McCown has already been scouting QBs

Takeaways

  • Young's processing and decision making is elite. Composure under pressure and ability to scramble out of it is very encouraging in light of the size concerns
  • Thinks the gap between Young and Stroud is not as wide as advertised. Highest floor of the top QBs
  • Levis has an elite cannon that keeps defenses honest. Reads well but questionable decision making.

Thank you for that summary

In a perfect world, the Bears stay put, HOU takes Young/Levis, and we trade with AZ to land Stroud. 

But...I just don't see the Bears staying put.   They don't have pick 32 (Claypool) and there's so many needs on defense and on offense around Fields.  I also don't see some huge tier difference between Anderson/Carter and the other DLs.  

If we want our guy, we almost HAVE to trade with Chicago to land him given their likelihood of moving down. 

The big wildcard I don't see mentioned much is the Raiders at 7.  If they don't land Rodgers, which is plausible, I don't see them wanting one of these FAs after enduring Carr for a decade.  

So let's say the Raiders trade to 1, the draft goes Stroud/Young 1/2, then what?  I'm definitely not trading with AZ for Levis or AR. 

This is going to be a really fun season of chess with who actually likes who QB wise.

This was my biggest take away from the Levis video. He was all giddy about Stroud and Young but for Levis all he could do was describe his physique.  

That is really what you hear from scouts about him. Great physical skills. Second best in this class behind Richardson. But.....the tape doesn't match that.

I just wonder how much can be fixed with good coaching.

That's something I'd like to see.....from a distance....on another team.

And he's older than the vast majority of draft prospects. I'd feel differently about him if he was a redshirt sophomore but this guy shouldn't be so raw at this stage.

If Stroud is seen to be on the level of Burrow by Mccown, then you have to go get him. 
 

Agreed. I'd take Young without any hesitation. I'd be ok with and would even be excited about him depending on who was coaching him. 

But I think Stroud is who I'm really hoping for. No one has me as excited as Cam did coming out of college, but that GA game is having the same kind of solidifying effect on me that Cam's Iron Bowl game did.

Mccowns video has really pushed me towards Stroud even more.

    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.      
    • I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
