OSU QB Cardale Jones Twitter hilarity
October 5th, 2012 at 12:58 PM ^
This is a kid from a poor neighborhood, with bad grades from a bad high school who had to go to prep school to qualify... no, he really doesn't know.
It might not make sense to us, but it is what it is.
Also, by all accounts that I've read, Cardale has a terrible attitude (as evidenced by his tweets).
October 5th, 2012 at 1:56 PM ^
All of those facts would make you think that he would want to take advantage of the unique opportunity that has been given to him. Looks like he will live the rest of his life in that poor neighborhood.
October 5th, 2012 at 12:59 PM ^
Well... both guys ahead of him on the depth chart are older than him ,so saying he won't go to NFL or likely never take a meaningful snap isn't a fair assumption.
October 5th, 2012 at 1:26 PM ^
Well yeah, he's a freshman. Every freshman who comes in is behind kids older than them, for the most part.
But Cardale in only one year behind Miller, and has a pretty highly rated guy a year behind him. Add that to the fact that Cardale has never proven to be a great QB prospect, and that he is far from an Urban-style QB (no pun intended), I highly doubt we ever see Cardale Jones playing meaningful minutes as an OSU QB.
October 5th, 2012 at 1:32 PM ^
He will most likely be passed up by JT Barrett once he gets on campus anyways. I can see a transfer in the future.
October 5th, 2012 at 1:44 PM ^
Absolutely no doubt about that. Barrett is a better QB all around than Jones, and a much better fit for OSU's offense. The coaches will be grooming him as BM's heir apparent.
Cardale might have a shot if he moves to TE, actually. He's a big dude.
October 5th, 2012 at 4:31 PM ^
But BM is the shit.
October 5th, 2012 at 6:43 PM ^
intended?
October 5th, 2012 at 12:48 PM ^
I'm glad he picked OSU and not Michigan. I would have thought that going to Fork Union would have straightened him up a little bit. I guess he still doesn't understand...
October 5th, 2012 at 12:52 PM ^
I guess it didn't help much since he spent only 6 months there.
October 5th, 2012 at 10:05 PM ^
...'cause kids don't go to FUMA for football at all.
October 6th, 2012 at 9:34 AM ^
They do go there for football, but I would think a military academy would help them at least a little bit with their discipline...
October 6th, 2012 at 7:51 PM ^
...he was there for only 6 months.
October 5th, 2012 at 12:53 PM ^
This kid's got a point. I mean he's got a bright future waitng for him in the NFL. What team wouldn't want to draft a 3rd string qb who will never see the field?
October 5th, 2012 at 1:24 PM ^
and doesn't like studying? I mean, cuz, they don't spend any time hittin' the books in the NFL. No siree...
October 5th, 2012 at 2:26 PM ^
To be drafted.
October 5th, 2012 at 12:53 PM ^
Is his twitter handle a misspelling of his own name?
October 5th, 2012 at 12:54 PM ^
Insert "Super Mario Kart" for FOOTBALL and I would have tweeted the same thing in college.
October 5th, 2012 at 7:01 PM ^
October 5th, 2012 at 12:58 PM ^
Fuck science!
October 5th, 2012 at 3:21 PM ^
F'n magnets, how do they work?
October 5th, 2012 at 12:58 PM ^
October 5th, 2012 at 2:09 PM ^
Is this soccer-related?
October 5th, 2012 at 2:26 PM ^
Ashley Cole is the left back for Chelsea. He was once married to Cheryl (Tweedy) Cole, but like an idiot, he cheated on her numerous times. He is good at soccer, but he is also a twat.
October 5th, 2012 at 12:59 PM ^
I'll see you in food service, Cardale.
October 5th, 2012 at 1:02 PM ^
An amazing quote - simple yet profound, innocently assertive and completely honest without any regard to the long term significance. He should win 2012's most honest thing said by an athlete.
That is from the OSU just makes it even better.
October 5th, 2012 at 1:11 PM ^
"Why should I have to work for everything? It's like saying I don't deserve it!"
I hope that your shift manager at Taco Bell will help sponsor your neighborhood leauge, Cardell, so that you can still come to play FOOTBALL.
October 5th, 2012 at 1:12 PM ^
Holy smokes. Just what you want to hear from a quarterback, albeit a back-up one. If that's what the guy's attitude is about learning, it makes you wonder why Ohio (or any top program) would offer him a scholarship (like us!).
October 5th, 2012 at 1:26 PM ^
Just add that to the "Great things said by an OSU QB!" list.
BTW, did anyone else notice he spelled his name wrong too? It's listed at the top as cArdel, but then below that for his twitter handle he has it as cOrdel... Also his twitter handle is @cordel 10, when obviously by his picture he is 12. Granted he wore 10 in HS, so that one is semi-excusable. His whole twitter account is full of fail!
October 5th, 2012 at 1:28 PM ^
He just offended the handful of his teammates who did go to OSU to play school.
October 5th, 2012 at 1:31 PM ^
Cant wait for the ESPN 30 for 30 "Broke and Uneducated"
October 5th, 2012 at 1:34 PM ^
I'm loving buckeyeplanet on this one.
Most popular comments? "I came to get f'ed up!" and "I went for pussy and beer!" A bastion of higher education, clearly. Seriously, 9/10ths of the responses support this kid in saying that!
October 5th, 2012 at 2:30 PM ^
Like "I went for pussy and beer!" got a whole lot of the latter but almost none of the former?
October 5th, 2012 at 1:36 PM ^
I thought they went there for the free tattoos?
Low blow? Low blow.
October 5th, 2012 at 1:37 PM ^
Everybody kills people, murders people, steals from you, steals from me.
October 5th, 2012 at 1:50 PM ^
We ain't come to talk CRIME...
October 5th, 2012 at 2:18 PM ^
I'm betting he ends up academic All-B1G, just like Terrelle.
October 5th, 2012 at 1:50 PM ^
Hello, Gordon? This is Mark. Tell your 3rd string quarterback to put a lid on it or we'll get pressured to investigate you again.
October 5th, 2012 at 1:50 PM ^
LOL, his profile no longer exists.
October 5th, 2012 at 1:50 PM ^
... in twitter speak, the grammer is actually not that bad.
October 5th, 2012 at 1:52 PM ^
It's "grammar," not "grammer."
October 5th, 2012 at 2:03 PM ^
it's grammar and not grammer.
October 5th, 2012 at 2:07 PM ^
...umm... being clever?
October 5th, 2012 at 2:12 PM ^
nah, you were not
October 5th, 2012 at 2:00 PM ^
I'm Rick James, bitch.
October 5th, 2012 at 2:07 PM ^
October 5th, 2012 at 2:09 PM ^
Cardale must be failing the TWILIGHT Class i assume
October 5th, 2012 at 2:13 PM ^
