[Eye Cue DA COLI GAWD]

logan thomas was once thought of being teh number 1 pick breh, till he got figured the hell out
plus all it takes is a injury, a concussion, end up ike trickett or jordan wynn

Did Logan Thomas beat Wisconsin, Alabama, and Oregonin succession to win a ring.

Yiu nikkas stay stuck on stupid.

what does Driskel being the top HIGH SCHOOL QB have to do with this discussion and leaving early for the NFL draft? Makes no sense.....

What. nikka the point is shyt changes. Dude was looked at as a can't miss prospect, and now he fukking sucks.

Dude had a three game hot streak and could have been a first round pick.

So if he doesn't start this season, he can't be a first round pick even though he didn't even start last season as the starter?????

WTF does that even imply. Logan Thomas was looked at as a fukking 1st overall type pick. Hell he even had a shytty Jr. season and still was looked at as a first.

Dude left his senior year and went in the fourth round when he could have BEEN getting money.

But when the scouts finally got around to evaluating dude, they figured he was trash.

What was he a lock at? Kiper had him 4th round. He said he wasnt ready, come back for more experience and a potential top 5 pick .

Negro no he wasn't

Suppose he doesn't start, JT Barrett goes out and puts up monster numbers.(Like he was already) or say Braxton Miller starts and puts up monster numbers(like he did already) Wouldn't it be safe to assume that it's not the QB's who are good but the system, Urban Meyer runs.

Draft Stock

Before the 2012 season, there was some talk that Thomas's skill set could get him all the way up to No. 1 on the draft board.

That talk has been silenced due to a lack of improvement from his first full season at Virginia Tech. It seems that right now he's in danger of falling out of the first round so his draft stock is definitely slipping, but not dramatically like Da'Quan Bowers back in 2011 when he slipped from the No. 1 spot to late in the second round.

I get what you're saying, but Cardale skillset and what he brought to the table made OSU's offense TAKE OFF. We all saw the difference between the offense with Cardale as oppose to it with Braxton and JT. They have better wheels but as far as being a passer, it ain't even a question Jones is in another stratosphere compared to those two. I can assure you that if he doesn't win the starting job, it WILL NOT affect his draft stock...

PLEASE. dude wouldn't have gone in no fukking 4th round.

Seven reasons Cardale Jones should declare for the 2015 NFL Draft
By Will Brinson | NFL Writer

January 13, 2015 11:37 am ET
With the College Football Playoff wrapped up after Ohio State's impressive 42-20 victory over Oregon, the football world can start focusing on players leaving for the NFL. In the wake of his third start resulting in a third straight trophy, should Cardale Jones be one of the players bolting college football for the 2015 NFL Draft?

Despite only having three starts, Jones is eligible as a redshirt sophomore. He wouldn't confirm nor deny an interest in leaving ("It's something I will probably consider") so it's a possibility. There's actually a good case for it. Here are seven reasons why Jones should go pro:

1. Small Sample Size: From an evaluation standpoint, there's nothing more difficult than not having enough tape of a prospect. Jones' lack of tape is a huge plus for him as far as the draft goes because there's not a whole lot people can scrutinize in order to figure out what kind of prospect he really is. He has 94 career passing attempts! He has also completed 60 percent of his passes and averaged more than 9 yards per passing attempt in his career, while throwing seven touchdowns and two interceptions. His 424 rushing yards on 89 carries (4.77 yards per carry) isn't too shabby either. He could even go so far as to declare and then refuse to throw at his pro day OR the combine, causing an absolute meltdown among NFL folks.

2. Top of the World: What else can he achieve in college, realistically? Urban Meyer can talk Cardale into coming back and possibly winning two more national titles and a Heisman or two, but a) he's not definitely starting (more on that in a second) and b) expecting things to work out now like they have over the past three games is asking a lot. Cardale stepped in as a third-string starting quarterback after Braxton Miller and J.T. Barrett went down and promptly beat Wisconsin in the Big Ten title game, beat Alabama in the Sugar Bowl and beat Oregon in the College Football Playoff National Championship. That's three of the best teams in the country for three different trophies while toppling three Heisman finalists in each game.

3. Prototype: Jones is far from a perfect prospect. But between his "12 Gauge" arm and linebacker-size and running back speed, he feels like a character you would create inMadden.




His size as a human being is almost as big as his arm. He almost feels like a stronger Cam Newton less intent on running the ball.

