Troy Smith vs Justin Zwick

Well as all buckeye fans have seen, there has been some bickering going on about who should be the team's signal caller. Justin Zwick vs Troy Smith. Here is my thought on each and then who I feel should lead this team loaded with so much talent they don't know what to do with it. Mr Zwick- He was one of the most highly touted qb's coming out of massillon high school. People really thought he was gonna be the savior to the ohio state football team. He was redshirted and then caught some brief appearances backing up mcmullen and krenzel, and he looked like he threw a pretty good darn ball. Well after the krenzel days were over it seemed as if it was gonna be zwick's job to lose. well things weren't so bright after that. He struggled early and threw into coverage a lot. People started to rip his decision making and his throwing style as well. I feel for the guy being that we had no running game whatsoever. Watching Lydell Ross run the ball for 3 years is like watching open heart surgery. Not something you really need to see. Justin eventually got hurt in the Iowa game and didnt see the field until the Alamo Bowl. He looked good but lets face facts, the cowboys werent that darn good.This season- Justin was named the starter due to the fact that Troy Smith was still suspended. He looked great against Miami in the new found spread offense and hit all of our weapons all day long. Miami fans tried to say that 34-14 was a legit score but it really wasn't. They scored twice in the 4th against our 2nd and 3rd team D. Anyway he seemed to have a new swagger about him. He looked like a completely different quarterback instantly. The texas game, which we all would like to forget, he was pretty darn good too when he was in there. He had a few drops passes including the hamby mess. He fumbled at the end of course, but that was also a pretty good play by the texas defender. Now onto his counterpart.Troy Smith- Now my closest friends and even my wife know how I feel about this guy playing quarterback. I will be nice and try to focus on the positive hear. There is no doubt that he is a better athlete than Mr Zwick. He has the ability to run like a running back. He is quick and elusive, and is actually a pretty big dude as well. Everyone remembers the michigan game from last year and yes he was unbelievable on that day, but come on people we need some consistency. He throws the ball hard and yes he brings that running dimension. People always call it the other dimension which drives me up the wall. You have to have to have another dimension before you can have the other one. Now Zwick on the other hand only has one as well. So that is when we argue who should be that guy. There are positives and negatives to both guys. Who is my guy? Well I don't have the answer. It all depends on what offense they decide to run. For the record I don't claim to know more than the osu coaching staff, so please don't put me in that category. This is an opinion of course and I welcome any points of disagreement. You have to have an open mind to watch the buckeyes on offense anyway. We cheer for 4 yard runs now more than anyone. Anyway as much as I wanna say, run the spread with Zwick in there. He reads all his keys and tries to get it to our wonderful receivers. Now that we have Pittman in the backfield I am not so sure. I am likin this guy a lot. He hits the hole hard which we haven't seen in 4 years and he is quick. He put some weight on and he is not afraid to take some people on. I liked what i saw saturday formation wise agains the spartans. If they wanna run some more options and run out of the I more, then well smith is a better fit. They even were in shotgun formation with 2 tight ends and ran some screens. That seemed to work pretty well. Anyway, I don't wanna see the 2 quaterback system, which you can tell Tressel is not going to do. If he is gonna stick with smith, which it seems as if he is, stay out of the spread offense and tell our boy to look all over the field because this just in, we have some pretty good and fast receivers. Quit trying to make sportscenter and throw them the ball. Zwick can do that, but then yet we dont wanna keep running pittman out of the shotgun. Anyway that is my 2 cents on that. I will be back for the Indiana game! Go bucks
