Sell me Justin Fields vs CJ Stroud

He struggled against several teams. Including Indiana and Northwestern. He won against them, but questions about Fields began then. He did slap Clemson around. Then struggled against the superior team in bama.

To be fair, that massive hit to Field’s  rib cage in the Clemson game probably helped that ‘struggling’ against Bama 

I have no idea how Fields got up from that hit.  Adrenaline and youth

I would sit tight at #9 and see who fell. 

Young is the best QB in this Draft, but he's tiny so you can't bet the farm on him. 

There wasn't a franchise QB in the 2022 Draft - there might not have even been a good starter. 

If you had the top pick which QB are you taking?

I would take any of the top 4 QBs in this draft, I just wouldn't sell the farm to get him.  Reich could do wonders with any of them.   If you give everything up to get him the chances of putting quality players around him diminish quite a bit.

We have 4 picks in the top 100.   If one fell to us at #9 you have 3 more picks to fill in good young players to grow around him. 

And there were two QBs in this year's NCAA championship game that are available in this year's draft. Both could be available late second day or even the third day. Take a flier on one of them and let everyone else go crazy over a, well, lackluster and overhyped QB class.

Grab DE, TE, WR, DB, LB first. Build the team, then find the guy.

And I'm not so sure that the best QB available to us this coming season is someone who needs to be drafted.

Who dismissed his film?

He's never won the big game and he play on a STACKED team with multiple first round picks at WR. It's a huge concern - beyond anything you see on film about his ability to progress through his reads and his unwillingness to scramble.

The touch Stroud has on his passes and the anticipation he is able to throw his passes with sets him far apart from Fields as a passer.  I don't think there is a better QB in this draft that can throw the intermediate passes, particularly the out and corner routes, than Stroud. I still remember that Utah bowl game last year and the throws he made in that game were very impressive. Yes, his WRs have been elite the past 2 years, but he was still throwing dimes to his receivers and releasing the ball right as his receivers were making their cuts.

So you would spend a top 10 pick on one of these QBs that you firmly believe aren't franchise QBs?

People forget that.

 

this time last year coming off that game was he was the next big thing and would’ve been a top 3 pick in Last years draft if eligible

    • Micron just announced it is leaving the consumer market and Crucial as of February 26 will be no more. While Samsung and SK Hynix are guaranteeing most of its supply to business contracts for AI companies, leaving a tiny supply for its consumer markets. Combined with Micron those three companies make up 96% of the world's Dram supply with almost none of it going to consumers.  It's so bad that Samsung Mobile is having issues getting supply from Samsung DX which is causing internal issues and will lead to a shortage of phones and higher prices in February.  AMD announced a 10% price hike across its product line going forward as of today.   GPU's will go up here shortly, ram has already doubled this year and it will keep going up. Storage has seen a smaller increase but a bigger one is coming for it as the next generation of AI cards are being built that require a ton of HBM on the boards.  Rumors that both AMD and Nvidia will eliminate lower tier GPU's for the next generation if not sooner.  So the end isn't in site and it will totally affect next generation consoles, the PC building and prebuilt markets and everything in-between including cellphones.  Pretty much seeing the end of the main stream gaming industry end before your eyes right now.    Storage pricing doubling to tripling over the next year to two.  Consoles starting at 699.99/799.99 and up for what you would've spent 400 on just a few years ago.   An entry level PC build starting in the 3k range considering the new reality for ram, storage and GPU costs.  The cost to entry will be too high for most consumers after this shift is finished in 2028 and that's if a consumer market even exists by then. 
    • You know who else had a high completion %? Teddy 2 Gloves. He could check down with the best of them.  I'm one of those people that watches and analyzes a lot, my brain does it by default, and it's something that I fully expect our scouts and FO to do religiously. Football is a sport I enjoy, and I actually watch footwork more than most. It drives my wife nuts, especially with our local hockey team. I can tell within a few games usually if a goalie is going to make it or not just by watching their feet. That's why I said stats give you a direction. They help show you where to look. They're a tool. As long as you realize that they're a tool to be used, not relied upon for absolute certainty. I trust my eyes too. And I trust what I'm seeing. 3 years in, and Bryce's footwork and mechanics look almost identical to his rookie season and Alabama. Every time I see that jump pass I want to scream. Or when he squares up to the line of scrimmage to throw a pass instead of stepping into it to drive a throw. He does seem to have some sort of clutch gene, but he also has a WTF gene that rears its ugly head too.
