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

[UpNorth_Buckeye]

If he is to be successful ..Green Bay New England New Orleans..he needs stability and a strong HC.

Would love for him to go to NE, sit for a few years like Rodgers did behind Favre, then take over. And Urban and Belichick have a good relationship.

It wasn't just the deep threat. Go watch a few of his throws in the NCG. He spun that ball through some impossibly tight windows (I'm thinking of the 3rd down conversion in the 4th quarter to Marshall, in particular) that Barrett, and hell...few QBs...can. He just adds a different dimension. But, again, I think we're fine with any of them...I'm just a Cardale guy.

The play that you are referring to comes at 1:04:50. Also check out the throw at 33:20 (an out to Vannett in the second quarter):

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.

Not sure he could do what he did year round, especially the bulldozing tackles, but the flip side is he could develop in other areas with experience. Dude has a difficult decision there are pros and cons no matter what he decides. Good on him for whatever he chooses, he has given buckeye fans more than they hoped for and for that he will always be taken care of by Buckeye Nation.

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 would take the guy who has 11 starts, put up 45 TD, broke numerous records, over a guy who started 3. Barrett can only dream of jones decision making? did you watch Barrett this year?

I dont see why Barrett couldn't have.

GTFOH, where did I say THAT. I said ARM, new guy. Your reading comprehension is what's funny.

Cardale would make for an interesting "30 for 30" someday. What if I told you...

It would be titled "3 And Out".

He showed sound decision making and he has an arm that Barrett and Brax can only dream of.

Mea culpa. I didn't mean to say JT's decision making is inferior, guess I should have added a comma. However, arm strength most certainly is. And he could not make some of the throws, and not just the Devin bombs, that Cardale showed he can.

So you just proved he didn't say that?

I did? Looks to me like it says
".....while showing sound decision making and an arm that Barrett and Brax can only dream of. ....."

Sure Arm Strength is, but as Meyer has proven over time thats only a plus for him in his system. None of Tebow, Leak, Smith, Harris, Braxton or Barrett had strong arms.

 

[NFBuck]

Christ, who gives a shit. Point is, Cardale had a magical run, and is likely now gone. I'd go with him for the reasons I mentioned, others would go with JT for their reasons.
