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. 

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

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.  

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

Hooker came out of nowhere for Tennessee.  I love his game but we'll see how it translates to the NFL.  

With that said, I never thought that Jalen Hurts would make but I was wrong.  Even the best NFL scouts sometimes get it wrong.  

Are you saying that you're an NFL scout? Just asking. 🙂

Nothing is.  I think Stroud is going to be a very good NFL quarterback.  I'm 56 and I've never said that about any Ohio State QB in my 40+ years as a fan.  

Almost 56 myself...

Spent a couple years living in Hebron/Heath while working in Columbus. I know how y'all are 😄

Sorry, I meant to say that I presume that you are a Georgia fan, right?

I hope you continue to chime in-my wife is from Ashland Ohio and her brother and family live in Columbus--I go there every year.  He is a chiropractor in "Lewis Center" (I think) and an OSU alumnus.  Good people up there-

I am not only a Georgia fan, but a Georgia alum,---for all the good it's done me, but that's another issue (Georgia can't help that I turned into a largely free spirited Bohemian).

Awesome to hear--I think character and integrity matter.  Some on this board would want Jack the Ripper if he could throw it 80 yards. 
I was watching some you tube film on him, and I would love more end zone angles, but he seems to process very quickly.  Ball placement is everything.  first, it increases the likelihood the ball will be caught and decreases the likelihood it will be intercepted.  More importantly, it leads to runs after the catch--and I know the Buckeye WRs are the best, but they are on their horses a lot.

Its definitely Stroud.   All of our guys were there to watch Stroud throw and it seemed like hours after that the rumors got cranked up that we loved Stroud and wanted to trade up.  Could that change, maybe, but I would bet just about anything that we are drafting him.  Just makes too much sense giving all the smoke signals.

I'll be 56 this year also. That you say this means something. I would've only said that about Stafford (and I would've been right).

Though, I won't say it about Stetson Bennett (I can't take anything away from him). I think he's worth getting drafted.

I'm not gonna lie, I was about 60-40 Young before I saw Stroud almost crash the Bulldog's coronation as the preeminent football program in the country. I was like damn. Don't get me wrong, I thought that Georgia's defense was just off, but Stroud did his thing. I was like maybe 55-45. Then Stroud showed out at the Combine, which is indicative to me as a continuation of a rising-to-the-occasion---coming out at the right time. As a result I may just be about 50-50 now (maybe even 45-55 at times). But, at the end of the day, I'll be happy to draft either.

I'm a Buckeye fanatic.  Sadly for me, I never became a fan of an NFL team.  I love the NFL but just never became attached to a team.  

I used to have to work in Columbus on game days sometimes. It was interesting 😄

Back when Chris Spielman was doing an annual mock draft, I served as the Panthers GM a couple of times.

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
