I don't prescribe to the theory that OSU can't produce a good QB, because of past failures.

But I do prescribe to the theory that somehow we are cursed with Ohio State players. This goes all the way back to Schlicther and continues with Quitcock, Doss, Gonzalez, Lewis, Campbell, Hooker, Mewhort, Hartsock. Did I miss anyone?

As someone who lived through Schlicther and who does believe in the football gods this makes complete logical sense to me. Your list is painful.

Ohio State did have one college quarterback whom the Colts converted into a running back ...... and then turned him back into a quarterback out of desperation.

Yes, I know. Jim Parker was also from Ohio State. That's why it's the curse of Art Schlichter. This all happened after Sclichter.

Parris Campbell had his healthiest (and best) season so far, and that was with with a horrible offensive line that was blocking for his quarterbacks ...... at 25 years-old, I'm looking forward to seeing him in 2023 and beyond, especially if the Colts improve both the offensive line and the quarterback position.

There's reason to be excited about Campbell. He flashed his explosiveness on the rare occasions our offense could execute. But he was reduced to a possession receiver in most instances. Which is good that he showed he could do that as well, not just be a gimmick and deep-ball guy.

If the QB/OL situation can stretch the field more (couldn't possibly be less), I think he'll do well.
