Would be silly to keep anyone. They should’ve known how this would end with paying Daniel freaking Jones. Strip it down and roll with Richardson
This sucks. He made the right move for his development by going back and thankfully he was paid well for it, but same questions about his readiness and aggression exist. Still, have to think he's QB2 or 3 in this class.
Piggybacking off my previous tweet, my Ohio State transfer portal qb wishlist would be:
1- Kamario Taylor (duh)
2- Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele
3- Malik Washington
4- Drake Lindsey
5- Braden Atkinson
Program needs a big time starter regardless of whether Sayin is healthy.
Fully agree with this, and it really sucks for Sayin regardless of whether he bounces back to 100% or not.
I think there’s a better chance OSU’s 2027 starter is currently elsewhere than Columbus right now. We’ll find out whether they call higher end options or backups
I think the odds are heavily in favor that:
1-Sayin’s last snap for OSU was Saturday
2- ‘27 OSU starter is not on the roster.
The decision on what caliber of portal QB to bring in needs to be made in a month. QB portal arrangements don’t start when the portal opens Jan 2nd, that’s when they end.
The program has no assurance Sayin makes a full recovery. Luke Fahey will have started just 3-4 games by the time this decision needs made.
You can’t roll the dice on QB in an era where there is zero excuse to not have a very good one when you’re a top program.
Tough team to evaluate when it comes to enjoying the season. Great that they went so far, but it never really felt like they had the talent to make it all the way. Games can be really painful to watch...but they won more than most.
Please invest in this team @CleGuardians
Great usage of Hunter on that drive for Jacksonville. Little Texas route for the TD was fun. Having Hunter be a suped up weapon type is a smart way to get value out of his role and talent
Was already wondering if Howie would look at 2027 QBs with Hurts’ play declining and a new HC likely coming. Pretty ideal situation for a developmental QB. Here’s Hurts’ contract situation.
Breaking: After consultations with numerous doctors and experts that went into Saturday, the Eagles are placing quarterback Jalen Hurts on injured reserve, sources tell @rapsheet and me. The move will sideline Hurts indefinitely.
More info to come.
It’s hard to roster multiple good QBs now more than ever but Ohio State missing on Air Noland and seemingly Tavien St Clair puts them in a really tough spot. Luke Fahey is a frosh who looked lost, and Sayin is overburdened for his talent when healthy
I say this every Ryan Day loss but it is absolutely unbelievable he loses the same way every single time. Down the bad miscalled penalties late. To actually get a break on a horrible coverage play is shocking
Ohio State has got to compensate for Julian Sayin’s weaknesses more. More quick game, rpos, screens. He’s slow to see leverage, weak arm and doesn’t handle pressure well. Deep drops with a mediocre OL just isn’t going to work well against a good defensive front
Herbstreit blaming the receiver for the route is ridiculous. Darnold was so late seeing the separation that the receiver had to slow or sprint out of bounds. Terrible announcer
I don’t think it’s puzzling. Youngest receiver room possible, bad OC hire from the jump, and he’s not experienced or polished enough to carry the weight of the unit. Best case is he has enough improvement later in the year and then take Jeremiah Smith but odds are stacked
Feel pretty comfortable saying that as of mid October, my top two eligible QBs are Austin Simmons and Drew Mestemaker. Chambliss is close but the size and age have to play in. Simmons looks like the easiest projection with the traits and quick processing
Impressively, if Thomas didn’t pick off the throw to Gadsden, there was another Seahawk right behind him, and the throw was behind Gadsden anyways.
Then Darnold gives it right back. Incredible.

Motherf*ckers will look you dead in the eyes and tell you they would take Arch Manning over Jeremiah Smith.
Brother, they aren’t even in the same stratosphere right now tape and talent wise.
