QB Cardale '12 Gauge' Jones (B1G Champion, National Champion)

If 12 gauge can run the quarterback option head fake like that press conference, THE Ohio State Offense is going to be hard to track with the naked eye or with television cameras. They are going to need radar and sonar and transponder beacons inside the football.

I was thinking it would be hilarious in that they're all crying about how easy we have it. I don't know why I thought that...I've lived with these assholes my whole life, and should know better. Fuck them.

Went straight from "Cardale won't be academically eligible" to "Urban slipped him more money under the table"
This is just a more entertaining form of crying about how easy we have it...

Just caught up 30 pages or so.

Jesus this thread was a shitshow before the announcement.

I'll just say this once, people who have to degrade the other two QBs to pimp their personal opinion on who is the best of the three QBs can go fuck themselves right in the pussy.

Who starts here next year was, and is, a choice between the 3 hottest chicks in the bar. There's really no wrong answer here. If you can't see that, then you're a dumb motherfucker...


Congrats to Cardale. Extremely happy to get you back for another year! Keep on Truckin'!!!

Too bad Maurice didn't realize this back in 2003.

Excellent analysis in this article:

Staying in school the right decision for Cardale the Quarterback

Cardale Jones has been one of the most interesting stories in college football this season, and he's reached that level in only three games. But I suppose that's bound to happen when the only three games you play are the Big Ten Championship, the Sugar Bowl and the College Football Playoff National Championship.

The lights on those stages are rather bright.

And Jones has been impressive in all three of his starts, causing so many to wonder if he shouldn't have taken advantage of that spotlight and jumped to the NFL rather than taking a curtain call in 2015. We know now that Jones will return to Columbus for another season, though the writing seemed to be on the wall a day after the Buckeyes won their national title, when Jones himself admitted he didn't think he was ready for the NFL.

"It's very odd," Jones said after Ohio State's victory over Oregon. "I'm only starting three games in three years and, you know, guys play their whole career to have that buildup and to have that motivation to play in the NFL. In my personal opinion, I'm not ready for that level yet."

Jones is right, too. He's not ready for the NFL just yet.

If you want to get a bit more technical, just take a look at this video of Jones against Oregon.



Did you notice anything about his reads? If not, go back and watch again, and look at Jones' head this time.

What you'll see is Jones making one read on just about every single pass. This is what I meant when I said that Meyer and Herman simplified things a bit for him. Essentially, Jones was making one decision. If his initial read was covered and he had time, he'd stick around in the pocket a bit to see if his target could get open. Sometimes this worked. Other times, when Jones saw his initial read was covered, he just took off. That worked often enough, too, as we remind you that Jones is a big, strong man, and it's hard to tackle an elephant stampeding toward you -- though I salute the noble Oregon defenders who tried to.

:24 Misses the stick route to a wide open Vannett. Tucks and runs.

:53 I see cover 3 with the field safety flying into the box with no regard for whats behind him. Can't tell who the receiver was that got check in the middle, but
he was coming open and Cardale saw him. Just felt pressure and was forced to move.

1:37. Reads the clear out and the corner sitting shallow on the dump off. A bit late on the throw to Corey, but a bullet none the less.


2:00 Just a great read and throw. See's the defender in man with his back turned, throws the backshoulder and Jalin goes to get it.
Could have put the ball a bit outside more, he'll have to work at throwing on the run better.

3:40 Reads what appears to be 2man under, breaks contain and picks up yards. Doing Aaron Rodgers proud. Not sure what the Ducks inside linebackers are doing though?

5:47 First read is Jalin against Cover 2 with the mike on soft zone/spy. Could have hit Jalin on the doulble move to the out as the corner was sucked up near the line.
Came off of that a bit early looking for his check down, it was covered... makes a move in the pocket senseing pressure, keeps eyes downfield
launched it downfield where Devin was 1on1 with a safety.

7:00 Beautiful call by Oregon. Fake screen to the right with a blitz coming from the boundary. After the fake Cardale brings his eyes
to the backside of the play where the primary route is. Defender in his face, makes a great move... picks up yards.

7:50 Stands tall in the face of an on coming Oregon backer, delivers to Jalin on the quick out against the backer whom obvious does the little fumble for a pick.

8:25 A big mistake an indictator Cardale has a way to go. Motion to Jalin whom gets 1v1 on Daniels (Safety) safety bails to prevent a big play
Jalin breaks off the route. Easy pitch and catch. Oregon sends 5 with a spy so its cover 0 across the board. Cardale bails from the pocket
backward and fumbles.


9:20 Looks like four verts. Nothing open, hits Curtis on the check down, smart play. Side note. Decker is a monster. The RE/OLB for the Ducks
got zero pressure all night and especially on this play, Taylor had to have been laughing at the kid during the play.

10:40 3 Deep. 5 underneath. Zero pressure on Cardale and he knows it. See's Jalin clear the linebacker and throws just before Daniels (safety) Great read and play.


These are all plays that give the spider cam view. A lot of trips to setup easy reads on plays. I notice as the game went on Cardale did a decent job holding the safety (Daniels) with some eye movement.
He needs some serious work. Especially knowing which routes he can basically cross off based on the coverage he see's. I've no doubt he would improve that with another year as the starter.
