So who is better, Stroud or Young?


Randolph Panther

I have to ask, what is the fascination with these two Qbs?  Shoot, Qbs coming from Ohio State should be entirely out of the question at this point.  As for the Alabama QB, meh meh.  The names should be Levis, Hooker, and in a trade back scenario, Anthony Richardson.  Really at number one overall, Levis is the only guy I would personally consider.  Yet again I can't stress this enough, any name coming out of OSU, that should almost be anathema at this point!!!

Stroud, Hooker, Levis and Richardson all have NFL bodies.

Young has an NBA body

Agree with Mathias that OSU produces program guys that are not usually successful in the NFL

Hooker is very intriguing, not sure if he has all the passes in his bag of tricks, but throws a great deep ball.

Levis is running a lot due to a poor OL, heard that anywhere lately?  But seems to be scrappy and has played hurt some this year.

Richardson I agree would be a trade back option

Levis has terrible decision making, despite being in a QB friendly offense. Hendon Hooker runs Huepel's offense that relies on 1 on 1s, wide receiver splits and takes advantage of the college hashes. Anthony Richardson is the most up and down QB in the entire country.

You also scout the player, not the helmet.

The overall history tells us we scout the helmet if it's OSU.

Young.

Stroud has the size advantage.  But I haven’t seen Stroud take the hits.  Haven’t seen him take command, read the defense, change it up and command the offense. 
If Young had the Weapons Stroud has been throwing to.   It wouldn’t be fair.  Stroud has been throwing to one of arguably the best WR core in CFB history.  Good player though.

Just he isn’t reading the defense’s the same way, avoiding pressure the same way, standing in and setting his feet throwing dots while being hit the same way.

Stroud took a beating from UM last year and our 2 1st round talent DE's.. He still made pin point passes and plays.. While maneuvering in a crowed pocket..

Wait what?? Young haven't had weapons?? Are you serious??

Stroud has had

the number 10 and 11 overall pick

the guy who set the RoseBowl record and a top 15 pick this year.

and none of those are even the best WR, that’d be Marvin Harrison Jr which is looking to be a Megatron/Julio level prospect.

Young has had 1 1st rd level WR and that was Williams who didn’t make it the whole season.

 

Stroud took hits in the Michigan game, but no where near what Young went though Saturday

The same thing was said about Texas Tech QBs in the air raid offense until Mahomes was drafted. I was not a fan of Fields but Stroud is a much better prospect than him. He can run too they just don't need to have him do that at OSU.

Just hire Shane Steichen as HC and let him pick the Qb he wants. Maybe he thinks Matt Corrals is better than all of them?

Also ppl mentioned trade high pick for Lamar Jackson but you have to remember that you have to pay a chunk for his contract and no more cap to build around him vs the rookie contract.

I'm in the see it to believe it camp.  If Stroud becomes a good NFL QB, he may be the first significant one coming from that school.  I wouldn't risk a first overall pick on those odds.  The only thing that would break my line of thinking with this, was if Stroud was a consensus every 10 years generational type cat.

    • LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.  Mock drafts 
    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
