  1. Russ is not a realistic comparison. One he was always a threat with his legs. Two he had a horseshoe up his ass for a number of years. Three he won one Super Bowl where the defense and Marshawn did a ton of heavy lifting and where Peyton Manning put on the worst passing performance in a SB I've ever seen. If anything his decline the last several years should scare anyone away from drafting a QB even shorter than him at #1 overall.
  2. If we're excluding drafting a QB at 1 based on how they react to being pressured we probably wouldn't have even traded up in the first place. And to Young's under pressure numbers how many of those plays did he drop back several steps and dance around the pocket for 5 seconds plus? That's not happening in the NFL.
  3. Don't worry. The refs will protect him from those big mean scary dlinemen.
  4. Sounds like JT loves him some Bryce Young. Someone please inform him just as Stroud will not be bringing MH JR with him to the NFL Young will not be bringing Nick Saban and going up against prestigious opponents such as Utah State ULM Vanderbilt Mississippi State Austin Peay and Kansas State.
  5. You can say you don't care and size doesn't matter but the 17 game season disagrees with you. Wasn't every QB on our roster banged up in one way or another at some point last season? Newsflash. You dickriding this man isn't going to stop defenders from ruining his life. I imagine defensive coordinators in particular will be eager to put this all to the test. If they targeted Cam you think they'll be afraid to go after the smallest starting QB in the league?
  6. Stroud's accuracy and overall body of work within the pocket on top of his ideal size still holds the edge to me. I'd accept either BY or AR but to me both are big risks. It's fine to think Young will go on to become one of the GOAT's and the ultimate outlier for his size over the last half century but we have to address the odds. He's as much of a risk as Richardson for different reasons.
  7. 98% of the quarterbacks voted MVP over the last 50 years were 6'2 and up. Russell Wilson isn't a good enough reason to pass on Stroud sorry.
  8. You know the refs aren't going to step in and stop a huge dlineman from landing on him right? Whomever we pick is going to get hit. Possibly more than average depending on the health and depth of our OL. That's another layer btw. Some folks seem to think our OL is set and already one of the best. That's not the case.
  9. No silver at all? I'm conflicted... Just don't let Nike ruin it with another Jaguars fiasco please
  10. Against UL Monroe. Oof. Give me the QB who gets the ball out quick and accurate.
  11. He was in the voting before but didn't win. He was Super Bowl MVP however.
  12. Has there ever been a 5'10 QB as an MVP? Looking now. Not seeing it. Shortest I'm seeing is 6'2 until I get to Fran Tankerton at 6 foot even back in 1975. Edit: Actually Joe Theismann in 1983 was 6 foot as well. Still over 40 years ago. Now Bryce could certainly become the lone outlier and the Steph Curry Michael Jordan or whichever fairy tale we can come up with to cling to. But the odds are extremely low. That's just reality. If we pick him though I will support and hope all this comes to fruition.
  13. I really do think Stroud could end up a top 10 or more QB with his accuracy if he's fit to the right staff. It's legit kinda crazy some people don't want that after all these years of inaccurate passers even including Cam who was sometimes streaky.
