No, he doesn't have the better arm and he doesn't make as many wild plays. That does not mean he isn't the better QB.

he is a better game manager. those two bombs really got his confidence going early though and helped a ton

With this defense, we don't need a spectacular QB. Just one that doesn't turn the ball over 3 times a game.

JB had 2-3 "OH CRAP" plays against a top ten defense. SJ has had double that against crappy teams like Iowa and Western Illinois.

Sometimes the fans are right about playing the 2nd string QB and this was one of them.

Part of a quarterback's skillset is leadership. Barnett is the better leader.

TCU wasn't a top 10 team.

Look, it looks like putting in Barnett was the right call, but can we please use actual facts instead of making **** up?

In our offense he may be the better QB. His limitations were more inline with what we are not good at as a team anyways, and he did better at not marginalizing what we are decent at.

A W on the road against a ranked team- heck of a win. Has to feel good for JB doing it in his home state too.

we are a better team with JB at QB. I will say that.

Whole team played a solid game today. Proud to upset the #15 team on the road... and the funny thing is, no one is that shocked!!

Statistically they were a top ten defense coming into today I believe.
