Can anybody tell me what kind of QB he is? Strengths? Weaknesses? I have seen him play very few times but wanted to know if anyone had any good insight on him. Seemed to be able to throw pretty well.

Big arm, more mobile than Dane. I've described him as a hybrid between GJ (mobility and ability to throw on the run) and Dane (arm strength).Can anybody tell me what kind of QB he is? Strengths?

KA couple of people post a couple of positive things, and suddenly we aren't so down? Gosh damn, easily excitable doesn't apply to you. Course we already knew that.

People forget that he rated Tulsa very high in part because TG was one of the few willing to let him run track and told him he would play QB. That said, he was a project player. A track star with athletic ability on the football field. He developed into a good college QB in that system. Not every experiment turns out that way. Skipper can throw. He should keep throwing. We should keep recruiting guys who can throw. That is who we are. For the love of God, we are Rubley, not Cassano. We are Smith and Kinne. We win even with Green, not with Beaver or President.Not to get carried away, but he may be the closest thing Monty has had to RGIII
I think what Raisin Cane was saying was that he has running ablility and elusiveness. Yes, we do need to recruit people who can throw, but we also need a QB that can run when pressured as wellPeople forget that he rated Tulsa very high in part because TG was one of the few willing to let him run track and told him he would play QB.

Have you ever actually watched Chad? I don't know where it started that he doesn't have an arm, but that's just not true.People forget that he rated Tulsa very high in part because TG was one of the few willing to let him run track and told him he would play QB.

This is accurate. In watching Skipper in the spring game and in highlights, you can visibly see he throws a tighter spiral and thus an easier ball for receivers to catch. And it's not just on the long passes where Skipper has that advantage IMO.President's long ball is inaccurate and wobbly. That's the thing that scares me about him. I think he would be a turnover machine.
God I hope not. Hoping Skipper gets stronger as the season goes on.
Hmph, I thought that was part of the sarcasm. I have a hard time buying that. Maybe they are giving him the opportunity to lose it so he will stay with the program, instead of transferring. From what I saw in the spring, I can't believe that comment is on merit. But maybe he wasn't showing what he could do at the scrimmage. I can't believe he could have improved dramatically enough after the scrimmage to leapfrog over Skipper. Possibly they've been hiding his ability from the public, to grass OSU?I would have guessed Skipper but last I had heard about President was literally "it's his to lose." But ehh, that could be wrong since lawpoke heard different. Plus lots can change in fall camp.
Lol we have a former QB in an NFL training camp who we heard on here repeatedly wasn't D1 material.Doesn't mean the QB will be bad. Some said Dane needed to be replaced up until the middle of last year. Just a little sarcasm based on the comments and the fact that it's probably President's job to lose at this point
Skipper is a pup and he will act like one. He has all the tools to be successful but it takes snaps regardless of what anyone thinks or expects. The game will start to slow down hopefully by the time we start hitting conference play. Year 2 is when it really slows down.
Fortunately we have two terrific backs to take the pressure off if Ramadi takes care of business. They and the veteran OL will be a young QBs best friend. Pump the rock to the backs and take easy play action shots and quick game. Last year was a heavy veteran team. We rode the old guys and their experience to a great year. This year can be solid but make no mistake it's a rebuild year because of the QB and top two WRs graduating. We all hope it's plug and play but that would be atypical IMO. The first four are grow up time. End of September is when the season starts IMO. Here's to a great year.
Was thinking the same thing. TJ threw for about 350 and OSU won't have Barry Sanders(Sr.) to go off for 5 against us. (well 4 actually-I will always say that we stopped him a yard short on one of those but the ref gave it to him anyway.) TU Football: 1st,last,always!Let's hope for a first game like Rubley had against OSU.
