So we're taking QB advice from this guy now?

I like Foreman but.... Get this done.

Meh could do better could do worse. Just nail the draft and get this offense some weapons.

Considering his market value and our offensive needs it's a no brainer to bring him back. I don't think it will be much longer.

Addition by subtraction.

If Levis is the pick this place will burn. It will be entertaining. I'm used to being disappointed with this franchise so I would have the brief moments of rage and then just hope for the best. Others here might take hostages idk.

I'd have to disagree about him being a safe pick. The biggest thing Darnold had going for him was his physical ability his arm talent was and is still exactly what you want in any franchise QB. Beyond that he was boom or bust as a passer. He compares more to Levis if we are drawing parallels between 2018 and 2023. As far as Stroud seeing ghosts if you could please provide me with some examples or game tape I would appreciate that.

Right Darnold had the "wtf" plays even in college if you watch his tape it's all there. And he regressed in his second season at USC. Stroud isn't without his flaws no prospect is but 40+ scores and 6 picks in both seasons with 69% completion average he has the chops we seek. I see OP is pro Anthony Richardson. I misjudged so for that I apologize. It's between Stroud Young and AR there's no other discussion. I'm on board with the safe pick in Stroud or Richardson. Richardson as the pick would definitely ruffle feathers here but his abilities are worth the gamble and someone will assuredly take him in the first. Just my opinion but based on his history I get the feeling Reich is highly likely feeling the same way.

Generally I agree with many of your posts but a Darnold Stroud comp is egregious breh. And I'm taking a shot in the dark and guessing you're pro Bryce.

How do you mean? Like instant Mahomes and Super Bowl runs or something? I've seen one or two folks with extreme expectations but most seem to be pretty realistic. Myself I'm looking at the offense post CMC and Moore trades and I'm not overly optimistic in the short term. There's still plenty of offseason left but it's going to take us another year or two to get where we need to be built around our new QB1. But I feel very good about Stroud's abilities translating to the NFL. And in the off chance he isn't the pick I'd rather shoot for the stars and take Richardson than hope Young goes on to become one of very few outliers for his size at the position or take a risk on Levis in a trade down.

Typically when a new staff enters the picture they don't keep around the previous regimes QB unless he's a bona-fide star. He's still recovering from injury so that hurts his already lowered value thanks to Matt Rhule. It sucks but that's how it goes in the NFL.

I'm a Corral skeptic now unfortunately but even I have to acknowledge he's only played one preseason game under Matt Rhule against a Ron Rivera coached team looking to send us a message. Simms can be hit and miss but using this against him so early is silly.

Well that's gonna upset some folks lol

That's a very solid deal I'm pleasantly surprised.

Thank goodness it's finally over. Goodbye and good luck Sam

Logical choice. Kicker nowadays is much more of a revolving door for many teams.

If we could agree both QB's are good at what they do and neither are playing "easy mode" we could have a productive discussion. The biggest question with the number one pick is durability as in which one will still be playing ten plus years from now.

Well the defense is certainly coming along nicely. What are we leaving for offense? Kinda got some holes to fill.

If it wasn't you I'll retract and own the mistake but I do recall seeing a post of someone saying something along those lines within the last week. Like I've been vocal of my concern with Young's size but I haven't denied his talent as a QB. But you seem to be doing that with Stroud. How is Stroud playing on easy but Bryce Young and every other Alabama QB playing under Nick Saban isn't? Be consistent.

Weren't you the one calling Stroud OSU trash? You are the complete opposite of objective bub

Of course but OP is very pro Bryce Young. It's like asking the Ohio St fan here about Stroud.

Totally NOT biased thread right?

Oh boy. The Young fans are about to pile in and they will not be pleased. I'll go ahead and get it out of the way too. But Doug Flutie but Drew Brees but Russell Wilson. There.
