In terms of handling pressure, both excelled the past two seasons, but Young was significantly better. During that stretch, according to ESPN Stats & Information, Young ranked first in passing yards (2,132), passing touchdowns (24) and completions of 20-plus yards (34) when under pressure. Stroud ranked 16th in total yards (1,364) and passing touchdowns (15), and was 20th in completions of 20-plus yards (20). The big difference is Stroud seldom had to make plays outside the pocket for the Buckeyes because his protection was so good. He never had a game with more than eight rushes in his career. Young often had to ad-lib because of breakdowns behind a line that for Alabama was substandard, yet his production didn't suffer. In 2022, Alabama's offensive line allowed a quarterback pressure within 2.5 seconds 9.9% of the time, which ranked 29th in the country. Ohio State's line ranked 17th at 8%. However, Alabama ranked 80th in pressure rate allowed at 29.2%, and OSU ranked 22nd at 23.4%. In 2022, Stroud had a Total QBR when pressured of 30.6 and 85.3 when blitzed. Young's Total QBR was 30.1 when pressured and 89.9 when blitzed.

You post this video a lot. Wonder what Josh McCown thinks of this throw? ***Spoiler*** It's on YouTube. You should check it out.

Darin Gantt in his most recent mailbag was asked some quesitons regarding Corral. He essentially said he will benefit from this coaching staff and will be able to learn behind Dalton. In a separate question he brings up Eason and his familiarity with Frank Reich. Says something along the line of he'll be a good practice squad guy. So at least for Darin Gantt, depth chart is... Rookie Dalton Corral Eason

Here's what I'm talking about. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/vicis-creates-the-first-football-helmet-designed-specifically-to-better-protect-linemen/

I don't know if this is the same company, but I thought specialized helmets for olinemen came out already. I'm not talking about the caps used in practice.

Walterfootball still has Stroud at #1, fwiw. Most recently updated at 4/11.

Do you post this pic in every thread? And why? O.o

In the comments he's asked directly... quoted off memory, question may not be exact... "So you have intel they are split on Stroud and you have intel on Carolina?" His response, "That's what it looks like. Yea."

I've heard the Colts are definitely taking Levis at 4.

My god are you salty.

It's happening the other way to. Like the IG thread.

Or maybe he unfollowed 3 others to make sure his follower count stayed the same to make it look that way! /s Good catch though lol.

Or he was in the process of following all of them and Bryce happened to be the first one. Screenshot happened at just the right moment by some bizarre luck. Just saying it's a possibility.

This is the way.

1. Nothing's done till it's done. These media people always hedge just in case. 2. Even if they have firm confirmation of it, they have to phrase it that way. Sources won't allow media to make anything that sounds like an official confirmation until the team is ready. The media doesn't want to break trust with the sources, so will do as they ask.

Ah, there it is finally. I'll say this, I think by this time next week, after the next set of 30 visits, we'll know more. Media types are either going to start being more firm on their beliefs with less waffling, or what is starting to look like a consensus will get more muddy like we've seen before.

Ngl, this is hard to ignore. Queue smokescreen gif.

I mean he's one of the only people that has been saying Bryce since the day we traded up. When he first said it, it was shocking because nobody else was saying that 4 weeks ago. I think it's pretty tinfoil hat personally, but I'm gonna throw fuel on this anyway.

Thank you for this. I was looking for game stats for 2018 but couldn't find them. My memory was the same as frankw's. I coulda sworn after that game it was night and day.

You mean this one? https://www.espn.com/video/clip/_/id/32569965 or this one? or this one? I have no idea how far he throws it, but whether it's 50 yards or 65 yards, or 99 yards, safeties won't be able to ignore it. He can clearly throw 50 yards and hit receivers in stride with his feet planted.

Nvm

This is a good example but a bad example at the same time. If you run the 40 yard dash daily, you will get faster at it to a point. Better technique will get you faster. Better body conditioning will get you faster. There are things you can do to improve at it. I'm not sure how one would improve at the S2 specifically.

The test doesn't have questions as far as I understand it. I'd call them 'exercises.'

I agree with this. Also everything I see about it talks about percentiles. I don't think this is a numerically scored test. I think it's a how well have you done on the test compared to others type of thing. Basically if the best guy took .3 seconds to indentify the object or whatever and the worst guy took .7 seconds, well .3=100 and .7=0, until someone does even better or worse on that exercise. I can't say this for sure, but that is the impression I'm getting since it's scored as a percentile. I also don't think it's the be all end all. Just one peice of a puzzle. Would love to know more info, especially outliers good and bad. If they are trying to be scientific at all, they need to have it peer reviewed.
