Downs AND Boutte to go with Stroud! Yes please!!!

I’m just glad we agree his size is a concern. Finally on the sane page after that Flutie nonsense.

Directly from our HC's mouth. What more do you need to see here???

Lol yeah talking about QBs that actually had HOF careers in the NFL when they got the chance vs a QB that had to go play in the CFL is a BIG (pun intentional) difference. It's like saying since Warner did great in the Europe league let's take a random QB from the Europe League and brag about his stats hoping we can draft a player like him. Nonsense.....

I also don't think you want Young running the ball very much in the NFL. I don't think he needs to, but that would be playing with fire considering his size...

It will be his problem. Good luck playing him in a crucial game when the opponents can get pressure.

They know that you know they think they know.

I know! …I’m just not telling.

You were arguing about size again. “How many bigger guys got hurt?” Read your own poo.

Why did Flutie go the CFL? If he was so great wouldn’t a NFL team want him? The Flutie thing is going to be a tough one to sell.. Stick with Brees (who I know is bigger, but still).

Talk to Reich about it. He said durability was a concern with his size.

He is a great leader and has tremendous talent. He is going early in the first (possibly 1) despite his size concerns. However his size IS concerning regardless.

I mean you are comparing CFL players to the NFL so yeah a lot of people are going to think you don’t know these things. Keep grasping for straws though. So far it’s only hurt your argument. Young has great traits but our HC has says his durability in relation to his size IS a concern. Will it prevent him from going 1? I don’t think so, but ignoring it because a CFL player made it work 30 plus years ago isn’t the best strategy…

Lol it has to be…

That’s great and all but we are talking about NFL careers. I don’t care what they can do in the CFL, USFL, or arena football. NFL players are bigger stronger and faster. PJ Walker was a XFL star to give you an idea of how different the leagues are…

Small QB that played great in college, won the heisman, but couldn’t sustain success in the NFL so he went to play in the CFL. Such a bad comparison.. You could use him as a reason NOT to draft a small QB at 1 honestly.

He was great in the CFL. Let’s hope we don’t draft that at 1.

Putt putt is better than golf.

Yeah.

Kyler just gets banged up every year. I’m not saying Stroud is the answer. I just hope we do better than Kyler Murray (who for the record I think Young will be much better than).

Where are they drafting this year?

He wasn't going to give it a response no matter who he said. He could have said pick Bennett from UGA and received the some response. That's just how Reich rolls.

I get it, but a majority of the time he was crushing teams from the pocket. I mean last year he only lost to Michigan outside of that UGA game. He wasn't really struggling with his league best QB rating. He isn't going to run unless he needs to. You have a fair point though. There were several games he should have used his legs more but opted not to throughout his career. He said he left it all on the field against UGA. Do you think Reich and Co can get him to consistently leave it all on the field?

He has shown he is capable of being that guy against an elite defense. We have a more than capable staff that will be working with him. I hope they will be able to get the best out of any player we draft and that appeared to be his best. Of course with that line of thinking AR would be an extreme case of getting the best out of a player.

That's all fair and I think that is what our HC is saying. Does everything else he does so well overcompensate for his lack of ideal size? That's up to our staff to decide. My opinion is Stroud isn't far behind him in processing and accuracy (might be more accurate) without the size concerns so I would prefer him, but that's just me. Young is a great prospect too, but his size shouldn't be overlooked.
