Cardale Jones threw for 245 yards and a touchdown in a road win against an undefeated Power-Five opponent on Saturday afternoon.
Unfortunately, this performance was deemed unacceptable by many Buckeye "fans," who took to Twitter to lambaste the college student putting his body on the line for our entertainment.

@CJ12_ you should probably just let Barrett be the qb bc clearly you aren't the best on the team.

Last year I left during any OSU game that @CJ12_ made it into, now I'm wondering how bad JT looks in practice to loose his job to this scrub
— Craig McClain (@cmichaelmac) October 3, 2015
Hey Craig, next time you leave the game, don't come back.

@CJ12_ sit the fuck down and let @JTbarrett16 come in
— KingLaPuLaPu (@devcraig2017) October 3, 2015
Jones is undefeated as a stater, so perhaps this backlash is a bit of an overreaction.
It's understandable to have differing opinions about the quarterback situation, but only the worst among us vent those opinions through hateful social media speech aimed at a college student.
The less: Don't be like these small, awful people.
