We've gone too far.

It's the most important position in all of sports - I've no idea why every team doesn't keep 3 on the roster at all times. You should always be developing someone.

I think you could see on the co-hosts' face that he fears he's about to be replaced.

Unless Fitterer and Reich are lying, they haven't sat down as a group and discussed who they actually want at QB yet. That discussion starts next week after the visits.

See I'm the opposite. I saw Young's debut where he murdered the Canes (we were terrible that year) - I was blown away. The more I watch him, the less I like as an NFL prospect. His size just massively limits what he's going to be able to do in the NFL - there's simply no getting away from it.

If who's processing was so elite? On the topic of Richardson though, how long do you give SunBelt Billy before he's fired? That offensive system... woof!

Richardson is with the Panthers today and tomorrow, FYI.

That War Room is going to get Frank and themselves fired.

What makes you think he doesn't process well?

Well I've watched them both for multiple years and don't want to watch them any more. Mallory is soft and wouldn't block his grandmother. He's a Flex TE, but don't expect him to make any contested catches. Stevenson came into Coral Gables with a ton of hype after transferring from Georgia. He constantly looked like a S trying to play CB.

I'm pooing your tone. It stinks.

Tyrique Stevenson CB/NB is a no from me. A consistent disappointment at Miami.

Stroud is not Burrow (out of College at least) and it's a really unfair comparison for CJ. You're setting him up to fail if you think that he can produce anything like in the NFL. Burrow threw for 60 TDs his Senior year (that's 19 more than Stroud as a Junior). He was utterly ridiculous in College - and both were surrounded by 'first day' NFL talent at the skill positions.

You're falling into the trap of pigeonholing Richardson as an athlete that doesn't know how to play QB. Pryor, Vick, Young and Jackson all won with their legs first, their arm second. Richardson is an inexperienced pocket passer that just happens to run a 4.4.

The good pocket passers that were playing on the overwhelmingly more talented team 95% of the time?

I'm not sure Nagy verbally blowing Saban needed another thread, but I'm not one to judge.

I did the same with Mahomes - started off thinking "meh, he's just a big armed kid in a QB friendly system playing backyard football - that'll never fly in the NFL". Then the more you watched his tape, the more you saw he knew exactly what he was doing on those 'crazy' plays. I don't think Richardson is Mahomes btw - he's the best QB prospect I've ever seen - but I think he's a franchise QB (i.e. a top 5 QB in the NFL that you wouldn't trade for the world) if he pans out. A good deal of my projection for Richardson is based on the fact he's 20 years old, had a terrible supporting cast (both players and coaches) and has only 13 career starts btw. If he looked like this as a 23 year old in year 3 I'd be much less bullish on him.

As I keep saying - Young is undoubtedly the best College QB of the three (partly down to his supporting cast and partly down to the opposition). The NFL Draft is about projection - who is going to be the best NFL QB, and not just in 2023? That's who you take.

I will be banned if he goes somewhere else and shows out and Young dies on an innocuous play and Stroud hits a 'competent NFL starter' ceiling.

We made the trade to get into the QB conversation - it's pretty clear now that only Levis has a shot of being there at #9 overall and that's a hard no from me. We've been repeatedly told that the difference between acquiring #1 and #3 was negligible in terms of Draft capital, so we pulled the trigger. With regards to Richardson sitting - honestly I think that's the last thing he needs. He has 13 career starts (and is THIS advanced with his pocket presence / movement, reads and anticipation) - the guy needs to play football. He's only going to learn through experience. You need to tweak his mechanics, but that's what the offseason and Training Camp is for.

Eddy Piñeiro is 2 inches taller than Bryce Young. He's 185lbs, so they're a very similar weight too.

Does anyone have a list of games I can watch where Stroud doesn't handle pressure well? I've watched quite a few of his games and never noticed anything glaring. Thanks in advance.

He can't block for poo and he's soft. As a late round flier, sure, but nothing more. Also Brown didn't call plays in Miami.

Richardson wouldn't pick #15. I assume Corral would want some of Young's signing bonus to give him #9. Same with Thompson and Stroud with #7.

From the transition to a 3-4 system? Burns. From the DC himself? I'm hoping Chinn.
