Why? What’s the worst that could happen? Someone takes him in the first to stop us from getting him and he makes more money??

I’m not saying we won’t, but it’s hard to announce or predict pick 33 before the actual draft…

I provided video proof last offseason and was told it was simply a PR stunt. I mean I get having doubts, but some people are a little extreme…

I know ISM posted some pictures of working out with Bryce and routing some routes for him. Is it normal for young QBs to post their offseason workouts? Are AR, Stroud, and Levis sharing videos or something? I’m not trying to be condescending as I really have no idea what the norm is.

I get what you are saying and it makes sense. It’s weird though because people have been frustrated with Tepper for also firing Head Coaches too quickly. Would the same ego not try to force a bad coach that he helped hand pick that you claim is trying to force a QB that wasn’t really a reach my a lot of people at pick 1? It’s not like Tepper (if he was the one adamant about Young) out of no where and says draft this guy. He also couldn’t have been too die hard Young as they had a plan to move up to 2 and take Stroud until Houston backed out. I think Tepper was die hard QB and probably overplayed his hand. Personally I think Tepper wants to win at all cost and yes he oversteps and gets in his own way a lot. If he is being told by all these professionals that Bryce isn’t it, I really don’t think he will try to force him to be. The one quality I kind of like about Tepper is he knows when to cut his losses. Hell Reich, who he handpicked with Fitt, didn’t even finish a season because it was clear he wasn’t the guy. He flew out to offer Rhule his contract and fired him 2.5 years into a 7 year deal. From my perspective it looks like Morgan and company are clearly building enough to see what Bryce can do at this level. Signing those OGs, trading for DJ, and more than likely drafting some weapons should give Young an offense where we can at least see what he can do. I know many fans have written him off, and that’s understandable, but last year was just a complete cluster all around. I try to remove myself from being attached or completely against a player (especially a rookie) and am on the wait and see. If he looks the same or worse then we simply move on and let this staff find their guy. Part of me loves reading about QBs as draft prospects so this route could be entertaining as well.

Not winning for Nico 2026 (Tennessee QB is getting some hype). Sucking for Sanders 2025. That QB at Florida looks legit, but he will be a true freshman this year. You should check him out if you haven’t yet. DJ Lagway.

I’m high on Sanders too in next draft. I want to see how he does with better OL play.

Rattler playing behind that terrible OL didn’t do him many favors I’m sure. Those inconsistencies while showing out against lesser secondaries is alarming though. Plus he wasn’t really good until his last year (5th year senior right?).

Check out his he played against A&M and Tennessee. Then he goes off on UNC (bad secondary), Miss St (bad secondary), JVST, and Vandy..

Well at least we are better equipped to develop a young WR. Don’t get me wrong XL has talent and I’ll cheer for him if he is the pick, I just have other prospects I like more. Especially at 33…

It will be nice if he does, but if not we will just roll the dice again.

My biggest concern about Legette is how be played against better competition. He seemed to put up great numbers against lower tier secondaries and was relatively quiet against better secondaries.

The ones that can look good with a bad OL and weapons are truly rare. I’d love to have one. Cam made it work a few seasons but injuries and inconsistencies piled up. I think it can make some press too hard to create something out of nothing. Bryce was never going to be a flashy QB, but I think the hope is he will be able to create plays and make the right reads to become clutch like he was in college. Whether he can or will is yet to be seen. I’ve always thought his peak is a smaller Burrow. Just seems to know where to go with the ball each play and extends them with his legs to compensate for not having an elite arm.

I tend to agree. Constant pressure leads to loss of fundamentals. Footwork gets sloppy, feet get nervous. It happens to all QBs when they are trying to make something out of nothing. Mahomes is the only one who can still pull it off pretty regularly with or without his fundamentals.

It's kind of funny, because several analysts stated it backwards. Young shined in college when a play broke down and that is when (aside from the UGA game) Stroud struggled. It just shows you drafting a QB can just be a crapshoot sometimes and requires them going to the right system and a little bit of luck... Personally I thought Stroud had the highest floor because he was close to perfect when everything was going right. I thought his floor was Goff with a higher ceiling. I kind of thought Young was the gamble but one teams would be concerned about passing up based on some of the "magic" he created in college. Stroud was the safest pick IMO which I was I was wanting us to take him after what we gave up.

Yeah, plus Stroud and AR have upper tier arm strength. I think Young being in that class makes his look worse. Plus like you said constant pressure. I remember Penix looking like he has a cannon when he had time in college, but against Michigan when he was under pressure constantly it looked much worse...

Most of what I read were concerns about his size in relation to durability. I probably read “if Bryce was 6’2” he be the perfect prospect” several times. Arm seemed to be mentioned as “good enough” by most. Hey if he busts maybe we overcorrect and draft a 6’8” QB with an absolute cannon?

AD is my hope but I feel like he won’t make it to 33…

Some people just like to be upset or angry. Unfortunately people with legit connections aren't going to sit here and keep giving it while the trolls are attacking...

The most legit one I remember was @The Crown and Clawor @The Crown and the Claw. They specifically called assistant coaching hires before they were leaked like Thomas Brown and Parks Frazier I believe.

Johnson seems to fit in with Bryce better. Quick route runner who can get open vs a deep threat. Hope he works out better too.

If he is there in the 5th and Bryce gives the ok, I’m taking him.

Burton is interesting. Seems to have a lot of talent, but is a bit of a headcase. We do have Young who knew him from High School in Cali and of course played with him in college. I wonder how he feels about drafting Burton?

Our offensive staff is pretty young, but at least Canales has been coaching in the NFL for a decent amount of time. HIs play calling is obviously very green, but I might prefer that over a stubborn vet at this point. Hopefully he will stay pretty open minded and adjust it based on the results on the fields because Reich did not... The good news is if he doesn't work out, Tepper won't be afraid to move on from him.

He is a business man and knows when to cut his losses. This is what kind of gives me hope he will eventually get it right. He also seems to be trying a different approach each time from Rhule, to Reich, and now a firm to help hire Canales all 3 very different candidates.
