The "they may not pick CJ Stroud or Bryce Young!" talk very much reminds me of this

If I remember correctly (may have been different around these parts)...Locker was a distant third but many were definitely touting Gabbert. 

Then there were a handful thinking Dareus or Peterson were possible options and we could just get Kaep or Dalton in R2.  

I remember some people not wanting to draft a QB and us keep Clausen because no  QB was worth a 1st overall in their eyes, also they were Clausen fans.

There was heavy opposition against Cam being the pick with some feeling he would be another flop like Jamarcus Russle. The only when Cam started to get support as being our pick is when we got close to the draft, and it was looking clear that we were going to take him. Then Huddlers slowly and begrudging started to say positive thing and support the idea. Even so, the Huddle was so full of venom against Cam the the powers that be had to ban the use of certain words. You were not allowed to say "Sir Cameron Newton: Leader of Men, Lover of Puppies...Esquire" on the Huddle, and LAPTOP was also banned I think.

Oh the ban is still in place! I tried to type S-C-A-M Newton and it replaced it with "Sir Cameron Newton: Leader of Men, Lover of Puppies...Esquire" LOL

Just to give you newer fans an idea of what the Huddle was like in the old days. We had multiple words banned, and Cam threads were locked and deleted daily. It was madness.

edit: lol it lives.  Any time Tim T3bow successfully tied his shoes we had fifty "Now that Tim T3bow that's a real leader of men right there, I'd let him marry my daughter, I'd trust him with my life unlike some quarterbacks who played on rival SEC teams and stole laptops and needs to study his playbook" threads on the main forum

lol i used to be a bog standard "play it safe and build the team up" poster back in the day. i wanted marcell dareus 1st overall and andy dalton in the second

Same, wanted Dareus or AJ Green and to bring in Billy Volek or let Matt Moore have another shot as the starter.  poo I think I would have even been willing to accept Patrick Peterson. 

I was just crushed after Andrew Luck decided to back to Stanford and only started to warm up to Cam after I saw that workout he did before the draft.  The possibility of having a dynamic, athletic quarterback that could stress out defenses as opposed to the Jake Delhomme type of QB we had had since forever was intriguing.

Also reminds me of people 2 years ago thinking the Niners traded up for fuging Mac Jones, lol. Lance sucks too but at least he had potential as a top 3 pick. CJ or Bryce is guaranteed, probably CJ.
