@Bear Handsis a great poster. He is always nonbiased and logical in his responses. Brings good data and info to back it up as well. I always enjoy reading what he has to say.

Yeah and if we are dropping a rookie QB (especially one on the smaller size) behind our OL we should probably play to that OL's strengths for a while until our QB gets comfortable.

Yeah. They have proven they can be successful under certain schemes. You have to play to your players strengths.

Stroud had a Goff floor IMO. I thought he was the safest prospect that could also become a Burrow (ceiling). I hope the S2 wasn't the main reason we passed on him. Young had some great film in college too so hopefully that's the reason.

It also freed up some future money for the salary cap plus helped up trade up to 1.

Yeah he should be all about the NIL. He has been doing it for years.

I love the "HE WON'T SAY WHAT GRADE THE SPRAIN IS??" people. I mean Reich isn't a doctor and probably didn't even ask. All he wants to know is when can his player be cleared to play. Also reading between the lines, being out 1-2 weeks doesn't seem like a high grade sprain.

Ah yes Florio who described Young as "The Allen Iverson of football." To Simms credit he had Stroud as the top QB the whole time.

As an Auburn fan I can more than relate to this... Our offense looks terrible again even with Freeze.

Not in the last two years though. That defense from 2 years ago was insane.

1-2 weeks. Sounds very mild. We are going to do whatever the doctors say. He is just deferring to them which is the right call. Carr is week to week with an AC joint sprain. What grade level? They didn’t say, but week to week means mild or he would go to IR. You guys are digging too hard at this.

It’s a sprained ankle? What else can he say. He said he is getting better everyday and will be the starter again ONCE CLEARED. Hmmm I wonder what that means???

It's completely useless to try to convince some of these people. We saw a DL land directly on our QBs ankle. He had a limp walking on the field with McCown at practice. Reich said he is going to do whatever the doctors say. Corbert said this team will do whatever the doctors say when it comes to playing through injuries and even referenced Young in that comment. It's one to two weeks and they have mentioned playing him through injuries won't help his development. "They are saying 1-2 weeks. When he gets CLEARED he will be out starter again." They aren't speaking in some code here...

Cam, Lamar, and now Burrow broke the Heisman curse. Stroud might just break the OSU curse.

Yeah when he had NFL weapons like UGA does he split the series against that historic defense.

Exactly. Say what you will but us fans that dislike Alabama are glad he is gone and the offense without him looks to be one of the worst they’ve had in a while.

I think we wanted Ben Johnson until he backed out. The thing is we have a young talented former McVay assistant coach on our staff. Thomas Brown needs to call plays.

Damn Burrow missed his WR pretty badly there.

The first chunk of his rookie season as a starter. Looks like he got better in the later part of the year (late November) https://alabama.rivals.com/news/breaking-down-bryce-young-s-deep-balls-against-arkansas After struggling with long passes earlier in the season, the sophomore has developed his deep ball in recent weeks. Over his last four games, Young has a 377.69 passer rating on throws of 20 yards or more, completing 11 of 17 for 437 yards and five touchdowns with no interceptions.

Thank you!!!!

Reasonable fans calling a rookie a bust after 2 games? I don’t think you know what reasonable means…. Oh and a brand new alias. Shocking…

Some of them actually just don’t have what it takes. Burrow’s OL was awful, Stafford’s OL was bad, Lawrence is making it as a day 1 starter, Cam did, Luck did with a bad OL. Stroud is progressing with a bad OL.
