If you happen to follow Detroit Lions offensive lineman Taylor Decker on Twitter, you have probably noticed by now that he can be rather sensitive when somebody calls him out.
A week ago, Decker tweeted out his love for Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett following the Buckeyes 39-38 come-from-behind win over Penn State. In fact, Decker went as far as calling Barrett “the greatest quarterback in Ohio State history.”
JT is the greatest quarterback in Ohio State history. And I was lucky to play with him. Stay out of my mentions about it.

Well, that was then and this is now. On Saturday, Barrett led the Buckeyes into Kinnick Stadium and they were absolutely destroyed 55-24 by the Iowa Hawkeyes. It was a loss that is arguably the most embarrassing since Urban Meyer took over as head coach.
Following the game, Decker’s teammate on the Lions, T.J. Lang, had a simple question for him.
Do you still feel this way a week later? https://t.co/7Qol31ZLfc

Not surprisingly, Decker seemed to take the question personally. (Either that or he was just having some fun.)
The next tweet after that back-and-forth came from a Lions fan and it was perfect.
please use the arm that wasn’t injured! Haha #lions #beatgb

For the record, J.T. Barrett is not close to being the best quarterback ever to play at Ohio State so we award the win in this one to T.J. Lang.
