I was looking at a Buckeye forum, seems most of the guys there are unconcerned with JT Barrett being out, calling Jones the 12 gauge and stuff, that Wisconsin game must have really sold the fan base on him.Scramble, who knows? As yet untested.....not nifty, or quick by any means but big, strong and hard to get on the ground and throws well on the run and a flick of the wrist sends it a long way. He'll throw it downfield for sure and the ball skills of your DB's will be tested again by a group of DB's that I would bet compare quite favorably to Mizzou's. If your kids don't do a better job than they did in the SEC championship game there will be some big plays downfield.....that said, I suspect CNS and his staff know that as well and are working hard to correct the problem
But to me, Barrett was a Heisman hopeful and record setting QB this year, Jones has to be a downgrade in overall skill set and has very little experience.
Jones isn't the guy that led the offense all year and won most of the games, seems like a pretty big blow from the outside looking in.
