He got benched in the championship game. He was still good, Tua was just the better college QB. Hurts wasn’t going to get drafted as high as he did until Riley had him looking like a better passer at Oklahoma.

He wasn't good at Bama. It was Tua that got Saban to finally break out of his old school three yards and a loud of dust offense and join the modern offensive game.

Maybe I’m remembering it wrong then. I thought he was still a good college QB, they just ran him more.

Wrong! Hurts was very good at Bama but Tua was better. Hurts was getting offers to start for other top programs so should he had stayed to backup Tua. What would you do? 

And what goes around comes around as Hurts had 2 clutched TD while under pressure to come from behind to beat the mighty Georgia Bulldogs, so don't ever say he wasn't good at Bama. Saban loved him and didn't want him to leave. And Hurts was in that draft class where 3 QB went in the top 6 where no other team needed another starting QB otherwise Hurts would have easily been drafted in the 1st round as well. Teams just don't draft QB that high if they don't need one.

And Sanders who played for both Hurts and now for Bryce said they have so many similarities like leadership and work ethics where they were the first to come in and last to leave among teammates unlike Buckeyes QBs like Fields and CJ who were the last to show up and the first to leave, so hows that for leadership? Yet it seems like most everyone wants CJ now after week 2 LMAO.

He was very good but most NFL teams want great physical attributes with big cannon arms as franchise QB which is why Brady and Montana were drafted so low yet both has notable intangibles while at Michigan and Notre Dame to games from behind under pressure. I do remember one game where CJ was under pressure which rarely happens since OSU was so good and he choked big time. Still I hope CJ will succeed in the NFL and not end up like Sam D with his big arm.

He is off to a good start.

Yes that's what having a big arm can do and hope it will continue cause it would be great having a Buckeyes QB to finally break the failure rate once they turn pro. However, i would still take Bryce even if he stunk it up tonight cause I followed enough college games to know Bryce will be a winner in this league. Maybe not for the Panthers who tend to dump them due to their impatience. So was it Baker's fault he struggled for us yet he playing great now for the Bucs?  We tend to go thru QB like swiss cheese while losing most of our draft capitol in the process needed to rebuild this team.

Meanwhile in DC...

Mind you, this is from a not-so-reliable Twitter account, but it brings to mind a potential scenario.DC

If the Commanders new owner were to fire Ron Rivera midseason (or even after) would Eric Bieniemy be promoted in his place?

Might Ron have unwittingly hired his own replacement?

The Commanders are doing some very un-Rivera things in short clock situations. Both games they've gotten the ball deep in their own territory right before half and been very aggressive. Classic Ron hands the ball off and jogs to the locker room in those situations. But, you couldn't beat the smile off Ron's face after the game yesterday with a baseball bat so whatever is going on he seems very okay with it.

They better get rid of Ron because Bieniemy will get a HC job somewhere if this continues.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.

      Sounds like Veesaar is entering the draft. He could always test the waters and pull out and return but without him our big men look like a serious liability. Better do something in the portal. If they don't do something about this portal madness my days as a college sports fan are probably numbered. This bullshit of having a nearly entirely new team every season is gonna get old fast.
