Urban Meyer says patience will be key for Cardale Jones’ next team

[RS12]

At a time when the NFL is becoming increasingly impatient with its quarterbacks, the man who coached one of this year’s quarterback prospects is suggesting the exact opposite.

Via Marla Ridenour of the Akron Beacon Journal, Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said that the team that takes Cardale Jones will need to be willing to take their time.

“I think there’s going to have to be patience, an excellent quarterback coach that’s going to have to earn his trust,” Meyer said. “There’s going to have to be a great relationship there; he’s a relationship-type guy. He and [former OSU offensive coordinator] Tom Herman were very close and that took three years.

“It’s going to be dictated by the team that takes him, the amount of patience and the relationship he develops with the quarterback coach.”

While not overtly negative in tone or content regarding Jones, Meyer’s words send a message that could make plenty of teams without the luxury of patience scratch the player’s name from their draft board. And that wasn’t the only passive-aggressive commentary from the man who won a national championship thanks in large part to Jones’ performance.

Dallas is definitely not the place for Jones.

Dallas is definitely not the place for Jones.

Depends if Wade Wilson is retained in 2017. Or Jason Garrett for that matter.

Why is everybody so down on Wade Wilson? It's not like Tony hasn't gotten significantly better each season he's been here. And it's not like he's failed to develop any talented young QBs in his time here, because we haven't brought in any.

Dallas with Wilson, Linehan, Garrett, and Romo still here is an amazing opportunity for a talented young player to develop.

Vaughn and whatshisface went no where. Romo is Romo because of what he does himself, no qb coach tells him how to read defenses or play with instinct. Cassel talked about how little help he received from coaching. Weeden was kept a year longer despite being awful. List goes on
