If we draft a QB, I want Carson Strong

Early 2nd round on the BUCS. Keep betting on those 5'11" QBs. It's a big boy position. Prototypes exist for a reason.

Why don't you rattle off all the 6-3+ busts in the NFL?

Ability matters not height. This isn't the mid-80's.

We could save the draft pick and just sign Jacob Eason.  That's who Strong reminds me of as a prospect.

Carson is showing that he has the mental aspects necessary to be great in the NFL. The more I look into the kid the more I like him.

That arm IS a huge bonus that makes him worthy of being the first QB picked, along with youth.

Didnt you say that Kyle Trask was the best qb prospect in the 2021 class?

Or am I thinking of another poster

He doesn't look any less mobile than Mac Jones.

Personally, I prefer someone who can get the ball out quick and accurate over someone who can run around and buy time scrambling. IMO, that is what separates great qb's from decent to good.  Of course, a qb who can do both would be even better.    

Well, Corral is about as accurate as they come. Just saying. He also gets the ball out quickly.

If we want accuracy just wait for McCall next draft.

I am a huge Strong fan, after reading about him.

I would take him in the 2nd, those of you talking about he can not run …. Did Brady run? Did Roethlisberger run? Not every QB needs to run …. Look at his accuracy, I take accuracy anytime over running.

but if you ask me ….. NO QB THIS YEAR …. Give me OL

If this was 1986 I might agree. Strong is basically a really poor man's Drew Bledsoe. I think a statue like that gets smashed in today's NFL.

It's pretty clear the fans who only remember a washed up old version of Big Ben.

Yeah, its not just that he is immobile its he is already hurt and immobile.  I think after the combine this kid is going to drop like a rock.  Between his not playing under center, his riskiness with the ball, his crazy immobility I just dont see the combine as a place where he shoots up draft boards especially if there is a bad medical on his knee

Big ben was Cam before cam.  Not as fast but definitely engaged in contact in the early years

I like him in the second round. Aka trade down with the Commies and take an LT first QB second.

Jones is like run of the mill immobile. Strong is like Byron Leftwich getting carried by his OL to the next LOS at Marshall immobile.

You mean the entire last decade? Because it’s been that long since he could move enough to avoid a pass rush. Brady, Manning(s), Rivers, Ryan, Flacco and Brees all seemed to do fine without running around before they threw the ball.
