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

Judging by BuckeyePlanet, you'd think Urban Meyer set his pre-injury depth chart in the exact opposite order of the quarterbacks' ability.

Ohio State's quarterbacks did well because skill position players improved and coaches gameplanned around weaknesses and inexperience.

Elliott did not become a better RB simply by the presence of Cardale Jones. If the threat of the deep ball alone made the run game better, why were Samuel and Marshall largely ineffective as ball carriers in the last three games? Elliott performed because he is a damn fine player, the OL mauled the other teams' front seven, and the coaches broke tendencies with their run game playcalling.

The deep ball threat won't be there as much even with CJ back though. Devin Smith was the man and many times made Cardale look good. Devin was a once in every 10 year deep threat. Cardale coming back can't replace that all by himself.

With the WR talent we have, not even worried about this. You don't even need to have great hands to stretch the defense, just have speed and a QB that can throw it that far.

Uh we put up 49 on Michigan State, who has a much better defense then both wisky and bama

Uh, no they weren't. Wisconsin's defense was, and still is--even after our beat down--ranked higher than Sparty's. And Alabama's is ranked only four spots below Sparty's, so your "much better" comment is, much like all your other posts, full of shit.

The kid can make a half-million bucks a year. Most people think that's not stupid.

Hell, most players on roster get anywhere between 100-250k workout bonus. This isn't soft money we're talking here. The kid can come back and get his degree at any point.

But since Cardale is announcing at Glenville, just tell him its a short ride over to the stadium. Hoyer and Cardale and get a jump start on breaking down film.

Zero guarantee for that, Mili. And keep in mind, I myself am of the belief 12 Gauge would come back and tear it up.

IMO it'd be a great move
QBs 1 & 2 have issues
Mariota still has mechanical flaws and not a monster arm
Winston's off field issues have GMs nervous as hell.. and many think Winston will not only not outgrow them but addl money & fame will make him worse
thus leaving Cardale as possibly the BEST QB option in the draft.. how ironic is that

thank you Cardale

^^^^^This. Everyone is talking about how Urban may have pulled off the greatest coaching year in college football history, yet somehow he just backed into it because he had it all wrong in the preseason? So on one hand we all anoint Urban GOAT Coach but he was clueless seven months ago when he had Braxton starting with JT as the backup then Cardale. C'mon man. Urban knows better who the best QB is, he watches them practice every day and he watches film. He made adjustments with which ever QB he had to go with. He obviously likes his ability to game plan with Braxton, the JT, then Cardale. For a reason. Because he is the GOAT coach.
