Sure Cardale... worry about preparing for Rutgers

Throwing McShay out there lol.... my point was Michael Bennett was once a projected 1st rounder (late 1st) and look what happened to him. Now throw in CJ'S struggles and some of his untimely decisions via social media and YOU could very well see CJ slip into the 3rd round.

Why are you so personally invested in CJ?

The Georgia fan with whom I took issue projected 4th-6th round. If you're going to chime in, please at least try to keep up.
Pardon me for, on a message board, refuting something that sounds incorrect. Trust me--saying something positive for CJ won't get you tossed out of the JT fanboy club.

Hahah...if I get kicked out of the fan club do I have to give back my JT embroidered pillow or..

I was following though why do you think I projected him better than a 4-6 rounder?

Edited to share that Mark Schlabach predicts him in the 4th round to New England which would be the perfect scenario for CJ. Learn the system and study from Tom Brady also states he will lead NE to two super bowls

Here's another article saying 4th-6th is off the mark. I'll wait for you to pass along a link to something other than your opinion. Until then, lolz.

given his physical traits, he's probably still in the 2nd-to-4th round range.

Sounds like he's being regarded by pro scouts pretty much the way I'd regard him.

Which is to say, he's likely to make more money next year than I am. By a pretty large margin.

Don't have Rivals sub or anything but with what Ross Fulton posted on twitter it makes sense when it comes to who the QB is now.



Really good conversation about the OL and Length that continue on twitter after that one.

There may be some method to this QB roulette madness.

I have been under the assumption that the Cardale offense was the only thing OSU has been practicing. I based that on Urban saying about 3-4 weeks ago that they are not running the zone read anymore, i.e. it isn't part of the offense. And yet, we have seen a ton of it the last 2 weeks.

Today I read somewhere that the wham/counter/whatever you want to call it (power run of the Cardale offense), is something that defenses have made a priority to stop, but Urban said that we will probably see it again (presumably when defenses have spent a week gearing up to stop the zone read).

Is it possible that Urban wants to have elements of both offenses available to make opponent defensive prep difficult, and give him easy adjustments to make - and that this has been the goal all along? It's probably more than possible, but more in the area of likely. If that is what is going on, and it works for 8 more games, the legend of Urban's genius will go to a whole other level.

Zincfinger,

I will never give up my membership. I love everything JT brings as a QB for Ohio State. But... if he loses 2 fumbles and throws 3 picks, I would have to suddenly get much quieter and less opinionated on the subject - which many can testify, is a difficult thing to achieve.

I think there is some pretty deep BS coming out of the WHAC, but it's good BS - for the sake of team and teammates. But I don't buy for a minute that players don't care who plays/starts at QB, nor do I think we can take seriously claims that the inside view is that everything has been fine with the offense all along. I know playmakers always prefer the guy who can get the ball to them best, and Urban himself after Hawaii, N Ill, WM, and Indiana consistently said, "We have to get that (multiple issues) fixed." You can't have it both ways. Either there were significant issues and things were not "fine" or there were not any major issues and things were right where they were supposed to be. I think our eyes tell is it was the former - and our brains should tell us that Cardale does not bear all of the responsibility for those issues. But his responsibility is not zero either.

I think Cardale should play. Against VT I expected JT to start, and Cardale to play a series a qtr, more or less, and maybe get some special situation time. I'd like to see them do something similar. Keep Cardale involved and engaged. Take the very top of the list of things he does best, and let him go out there and perform. Mainly, let him throw it 70 yards down the field. Even if he doesn't complete most of them, it will scare the bejeebers out of defenses. DO NOT put him out there and ask him to run zone read, lateral speed option, etc, I'm bald, but if I wasn't, I would be anyway for rubbing my head so much when I saw these plays being called for him. But for the sake of having offensive identity, converting 1st downs, and getting the ball into the endzone, JT is that guy. He did it last year, and he did it the last two weeks. He has given no one any reason to believe he won't keep doing it.

With Devin Smith gone and another deep threat yet to develop, I thought J.T. fit this O far better than C.J. but Meyer had to see what Jones could give him in different situations. It didn't work as planned and now the O should be more consistent with the guy who got them there last year. Stay healthy, J.T. and the Buckeyes can get back to the playoffs. 1 week at a time and don't lose focus.

Go Buckeyes !
