Not to be unfair to OSU QBs but, OSU is known for cranking out NFL caliber players at other positions such as WR. Strong receiver corps can obviously make a QB look a lot better than he actually is. This isn’t always the case of course. Sometimes you actually have NFL caliber guys at multiple positions. Likewise, good QBs can make receivers look better than they are as well.
I know that’s a biased approach and doesn’t fit every scenario. I’m from Ohio, live here now, and have been an OSU fan forever. My opinion isn’t due to some type of hatred for big schools. But, when you see a guy like Fields stinking it up…or Hurts (who actually isn’t that bad but hasn’t come close to the hype surrounding him in college), it makes you hesitant.
I just don’t have a good gut feeling about the guys being touted as the top two QBs this year.
I see our draft position working in our favor. Perhaps we won’t even have to “worry” about Shroud or Young and we can snatch whoever we’ve been eyeballing (maybe Levis??).
