Follow Ups:

• Right, but we know that only in hindsight. Nobody saw the Iowa loss coming 7 days after that PSU win. * - Mr.C [13:18:30 01/24/23]
  • I am not referring to hindsight. He should have been able to look at what both offer and make the right choice. - Walt Grace [13:25:54 01/24/23]
    • Joe had a broken right throwing hand in 2017 putting him out for most of the year. Dwayne was not physically ready (m) - Barrett777 [14:21:04 01/24/23]
    • He did and he did based on a long history of excellence in decision making. * - TellMe [13:48:26 01/24/23]
    • We don't know that 2017 Haskins/Burrow were better options than JTB, though. It's possible but not conclusive. * - Mr.C [13:31:35 01/24/23]
      • But didn't you ever get the feeling that we were testing the definition of insanity w/Barrett? * - 00BuckShot [13:51:18 01/24/23]
        • Not up to and through that PSU game - the 2017 offense was destroying everyone but Oklahoma - Mr.C [14:34:57 01/24/23]
