Quote:Cardale Jones is not ready for the NFL yet. Remember he only finished blowouts before the Buckeyes needed him. That is why Ezekiel Elliott ran over 200 yards in all three games Jones started. If J.T. Barrett had started them, I bet Elliott would have half as many yards. NFL scouts are probably thinking Jones needs to start every game next season to develop as a passer.

Or he had his best games with Jones at QB because teams respected him more as a passer with that arm. Barrett had impressive passing numbers, but he is limited with what he can with his arm. Jones can do it all.


If I'm Jones, I go early. Scouts may only have three games worth of tape, by my goodness, you can't do any better than what he did and the competiton. And it's not even a guarantee he starts next season. Get out while the getting is good before teams can pick you apart like they did with Hundley, Mariota, and Winston this year. I'd be surprised if he didn't go in the first two rounds unless he bombed interviews.
