Something interesting caught my eye last night and I might be reading too much into this but this was from the introductory press conference for Thomas Brown

From the Thomas Brown Presser regarding what he looks for in a QB:

“A really good one,” he said with asmile. “I think it’s a lot of guys that kinda come in all shapes and sizes. But to me, it’s an ongoing conversation. We had some great dialogue the last couple days. It’s about who fits into this system, but also having a point guard mentality. Being able to distribute the ball to your playmakers and on third down, red zone, two-minute, go play Superman.”

Now, I went back and watched Josh McCown's analysis on Bryce Young and here is just a small clip on his skill set:

Now, again, maybe reading too much into this but the fact that Brown mentioning that he wants a QB with a point guard mentality and McCown (who is now the QB coach with Carolina) saying Bryce Young is a point guard and then factor in the intangibles Brown wants... Just seems to scream Young.

Not my ideal choice, considering his size but I can't deny that he is a really good QB... The draft can't get here soon enough.

It's probably a stretch, just a common sports metaphor.

That said, I don't know basketball so I can't say I get this one.

It basically just means we'd prefer a QB who isn't just a facilitator but a guy who can make things happen on his own if necessary. We had a guy like that once. It feels like such a long, long time ago now.

That's the way I read it.  Our staff is looking for a guy who can get it to his teammates on schedule, or make something happen when the play breaks down.  A modern franchise QB.

Not sure that's really a surprising statement honestly.  It's kinda what every team is looking for, but Mahomes, Herbert, Allen, Hurts . . . those guys don't pop up very often.

Carr definitely isn’t the QB they are looking for. 

A statue in the pocket and takes a ton or sacks and fumbles a lot. 
If the play breaks down he just scrambles but not to extend the play but to throw the ball away. 
Also he may have good stats but they don’t tell the story of him throwing terrible INTs in a crucial game. He can have a lot of brain fart moments. 
 

TLDR: Carr doesn't fit this staff or team.

Well if it's Bryce Young they're after we're definitely trading up.

I also thought it was interesting that he mentioned QBs coming in "all shapes and sizes." Seems to indicate Young as well.

Sounds crazy now, but I could see Bryce Young falling.  It wouldn't be the first time a projected No. 1 pick fell.  I'm not saying he will, just wouldn't surprise me.  Really depends on how old-school of a mindset exists with the teams picking ahead of us.

At 9 we don't have our choice of QBs. We will take what's there or move up the draft

I agree, but I have wondered if Young will drop due to his size--lots can happen, but I still think we'd have to be at #3 or #4 to get him.  I am hoping Levis is not there when we pick, and I am thinking that only Richardson will be there.

If you want to know how brilliant this is, read the post that followed it.  Uncanny jeanyus on this board.  posted at the same time

      If they lose the last three......

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!

      Inappropriate relationship with a team staffer, followed up with some stalking behavior, and ultimately a felony home invasion charge from a visit at her apartment that culminated in him threatening her life and his as well.
