Well we could know by this time tomorrow if Sam Darnold will be entering the Draft.

Why is it in the back of my mind that I think that this guy is not going to be very good?

Is it the "Ghost of USC QBs Past" syndrome?   Matt Leinert, Matt Barkley, Mark Sanchez ...Paul McDonald! etc?  The fact that USC QBs are always overhyped?  I think that is a big part.  The fact that he had a better year last year than this year?   I do not see him as "our guy".   Of course, he could change a lot of minds tonight vs. Ohio State.   Or...Ohio State's defense could make him look ordinary, not that he may not seem that way already.

I'm trying to get myself to like the idea of taking Darnold, but I always go back to the USC/UCLA game and Rosen was so much better.

Rudolph did help himself with his top 5 offense against a good top 5 defense in VT. Certainly looks the part but as most college QB’s, can he do it from under center with eyes down field. Starting to look through some depth charts to see who is doing it with their senior leadership on the field? Rudolph now is the leader in clubhouse with both OT’s & Center as seniors. Rudolph also maybe surrounded by best team WR Core? James Washington (1549yards) & Marcell Ateman(1156yards) are both seniors surely to be drafted. Did you see the legal 1 yard pick block that Ateman laid on someone? Cleaned a clock!! Rudolph drops a hell’ve a deep ball, but the TV guys brought up a great point on the confusion on intermediate routes. Either sit down on a route and box out defender if needed or drive your arrsss’ back to the ball but god don’t fade or curl routes..almost got a Brady look out of Rudo;)lph 

 

Yup, Washington looked more than decent as a wr, the combine will tell. :)

Darnold is Andrew Luck in comparison to Kizer in college. About the same difference as comparing Kizer to Tom Brady in the pros.

Regarding USC qbs, yup- we have our very own Cody Kessler. Plenty of pro bums besides. But let's not forget about Carson Palmer.

Gip, same illogic I have in my bias against Notre Dame QBs. For every Joe Montana, you have two Jimmy Clausens, one Deshone Kizer, and a Partridge in a 🍐 pear tree. 😁

About the same over the same 80 year period.  Our own Bill Nelsen may have in fact been the best of the bunch...in terms of being a winner.  Beyond that there is Palmer....and the best after that are Pat Haden and Rodney Peete.

(and hell....I basically forgot that Kessler came from USC)

As for Big 12 QBs, since 2000 we have this lot:

Sage Rosenfelds

Seneca Wallace

Josh Freeman

Josh Heupel

Sam Bradford

Landry Jones

Zac Robinson

Brandon Weeden

Andy Dalton

Chris Simms

Vince Young

Colt McCoy

BJ Symons

Patrick Mahomes

Jordan Palmer

Robert Griffin III

Bryce Petty.

Nothing Stellar:  Dalton and Bradford the best of the lot.

So....the two main Big 12 QBs under consideration are  Mayfield and Rudolph

Prospect per conference:

Pac 12:   Rosen,  Darnold, Luke Falk

ACC:   Jackson, Benkert

Big 12:  Mayfield, Rudolph, Alex Shimonek

SEC:  Drew Lock, Jarrett Stidham

C-USA:  Riley Ferguson

Alex McGough:  Florida International

Mike White: Western KY

Big Ten:  Thorson, Barrett.

 

Quarterbacks are always overrated, over drafted.  Why do I feel that this bunch is way overrated?

Re-scrambled, ^^ Fits the criteria of Browns can’t have good things? So we get the odd man out..Cousins & Smith at age, just makes sense looking at teams like jags,broncos or Bills a QB away on better rosters, regardless of what Dorsey thinks? But who would of thought a 4th for Cameal Erving either. Will be interesting to see what Vikings do at QB leading up to free agent time

Could you do one for Ohio State QBs? It's always been baffling to me that a school that produces so much NFL talent is a blackhole at QB for pretty much their entire run.

But...there does seem to be a black hole in the above.  Probably the best QB out of OSU isn't listed there.   Since these are only draftees...I am wondering if Mike Tomcsak went undrafted.   Here is the PFR link to him:

https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/T/TomcMi00.htm

He is definitely the most productive QB to come out of OSU......his CA is almost double that of Tupa....who had a lot of his "production" as a punter/specials teamer.

Edit:  I do see this from Wiki:

Tomczak went undrafted out of college and signed as an original free agent with the Chicago Bears. He started no games his first year but did earn a Super Bowl ring, and saw playing time in Super Bowl XX on January 26, 1986, during the fourth quarter of the Bears' 46–10 win over the New England Patriots on the kickoff unit, where he was penalized for a facemask penalty.[3] He was a member of the "Shuffling Crew" in the Bears' video for The Super Bowl Shuffle, mimicking playing guitar. He played for the Bears until 1990 starting 31 games and throwing for 31 touchdowns and 47 interceptions.

So...he was a UDFA.  It figures that the best pro QB to ever come out of OSU would be undrafted......compared to these others that were drafted.

Of course, note that Braxton Miller is not counted here....as he came in at like WR or something.

(and whatever happened to him?)

Man, that OSU list was even worse than I thought it would be. Horrific.

If the BUCKEYES had a few blue chip franchise quarterbacks back in the 1970-1980+ era (plus not JCOOP and EB) they would have had a few more national championship trophies in Columbus.

Low hanging fruit and a kilt are a bad combination.

Rosen and Darnold reminds me of Alex Smith and Aaron Rodgers for some reason.

Not that you can directly compare skill sets 1:1 but both are productive and have the skill sets without the winning, which makes them seem less desirable...

Switch the pairing and I can see it.

Also not captured by Gip's drafted buckeye list is our old friend TP... who coming out of HS was a very blue chipper.
