Ohio State Football Quarterback Competition: Cardale Jones Takes First-Team
The Ohio State Buckeyes and their fans really love head coach Urban Meyer.
Although though he or she praised both equally leading quarterbacks, he or she seemed to frequently guide along with Barrett, you can add variety text connected with Jones as well. Meyer remembers the quarterback “controversy” in 2006 when he was the head coach at Florida between Tim Tebow and Chris Leak, but says it’s not the same thing.
Jones may tout his cannon for an arm, but Barrett boasts the precision necessary to hit target after target. Following Miller’s shoulder injury and surgeries, Barrett was named the starting quarterback just a few weeks before the 2014 season. Rivals had him at five stars, a 6.0 rating, the No. 1 QB in the country, No. 1 player in the state of Ohio, and the No. 34 player nationally. The teams need to control the ball to shorten the game for the defense while trying to get an edge in the field position battle. He doesn’t bow to pressure – as evidenced by his completion rate – but he can break out of a collapsing pocket and make plays with his feet. “I’m not sure [Jones] can win a game strictly on his legs”.
Coming from a game-tape point of view, missing out on a single video game should have absolutely no influence on NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE teams’ ability to consider your pet with full confidence, while they have already enjoyed a couple remarkably profitable months over which they have documented 99 total discusses, 34.
Barrett admits he doesn’t have “crazy breakaway speed” like Miller.
It’s also a big reason why the Buckeyes were able to escape Penn State with a win.
As for Miller, he is listed on the roster as a quarterback/H-back, and he stretched with the quarterbacks before practice.
“I heard the comments that Cardale was a much better down-the-field thrower”, Meyer said. Declaring for the draft after winning the National Championship may have been the right decision.
Holmes was a four-star composite recruit out of Virginia in the class of 2014 and saw action last season with the Buckeyes, recording 11 tackles-one of which was for a loss. Making the second start of his career, Barrett completed just nine of 29 passes and threw one touchdown against three interceptions. Unfortunately for him, his season came to an abrupt end in the last regular season game when he broke his ankle against the Michigan Wolverines. The Buckeyes, who will travel to Rutgers on October 24 for a primetime game, might be able to afford one slip-up but certainly not two, which is why the team motto has become this: “The best players have to be the best GRINDERS”.
No, not the one who might end up begetting the most ferocious MMA/football Hybrids ever conceived, literally or figuratively.
