I see Mac Jones with a way better arm.. He is a throw back not much of a runner.. But hes big can add weight to his frame..

Out of all the QBS in this draft his video shows the most NFL throws.. Putting laser between 2 or 3 defenders, beating tight coverage, showing touch and different ball speeds, dropping dimes in a bucket. Plus he gets the ball out quick and makes good decisions when doing it... His arm shows it all.. I wouldn't be mad if we get a 2nd round pick and get him...

This is the progression you want to see when picking a QB.. Every year he get better.. That's The Parcell qb evaluation chart..

The big red flag with Strong is that he stares down his receivers and holds on to the ball way too long for not being a mobile QB.

He reminds me a lot of Jared Goff.

Out of all the top QB’s in the draft, he’s probably played the overall weakest schedule so it’ll be interesting to see how he does in the senior bowl.

Watching some of the vids, he did have a strong arm but he seems to be a one read QB starring down, not looking off his intended targets. He could probably be coached up though. 

Now is that a system thing and he's capable of actually doing it like Herbert, or is he just a one read panic guy like Darnold?

I'm personally pretty high on Strong (and Howell, but I don't think anyone in the area can be objective with him because he plays for UNC).

I think either way, if we manage to trade down and recoup a 2nd round pick, or god willing, another first from a team with multiple, we take OL then one of the QBs, let the QB sit for a year, then hire a decent coach in 2023.

Cam looked as if he still has a cannon when he over threw Robbie on a go route. That's not easy to do.

When you overthrow deep shots like that with QBs of a questionable arm, it’s because your arm is shot to a degree.  You can’t tell how much to put into a throw so you just put everything into it.  It was happening to Eli, Brees, a lot of others at the end.  
 

Regardless, Strong is an interesting prospect.  I’d still prefer stacking up on OL because if he came here he would not succeed.  I have a lot of sympathy for our rookies next year

there's a lot of high risk throws in that package. he has a fantastic arm, obviously, but whoever put this together didn't put in a lot of plays when he had to work through progressions. he threw a lot of guys open with deep balls. he seems good at timing throws, but to me it looks like he's sitting on one route and just putting the best ball he can in that direction instead of finding something higher percentage. that's going to get you a lot of attention from NFL safeties watching your eyes. he reminds me of jacob eason last year.

I'm not sure if it's a system thing or not but he has the physical intangibles, IF he has the mental, he can be taught...

    • Adam Thielen had 1000 yards with rookie Bryce. I guess he's using that as comparison. Just kidding. Calm down. 
    • We definitely improved from 2024 to 2025, to me the results were less important than the roster in that regard. It's better. It's still a very bad roster but continuing to be better is the goal. The changes we are talking about at QB are about spending LESS resources. Not picking up Bryce's 5th is a big potential savings. Significantly better QB's have been had in recent years for half or less than what Bryce will get in 2026. To say nothing of an extension(the ridiculous subject of this thread) which would cripple roster building by saddling it with a bloated QB contract for an awful QB. The price for Bryce, I mean who is even making that argument anymore? I don't think you are seeing anyone in this thread discussing trading up to #1 for Mendoza.  We are talking about cheap backup and FA QB's and Day 2 and 3 draft guys. That is literally tied to the idea of roster building. IMPROVE at QB while you build the roster so that we can actually potentially attract a franchise QB or when you make that big move up(SF for Lance) that your roster is so good that the impact is largely negated.  After all, improving over Bryce is an extremely low bar to hit. Let's not assume that standing pat would have resulted in a sudden spurge in good decision making. Don't forget who was making all those roster calls at the time. Bryce or not, we would have fuged it up in some way because we had idiots at the helm. We may still yet. Also, it's easy to say we can't get in the habit of switching QB's like that but there are also plenty of situations where that flip was the correct decision. Richardson to Jones, Rosen to Murray, Fields to Williams, Lance to Purdy(technically some nuance to this), etc. There is no real danger of Bryce leaving and suddenly becoming an elite QB. We all do know this, no matter how big of a Bryce stan you may be. His ceiling is middling game manager. So there isn't some crazy risk of moving on.
    • Honestly. You can see it on the field. Bryce will literally skip a pass on the ground rather than throw a contested catch to XL. Especially when it's one where XL would have to fight back to the ball. Coker is actually really good at that. Coker lacks real NFL speed (not a small thing), but he maxes out in most other categories.
