It makes me intrigued and also sick to my stomach at the same time.

Problem solved. He also wore a headband...

I like him for his TikTok dance moves.

Stafford had a great team around him as well.

Yeah my point was the 6'4" athletic guys in Cam/Luck had short careers. Then you have Brees with a long career and Russ is still going at his age. I'm just not sure there is a direct correlation with size and injury in the NFL. I might even go as far as the say the biggest guys take more hits (draw less flags and are more prone to try to run through contact) and possibly are more often injured. Trey Lance is another big QB and can't stay healthy. Even looking at WRs, Julio was huge and couldn't stay healthy, Steve Smith was relatively healthy (I remember he broke his arm, but that is kind of a fluke injury) and played a while, Gronk seemed to always be injured as well. While short QBs aren't common as they have become a newer trend, I'm not sure there is a direct correlation with height and injury. I definitely understand your concern though. It's why I have Stroud over Young in my ranking, but if we get Young I won't lose any sleep over it and will be pretty excited.

Yeah it was pretty minor. I think he missed one game and played through the injury a week later against UT and played very well while taking many hits. Injuries are unfortunately going to happen, hell we had one of the biggest, baddest QBs in the league have his carreer end short, Luck was also a good size and had to retire early. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't call many QB runs with a smaller QB, but Young excels in navigating the pocket. I get he is an outlier, but the league has changed a lot to protect these QBs as well. Look how long Brady was able to play and Rodgers is what 38 and getting traded to another team and he isn't huge for a QB, Brees played until he was like 40.

Corral is like 4 inches taller and the same weight. He is built like a high schooler and already had injury issues his last season. I'd prefer Stroud, but Young would definitely intrigue me. He is the best at reading defenses and making adjustments IMO. Honestly if you give him a couple inches he would be the next Burrow/Luck/Lawrence type draft pick.

He needs to be a Raider back with McDaniels.

I love Kasay, just don’t bring up that Super Bowl kick…

All of this plays into the salary cap. It’s just paying money now vs later. It’s why we can’t sign big free agents right now no matter how rich our owner is unless we cut some players or restructure a lot of cap which will hurt next year’s space.

D. Arnold is too close to Darnold. The Huddle can’t handle that…

I don’t think it works that way. It can’t be manipulated by the rich owner’s extra money…

Restructuring Moton is already dipping into next year’s space. Like I said it will be interesting to see how 24s cap space looks after this season…

San Fran traded 3 firsts for Trey Lance 2 years ago and still made a nice playoff push this year. If Lance was able to play in that last playoff game Purdy got injured, who knows what would have happened. If nothing else San Fran shows up that trading up for a top 3 QB isn't as crippling to a franchise as people think. Ask the pretty recent Super Bowl Winners the Eagles and the Rams.

Lol we are fans cheering for a football team, OF COURSE a majority want them to be aggressive. Most football fans want immediate gratification, it's why the 7 year process (a joke) pissed off so many people. It's why a future 1st apparently holds less value that a current.

Good point! Based on a very small sample size, it looks like the opposite. Rams went to the big game with Goff and won not too long after acquiring him (yes they traded him away to do so). The Eagles won one with Wentz (injured at the time) and went to another one not too long after. The Niners made a nice playoff push this year and if Lance was healthy who knows? The last few teams that have traded up for a top 3 QB used their extra cap space wisely and had good coaching which made them very competitive.

I love the "always throwing to open WRs" as a negative. So umm is he not suppose to throw it to the open WR?

So two years ago the Niners traded up to 3 for the third option. Hopefully it won't cost THAT to do it this year....

They are going to give Darnold a large contract and draft Levis while the Huddle explodes.

Put it this way... Will Kunkel is no Garry Cobb, but honestly who is???
