Fucking hell, my point was just that we can't dismiss out of hand the possible knock-on effect of an injury as to his already harried pocket presence. I'm not saying that will happen or that the surgery wasn't and rehab won't be successful. It is a legitimate question to which we'll just have to wait for the answer and see how he handles it.

The point isn't, I've had the surgery, it worked and I was fine so he will be. Hopefully, that is the case, but I've played with dislocated elbows, chronic stingers, a torn labrum, broken nose, etc, and whether you agree or not, it's in your head when you're back out there. The question is just how you work through it and whether it affects your performance and/or makes you more likely to be re-injured or to sustain a new injury because you're too focused on the old one.

Bonus points for the use of “Fucking hell” for @RugbyBuck!

If we stay on this track we see now, how does TSC stay after being passed up by a younger guy?

He’s only got 5 years. Needs to play somewhere.

One note. He doesn't necessarily only have 5 years. He's one of those special snowflakes that have 5 years or the old rules whichever is more advantageous to the players.

This young man has been more important to the team than many have given him credit for.

I'm sorry Mr. Sayin, I was unfamiliar with your game.

He was the distributor that helped 4 mask all that was wrong with this team against mid or bad opponents.

He was who he was as soon as the opponent could hit back and bring pressure.

To be fair, this was enough to get a 20-point lead at Texas, hand a good Iowa team its worse loss in a decade at Kinnick, and beat Indiana in Bloomington. OSU honestly probably wins comfortably if he doesn't go down despite playing like absolute ass that game lol.

Well Iowa isn’t a team that brings pressure so there was no doubt he could carve them up.

Point is teams like Texas and IU are what he’d face in the playoffs and he was limited against those kind of teams.

It isn’t the same thing as not being good.

Sayin was high floor/low ceiling.

Backups appear to be low floor/unknown ceiling.

The rest of the team is so weak the floor Sayin provided was covering a true mess.

I agree, Jax. Julian Sayin is a great quarterback when he has protection and time to throw. Excellent accuracy with the short and long ball. Does not see wide open receivers not named 4. When the pocket collapses around him and he takes a few hits, he plays differently. Early in the season, I watched SEC games every week to see if their game had dropped.

When I saw Kentucky play the first time, my first reaction was that Ohio State would get beat badly because of the pressure on the QB. Sayin's return will not solve anything without reasonable protection. Buckeyes need to get serious about recruiting top linemen next year.

reasonable protection and/or route trees that aren't sequoian.
