Just a question for all of you...but going back to school where he might not be the starting QB next year behind Barrett and Braxton Milller......His Mojo is at his Peak and if I'm not confused has a child on the way and doesn't particularly like school......Doesn't he have to take the Money that is gonna be guaranteed for his new found family......and play and learn behind a well established QB??....maybe Big Ben or Eli Manning.......while making the Money.......

Finishing his education will be a guarantee for earning money in the next 40 years.

Suuma and NYG...I know its the smart decision........but He is bigger than Mariota at this point based on the so called eye test......I get the education point of view but man his stock is so high right now.....you have to think about declaring...especially if he might not be the starting QB next year behing 2 talented QB's next year...............

He ain't coming back to hit the books Suuma.


He's coming back to start under center, declare next year and guarantee himself a top 10 selection.

Seems like  some Twitter news weren't correctly. Thanks for the heads up.

He needs a ton of seasoning.  Urban's offense can win at the college level but it doesn't prepare the QB for the NFL.  it is a one read offense without a lot of running.

Not a lot of running??? He picked up at least 3 key 3rd downs with his legs, abusing smaller tacklers. FINISH COLLEGE NOT in 4 years or probably ever??? Hasn't he already been there over 2 years? I realize a 2nd rounder doesn't get the "cha-ching," but he'd make that up on endorsements-eg.- Snickers, Johnny Manzell.- on his story alone. He's a hot topic now...who knows in 8 months. Really wish him well and sincerely enjoyed his work, I'm sure Wisconsin, Alabama and Oregon do not. BOL this weekend

What team with a high 2nd round pick is in position to gamble on a prospect?
 I would see him going on day 3 to a team that didn't need him right away.......& even then he may only end up on a practice squad.

Even though Jones ran over the NT from Oregon, that won't happen at the next level. If this guy bans out in college, he could be the next Duante Culpepper.

That kid would get smoked at the next level. He isn't even close. He needs at least another year of reading defenses and development. He declares now, he'll be waxing my car in 3 years.

yes he will start, lets not be silly....you dont beat Bama and Oregon in playoffs and get a NT to go sub the following year....lets get real...this (NCAAAF) is a business like any other. He discussed it with tOSU and made his decision accordingly.

Why is he guaranteed to start? He doesn't even come close to the passing stats Barrett put up.  Elliott carried that offense in both of those games.  Jones picked up some big first downs but he was in that situation because he was inept in the passing game.  The Ohio State offense will be much more potent with Barrett at qb. 
Jones should have left while his stock was high

I'm not sure Cardale would of gotten drafted, had he elected to enter the NFL Draft. I'd bet a ton of money at -120 he'd have gone fourth round or later. He said it himself, he isn't ready for the next level , and I think that's pretty obvious.

The issue is will he play? If not, then it was a dumb financial decision. There's no way he'll improve his draft stock by being a backup.  Why not strike while the iron is hot?  Even a third round pick pays better than being a college kid.

And it's not like he can never go back to college after his playing days are over. So it isn't as if he has to choose between education and NFL.

He isn't going back to school now for the education, he is going back because he will be BMOC.
