Did Ohio State upgrade or downgrade by getting rid of Kyle McCord and bringing in Will Howard last year?
Perhaps Howard was a better college QB, but McCord projects better as a pro?

Some of the smarter draftniks and analysts have been mentioning him since basically the season ended.

quote:
When Palmer makes an observation about a quarterback, he has the receipts.
“Kyle McCord,” Palmer says flatly, “is quickly becoming one of the most athletic guys I’ve ever worked with.”
quote:
McCord’s performance wasn’t just the best in the session. His spin rate, spiral efficiency, velocity and a host of other metrics were on par with some of the best passers Palmer has ever had.
quote:
Dr. Scott Goldman is quick to point out that neither he, nor his research partner, Dr. Jim Bowman, reinvented the wheel. They did something else.
“We sort of brought this really old wine to a new world,” says Goldman, a psychologist who, with Bowman, invented the Athletic Intelligence Quotient (or, the AIQ Test) after being inspired by the archaic and simplistic way analysts broke down the famed Peyton Manning-Ryan Leaf debate of 1998, “We took the gold standard of intelligence and applied it to sports.”
quote:
The test measures everything an evaluator needs to know, including learning efficiency, spatial awareness, reaction time and something defined as “manipulation/rotation” — a quarterback’s ability to read a defense from the pocket. For years, some of the top QB coaches in football have had to gauge those aspects mostly from feel.
AIQ attempts to provide a much firmer answer.
And McCord’s performance on the test was elite, nearly across the board. He scored in the highest bucket (“superior”) in five different categories and was awfully close to that level in both spatial awareness and learning efficiency (how long it takes a player to retain information).
quote:
The data Wilson gathered from McCord’s QBX session further proved Palmer’s instinct about him: His arm is elite, but so is his brain.
On the former, McCord was, by a wide margin, the best thrower in nearly every area during the Shrine Bowl session. He posted a spiral efficiency of 93 percent, with 12 of his 28 throws rating at a perfect 100. He clocked an average spin rate of 699 rpm, well above the NFL average of 592. Sixteen of McCord’s throws had a spin rate higher than 700, topping out at 740 (per Wilson’s Blake Rus, a spin rate of 800 qualifies as “elite” in the NFL.)
“The data showed that Kyle, for a lot of the starters I’ve worked with — I can’t name names here — but when he’s in that 95th percentile on some of these, it’s not just against the other guys at Shrine,” Palmer says. “It’s everybody.”

Haskins was better for their offense.
Their offense is not an NFL offense.

I think Milroe would be great in that Taysom role.

I don't see Milroe playing TE nor do envision him being on being used on special teams to potentially block punts.

Probably not but I bet he could if they'd let him. He'd be great in short yardage and goal line packages too.

Milroe could be a fun backup and developmental prospect with real upside, but I'd only take him in the 4th or later. I think at least a few other teams probably like him more, so he'll get drafted sooner. I see him as too much of a long shot to be a starter to spend a higher pick.

Maybe but Milroe isn't the physical runner people believe he is. He's not going to run defenders over & break tackles like Taysom.

You could be right but Taysom does not have the speed of Milroe.

You are correct. Taysom 40 time at the BYU pro day was 4.44. Milroe was 4.37 for his Bama pro day. Milroe's straight line speed is legit but that's the only physical aspect of his game that's superior to Taysom's. Taysom runs with much more power & pad level which allows him to finish off runs gaining more yardage or break through tackles altogether. Despite numerous previous significant injuries & surgeries, Taysom's lateral quickness is better than Milroe's. Don't know if that still will be the case now with Taysom's age & latest ACL tear though.

Maybe at tight end. If he pulls a Tebow and insists he's a QB he'll be out of the league in 5 years or less.

Love it. McCord is legit.
Have to get started on your next qb. You are never going to get one without taking chances. I like shough but he is 25.

Is all of this QB talk smoke? Don't be surprised if we jump the Raiders at 6 to grab Jeanty.

This board will cease to exist if that scenario plays out.

I've said I don't melt about draft picks because no one knows how these guys are going to turn out...
But that would be the closest I would come

We all know Ward will be gone by #9... But if Sanders is still there and the Saints pick a White QB at #9... Time to board up the windows in New Orleans...
