The Ohio State / Darnold QB Challenge


MHS831
 Share

Recommended Posts

Perhaps this makes you feel a little better:

Ohio State QBs that played in NFL:

Don Scott
Johnny Borton
Dave Leggett
Frank Kremblas
Ron Maciejowski
Greg Hare
Cornelius Greene
Art Schlichter
Jim Karsatos
Tom Tupa
Kent Graham
Bobby Hoying
Joe Germaine
Steve Bellisari
Craig Krenzel
Troy Smith
Terrelle Pryor
Braxton Miller
Cardale Jones

Dwayne Haskins

Remember, many of these were first rounders--franchise saviors.

So here is the challenge:  Pick ONE of the QBs from Ohio State's all time QB list who you'd trade for Darnold if both were  age 24.  Make a lengthy list if necessary.  Use an extra sheet of paper if you need to do so.

Art Schlicter came into the league with so much fanfare but, alas, he was JAOSQ... just another Ohio State quarterback.

This doesn’t work. Different coaches/schemes and players. Name a UT player that was great before Manning, LSU before Burrow, Texas Tech before Mahomes, and Clemson before Watson. It’s so hard to hit one a QB, few schools are going to have one or more that were great. Take away Carson Palmer and Darnold’s USC school isn’t looking too great either... Leinart, Sanchez, Barkley, Cassel, Booty (best name), Rodney Peete!

Bengals are probably happy they didn’t let Russell, Mettenberger, Flynn etc discourage them from drafting Burrow. It has to be case by case...

I asked a simple question--who would you trade for?  The rest is an inference as to what this means, one made by you, not me. Since Palmer and Darnold and I would argue Peete are better than anyone on the OSU list to date--the point to be made is--USC QBs have been mostly busts, but their top 3 are better than OSU's best.

I mean I agree Ohio State qbs have been horrible but what about USC qbs. Woah two colleges that don’t produce qbs that well.

😁Well, Carson Palmer was pretty good--and I am only asking if there is an OSU QB you would trade for Sam Darnold (a USC QB) if they were both 24.  That alone suggests USC QBs are better if you can't.

You said this would make us feel better. 
 

Why would answering this question make us feel better?

Oh no I get it. You can basically do the same with Alabama outside of Tua (who is still a question mark). It’s better to have a young QB that might not be terrible versus one we know is terrible. 
If we our bad this year I hope Mitch doesn’t prevent us from drafting Howell.

Should have been more clear--by not drafting Fields like so many wanted to do so--well, if you look at history, Fields would have to be the exception to a pretty consistent rule--although he may do well, they said the same thing about several other OSU QBs like Miller, Pryor, Smith, and Haskins--even Jones to some.

It really is amazing--Oregon before last year had a bunch of busts all the back to Fouts.  Bama QBs?  Namath.  UCLA--after Aikman?  It used to be Miami and Maryland, remember that far back?  Now you can throw Clemson, NC State (Gabriel, Rivers, and a bunch of low-end starters), etc.

Trying to discredit another young QB to make ourselves feel better about our starter probably isn't a good thing...

Well, I am discrediting the pipeline, not the player---he was not on the list.  And during the draft, isnt that all we do?

    • LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.  Mock drafts 
    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
