The only thing I disagree with here is JT redshirting, because he can't (he redshirted the 2013 season).

Technically that is incorrect - if he can't be cleared medically during this season (which does not sound like a possibility) he could be granted a hardship/medical redshirt after the season is over.
Braxton would also be eligible for a medical redshirt this year if he can't be cleared to play.

Don't you dare put not medically cleared and any of our quarterbacks together in hopes for next year!

Sometimes lucid, mostly confused
From my perspective, and how I understand Urban Meyer's offense is intended to be run (perhaps my perspective and understanding is flawed), only one of those 3 QBs has proven that they can run every concept in the playbook with high efficiency. That QB also appears to me to be tough as nails and a natural leader that makes those around him better. He has the ability to get the ball to any playmaker in any zone on the field, doesn't seem to have an ego that prevents him from allowing others to shine, but can also make plays when he needs to. Because the entire playbook is open to him, he provides more ways to get that next first down or score, and that makes him more difficult to defend as opposed to be able to have one or two defensive goals like limiting QB run/scramble or downfield passing combined with limiting the RB rush.
Again, you are talking about not having a player on the field who ran UFM's offense as well as it has ever been run - certainly at Ohio State. The yards and points prove it. Personally, I'm not for less efficient offense. That's why this shouldn't require a lot of thought. If it does, there must be emotional factors trumping the objective evidence.
Ohio State can win another CFB playoff with any of them, but if we are just considering who is more efficient and productive in the broadest ways, the guy's name who can do that is listed in the 2014 Ohio State and B1G record books.

Uh, no. He's already doing light drills and running if I'm not mistaken. There is absolutely zero, zero, chance that he won't be medically cleared for this season.

Actually, the interception was on Jalin Marshall when it bounced off his arms. Smith's fumble happened inside the Oregon 20 after a long run after catch.

Gotcha...
We were obviously talking about his current injury...
He played in two games in his freshman year (2010) according to his wiki page. The page also made no mention of any redshirt as he left Michigan after the 2013 season which was his senior year. Had he been injured during his freshman year (the one in which he played in only two games), then a medical redshirt would've been possible since he played in less than 30% of the games. That comparison doesn't come close to applying to Barrett since played in every regular-season game in 2014.

We could always take Golson when he transfers as an insurance 4th stringer. I'm sure our coaches could coach him up. lol

You don't say....
But if for some reason he weren't medically cleared, he absolutely WOULD be eligible for a medical redshirt.

If for some reason I were as good a QB as him or 12 Gauge, I'd have more eligibility than either...

Pounding out aggression, turns into obsession
I think I should start at QB. They can call me the double-double douce, since I'm 44 years old. And I'll win all my games and then blow up Twitter accounts and life will be good. And you will all worship me and call me Yertle, the king of all that I see! DO!
