One interesting McCord thought

[djorange1989]

He hadn't played for a month and Day put him in, for McCord's 5th game in a 49-0 blowout against MSU for... 3 series.

Ryan Day is a tool

 

[orangeinjersey]

Im 100

Sharpie?

 

[two3zone]

Speaking of Spencer Rattler that would be a good offense for him. Though Rattler better be nice to him!

I would've picked him first overall just by his name. How isn't this not in the discussion for best name ever?

 

[SuFTW]

Assuming he is gone that he cant get that year back

But look at todays ESPN QB ranking. #11 somewhere in Day 3.

You go back to 2010 and look at QBs drafted that late.

88 have been drafted
3 become solid starters. Cousins/Dak/Purdy
4 had some career and one of them is O'Connel who will be gone soon as the contract is over

its a 4yr deal worth close to a 750k with a bonus but not locked in money.

getting into day 2 is a big deal.

Round 2 has a limited amount of guaranteed money, while round 3 and beyond only the bonus is guaranteed.

Here is the contract for the last 4th round pick.

Jacob Cowing signed a 4 year , $4,548,708 contract with the San Francisco 49ers, including $528,708 signing bonus, $528,708 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $1,137,177. In 2024, Cowing will earn a base salary of $795,000 and a signing bonus of $528,708

Contract for last 5th round pick

Qwan'tez Stiggers signed a 4 year , $4,274,276 contract with the New York Jets, including $254,276 signing bonus, $254,276 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $1,068,569. In 2024, Stiggers will earn a base salary of $795,000 and a signing bonus of $254,276

The last 6th round pick

Elijah Klein signed a 4 year , $4,158,388 contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, including $138,388 signing bonus, $138,388 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $1,039,597. In 2024, Klein will earn a base salary of $795,000 and a signing bonus of $138,388,

The last 7th round pick

Jaylen Key signed a 4 year , $4,100,736 contract with the New York Jets, including $80,736 signing bonus, $80,736 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $1,025,184.

Nice info, Interesting stats. I would think with 90 or so qbs on rosters, there would be more that 7 stick.

Do you know what people like Mel Kyper think? Usually “ESPN Metrics” on anything, (like 20% to beat UNLV) are garbage.

also in your analysis does 4 years/2.5 million for Nassib, but no meaningful role, count as a career?

I would think that is the floor for McCord.

When you consider how many guys are around for 5-10 years, there's not a lot of room for newbys to break in.

 

[HRE Otto IV]

Kids sitting out to preserve a year is becoming an issue. Only way to remedy that is 5 years eligibility.

Should that pass between now and then end of the season, then McCord could come back. But that is assuming he would want to. The chances of both happening are maybe 2% tops.

 

[kcsu]

He is having the best year of his playing life. Maybe he sticks for another year as he isn't that old but if he is going in the top 3 rounds, he's gone. After that who knows maybe he sticks for another year. Personally, I hope that he continues to crush it and goes Pro. Syracuse will need to re- load, and I seriously doubt that we find a replacement for him, but Cuse is on a good path and having our QB go pro is a very good thing.

Are there like 3 people posting from your username? You've had three wildly different posts in this thread, staying, leaving, who knows?

He doesn't have another year of eligibility so what are we even talking about?

 

[chugg21]

I may be biased, but I think he’s better than all of those guys. Bo friggin Nix was a first rounder starting in the NFL this year.

I'd say so or only saw Nix play as a Freshman at Auburn. He was incredible at Oregon the past 2 years. 94 total TDs in that time is pretty friggin decent.

 

[DomeHolmes]

Bo Nix owns the NCAA record for completion percentage in a year throwing 470 passes and completing 78%. That’s pretty good.

According to many on this board he would be granted an extra year if he applied for it. my point in the last post is that if he is projected to go in the top 3 rounds, he is gone. 4th round is a toss-up and anything lower than that might cause him to apply for another year.

 

[upperdeck]

another issue is who needs a QB or would draft one early?
Clev/Car/LV/Giants

After that who knows. NE but if you cant get a top guy how soon do you jump

No one on this board works for the NCAA.

If he's projected to be drafted he's gone. And he will be.

I'd take 2 mil guaranteed for one year and another crack at the draft over any of those deals.

IF McCord has another year of eligibility, those of you that think he'd come back also think we'll be his best offer NIL-wise?

 

[DocFlanders]

IF McCord has another year of eligibility, those of you that think he'd come back also think we'll be his best offer NIL-wise?

Nope, but he did turn down bigger offers to come to Syracuse, so he doesn't seem like a highest bidder type of guy. But if he keeps up at this pace he may see some some stupid offers roll in...

 

[Trueblue25]

In a world where he’d even entertain the idea of another college year - we’d not be his best offer NIL wise but we’d be competitive enough to keep him vs what that offer may be. Especially now that he’s a proven dome commodity.

He turned down Nebraska.

Does he turn down Bama? Tennessee? Clemson?

Y'all want to throw the hypotheticals that he'd come back, without realizing the extremely likely option is he isn't coming back.

 

[tep624]

Based on what? The NCAA didn't give a waiver to Taulia Tagovailoa, who had a similar "garbage time snaps in a 5th game" scenario.

Taulia redshirted. McCord didn’t.

 

[LeMoyneCuse]

Taulia redshirted. McCord didn’t.

Incorrect. Taulia played 5 games in 2019 and 2020 didn't count toward anyone's eligibility, hence why he was applying for a 6th year. This is the story on it.

He already left Ohio St, don't believe he would trust any of those coaches, no matter the money. He has known Fran almost his entire life, and would stay.

Hopefully we never need to find out and McCord just blows the doors off of everyone and cements himself as a high draft pick

 

[DomeHolmes]

I believe based on what he did at Ohio State and what he’s put on tape in six games here, the NFL knows what he is, and staying here another year probably would not make any difference to them. What could he do next year? Have another year just like this one? How would it change things?

I think his ability to make reads, make all the throws and stand in the pocket will be valuable enough to be at at least a third round pick.

I think besides the measurables and skills which is NFL quality, nothing generational for a QB. What really sets him apart is his leadership and professionalism. The sky is the limit for his career imo. We’ve actually have had many quarterbacks recently that had very noticeable leadership and professionalism in Mahoney, Dungey, and Shrader, but without the NFL measurables and skills for a QB. With McCord it feels like he has both and even in the NFL that is not as common of a combination.

No you're right - I guess you could redshirt and get the Covid year. Bleich did that.

It is a weird concept though in that the player isn't really responsible for usage and appropriate preservation of a redshirt, yet can lose an entire year of eligibility
