With the way twitter is today, and how kids like to toy with people, you never know. Maybe he just wants to build some well deserved excitement. I wouldnt be shocked if he stays... maybe thats the selfish side of me. Last week I thought going was in his best interest, but right after we raised that trophy, I didnt want all of this to end.

Agreed about Miller, and I think it would be crazy to start either Miller or Barrett over him, but something tells me Cardale wouldn't be the starter next year if he returned.

What would be crazy about Starting Barrett over Jones? i think it would be the other way around. Barrett just put up 45 TDs as a freshman and was the reason we even had a chance at the playoffs.

If he leaves, it will cement his mythical status at OSU--guy comes out of nowhere, puts together three wins against three great teams (his only three games as a starter), culminating in bringing a national championship to Ohio State. Then, he's gone, just like that. It really would be an unreal story.

I don't think either would be crazy, but I would go with the guy that beat three top-ranked defenses and the top-2 seeds in the playoff to close out his NC run. And played well while showing sound decision making and an arm that Barrett and Brax can only dream of. Don't get me wrong, I know a case can be made for all three, but I ride the guy that just won me a consensus NC.

I'd say it's a made for Hollywood script, but it's already been done...

Well, I think that's with the caveat that Braxton is healthy. Obviously if not, then that wouldn't be accurate.

Jerome Bettis on His & Hers brought up great points about how much better the offense was with Jones, as a strong pocket passer, in Meyer's system. He thinks Jones is the best fit for Meyer's offense, and I agree.

Jones has showed an ability to win the biggest of big games, displaying a multitude of skills while doing so. Could Barrett have won those three games too? I don't know, maybe. But I'll take the guy who I know can do it.
