@Buckeye4lyf True. I can appreciate how he can build an offense around anyone, but really wish he'd stick with the dynamic tools-type

[Ian @NFLDraftStudy]

Piggybacking off my previous tweet, my Ohio State transfer portal qb wishlist would be:
1- Kamario Taylor (duh)
2- Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele
3- Malik Washington
4- Drake Lindsey
5- Braden Atkinson

Program needs a big time starter regardless of whether Sayin is healthy.

[Ian @NFLDraftStudy]

@Buckeye4lyf It’s bizarre. I don’t know how we got from fields and stroud to McCord and sayin and Fahey. McCord had an arm at least

[Ian @NFLDraftStudy]

@Buckeye4lyf Ooh that’s a great name too

[Ian @NFLDraftStudy]

Fully agree with this, and it really sucks for Sayin regardless of whether he bounces back to 100% or not.

I think there’s a better chance OSU’s 2027 starter is currently elsewhere than Columbus right now. We’ll find out whether they call higher end options or backups

[Juck Miletti @JuckOnBucks]

I think the odds are heavily in favor that:

1-Sayin’s last snap for OSU was Saturday
2- ‘27 OSU starter is not on the roster.

The decision on what caliber of portal QB to bring in needs to be made in a month. QB portal arrangements don’t start when the portal opens Jan 2nd, that’s when they end.

The program has no assurance Sayin makes a full recovery. Luke Fahey will have started just 3-4 games by the time this decision needs made.

You can’t roll the dice on QB in an era where there is zero excuse to not have a very good one when you’re a top program.

[Ian @NFLDraftStudy]

@BrandonLittleBL Sucks for Sayin. Hope his shoulder isn’t toast and Day can make the tough call long term if it is. Nothing against Fahey but was hoping we’d see TSC.

[Ian @NFLDraftStudy]

Tough team to evaluate when it comes to enjoying the season. Great that they went so far, but it never really felt like they had the talent to make it all the way. Games can be really painful to watch...but they won more than most.

Please invest in this team @CleGuardians

[ESPN Cleveland @ESPNCleveland]

The Cleveland Guardians season is over.

How would you grade this season of Cleveland baseball?

[Ian @NFLDraftStudy]

@JordanZirm Exactly, it was defeating the moment it was a 2-run deficit. Having to win games 1-0 is insane

[Ian @NFLDraftStudy]

Great usage of Hunter on that drive for Jacksonville. Little Texas route for the TD was fun. Having Hunter be a suped up weapon type is a smart way to get value out of his role and talent

[Ian @NFLDraftStudy]

Somewhat defensible decision but the throw was cheeks and allowed the safety to make a play that wasn’t that crazy. Needed to be a fastball throw and that’s not Arch’s game, either.

[Nate Tice @Nate_Tice]

still want to see him just run. That extra hitch was a classic “listen to your feet”.

[Ian @NFLDraftStudy]

@dcart33 Oh gotcha yeah, could just eat it but they’d probably get some insurance relief if Hurts isn’t medically cleared (worst case scenario for sure)

[Ian @NFLDraftStudy]

Was already wondering if Howie would look at 2027 QBs with Hurts’ play declining and a new HC likely coming. Pretty ideal situation for a developmental QB. Here’s Hurts’ contract situation.

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

Breaking: After consultations with numerous doctors and experts that went into Saturday, the Eagles are placing quarterback Jalen Hurts on injured reserve, sources tell @rapsheet and me. The move will sideline Hurts indefinitely.

More info to come.

[Ian @NFLDraftStudy]

@cmANTONoplos Hurts and Wentz lol. But I’m talking more about moving forward, I’d prefer Philly’s structure than most

[Ian @NFLDraftStudy]

@bleedgrnsports Oh that’s interesting. OTC is usually spot on

[Ian @NFLDraftStudy]

@dcart33 I think the contract structure is great for Philly. Even if Hurts misses time in 2027, 2028 is an affordable out

[Ian @NFLDraftStudy]

@MountainHawk26 It’s not a knock on Fahey. It’s the reality of not having a vet backup or TSC being ready

[Ian @NFLDraftStudy]

It’s hard to roster multiple good QBs now more than ever but Ohio State missing on Air Noland and seemingly Tavien St Clair puts them in a really tough spot. Luke Fahey is a frosh who looked lost, and Sayin is overburdened for his talent when healthy

[Ian @NFLDraftStudy]

@Jrinehart96 He’s the tone setter. The defense falls apart in the fourth quarter of every loss. The offense loses all momentum. Coordinators haven’t mattered

[Ian @NFLDraftStudy]

I say this every Ryan Day loss but it is absolutely unbelievable he loses the same way every single time. Down the bad miscalled penalties late. To actually get a break on a horrible coverage play is shocking
