I wanted Fields but honestly any young QB would be screwed here. But then again they're screwed in Chicago too, so...

😂

Yeah that's my issue. On a pure player level I'd take him over Mac Jones/Corral/paying Baker $30M a year, I don't like any QB's in the draft next year etc...

Yeah I'll pass.  I want to see an OSU QB work out before I take one.

But what if that one OSU QB that works out will be the only one that works out for a long time? Look at Herbert and Oregon. Name me another successful QB that came from Oregon.

I didn't want Fields because I don't like drafting Ohio State QB's.  I'm not superstitious, but I am a little stitious.

I think that’s why a lot of people are skeptical of Stroud but in my opinion, they are two completely different people.

Stroud has elite accuracy while having a lightning fast release and when he scrambles he keeps his eyes downfield. His arm talent is also ridiculous, some of the windows that he can fit the ball into are insane. I think his game will translate to the NFL because he does everything at an insane pace.

Fields made the comment about the NFL being too slow for him but in reality I think it’s too fast. He doesn’t process the game quick enough in my opinion and his release is subpar.

Fields just seems like an average QB to me as where Stroud seems like he could be a legit Justin Herbert type of player. I’d like to see Stroud use his legs more but OSU might be telling him to stay in the pocket, similar to what Oregon told Herbert.

I will say if we get a new coach and GM and select Stroud I won't be upset.  I'm just saying I'd be worried about the bust potential is all.  I like Bryce Young more, but I don't know poo about who's going to be good. I thought Herbert was a guaranteed bust.

If we get a new coach + either Bryce or Stroud going into next year, my excitement level is through the roof. That would bring some fire back to Charlotte.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
