allow me to be skeptical of Stroud because I think his tape looked mighty… mid tier qb.

Lol.

Stroud shredded the #1 defense in the nation (Georgia) for 348 yards and 4 TD'S in Georgia's back yard.  

Sounds like a completely unbiased perspective (kidding--Buckeye Homer) I have been afraid of OSU qbs because they always seem to struggle in the NFL--but this one seems different.  I am all in on him--no homo-poker reference--damn, that does not sound right either.

Stroud had the highest QB rating in CFB last year.

That's really not surprising considering schemes, competition and the talent of his receivers.

That's a compelling argument, until you think about the fact that Bryce beat a better Georgia defense in 2021 during their first matchup.

The SEC isn't the NFL.

I think Young's style of play is great in CFB but not so much for the NFL. Young will have to rely more on his arm in the NFL and that's why Stroud is the better pick.  Stroud is a prototype NFL QB and he will be your QB.

You don't trade up for a QB who is short and doesn't have a strong arm. Let's not be silly. We traded up for CJ.

Everyone says that Richardson is the risk reward prospect. I honestly think it's Young, size is his risk, but if he stays healthy, man watch out.

That was before Ryan Day.  Urban Meyer called Day the best offensive coordinator he ever had.  Day is a QB coach by trade.  He's the head coach but, make no mistake, he's also the QB coach.  He recruits, coaches, and develops QB'S to play in the NFL.  I'm excited to watch Stroud lead your offense.  You're going to be impressed with Stroud's ridiculous ability to drop balls into precise locations.

I was simply responding to the claim that Stroud only put up good numbers against lesser competition.

Stroud's receivers got open and Stroud delivered the ball to them.  If your receivers get open, Stroud will get the ball to them too.  It's not complicated. 

[Buckeye Homer]

On another note regarding Stroud, he is very humble, very Christian, and has tremendous character.  

His one weakness is that he's not much of a runner.  As a ball distributor he's lights out.

That's true. That's why I loved Hooker's response to a question about him playing in Tennessee's scheme.

No guarantee of that at the NFL level

I don't care about running. Get the ball to the playmakers.
