They both did exactly what they needed to do. Neither stock was hurt by their pro days. It did nothing but help them.

Lol a dime before a game ending pick 6. That sounds like Darnold. Keep it up this is good stuff man!

Young injured his throwing shoulder and missed the Texas A&M game last year. He beat Auburn who wasn’t bowl eligible and fired their coach midseason OK now I realize you aren’t for real. My bad for taking the troll bait…

Yep. Now do the championship where he threw the final pick 6. What about UT or LSU? What about the playoffs??? Oh wait Alabama actually missed the playoffs for the first time in a while during Young’s last year. It’s a team sport. I don’t hold any of that against Young because I can actually look at the player vs the team.

Young was the first Bama QB in a minute without a championship. Hell he even missed the entire playoffs last year. Squeaked by Texas… See how dumb this looks. It’s a team game and anyone blaming Stroud for the UGA loss has a definite agenda.

He was undrafted…

It was known all season. He went undrafted to the Eagles (who weren't the champs btw).

LOL @rippadonnyou were pivoting the other day saying you liked him as a sleeper pick! Number 6?!?!

He is a PANTHER now! https://nevadasportsnet.com/news/reporters/ex-nevada-star-carson-strong-signs-with-usfls-michigan-panthers#:~:text=Former record-breaking Nevada quarterback,Pack career from 2018-21.

Speaking of Strong..... Where is Carson these days?

I've heard from a couple people on here Jim Caldwell might be the deciding vote if the staff is split of Young/Stroud. It's a complete guess, but his expertise definitely holds a lot of weight. He has had a hand in 4 Super Bowl winning QBs: Brad Johnson, Peyton Manning, Joe Flacco, and Matthew Stafford. This would make you think he prefers pocket passers, but that was also the trend back when he was coaching. Just throwing some more info out there for us to all argue over....

I get it. It's just playing style. Running around in the backfield, eyes on back of head, 6th sense type of plays. It will be interesting to see how it translates without the arm talent. I mean Young's arm is capable, but definitely not elite.

Happy Birthday! and no you just missed a bunch of Stroud/Young debates.

Yeah, that's why is Mini Mahomes or Mahomes lite. He lacks Mahomes elite arm strength and about 4 inches in height. Honestly Mahomes' arm talent is a huge part of what makes him so special.

Just further confirms how close Stroud and Young are.

You prefer the one that is Young's ceiling? No way?!?!?!

Burrow is Stroud's ceiling. Mini Mahomes is Young's.

Seems a little extreme. The counter is if you pass on him and he becomes the next Mahomes what happens?

I’m more than ok with us taking him. He has a great QB mind. He has a chance to be special. I just can’t sit here and say his size isn’t a concern.

Yep there are two top choices both with strengths and weaknesses.

If this is true it’s more than likely the same QB Houston wants. I believe that’s Young right?

I mean Young was trying to put on weight before the combine to "have a frame that's going to hold up." So I guess someone needs to tell him that lower weight doesn't mean more injury? https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10062995-mcshay-bryce-young-working-on-trying-to-get-up-to-210-pounds-ahead-of-nfl-draft

Correct again a much larger sample size. He stated because Young was small and did great in college will be small and be great in the NFL. Heisman winning QBs usually struggle (Burrow/Cam aside) at the next level despite their size. Young's heisman (from a data view) is not a great thing.

Most QBs fall into a certain height/weight range. So looking at previous data (especially when dealing with one as unique as Young) seems pointless to me. My point is if we want to review this OP's data and claim Young will be healthy I can pull other data showing he will suck. Too many variables like how good was the OL, What kind of offense did they run, what was the injury etc...
