How do you feel about CJ Stroud

I’ll admit I was very skeptical of Herbert. He has definitely proved me wrong. 

It was the lead up up to the draft when I had more time to check out his games from that season where I was finally comfortable saying let’s pick him. I can’t be mad at our organization though as he went one spot in front of us and we scouted him more than anyone. Not happy about Fields and if Stroud is there I would hope he is the pick.

I believe he has the most single reads in the NCAA or close to it.

My brother is a diehard OSU fan and says he plays scared and is nowhere near what Fields was. 
 

From what I can tell, he just fits really well into Ryan Day’s system. Nothing about him really pops out at me.

post 1!

Ryan Day's system is interesting.  He changes a ton year to year based on the talent available, all about creating for the strengths of the players so it naturally handicaps every guy on the team.

Stroud does play a bit timid at times, you can sense his nerves but statistically, he's been fine, if not quite good under pressure.  Michigan is going to be a huge test.  Excited to see.

Yeah gotta see him against Michigan and whatever bowl/playoff games. They really didn't play anyone this year aside from Notre Dame and Penn St. I ultimately would want to see how he would respond against Georgias Defense.

Kyle Allen to start for Texans this week.

I guess they've seen of enough of Davis Mills

Texans are definitely going qb 

Kyle Allen has definitely found his role in the league and I’m here for it. Still the QB CMC produced the most with to date. Would’ve loved if he was just kept as our bridge QB some years ago. He’s in essence what we’ve endured since (honestly, better than). Doesn’t make him good but he’s got that role figured out.

If your first read is open though that’s where you are supposed to go. I remember when folks punished Justin Herbert for this a few years ago but that’s the offense he played in. The one-read college assessment doesn’t worry me much. Arm strength, mechanics, touch and leadership matter more to me than the offense somebody is in.

We discussed him and decided he is a 5th rounder at best

 

I thought he was much better than that other guy folks like. But hey, I'm not going to cry, but man, I would love him in the 2nd.

Watt about the other kid from that other school?

 

Nah, he is definitely a 5th. Sorry.

Yeah I mean he has about to win Heisman with his stats, which means the first read is usually the right one…

I'd have to talk myself into liking him if we draft him - based off the few games I've seen him play so far. 

Yeah he's good at throwing a football but I worry about that pocket presence and scrambling ability when he's facing NFL pressure and his WR's aren't wide open

    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it. 
    • If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
