QB Cardale '12 Gauge' Jones (B1G Champion, National Champion)

[Taosman]

The Official website says he's 235 though he could have put on 10-15 lbs of muscle. Maybe 245-250ish? Wonder what Coach says about his ass? :tongue2:

He leaves that to the announcers

During the call in show a couple of weeks ago, Urban said that Jones showed up at 210-215 lbs. He's now up to around 255lbs.

6'5", 255 is still a big-assed QB. I can just imagine his having a Pryor-esque stiffarm...

And of course everyone would be saying the exact same thing if this was an Alabama QB, right? Or what about Michigan? Don't think there would be a few hundred posts about "kinesiology" here if that were the case?

It's not a non-story when it makes the team and/or the school look bad. I don't mean to "go all Maxbuck(TM)" on people, but I don't think this would be a non-story here if he played for Alabama, Michigan or Penn State.

Me, personally? Yeah, I'd say it would be a non-issue then too.

Move to fullback, no wait, linebacker

Or tight end or wide receiver. Must be something in the food he's been eating.

Can't argue with that. He could be a monster. I'm definitely not willing to concede JT Barret being the next starter at OSU. I think Cardale can put it all together and become a starter here.

Cardale Jones? efforts on the Ohio State practice field illustrate how spring football drills are about much more than honing a team for the upcoming season.

Barring injury, junior Braxton Miller will be the starting quarterback and senior Kenny Guiton his backup when the Buckeyes open the 2013 season.

But 2014 poses a different picture.

Guiton definitely will be gone, and Miller could depart early for the NFL ? if he has a better season than he had last year. That would leave Jones, a redshirt freshman, and freshman J.T. Barrett, an early enrollee who still is on the mend from the knee surgery he had last season as a high-school player in Wichita Falls, Texas.

The Buckeyes are in the hunt for a quarterback in the 2014 recruiting class, but Jones could be the one to beat a year from now. As a high-school junior, he led Cleveland Glenville to the Division I state-championship game, then spent 2011 at Fork Union Military Academy in Virginia.

Earlier this spring, OSU coach Urban Meyer said that Jones looked like a real quarterback ?for the first time? on the practice field. And in Saturday?s spring game in Cincinnati, Jones will be the only one of the top three quarterbacks who will be free to run and be hit; the coaches will take precautions with Miller and Guiton.

No. 12 Cardale Jones, redshirt freshman quarterback: Meyer said the Buckeyes will throw a lot on Saturday. While starting quarterback Braxton Miller and backup Kenny Guiton will be protected by black no-contact jerseys, Jones will be completely live and allowed to show what he can do.

He showed it already during a team scrimmage that built Meyer's confidence in the former Glenville quarterback, who is now in his second spring as a Buckeye.

“He showed that he can play quarterback at Ohio State,” Meyer said. “Up to this point, I had not seen that other than he threw the ball nice every once in a while. But he showed the energy you need to play quarterback.”

Third-string quarterback Cardale Jones lost two fumbles in his first two appearances in the third quarter, but he settled down. The only QB allowed to run freely and to be hit, he rushed for 37 yards on eight carries. He was 7 of 16 passing for 65 yards, but he also threw the game’s only interception, a pick in the end zone in the closing moments by Cincinnati native Kevin Niehoff.

Said Herman of third-string QB Cardale Jones, "His good is really, really good. But his bad is really, really bad."

Hmm, potential but no consistency. Good coaching and time should be able to fix that before next year.

It will be an interesting battle next spring b/w Jones, Barrett, and Collier (since he's coming in early for spring practice).

 

[stowfan]

I'm a huge Cardale fan. I saw him play in the Big 33 game, and compared him to a young Doug Williams. I hope he can learn the mental part of being a QB.

For the #2 spot, you mean? I don't see Braxton going early to the NFL.

 

[RugbyBuck]

This may not be the best place for the question but it's not totally out of place: As to the

For the #2 spot, you mean? I don't see Braxton going early to the NFL.

Yes, for #2. I certainly don't want to wish Braxton away early.

A very nice night in limited action for my main man Cardale. 5 rushes, 52 yards, 10.4 yard per carry average. He wasn't playing school out there last night.
