The Buckeye quarterback situation really did matter back in August, mainly because we’ve never really seen anything like it before and the choice was going to dictate which way the Buckeyes were going to go. But now, three games in, we know exactly how this is going to play out.

Cardale Jones is going to start, mainly because Urban Meyer is sort of a smart guy and he knows exactly what the payoff could be.

Jones needs the reps, and with a few more games under his belt and a lot more seasoning, the potential is there to be the No. 1 overall draft pick and the type of quarterback who could destroy a TCU or an Alabama or an Oklahoma by – potentially – being the best player on the field. If the Buckeyes need a different running look under center, they can stick Braxton Miller there for a few plays. If they want to throw in another curveball, they can play Barrett.

 

Good thoughts here. We're so panicky and have anxiety about the whole thing, but the season is really a long haul, and the offense will eventually gel together, form an identity, and whoever is the quarterback will succeed because of it. The team will be 10-0 going into the showdown with Sparty, so lets just enjoy the ride and hope for the success of the offense whether or not "your guy" is the starting QB.
