According to friends of mine who follow the OSU program intently, that is most certainly NOT Cardale's most important focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) I don't blame him. Scouts are saying he could be the 4th QB picked. But I think what he needs more than anything is experience. He should come back and would be much more prepared. I don't care how much he works with a QB coach off the field, etc. Nothing can replace game experience. He would be much better off coming back to set him up for a longer term career. Though Jones is the better NFL prospect, Barrett is the best fit for Urban's system of the 3 QBs and its fine with me if he goes.

Sisyphean Bills Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 No biggie. I heard Urban Meyer's 6th string QB is better than Joe Montana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plenzmd1 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I think he needs to play college ball for one year and get some more experience. Seeing as how that will prolly not happen at Ohio State, he needs to go to a FCS School, like maybe one here in Richmond VA, one in whichh I own season tickets!

Barrett has 3 more years of eligibility, and not really an nfl prospect (but awesome college QB) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 It's amazing, people fooled by the same type of player every single year. Hopefully there is someone in his life who will put the kid's best interests in front of their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 According to friends of mine who follow the OSU program intently, that is most certainly NOT Cardale's most important focus. He tweeted once that classes were pointless since they were there to play football. So yeah, that statement was odd, unless he truly has matured.

Mr. WEO Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) According to friends of mine who follow the OSU program intently, that is most certainly NOT Cardale's most important focus. No doubt. He said it most eloquently; "we ain't come to play SCHOOL, classes are POINTLESS". Anyone know waht his degree is? Hard to find. Anyway, with that 3 game resume, he's ready.

peterpan Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I dont believe we are allowed to link bleacher report articles but here is a quote from one on this topic: "He has to go back,'' said Phil Savage, executive director of the Senior Bowl. Savage is also the former general manager of the Cleveland Browns and director of player personnel for the Baltimore Ravens. "Jones would be a midround developmental candidate at best.'' I was able to watch all three of his games and I think that kid is a real gamer. His pocket presence is great - much better than EJs. His mobility is great - better than EJ. He is BIG like Roethelsburger. He has a huge arm - better than EJ. Accuracy looks decent, he completes big throws that are completions in college but would likely be defended by tighter coverage in the NFL. Its impossible to tell how well he was reading defenses with the TV angle but it did appear to me that he went deep with his passes when he could and that he found his check down routes when he was under pressure. IMO this is the type of guy a team really should take a flyer on. Physically, he is a beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted William's frozen head Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 No doubt. He said it most eloquently; "we ain't come to play SCHOOL, classes are POINTLESS". Anyone know waht his degree is? Hard to find. Anyway, with that 3 game resume, he's ready. Just like Rob Johnson was ready. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandius Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Unless he wins the starting job next year, a case can definitely be made that he should go pro. Mid-round pick? That doesn't sound too bad. If he gets benched for two years, he's not going to do better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plenzmd1 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Anybody care to hazard a guess on his Wonderlic? Seems like a pretty smart guy to me the little I have heard interviews. Plus, seems very smart on the field. Prolly no Fitz, but my guess smarter than the average bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I think that coming out is definitely in Cardale's best interest. He has all of the physical tools and will be off of the board by the end of the 2nd. There isn't a lot of tape on him to be picked apart like Matt Barkley for example. He should come out and just workout at his pro day. What he has out there now is the tape of a pro QB. He's kinda Ben and kinda Culpepper. Let some team draft him on his potential.
