Alabama probably had less talent on offense this year but a better coach so it probably ends up very similar if you switch the QBs IMO. Young would thrive with all of those weapons and Saban/O'Brien would have Stroud looking as good as Day did with less around him (last year only).

Yeah but it's always a gamble when you draft a player. Eventually you have to take that gamble.

He is 41-35-1 as a head coach. So yeah he is technically a winning head coach, even in with that terrible GM and changing QBs every year in Indy. Again what are your credentials? Spoiler alert.... you don't have any.

Reich and McCown have played QB in the NFL. Reich is a solid HC that was just praised by the NFC champ Eagles HC as the best football mind he has been around, he helped Foles win a Super Bowl and had Wentz playing at a MVP level before his injury. Fitt was part of the staff that put together that Seahawks team that won with Russ. You know Capers and Caldwell have even bigger resumes. Ok now your turn. What makes you more qualified that this staff? Or any other poster on here.

Yeah that why it's a good debate. Both prospects aren't flawless, and both have a lot to like.

Sounds like he requested a trade since Reich was let go (which sent him to Dallas) and he loved Reich?

He is strictly a troll account at this point.

I think a weird way to put it is I prefer Stroud, but am scared of passing on Young if that even makes sense….

Mods and Zods.

He can tell which ones are alts by the IP addresses. His response was telling you that you are way off base thinking those 2 are the same person. They really don't act anything alike honestly.

Yeah like I said before the only way it happens is if the Texans fall in love with Young and offer something stupid. I don't see it happening though. We would also have Stroud rated very highly in this scenario.

Yeah especially when you mentioned Kentucky. Levis gets a bad rap on this board, but he had nothing outside of a decent RB on that roster. Young might end up injured behind that Kentucky OL. Like you said it's hard to tell outside of an educated guess.

Hmm that makes it interesting, but being a top recruit out of HS and going to a SEC School would still get him a lot of TV time. Ole Miss started off hot and loss 4 of the last 5 games. I think Young is a lot better than Dart so they probably win 2 or more of those losses. Getting them ranked high and possibly in the playoffs after being a top ranked recruit would definitely get the media's attention. I would think he still probably is in consideration if he went there. Eli made it happen, but he had the Manning name.

To me stating we were ok with trading up to 3, but the price so similar to 1 so we just did 1 shows we are comfortable with several prospects. Also the fact that we still haven't decided who we are drafting kind of shows the same thing. If that is truly the case and the Texans really like one vs the other then it makes sense to me. It's a lot of "ifs" though.

Yeah you are correct any of them could bust. I guess I mean the NFL wouldn't be shocked if we draft Young first. In fact it's almost expected it will be him or Stroud.

You expect me to believe any of this during this time period?

That's fair. I just think Olave, Wilson, JSN, and MHJ would be overkill in the weapons department and his LT is probably going early in this draft. Alabama is always loaded and Young wasn't playing with scrubs, but I think Stroud had some WRs running wide open a lot more than Young did. It doesn't mean Stroud can't do it with less talent around him, it's just an unknown at this point.

I love it. Thanks for displaying it all out for us!

I all seriousness if we do draft Young, Corral could develop into a solid backup for him. Both are quick QBs that can avoid pressure and have quick accurate releases. The playbook wouldn't have to change that much...

Oh I get it. There is a lot to like about Young. I just think your playbook is a little more limited as in less passing playing under center (if any) strictly due to his height. Anything he can control he excels at. It’s also a game of inches and I’m not sure Stroud’s accuracy is coachable. It’s off the charts and I say this while recognizing Young is very accurate as well. It’s why either one and I’m happy.

To me that’s his biggest red flag. The pressure issues got better as the season progressed, but he has always had elite talent around him. It’s a question mark on how he can handle playing with lesser talent around him. He is still my preference, but I totally get it.
