high road....but your posts are starting to show that you just want to trash a former player while acting like you're the second coming of Jesus.
 
Olive branch post...

....why can't you enjoy what Howard offers without trashing a former player??

That's not really a question....just a thought that I'm sure many readers are asking themselves in regard to your posts.
 
Hail..................every one of the WV players................yesterday and today WANT to be on the field. Anyone who thinks different needs to get a life. I played many a game on the college and pro level and never felt like I was on the field with a single person who didn't want to be there.

Lol...the opening poster knows what a 'real' athlete thinks....

...and he knows you were never one of them.

Does this fella here look like he WANTS to be on the field??? You're damn straight he does!

If prior quarterbacks didn't want to be out there, why in the hell were they out there?? Maybe the goofiest post I have ever read on this site ( and there have been a lot of goofy ones).

He considers himself to be a board elder... ..as if his words are gospel.

I agree with you about SH. I like what I see so far, but I think we really need to see him against better teams to get a better look at him. Is anyone concerned with our running game? It seems like we either don't have a break away threat or the Offensive Line isn't doing a good job of run blocking....Time and the conference schedule will show more I guess. Can't argue with 2-0.

An olive branch post and then you continue to speak ill of me...whateves....

But why would you feel the urge to offer an olive branch post anyway? Am I not entitled to my opinion or do we all have to share your world view? And what's wrong with having players out there who want to win every play instead of those that just want to pad stats or are simply just happy to be on the field? What's wrong with wanting the guy who leaves it all out on the field...game after game after game..instead of holding something back? What's wrong with cheering for the guy who pushes his teammates to give their all on each and every play instead of one that's aloof? I like a little fire in my players....you can go hang out with the wet blankets.
 
Good grief! Confusion seems to rule the day with 3:16.

Geno had/has his faults. And sometimes his faults seem to create head games that limit his effectiveness. But that doesn't mean he doesn't want to compete.

Now it very well may be that Howard better understands how to approach the game and that may make him more consistent. But that in no way shape or form does that mean that Geno does not/did not want to compete.

3:16 .... since I detect this faulty thinking of yours am I to conclude that you really don't want your posts taken seriously? No! Of course not. And so likewise ... just because Geno has demonstrated some faults that affect his performance we cannot assume that he does not desire to compete.
 
Rumor has it that Chugs, Crest and Sills all want to get out there and compete. If any of them ever take away the starting job, I'll be behind them too. For now, Skylar is the man and he has a lot of moxie, which is a great word from the past and fits him like a glove.

Simple question: did Geno or a Geno led team ever quit on a game?
