QB Kyle McCord (transfer to Syracuse)

All will relate to how each QB moves the team down the field, and scores in the red zone. With the WRs on the field, all it's gonna take is the OL to hold them off for 3 or so seconds. Same with the RBs. Hit the holes and go for a bunch. That will give whomever is QB1 a better chance to make a play. Do like that with two 'experienced' QBs, there will probably be more times the QB takes off. Day really couldn't risk CJ that way. Predicted that CJ'd run more in game with GA, and so it was. Mostly, believe we'll put up points, hopefully the D will stiffle the opponents offense enough.

I'll just speculate that if Brown is named QB1, McCord will be gone. He has "sat" 2 years already waiting his turn, he'll be a Junior. I can't see him staying to be QB2 behind a Sophomore, etc.

I think that’s why getting the transfer at QB was so big. Regardless of who wins the QB battle, theres a veteran in the room

There were problems with the offensive line this year. Those problems did result in the final interception in The Game. McCord did miss reads on open receivers all year, improving as the year went on, but still not meeting the standard. His limitations are well articulated here.

What disappoints me is the level of discussion on BP about him and others on this team. I refer to the personalized derogatory nature of it...to the fact that positive comments are almost always met with such toxicity and poison...repeating again and again the same tropes.

McCord is a kid. Any of us who have spent a lot of time around them as professors know very well how this toxicity affects them and others on the team. Of course, the response is that they must put on their big boy pants, yet it is strange that the nature of posts by the most toxic of posters recently suggests that it is the posters who need to put on their big boy pants.

One can say the same thing about the acidic commentary about Day. I lived through Cooper too, but that does not justify making the same negative points again and again about Day or reviving a Cooper thread just so we can relive that era.

There is no sense in seeking to close out every discussion and mire this board in the same negativity and toxicity that must needs characterize not only the majority of BuckNuts posters but the lives of the posters here who spill such venom.

The vision behind the founding of BP was to have a place where people who understood football could meet and discuss the Buckeyes and college football in particular. There was wonderful content by posters such as LJB, OSUGrad, etc. One learned a lot about football coming here. The same can be said about basketball, wrestling, tennis, gymnastics, diving and other sports.

People who continued to whine after a loss and express such negativity soon found themselves out the door.

We all get it. For some, even most, of us, McCord didn't meet the standards we have come to accept at Ohio State. It has been said over and over. We can assume that he has done his best and it is certain that he will find some place where he will shine using what he learned here.

So, please shut up and wish this kid and the team he leaves behind well.

Give him a clean pocket and open receivers and he’ll be great.
Let‘s see him make progressions and/or move his feet.

I get the disappointment for Kyle last season… the problem is he had a freaking high bar set for him by Haskins, Fields and Stroud.

Of course he was disappointing when compared to those guys.

I will be absolutely rooting for Syracuse this year as a second hand team as I did for Burrow.
