Fanbase Temperature Gauge: Who do you like and who do you want? (3/21/23)

[Ricky Spanish]

Seeing a lot of back and forth and some bickering about who is better and who we should draft all over the place, mainly between Stroud and Young. Wanted to get a poll up about a month before the draft and before the pro days so we can gauge where the fanbase stands in terms of which QB they like best, and which one they want to draft. Might do a part two right before the draft to see if things have changed (A lot can change in a month).

If you have strong convictions one way or the other, please provide supporting arguments.

Sent this to my son and said "Man I just don't know. but this is where I am at 10:54 on 3/21. Will likely flip flop by 11:00."  (Picked Bryce and Stroud)

I think both are equally good overall just in different ways. I like Stroud's pros a bit more than Young's pros and a bit more concerned about Young's cons than Stroud's but both have a pretty equal number of pros/cons in my opinion. So I do slightly prefer us drafting CJ and voted for that however I really am good with either, will be every bit as excited if we choose Young as I would've if we chose CJ. Both are legit 15+ year franchise QB prospects and I think we're well positioned for either one of them to have success here.

its Young, no need to debate anymore

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

I want Stroud

Would be fine with Young

Avoid Mayo Coffee and Black Te.bow like the plague

Ultimately I think they take Young until Charlie Campbell says otherwise

I think Stroud is the better NFL prospect because size is a skill and the Draft is about projection. I'd argue Young is the better College QB. 

I'd like them to draft Richardson - just because that would mean they've seen something in the mouldable lump of clay with the highest upside and they're going for broke with their experienced QB staff / Dalton ready to take the reigns early. I think they draft Stroud. 

[Mr. Scot]

If I'm making the pick, it's Stroud. There are certainly things about him that concern me, but I think he's the best overall choice.

I could live with Young. He's everything I would typically want in a quarterback, but his size scares me.

Levis and Richardson both strike me as physical specimens that you'd have to teach the quarterback position to, and I'm not a fan of that model.

Ultimately I'll trust whatever the staff decides, but Stroud would make that easier.

I've been flitting back and forth between the two since back in November when I started paying attention to this years draft class, and in the same vein I've wanted us to take either depending how I feel that day.

I honestly don't think I'll know which one I actually want until draft night and the name is read out and I'm either excited or somewhat disappointed 

[frankw]

Stroud but would accept Young. Both could end up being great. But likely one will be more than the other. Tough call. But for me I'd say go with the better passer in what is now a passing league heavily dependent on the position.

[rayzor]

honestly i'm excited about the idea of both of them and i can't wait to see who it is...i just hope it's one of them.

my head tells me that CJ is just slightly ahead and would be the more secure candidate (even though it's barely ahead of Young...imo), but i think that Young would be more exciting to watch (again, just barely more exciting because he's like watching a video game).

[Billy Goat]

I'd say Young is the better prospect. His height doesn't scare me more than his weight. If I thought he'd be around 210lb come September I would pick him without question over Stroud. If I was picking today I would take Stroud because he's the safer choice all things considered.

[Mr. Scot]

A lot of times when there are a couple of highly regarded quarterbacks available in the draft, one of the top ones ends up being a total bust. Then afterward you hear people saying things like "How did we not see it?"

If that happens with one of the top two in this draft, I hope it's the one we didn't pick.

[Lurk21]

At work but it's Stroud with conviction!!

[tecc86]

Young or Stroud, Im honestly fine with both.

I think Stroud has the higher floor, Young has the higher ceiling
