Tom D'Angelo of the Palm Beach Post is doing his utmost to add another layer of distraction to OSU by creating some crazy troll sh*t this morning. Posted by CBS Sports, the following fun was brought to you another a** of the reporting world Adam Silverstein:
Report: OSU QB Braxton Miller Shows Interest in FSU Transfer
With Jameis Winston likely headed for the 2015 NFL Draft and Braxton Miller potentially looking for a new home, could the Ohio State quarterback make his way to Florida State in the offseason?
According to Tom D’Angelo of the Palm Beach Post, who cites a source close to the FSU program, Miller “has shown interest in transferring to Florida State” at the conclusion of this season. As a graduate transfer, he would be eligible to play immediately.
A source close to the Seminoles said if there is interest from Miller’s end, then the Seminoles are interested. The two parties cannot talk until Miller is released from his scholarship by Ohio State.
Though he previously said that he planned to remain with the Buckeyes for his redshirt senior campaign and Urban Meyer declared that the starting job would be waiting for him upon that return, Miller -- who tore the labrum in his throwing shoulder during fall practice and missed the entire 2014 season -- may be looking over that very shoulder at rookie phenom J.T. Barrett.
A redshirt freshman, Barrett garnered Heisman Trophy buzz as Miller’s stand-in this season, completing 64.7 percent of his passes for 2,834 yards with 45 total touchdowns (34 passing, 11 rushing), 10 interceptions and 938 rushing yards to boot.
Cardale Jones, a redshirt sophomore and OSU’s third-string passer who stepped in for an injured Barrett and led the Buckeyes to a 59-0 victory over Michigan (he completed 12-of-17 passes for 257 yards and three touchdowns in the game), is also waiting in the wings. In other words, it may very well be in Miller’s best interest to cut his cord and try his luck elsewhere.
The two-time Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year is no slouch himself, of course, as he’s completed 60.9 percent of his passes for 4,133 yards with 64 touchdowns (39 passing, 25 rushing) to 13 interceptions, plus 2,339 rushing yards, in two seasons as a starter under Meyer.
And that is why FSU may very well be an option for Miller, but it may not be his best chance to succeed. With Marcus Mariotta also expected to leave for the pros, Oregon would be a soft landing spot for Miller and likely the best fit for his skill set. Additionally, there are no shortage of teams that would be interested in adding him to their roster for a season with Florida, Ole Miss, Duke ... and Michigan ... just a few also in need of veteran quarterbacking in 2015.
The Seminoles are also expected to have five young quarterbacks on their roster next season including Sean Maguire (who subbed for Winston against Clemson during the Heisman Trophy winner’s one-game suspension), J.J. Cosentino and a trio of verbal commitments including four-stars Deondre Francis and Kai Locksley and three-star De’Andre Johnson.
(I am really starting to think that people are worried that tOSU Buckeyes may be better than they thought or our mindset is too clear). No sources cited, typical trollwork.
So let's hear the feedback.