4. Lack of a QB Class: All due respect to Marcus Mariota and Jameis Winston, but this isn't a great quarterback class. Even if you're in the "Winston is a great pro prospect on the field" camp you can't ignore his off-field issues. Mariota won the Heisman and had an incredible career at Oregon, but as with all quarterbacks not named Andrew Luck or Peyton Manning, there's no way to tell for sure. If you're betting who has the better career between those two guys, there's no sure way to go. Next up on the NFL Draft Scout rankings are Brett Hundley and Bryce Petty, the only two other quarterbacks in the top 100. Cardale wouldn't vault to the top of the list or anything, but he's going to be in the discussion as one of the best quarterbacks in this class.

5. Hype: Just like his level of winning, the hype surrounding Cardale isn't going to get any bigger. Dude just rolled through three really difficult opponents en route to winning a title and looked good doing it. He has the tools necessary to succeed at the next level, he didn't do a terrible job in his decision-making by any stretch, and the lack of tape on him makes him that much more intriguing.

6. QB-Needy Teams: Death, taxes and teams needing quarterbacks in the draft. You could argue the Buccaneers, Titans, Bills, Raiders, Redskins, Jets, Bears, Rams, Browns, Texansand Eagles need to do something about the quarterback position. (Derek Carr, Jay Cutlerand Robert Griffin III probably reduce this list by three, but there's no guarantee. Peyton Manning could increase it by one.) We'll spend a few months talking about teams being too conservative to draft a guy like Jones in the first (couple???) rounds of the draft and then early May will roll around, someone will freak out and take him way too high. It's how draft economics work.

7. Competition: Cardale isn't the type of dude scared to compete against other players. But the competition could mean he doesn't get to start despite winning a national title.

"I'm not leaving,” J.T. Barrett told Sports Illustrated Monday night. “I don't think Braxton is leaving. I don't think Cardale is leaving. That's being honest. With that, I mean, it's just competition. It's part of football. It's what we're about to do."

But if you're facing the prospect of 1) making a substantial sum of money for doing what you love versus 2) losing your chance to do what you love despite winning a national title because someone beats you out for the job, well, Door No. 1 is pretty attractive.

Miller could still transfer (and play right away by being a graduate transfer) but Barrett isn't going anywhere right now, clearly. Cardale will have his work cut out for him to even keep his job in college.

You saying it wont affect his draft stock.

YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHO THIS MOTHERfukkER WAS till he played those last three games.

If JT Barrett or Braxton Miller isn't hurt. His entire college career would be sitting on the bench

Now you saying him not being able to beat out two players who YOU say can't thrown wouldn't affect his draft stock.

 

[Goat poster]

connor cook, hackenberg

again it doesn't matter , matt barkley was the top qb a few years ago, things can change in a instant.

your a florida fan im sure you remember when luschiez purifoy was considered a first rounder

Them nikkas will NOT be rated higher than him in next years draft.

And Matt Barkley was an overrated CAC, He wasn't NEARLY the athletic freak that the young gawd Cardale is.

Because it won't affect his draft stock bruh. And you're going off the assumption that he WON'T win the starting job or even if he doesn't he won't get PT this year. This Urban we're talking about, ALL THREE QB's will play every game this season. I can bet you that.

Them nikkas will NOT be rated higher than him in next years draft.

And Matt Barkley was an overrated CAC, He wasn't NEARLY the athletic freak that the young gawd Cardale is.

nikkaz just naming names cause a foot was placed on their neck. The same Cacenberg who looked like dog shyt last year and then Conner Cook being better prospects than Cardale?

Cardale was admittedly a dumb ass and immature his first couple years at OSU, which is why he fell so low on the depth chart.
Tom Herman has said that he and Urban always knew that Cardale was the best on a physical level ( arm strength,size) but he just couldn't get his shyt together and was almost kicked off the team at one point.

By all accounts he has grown up a lot in the past year. And is very much a leader.

 

[MustafaSTL]

exactly my point.

for all the older cats remember chris porter? dude was at his highest peak was a sure lottery pick but went tback to school and dropped to the second round and lasted like one year in teh nba

look at alex poythress lif he left as a freshman would have been a lottery pick.

now 3 years in and has regressed, tore his acl, will be lucky to even be drafted by the time he's done.

harrison twins would have been first rounders last year now will be second

gotta be like that kentucky center daniel orton dude barely played, but looked good in tiny spurts got drafted in teh first round got millions and faded away.


nfl careers are so short anyways

No they weren't. The reason they came back was because they were projected to be second round picks.
