Maybe. Maybe they draft Young and Houston really wanted Young so they trade down and we can get Stroud. Far fetched, I know. Even in that case, I’d probably rather Richardson or Levis than spending #9 on Fields. I didn’t like him in that draft and he hasn’t shown any improvement since, whether that’s the fault of the team around him or not the point remains he hasn’t shown he can be a good passer. He might have had stats in college but he didn’t pass the eye test, he didn’t read the field and he didn’t throw with anticipation or particularly good accuracy. All he showed was that he could throw it in the vicinity of his receivers. Need more than that in the NFL. That’s why I’m so high on Stroud, he did show all those things in college. Reading the field, ball placement, anticipation.

I’ve watched him some in the NFL, and I watched him at OSU extensively. Wasn’t overly impressed then, nothing has changed that. Not judging him til he gets some weapons is a fair idea, however I don’t want to risk the cost to get him when he has two years of tape and still unable to make a judgement. If he was a FA? Sure. But I’d MUCH rather go hard after Stroud, who in the same situation at OSU looked MUCH better.

Great hire. Tepper handed Reich a bunch of blank checks and said “go get everyone you want” lol.

First reaction is nah. Would have to do more in-depth research to find out what I’d think of it though, go and watch all his throws. I haven’t seen anything impressive outside of his legs so far, though.

Sure. 42.

Eh it happens. I do really like Stroud, and if we were given the option of taking any of the listed QBs at the same price, the only ones I’d take Stroud over would be Young or Tua, just because the others have actually proven it. But in a stakes free guessing game, I think Stroud will be the best of them.

Who did that? First thing I said was there’s no way to know for now, but if I’m projecting based on what knowledge we do have, I like him better than the others on the list. Didn’t say anything about HoF bound, no one on that list is yet. Only youngish QB in the NFL that can say that is Mahommes.

Well, it’s a team game. Burrow didn’t beat anyone. The Bengals might be the only team to beat the Chiefs and Bulls in the playoffs, but that doesn’t mean Allen isn’t a better QB. And I’d only say he’s very slightly better. Burrow has a lot more help than Allen does.

No one has anything solid to back up any such projections. I’m just thinking of how they each looked in college and how I thought that would translate to the NFL. For example, I was very high on Josh Allen when he was in the draft but we didn’t need a QB at that time. Stroud has shown far more than any of these guys did in college except maybe Burrow, and Stroud still has the advantage over Burrow in the touch and accuracy.

if I’m projecting out a couple years, I’d put Stroud between Burrow and Herbert and Young between Jackson and Hurts. If I’m projecting full career, Stroud at the top, Young between Herbert and Jackson

Not including the guys that haven’t even played in the league, there’s absolutely no way to tell yet. Allen Burrow Herbert Jackson Hurts Tua Lawrence

It’s also shown that they’re almost always wrong. The only legit one I can remember was Josh Rosen.

It was because of Ron we were consistently mediocre.

With as weak as the south is right now I think if we nail the QB choice we’ll have six wins easy there and should be able to get 4+ outside the division. We’re on the ascent while the other three teams are on the way down. Even with poor coaching and mediocre QB play at best we were really close to winning the South last year and 4-2 in the division. Shoulda been 5-1 if not for refs not understanding what the field of play is.

The way Bradberry had his arm around him and grabbed him made it look worse than it was. I don’t think he affected the receiver at all and it was a bad call, but it wasn’t nearly as egregious as many calls in this game and previous super bowls

Wow what a lame throw to end the game

That was absolutely a BS call. It’s still just one for the Chiefs and a lot more for the Eagles. More critical moment of the game though. Reinforces my belief that refs shouldn’t be on the field, just one to announce calls but a group of people in a booth watching video of every angle.

Nope. They’d go 500 today and be the most penalized team in the league

Yea, when you get a QB like Mahommes paired with a genius like Reid, magic happens.

Yea, I mean rings are one thing, it’s a team game. If I’m taking either at the start of their career I’m taking Mahommes every time. He’s just incredible.

Yea if the OL is close enough to immediately take the head off a DB, it’s an illegal man downfield unless the play was at the LoS…lotta little things like that going one way tonight.

Yea, I watched for the back foot when they mentioned it and it was indeed down. Good call and upholding

I know I’m in the minority on this but I’d rather stop the game every other play if it means getting the calls right. Nothing is worse to me than games decided by stripes rather than the players. I enjoy the competition of it, I wanna see the best team win not the team that gets the calls their way. We need more technology taking the game out of the refs hands as much as possible, and refs in the booths when necessary rather than old guys on the field trying to see everything at ground zero

Looked good live, but with the replay that’s not a catch either

That’s an acceptable overturn, it was really quick. Did look like a catch but it was a quick hit
