So what are the options behind C.J. Stroud?
Ohio State’s quarterback room is LOADED 😳

This is not your dad’s Ohio State Buckeyes quarterback room. Gone are the days where we are forced to deal with average quarterback play or even great quarterback play. The Ohio State Buckeyes should strive for nothing less than elite quarterback play.
The tweet above illustrates the insane talent that they have to work with and in the day and age of the transfer portal and NIL deals, if these young guns don’t get a shot they will move along. It is almost a guarantee that one of these guys is going to transfer and it could possibly be two. Quinn Ewers was a higher ranked recruit than Trevor Lawrence was and has signed a million-dollar NIL deal, do you think he is going to sit around and wait patiently?
I am not saying that C.J. Stroud isn’t the answer, but I am saying that this staff needs to be 100% certain that they make the right call in this situation and they should look under every rock for options. Stroud has been great, but can we get elite?
I feel confident that Dwayne Haskins was the best option for this offense in 2018, but Joe Burrow became one of the greatest quarterbacks in college football history and helped give LSU a national championship. Now I understand that team was stacked, but you would be insane not to wonder what life would have been like with Burrow.
