THE BUCKEYE QB FIRST ROUND CURSE

Everyone is focusing on Young's size and hoping that it is not a factor.  Nobody is talking about the fact that Ohio State University has produced the following first round QBs (only 4, oddly) and there seems to be a curse!!:

Don Scott, 9th overall pick, 1941: drafted by the Chicago Bears.  Scott went to war as an Air Force Pilot and died in a plane crash during a training mission in England.  He never played a down in the NFL.

Art Schlichter:  4th overall PICK, 1982 draft. He was a bust. For his career, a total of 13 games with the Baltimore and Indianapolis Colts, he completed 45% of his passes and threw 11 interceptions and only 3 TDs. He went to prison for gambling and other stuff.  Was released at age 61 last year.

Dwayne Haskins:  15th overall selection, 2019. In college in 2018, threw for 5,308 yards and 54 touchdowns.  WOW.  To Compare, in 2022, Stroud threw for 3688 and 41 touchdowns--that is a difference of over 100 yards and 1 TD pass per game.  Haskins busted.  Tragically, was hit by a dump truck and killed last year.

Justin Fields:  11th overall selection, 2021 Draft.  So far the most successful, Fields has thrown 21 interceptions in the 25 games he has started in Chicago.  Of those 25 starts, the Fields led Bears have won 5 games.  His career passing percentage is below 60% and he is averaging less that 1 TD pass per game started.  So far, he is OSU's best NFL product at QB.

Justin Fields 'tired' of Bears being 'almost there' after another loss

The Buckeye curse is alive and well.   DO WE WANT TO TAUNT IT?

Well you have a very undersized college player and you have Stroud, who is more prototypical, and you have a team that had a choice kept Fields and the horrible record over either of those guys.  
 

And someone will fall. There are gonna be a couple of decent QBs come out of this draft but I am not sure it is either of these top two. 
That’s what we are dealt, we have to play it. Stroud if I am forced. Noticeable better arm and accuracy and is not 5’10” 185.

Just to add some fuel to the fire I plugged Bryce and CJ into a Body Mass Index calculator. Bryce I measured at his combine weight and listed weight at Alabama. The results kinda surprising:

  • Bryce Young combine BMI: 29.3
  • Bryce Young Alabama BMI: 27.8
  • CJ Stroud combine BMI: 26.7

Underweight = <18.5
Normal weight = 18.5–24.9
Overweight = 25–29.9
Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater

Meaning Young has more body mass than Stroud even at his reported playing weight. So who are you more afraid for on a football field? The short, stockier guy or the taller one who is 10-20 pounds heavier? 

 

C.J. Stroud is taller than Bryce Young and will probably add weight that will not hinder him but if Young adds needed weight, it will slow him down somewhat, hurting the part of the game his playing style depends on.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By jb2288 · Posted

      agree to disagree you are entitled to that opinion even though I find the argument completely bizarre based on data. I could type out a long paragraph discussing those areas but what’s the point. I posted a screenshot that showed Bryce in a similar post snap situation with a free rusher in his face which resulted in a TD - that’s what happened on the play so I posted it.

      I've already addressed this notion in a previous reply. You are basing your assertion outside reality if you think Bryce would have not only been more successful but defeated the Patriots in place of Herbert. Bryce got blown off the field by that Patriots team with the highest paid OL in the league. We've seen Bryce with an OL that gave up 65 sacks and it resulted in the #1 pick. And that is not a defense of Herbert or arguing he is a great QB in any way. He has physical talent but he has been similar to Darnold early in his career in terms of his very up and down perfomances. However that does not change the fact that they have significantly less invested in the OL than the Panthers.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      I think Tepper has been setting the stage where pending there is no miracle he wipes it all clean.  Think you already have been told that with small things like Evero staying.  Bryce is the guy next year.  OC, DC, everything stays the same.  QB room largely the same.  Nothing would really matter there.  They basically get one more shot and it goes how the schedule paired with our 27th ranked O predictably most likely goes.  Everyone out the door together.  Bryce is a bridge tier QB.  I don’t see Dave surviving where he could be bridge QB here in reality.
