How do you feel about CJ Stroud

It’s also the OSU hate. I get it, I’m not a fan, but I’m also not going to deny obvious talent when I see it.

Yep. 

I don't fully understand the people clamoring to the OSU QB "omen". It's not like they've produced fools gold either.  They've only produced 4 1st round QBs...4!

2 being Don Scott and Art Schilcter...both irrelevant from by gone eras in a totally different game. 1940s and 1980s.  

There's been Dwayne Haskins and Justin Fields.  And teams in the league didn't buy them as even top-10 overall talent.  So it's not like there's even monumental busts. 

Not to mention, Haskins looked capable of running an offense, maybe a long term backup/emergency starter and then died.  He actually had a few pretty respectable games in his final starts before the covid ordeal. The Skins were the worst team for him to being drafted to.

And then, you have Fields who looks respectable this year.

I don't really see a trend and both Haskins and Fields are ENTIRELY different players. 

My 2 cents.

Stroud's intelligence, accuracy, & arm shows and his play speaks for itself.

Stroud my #1 by miles. The knocks, NFL team at OSU to work with, and plays a lot out of the gun, and slighter frame to hieght. 

Big deal on those. He makes the throws and has read defenses pre snap and made big reads and throws with pressure. 

He's a clear #1. If we have the chance, pull the trigger

If you are a fan of Ohio State, the problem with Stroud is that he doesn't play defense.

The fact that they did not put the ball in the end zone on the last drive was not on him.  He put the ball where it needed to be, his TE got his hands on it, he just didn't secure it and the DB made a great play.

That’s basically CatsFan lol. OSU gave up 38 points which means Stroud is somehow trash xD

Like I've said all year, if Iowa, Indiana, Purdue, Northwestern and any of the other Big 10 schools not named Michigan get to be in the NFL, then CJ Stroud is the guy.  But if he has to play against NFL talent, he will be lost and isn't worth a first round grade.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
