- Start date
(1) New guy comes in and starts arguing with everybody in an abrasive manner.
(2) He gets called on it.
(3) Mangy varmint comes in and asks what is a goin' on.
That about sums it up.

If he starts, which is far from a guarantee.
If he doesn't get hurt. Not a wise bet in this offense.
If he doesn't expose weaknesses or other flaws by coming back with more film on him (and time for defenses to adjust).
If teams would feel that much better next year about a system QB with a killer team around him and 1-2 adjustments made for him before every snap.
If he doesn't feel that a few million is life changing by itself.
If he doesn't want to give himself another year of earning power.
If he doesn't want to play for free with all of the above uncertainty when he came here to make it to the NFL (like almost everyone else, he was just too vocal about it).

You are truly clueless if you think he'd go undrafted if he didn't start. Every single person on TV today has said he wouldn't lose stock staying at Ohio State even if he didn't start, and virtually everyone agrees his stock would either increase or be solidified by his staying. They also have insurance policies that would pay him more than he's likely to get paid getting drafted this year.

Agreed. He called his own number. The man pre-announced it. He pounded his chest before the pitch. He did NOT come to play school.

Time wharp... back to August of 2014
someone comes up to you and says "Cardale Jones will be drafted higher than any OSU QB outside of Schlicter... ever"
to which every one of you would have replied "of course.. no brainer"

His going pro completes this storybook season. He was not only fortunate enough to get his "golden ticket", but he freakin' earned it! Well done young man. Cardale Jones forever a Buckeye Legend.

Not "far" from a guarantee by a long shot. Many, if not most, expect him now to be in the driver's seat for the starting job.
Which is why they have insurance policies, which are paid only if a insure goes uninjured and gets drafted. Safe bet.
If he didn't display other "weaknesses" or "flaws" in those three games under those circumstances, chances are he either doesn't have them or they're insignificant.
Not sure what you're trying to say here.
Again, a few million, before cuts and spread over 3-4 years, is nowhere near a few million.
That's the risk: leaving early without giving himself to solidify or improve his stock.
He's not playing "for free"...he's getting a paid-for education at a highly-respected institution. He can still get to the NFL, likely at a much higher draft pick, by staying another year.

And how many of them have him higher than round 3 or 4? None have said he's a 1st or 2nd round pick...
