Ohio State QB's suck Balls!
-
The NFL is far superior talent wise, but College football is more enjoyable to watch. IMO
unless you root for that school up north

They are not trained in the NFL fashion.
All of them?
Idk where the OP came from, and the wording is a little harsh, but OSU QBs haven't exactly been the most successful in the NFL.

Yes, I did say all of them. Can you name one or more OSU Qb's that played in the NFL and had a successful career and didn't suck balls?

That "all of them" response was to Gipper and him saying they weren't trained for the NFL

More better QBs have come out of Purdue than just about any school. Yes, with all that Purdue has still always been a weak sister. OSU has produced as many good RBs, WRs, OL, DL, LBs, DBs as about any school...but yea, not really good pro QBs. About the best was Mike Tomscak.
(but think about it.....besides the obvious....and one of the best of all time....Mr. Brady...who wasn't really all that in college....Michigan has not produced much beyond average QBs either. Grbac/Brian Griese....who else? Not much to write home about.)
I mean, you could say that NO school has produced one guy as good as Brady.....maybe Tenn. with Peyton, ND with Joe Cool, Northwestern with Otto, Louisville with JU.
Yea, it seems that Stanford and Purdue are the QB schools.

Uhh... I would say you could go a ways down Michigans QB list before you hit OSU level. Hell, what recent OSU QB has had the success of Henne?
Idc about the schools success in college, or with other positions. We're just talking QB. You also made the assertion it was because they weren't trained for the NFL. I think that's BS honestly. Plenty of not pro style college offenses have produced NFL QBs. Also, you have always been a spread

When you think about maybe you could include the big ten in general as not having a lot of QB's that played good in the NFL. There is Brady and Brees of course. Bob Greise Sr. Going back 40 years it doesn't seem there have been alot. I'm not talking about backups coming in after the starter gets injured and plays a couple of games or finihing a season out, I'm talking legitimate Starters.

Brady and Brees go above and beyond "legitimate starters"

Here is the list of QBs that both OSU and Michigan have sent to the Pros. Here I am listing anyone that posted even as low as a 1 on the PFR Career Production Average stat:
Michigan
Tom Brady 145
Brian Griese 53
Elvis Grbac 46
Chad Henne 26
Todd Collins 11
Larry Cipa 1
Ohio St.
Tom Matte 67 (While listed as a QB/RB....nearly all his production came as an RB)
Mike Tomscak 43
Tom Tupa 29 (his production was split between QB and Punter)
Kent Graham 20
Terrelle Pryor 7
Troy Smith 6
Art Schlichter 4
Bobby Hoying 3
Joe Germaine 1

You forgot Jim harbaugh, 78.
Also, maybe we'll get to add Denard to that list in a season or two...
Anyway, (removing the guy that played HB), that would mean Michigans top 4 QBs are higher than OSUs highest.
But, all of this aside, the point I was making was I felt your assertion that OSU doesn't have alot of hugh producing QBs on that list because they "are not trained in the NFL fashion" is not really legitimate. Unless OSU has been a run spread for a lot longer than I thought.... But even then, we get NFL QBs from those systems.

Norm Van Brocklin Oregon
Warren Moon Washington
ACC:
Sonny Jurgenson Duke
Jim Kelly Miami
Dan Marino Pitt
Johnny Unitas Louisville
....big maybe: Rivers NC St.?

Independents and smaller schools:
Joe Montana Notre Dame
Terry Bradshaw La. Tech

Right. I missed him...not sure how.

He doesn't play QB in the NFL, does he?

Grbac and Griese had careers about the same as Tomscak.....but definitely Harbaugh and Brady have been better.

OSU HAS run the spread or something like it a lot longer than you thought (option QBs). Going back to Rex Kern and Cornelius Greene, Rod Gerald. Even Herbstreit was primarily an option QB, Stanley Jackson. Even Craig Krenzel....if you recall the championship game he won, he did a lot of it with his legs. And lately, Smith, Pryor, Miller, Barrett.....all as much run oriented as pass oriented.

You forgot Brian Hoyer Mich St
You expect to make the HOF, eh? Cute.

Ohio State has had its attempts at having 'pro style" QBs start for them......Schlichter, Greg Frey, Jim Karsatos, Tupa, Kent Graham, Hoying, Tomscak.
The fact is, that sort of QB has not had as much success for them as the more running QBs. And those guys did not translate into successful pros....with the limited exception of Tomscak.
In the early 70s Michigan had their better success with "option" type QBs with Dennis Franklin and Rick Leach. But then they went to the "pro style" guys for a long long time with the likes of Steve Smith, John Wangler, Harbaugh, Michael Taylor, Harbaugh, Collins, Griese, Brady, Henson, Navarre, and Henne. Recently with Robinson and Gardner they have gone back to a more running/option/spread type of game.

I would think there's a difference between a run first spread option QB and a QB that can also hurt you with his legs. I'm guessing NFL types know this.
Also, I mentioned Denard as a "what if" because of the first guy you listed that was mostly a HB

While Matte was primarily a HB, he did occasionally start at QB. ( I doubt that Robinson will ever start an NFL game at QB) In fact, Matte famously started at QB in a post season game for the Colts. Johnny Unitas was hurt, backup Gary Cuozzo was hurt, so Matte had to start at QB for the Colts vs. the Packers. Here is the famous wristband that he wore that day which can be seen in the PFHOF:

I remember watching a special about that on NFL Network. And I saw it in Canton.
No, the Jags would have to have some crazy shit happen at QB for Denard to play. There was a much better chance of something like that happening decades ago.
