Cardale

  • Cardale threw a pretty touch pass near beginning of their first TD drive. Something like a 15 or 20 yd crossing route as I remember.

    I still see a raw, Big Ben clone who stands in and surveys the field. Only question is whether he's reading D's or looking for open guys. Appeared to be the latter on the INT he threw. But you can bet he's working hard or else Urban would not be riding him.

    Bottom Line: same potential as last year at a falling price.

    As for ranking... no... not looking like #1, but...

    #2 Michigan St. did not show well enough to unseat us.

    #3 Ole Miss got skunked.

    #4 and 5, TCU and Baylor, both won big and will be on our heels, but until the committee meets we're safe.

    #6 and lower... not leap-frogging TCU and Baylor.

    That's exactly how I feel, Tour. A mid round Cardale makes a great project. I'd be excited.

    Oh sure it is. Nobody will turn on him because he's from Ohio State.

    Also the homers will shit the bed if he doesn't start day 1.

  • Last year's OSU had Devin Smith, the best deep ball WR in Ohio State history and arguably in the entire history of college football. He averaged 21 yards per catch over all 4 yrs at OSU, 28.2 his senior year [tops in the NCAA].

    Cardale has touch to every spot on the field, but he's still just a first year starter.. with all the inexperience that implies.

    The plays aren't different.. in fact, last year Cardale only had routes on one side of the field -- so that his read would be simpler. Last year, the base play was Smith runs deep and one or two come into the area vacated by the go route. This year, that's not available.

  • Cardale sucks.

    But weren't you just saying we shouldn't turn on our QB? So this should make you happy.

  • OSU is still number 1, no doubt.

    It's not MSU, TCU, Ole Miss, or Bama. It HAS to still be OSU at this point.

    Why? Did you also take this position with FSU last year?

  • He's from Columbus.

    Last year, some teams actually had a case to unseat FSU from the spot, at this point in the season, no team has shown anything to take OSU's spot.

  • JT Barrett is the best QB I have seen at tOSU. I have no idea why Urban wants to start Cardale. He makes bad decisions.

    Remind me who they were. Pretty sure I recall there not being a dominant team last year either.

  • Cardale jones really hurt his stock by not coming out last year

  • This kid is no answer.

    Miss State,after they beat then #2 Auburn and 3 near losses to NC State, Cuse adn CLemson for FSU they jumped 'em. No one so far this season has done anything close enough to unseat OSU.

    Correct we should not.

    So...

    We should probably stay away from drafting Cardale.

    I remained loyal to Charlie Frye probably longer than I should have because I went to Akron u.

    But again no you shouldn't turn on your own players. Unless maybe they do something truly horrendous.

    Do you have some sort of objection to that?

  • cardale is who alot of people thought he was, a project. He would have duped some team, possibly the Browns...if he had come out last year. He needs more time. The guy wants to throw a laser beam with every pass, it's like before every snap the OC has to whisper calming things in the ear piece to remind Cardale this is a "touch" route so pretty fucking please don't throw a 100mph heater that is past the receivers facemask before he has the chance to break off his route and face the ball. He's not a 1st rounder for sure. I'd still take him in the later rounds if he was there and there wasn't a better player available.

    I don't believe Cardale would be met with the same resistance that Johnny faced.

    A few reasons. 1) Hometown kid 2) Buckeye 3)Work ethic & attitude

    You won't see him having to check into rehab less than a year after being drafted. If he doesn't start day one, I doubt you'd hear a peep.

    ☆no you missed my point people would put up with anything from a Buckeye that they would not form an Aggie.☆

    ☆ 1 + 2 yes for sure 3 who knows? At any rate is wonderful playing days for the last three games of last season . He doesn't look like a nationwide phenomenon this year so ... ☆

    ☆ I think you would after the first incomplete pass or whoever the other starter was.☆
