Kyle McCord off to the old portal. 

Probably not a fit in Madison, to be honest. Not mobile.

I posted this in the OSU thread as well:

My opinion.   

Somebody is going to get a very nice upgrade at quarterback. Possible destinations already mentioned that makes sense are:

Miami
Louisville
North Carolina state
Rutgers
Nebraska
Pitt
Kentucky

Wish him well but you're being generous he's a good back up.But maybe a change of scenery was needed.Just really didn't adjust or be able to look ofs the primary receiver and still made ill advised throws. IMO tOSU made him look better,but good luck to him moving forward

You are kidding yourself if you don’t think he will be in high demand. 

not disagreeing that he wasn’t up to OSU history of recent QBs. 

You go 11-1 at Ohio State against a pretty good schedule, which includes Big Ten teams like Penn State, Michigan, and out of conference games, like Notre Dame. you throw for 3171 yards with 26 touchdowns and only six interceptions while completing 66% of your passes-  lots of schools would KILL to have that.  Especially in a kid who would very likely to improve in his second year as a starter.  

This one stings.

It's tough to go by stats alone with McCord. He could be really solid, or he could be a bust. How many of his yards are marvin making incredible plays on the ball or his short crossing route where it's a 5 yard pass that Marvin took it 35 yards? With Marvin, Egbuka and Stover, he had some absolutely incredible targets and I don't see that being replicated anywhere else next year. 

He had one of the biggest mistakes in the UM game, but he also lead a game winning drive against Notre Dame. Just tough to tell if he's a solid qb or the elite talent around him elevated his appearance.

It appears that the coaching staff at Ohio State had some very brutally honest conversations with players yesterday and last night.  I think McCord was one of them.  A number of others today as well. 

Ryan Day said in public that the quarterback competition was going to be open. Can’t blame him for that. McCord KNOWS he will have plenty of suitors.

I think nitpicking his stats is deceiving.  You could do that with many quarterbacks, who just throw short passes to shifty receivers, who gained 20 yards after the catch. He will be in high demand, and my sense of it is it was McCord’s choice because he didn’t want to face competition, and because he has been brutally criticized by the insane fan base.
