Oh you can make the argument for either QB, it’s why it’s such a talking point here. I just think Stroud actually played a tougher schedule against strongest defenses in harsher conditions and still put up better numbers than Young. The counter is Stroud had MHJ vs Young having JAGS at WR, but an elite RB. On a side note who was the last Bama starting QB to not win a championship much less miss the playoffs his last year?

I hope Tepper lets the football guys make the football decisions. Hell it’s 2 former QBs in Reich and McCown.

I just think the SEC was weak on defenses last year. The first UGA win was awesome, the championship game was not as UGA made adjustments (2 INTs to 1 TD including the game ending pick 6, -40 rushing yards) but again that was a historic defense. People keep saying he handled SEC defenses without getting injured. I’m just saying that isn’t true. Would you not agree?

So many dinners!!

But Stroud has the higher completion %? I know he has better WRs…

I’d prefer Stroud, but feel happy with either choice. I honestly which we could somehow get Houston to trade up so we can just get whichever they don’t pick plus some.

Didn't they not use him as a full time QB? I keep thinking he was converted to WR but struggled. Maybe I am thinking about Armanti Edwards who was also a similar size?

Stroud also played near perfect in his bowl game the previous year. Kind of seems like the bigger the stage the better he plays? Not that he plays bad during other games.

I wonder what makes Young the most "accurate?"

Last year?

No doubt he would make a great leader for this franchise.

That poor player is questioning his life choices as that beast of a man is grabbing him.....

Yep and people can say that his size is no big deal all they want, but he thought it was a big enough deal to try to mislead teams on it to a degree if not teams definitely the media.

No I don't think there was any long term damage in the hit. He just may need to alter his game a bit to take less hits in the NFL, but what college QB doesn't have to change the way they play at the next level.

The difference of size in Mahomes/Rodgers and Brees is very close to the difference in Brees and Young. About 2 inches and 15 pounds. Doesn't seem like much but it is definitely something to think about.

Maybe. If Tepper is saying he wants Young it might not matter that they say?

Same. I'd prefer Stroud because I think he is safer and just as good of a prospect. Young is still elite and if we draft him I'll be happy and just praying he holds up.

I don't think it would be just "water weight" I'm sure he had a weight gaining diet leading up to the combine to weigh in with his hoodie on to cover he wasn't in playing shape. Then slimmed back down leading up until today. Hell they even said he ate salad and scallops to maintain his strict diet at dinner.

It's literally why Young is not the sure first overall pick. It's why the Bears were willing to trade away the pick. It's why Vegas has Stroud as the current favorite, but sure we are overhyping it.....

Outside of UGA and Alabama (both teams Young didn't play last year) the SEC has a very down year in terms of defense. The tough SEC schedule was definitely overhyped in terms of QB play last year.

Yeah and who was the best SEC defense last year? I'm seeing 3 BIG10 teams ranked in the top 10 for defense and only UGA (who young didn't play and Stroud) listed outside of Alabama (who Young clearly didn't play). So let's hear it? Who was the best defense he played last year?

5ft12 huh?
