The rich are different

Ohio State will have a choice at quarterback next year of the following quarterbacks:

Braxton Miller a 6-2 215 senior who in 2013 had these stats:
Passing: 162/255 (63.5) 2,094 yards 24TDs 7int Rushing: 171c 1,068 yards 96.2) 12TDs

J. T. Barrett a 6-1 225 sophomore who in 2014 had these stats:
Passing: 203/314 (64.7) 2,834 yards 34TDs 10int Rushing: 171c 938yards (5.5) 11TDs

Cardelle Jones a 6-5 250 junior who in 2014 had these stats:
Passing: 40 of 69 (58.0) 618 yards 6TDs 1int Rushing: 51c 258 yards (5.1) 0TDs

You wonder if whoever finishes 3rd might transfer.

as well as Jones played he still looks to be the clear 3rd to me.

Well you can only play one at a time ... and very very rarely does a team get to their 3rd QB and have them play in a bowl game. OSU was a rare exception this season.

Is it possible that 2 could transfer with Barrett being the one with the most eligibility left?

Very possible. If I had to guess Miller and Jones may both leave to play elsewhere. Barrett was phenomenal this year and had the best statistic season for a QB in OSU history. Hard to see Jones going from starting the championship game back to 3rd string or even 2nd string. He may have been semi content as a backup before but I can't see him going back to that and being content.

I'll be interested to watch it play out. Is Barrett a redshirt? If so, Jones may assume he'll leave after next year and use his senior year to shine. Then again, that could be a big chance to take when he may be able to transfer as a hot commodity, even though he'd have to sit a year. I don't know what I would do if I were him.
