He's basically saying Stroud isn't good enough for the NFL yet.

Pauline is a pretty well known draft analyst, but this isn't a widely held opinion.

Oh yeah most college QBs aren’t. There is usually several weeks or longer of learning and still a lot of growing pains their rookie years.

Granted, but they have to meet a certain threshold to be ready for that, especially to be worthy of a first round pick.

Pauline is the only guy I've seen saying Stroud doesn't meet that standard.

Since the advent of social media, I feel like there has been way more group think on QB prospects. Not talking about Pauline here, but people that think of themselves as "experts" latch on to a take and stick with it and don't change their opinions. Everybody and their mother said the 2021 class was "can't miss" and they've been extremely underwhelming so far.

Credit to Pauline here for having a different take. I don't want anything to do with Stroud. I don't think he can lead a franchise. He was horrible when it counted yesterday. The Big Ten was horrendous this year and it is fair to question if he can operate without insanely elite WR's and adjust to what open windows are in the NFL.

I like Bryce the best, but the frame really concerns me. Not a fan of this QB class overall though.

I think if your top 5 there are lot of options, take your edge and you can always trade back in for a Levi's/Richardson or take a Penix/Duggan in the second. I think what Stroud really lacks is that leadership quality that you get no doubt from a Young/Levis/Penix/Duggan.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
