They’re really trying their best to get the Texans to think they’re taking Young in hopes of a trade by getting Shefter involved 

Yep

[ForJimmy]

People keep bringing up Young’s SEC competition. Aside from UGA (who Stroud played) which team had an elite defense that he played? LSU’s defense wasn’t what it normally was, Ole Miss was an offensive team, Auburn was a shell of itself? I know several BIG10 schools were ranked on the top 10 defenses when Stroud played them. Stroud WRs are a much better arguing point than his competition.

I don't see it happening.

What are your thoughts on Caleb Williams?

What is his height/weight?

That's an odd quote from schefter since sf didn't ultimately take Mac Jones.  I'm not sure I completely understand his point.

He's saying it's a smoke screen. He seems to think that Mac Jones would be the pick that the staff wants but something changes and they end up taking Richardson, or Stroud (I hope).

Big difference between 5'10 and 205 when you've been lifting hard for four months to get to that weight and 6'1 210 playing weight. Caleb Williams also runs a 4.5 and has elite arm strength. Young's arm won't blow you away, Caleb Williams has the arm of a 6'5 QB in a 6'1 body.

Sorry for the off topic - does anyone know why when I click on “Start new topic” and scroll through options, the only one I can actually click on is “Nfl”. The rest are greyed out. I’d like to post some relevant statistics to our new qb feud.

I honestly haven't followed him that much, but if he is taking a bunch of hits (I know he got injured last year), he will need to adjust his playing style as well.  People like to reference Mahomes, well yeah that backyard football style translating to the NFL is as likely as AR becoming the next Josh Allen.  Also Mahomes has mastered extending plays without taking as many hits.  He loves to tip top the sidelines and step out of bounds before contact.  That's the main advice Rodgers gave Burrow during his sophomore year.  "learn to slide, and don't take so many hits."  

The good news is Young is probably the smartest QB in the draft and will put in the hours to adjust his style (at least I hope so).  They all will have adjustments to make as rookies.

It’s hard to describe intangibles sometimes. I view Young as savvy to a degree that will be above average his first year. He seems to also have that same sense as Mahomes to avoid the direct blows. He’s far more elusive than Stroud. I predict Stroud will take more direct hits that could lead to injury than Young.

They're trying to use Bryce Young. Stop the foolishness and move on with the #1, stop the f'n games which benefit NOBODY.

There is only one player THIS draft that qualifies for a jump from #9 to #1.

It's Stroud. Stop the smokescreens, leaks, stalling, staring down, they're not going to blink.

They're waiting for you to proclaim what everyone knows already ITS STROUD, stop playing games and celebrate, get to know him and let us freaking rest on teh huddle you cheeky card hiding, fooler of nobody.

There's nothing wrong with being honest and deliberate instead of cloak and dagger, fooling only ones self and wasting our f'n time and doing gymnastics on our nerves.

I could see Stroud taking hits due too his lack of mobility vs Young.  I think Stroud (at least in college) tends to get the ball out quick.  He is more prone to throw it away vs running around extending it trying to make a play.  Young has been doing more or as much with less talent at WR than Stroud, that alone may help him have more success early that Stroud will.  They are both two great options so either way I'm good.

Agreed. Either way I’m good as well.
