I truly love how spoiled we are as Buckeye fans. These are the QBs who started and we all wanted benched at times(and how their legacies are now):
Terrelle Pryor- erratic passer, and solely an athlete playing QB(left us all wanting that last season from him but still won 2 GREAT bowl games and got better every year)
Braxton Miller- essentially see above(one of the greatest athletes to hold a football in a Buckeye uniform)
JT Barrett- couldn't throw the deep ball, and relied TOO much on his legs(has almost every OSU QB record and one of OSU's greatest leaders)
Cardale Jones- cannon arm, but after the 2014 NC, and the up and down start to 2015, many wanted Barrett in instead(left as a legend due to winning a title in 3gms, and a great ambassador for the program)
Dwayne Haskins- relied TOO much on his arm, and wasn't the most mature of players(broke almost all B1G and OSU single season QB records)
Justin Fields- had one of the worst 1st impressions in the Spring game 2019, and had an up and down beginning to 2019(left as one of the most accomplished QBs in OSU history)

There are few programs in the country who have had this amount of consistent talent at QB. Sure all have had varied levels of talent, and not all reached their highest level of success, but they all reached success, outside of the 1 anomaly loss with Braxton as a frosh, ALL beat scUM, and all won B1G titles and bowl games. Fields at this point has set the bar at an insane level and has the best combination of them all, but even he wasn't immune to fans wanting his head. It's not hyperbole to say that Stroud can even exceed him, and yet at the start of the year fans wanted him benched for McCord and Ewers...

True, but you still didn't address why Stroud won't run the ball.

Best yet? We’ll know Saturday afternoon. I’m going to say, yes, and I’m chastened a bit. I thought his unwillingness to run showed a lack of killer instinct. I think that was wrong. Ending those poseurs’ championship hopes without breaking a sweat in essentially one half? He’s not kicking in doors; he’s killing you from 1,000 yds silently.

CJ now the odds on favorite in Vegas to win it at -200 versus Young at +110. Nobody else is even close.

There folks, is the all-too-rare correct usage of the term ‘odds on’.

To clarify for those not sure, the betting favorite is only the ‘odds on’ favorite if the odds result in your winnings being less than what you wagered (you also get back what you wagered), meaning the odds are less than an even money bet.
