We all knew Young had a high football IQ, but many backup QBs do as well. McCown is our QB coach but was never an elite player. Stroud has the height and arm talent that can't be taught. It's easy to see how many of us wanted him (especially after that Georgia game). At the end of the say Stroud went 2 right after Young so it wouldn't have been a crazy reach. I just trust in our staff and think they made the right decision with Young now that it's all said and done.

Imagine when he has some years under his belt. He could have Manning level football IQ when it’s all said and done. His arm has also looked stronger than advertised during camp. A lot of tight window darts and deep balls to Chark.

A little turned on, but not enough to make it weird…

I feel like he is better at OG. BC at backup LT and Mayes as backup RT always made the most sense to me. Let Erving backup the interior line as it’s easier to hide a bad player there.

Married to a Canadian and believe me when I say they take their dishwasher loading VERY seriously.

I’ve seen smaller…

Did you check out any of those Australian Dental Gummies while you were there?

He is still pretty raw, but Barno seems like a player that’s going to play much better in the 3-4. I haven’t heard much about him in TC but I think he hopefully makes a leap soon as a key rotational player.

Because if we need a QB to step in and play game manager for a game or two, Dalton is the guy. He also will be helping with Young’s development as the veteran QB. It makes sense for him to be the backup and get the backup reps.

Thanks @TheCasillas for the updates!

Jammie Robinson makes a lot of sense. He was a late round pick, but members of the secondary are already high on him and we aren’t super loaded at safety. Especially if Evero moves Chinn to Buffalo Nickel I could see Robinson getting a lot of playing time with Bell and Woods at safety.

@TheCasillas posted a summary. He had just as many catches in TC as any other WR. Young is spreading the ball out to build chemistry with all of his WRs. Let’s see how he plays in the regular season before we write him off.

Yeah you hate to see injuries but injuries to starting QBs really hurt teams and injuries to elite QBs hurt the NFL’s ratings. I hope he plays all year.

My bad, I see what you are saying. A clean tackle as the ball touches Chark would be fair game. It helps if I read the full rule and not stop halfway down…

I was just showing it not simply a hit to the helmet. That’s a different penalty. You can’t lay out a WR as he is catching the ball. He must become a runner first so he has a chance to absorb or avoid the impact.

Much better angle. Thanks for the clip!

Gettis and McNutt for depth.

That's exactly what I was about to post. You can't lay out a defenseless WR anymore. Take another 15 yards plus possible throwing the safety out of the game plus a fine if he does lay out Chark in a game there. It's hard to tell if he was locating the ball or letting up. Regardless the placement was perfect as Chark didn't have to break stride. Maybe the decision could be debated if the WR gets laid out but placement was great.

With perfect placement. I’ll take that over an overthrown rocket arm all day long.
