The 2027 QB class

Sayin has something to prove IMO Ohio State schedule last year was weak, then when he had to play Indiana and Miami he wasn't impressive.

 

They have a pretty serious schedule this year. They better bring their A game every week.

 

This story changes every few days now

 

Big Buckeye fan here and I am still mortified over Smith. This guy brings nothing to the table.

Bucks have a tough schedule and I could see him gone by mid season. I could also see them dropping 3 to 4 games.

Smith is a turd.

 

What first-year 20-year-old (or 19-year-old) QB would you even put in the conversation?I say no one. And that list includes several future Hall of Famers.For a true first-year player that young to be excellent against everybody else in the league — not just “good for a rookie,” but legitimately impactful is extremely rare. It puts him in elite historical company.If you can name a 20-year-old QB who performed better as a rookie, name him. They basically don’t exist. The few QBs who even played meaningful snaps at that age were usually raw, developmental projects. Most legends had rough or mediocre rookie years while they adjusted to the speed and complexity of the NFL. Hall of Famers like Bradshaw, Aikman, Elway, and many others weren’t dominant out of the gate.So before you knock him, think about the timeline. He’s doing things at 19–20 that most QBs don’t do until they’re 23–25 (if they ever reach that level).

This year I think the young QB should run a bit more.

 

Sayin was overhyped and benefitted from that easy schedule, he has a chance to prove himself because Ohio State plays a tough schedule this season.
