This is going to suck if he goes to Happy Valley, which would make a lot of sense considering where he is from. The biggest thing holding those fuckers back has been the QB play and Kyle would jump right in there and be their best in a long damn time.

What is up with the Happy Valley talk? If the reason that he is leaving because the competition had opened up? Why would he go try to compete with someone who has been in the system for a couple of years?

Wish him the best, and I think it's for the best. Fans were ready to lynch CJ after that first Minnesota game, but he ended up in NYC that December. That level of growth or anything approaching it just wasn't there with McCord. Starting over is the best thing for him and for the Buckeyes.

I'd argue a good chunk of the fanbase wanted him benched till he put on an absolute show in the Rose bowl.

I was hoping we'd get such a coming out party for McCord even if not to the same level. But sadly it's not to be

Have seen numerous mentions on the web for McCord to go to Rutgers (as his dad did)...
interesting but Rutgers offense is geared toward a mobile/running QB.. which ain't McCord
altho Rutgers offense style for a QB could be because they don't have a passing QB
McCord's dad put his son in a major predicament... if he isn't lights out wherever he goes, he has no NFL career

Ciarrocca is pretty flexible - he had more spread looks this year because of Wimsatt, who I believe was one of, if not the, highest rated recruits ever? He ran a much more pro style offense with Tanner Morgan at Minnesota previously.

That said - I really have no idea where he'll go but there are some ACC options that have some pretty clear openings at QB and I would guess being back on the east coast would be alluring to he and his family.

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.

This. My chats with Steve Bellisari and the toxic climate (at that moment) at the site where I got started posting were major drivers in BP’s birth. I wanted a place that didn’t depress players, and didn’t drive recruits away. Over the years we’ve had players reach out at the end of their college careers literally expressing gratitude for being a place they felt comfortable sending their families

Mangold’s dad was a regular here (and I only say that because he chose to be open), we’ve had players and their family members come and go. We don’t take those people as novelties, we don’t leverage those connections to stoke our own egos (no one here ever hid in a bush stalking players or setting their daughter up with them while offering live updates from private rooms — old crew will get that reference). We simply choose to be a place where we’d be comfortable with a player’s mom reading what we write. Doesn’t mean we can’t be critical, but it should be thoughtful, fair, and remember that (paid or not) these are still kids.

Respect. Plain and simple.

Look, I don’t own or operate the site anymore. But those who do are people who have been here all along. I feel very comfortable saying that the “BP way” when it comes to respect for players, coaches, and their families should never change.

And I’m going to challenge everyone and say that if there’s something that injuries that philosophy to the point you want to stay away from the site — rather than go, shut it down and defend/protect what we’ve created here.
