While I was reading yet another debate on who our QB should be, I started wondering why some people lean Cardale. Is it because we simply yearn to have a successful Buckeye in the NFL at the QB position? Or just his undeniable awesomeness? Seeing his NFL ceiling is a thousand feet high I really hope he breaks the Buckeye NFL QB drought. Ex-Buckeyes have every position covered in the NFL and many positions are represented in Canton. But the elite NFL QB has escaped Buckeye faithful. While I truly believe both Cardale and JT will represent us like no other, it brings up an interesting topic...What former Buckeyes would you field in the NFL? Here's mine...beat me if you can. Whats crazy is the talent I left off.
