It's Stroud and it shouldn't even be close

[Burnout189]

I'm honestly just excited we have a coaching staff who, seem, to know what players they want and how to integrate those players into their system.

fuging Rhule was anathema to that whole process.

Panthers are a team with so many unknowns in what they do or will not do. That is what is so frustrating about them.

Oh great, another "IT SHOULD BE THE GUY I LIKE AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS STUPID" thread.

Just wait until they hear the selection. If it's not my qb this franchise is the dumbest ever.

I think there are plenty of examples of QBs (Flutie, Brees, Wilson, etc.) who have shown resilience and longevity.

Doug Flutie lol. I love the desperation to defend his height. Always amusing.

It’s more about being a proponent of his skill.

And Flutie played 20 years of pro football (12 in NFL) at 5’10, 180. That was the point.

Oh I like his skill. There are some small knocks of his work within the pocket to consider though that others have noted in one of the hundred threads about this recently. But why must he always be compared to current or future hall of famers to distract from his biggest con? They both just have potential at this point. But Stroud has the edge based on the full picture.

Stroud has the edge on size alone

If you truly think he only has the edge on size I think you are engaging in some self deception but that's cool.

And let's be real. Doug Flutie was drafted on 1985. If you are stretching all the way back almost 40 years ago to find an example that's not a good sign.

That’s back when QBs could be rag dolled without a flag. Not the case now. 
 

I think Stroud may have a slight edge in accuracy within the pocket. It’s close though.

Oh don't get me started on officiating now I still can't believe how night and day it is compared to how refs just let anything go when Cam was still in his prime. While that is a factor bare in mind the refs aren't going to physically dive in front of Young as some sort of human shield and prevent a 300 pound lineman from landing on him. Stroud has the accuracy edge I think that should be a foregone conclusion at this point.

If we pick Richardson over Stroud, that will be the worst decision in franchise history

Young will have to put on 15-20 pounds.

I think 10-15 is reasonable and could be achieved over his rookie season. He weighs 204 now.
