IDC about the big10 championship. The conference is weak overall. There's no real competition to OSU other than Michigan. Who finally got it done this year.

The reason Fields slid in the draft was due to his struggles against good defenses.

Stroud had one of his best games against a Juggernaut team in UGA.

I'd take Stroud over Fields 10/10.

And Fields had his biggest game against a Clemson team and won it. And played hurt. I want Stroud but I’d take Fields over him.

I’ll say this: much of my criticism at this point is that they had ideal situations to play in.

 

Our offensive line is solid and we kept our oline coach. 
 

If we add a TE (or develop one), perhaps another back and receiver in the draft…

…and our defense has talent. 
 

 

One of these quarterbacks could hit the ground running in an ideal situation. 
 

With Reich and this roster, it may be as smooth as it could get for a young QB beginning his career. 

as much as this team is maligned around here by some, this team is probably a TE or two short of being an ideal situation for a new QB to step into. 

with reich and an up and coming QB, there's no reason that we can't hit the playoffs in year 1. i really appreciated him talking about how if you are doing things right you should be having a quick success. no doubt that was a big part of the conversations he had with tepper and fitt after having to deal with rhule's poo.

What about Burrow tearing his ACL his rookie year, Herbert getting injured early this year, Corral couldn't even make it past preseason.  MAYBE it's a physical sport and a lot of young QBs will go down with injuries at some point.

Running the football on a regular basis increases the odds that a quarterback will get hurt. There is no guarantee than any player in football will not get hurt.

Also, sure let's get that Robbie Anderson contract worked out. 

This seems like you're implying that they shouldn't trade up for a QB, but this was not your initial assertion, which was that you don't think they would trade up. Feels like a pivot on your part to bring up Robbie as a slight on Fitt's decision making.

I think most injuries happen inside the pocket.  There is a correlation where franchises with running QBs don't build OL like they should because their QB can bail them out.  That's what happened with Cam and is currently happening with Fields (hopefully they correct this).  Cam rarely got hurt running the ball.  Getting drilled in the shoulder while trying to throw the ball is a completely different hit.

In his defense, it worked out pretty well. I don’t want a guy to go through a progression just for the sake of going through a progression. If the first read is open be decisive and get the ball out quick. It can be looked at positively in that way. We know if we can scheme his first read open that he will get it there. I don’t think it necessarily means he won’t look to his second and third reads if the first read isn’t there, that’s something for scouting to look at for sure.

It has worked out well for every OSU QB in college.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
