I get what you are saying but what makes people think Stroud isn’t as good at processing and progressions? I’ve seen him drop back and go through his reads on the regular while putting up great numbers.

I’ve asked the same question. How do we know that Stroud isn’t close to Young when it comes to processing? It seems to be an assumption based on nothing.

I know I’m in the minority here but I’m not sure either are worthy of the #1 overall pick. Stroud and young are the the top QB,s in this draft, but are they worthy of that pick.

Kind of you to sacrifice yourself to unite the two separate camps here.

I'm with a lot of the group. I think both are good picks and have the potential to be franchise quarterbacks. I think Stroud is the safer pick because of his size, especially long term. Young could end up being the better of the two but I think he also has the most chance of durability issues.

I'd be happy with either, but lean toward Stroud. And we won't know the best answer for several years.

Stroud is going to be Dak Prescott, Kirk Cousins, Matt Stafford etc. You'll have to surround him with a ton of talent and then maybe, maybe you will compete for a championship. During a 10 year career maybe one or two years will have enough talent on the team to compete. To be honest I think that is the worst case scenario for a team to be in. Who wants to the the Dallas Cowboys or the Minnesota Vikings of the last 5 years? Who wants to be the Lions of the last ten years? What is the point?

Maybe Young can't stay healthy. Maybe he is too small. But he has the higher ceiling. He processes the game faster than any college QB I've ever seen. He can make every throw. I want Michael Jordan not Paul Pierce.

I feel like it’s being used a lot for Young to compensate for his size, but I really don’t see it as a weakness for Stroud. He finds his open WR.

This is funny because those 3 QB's are nothing alike.

 

Are you drunk bro?

 I'm speaking of each of thoses QBs inability to lift lesser talent when it matters the most. I could play WR for the Chiefs and Mahomes could make me look competent. Dak, Kirk and Stafford have all had to be carried by superior talent, and it still hasnt been enough to get them over the hump. You don't want to be stuck with that type of QB for 10 years. Its a waste of everybodys time. Go big (or small in this case) or go home.

Agree. If Young were 6’3” he would be clear #1 overall and CHICAGO would have never traded down.

Its so funny, Michael Jordan fell in the draft because he was "only" 6'6 and 6'6 guys didn't dominate the league like the 7 footers at the time. Steph Curry was considered small and too skinny. Dolphins chose an ancient Daunte Culpepper over Brees because of durability issues lol. We've literally seen hundreds of 6'3, 6'4, 6'5, 6'6 QBS absolutely suck in the NFL, but the one guy that doesn't fit the mold is a "risk". The nature of the game is CHANGING folks. Its virtually illegal to hit the QB. This isn't 1973. If your QB can extend plays, improvise make throws and move the chains you have a valid chance to win a superbowl year in and year out. If he can not you do not. Its that simple. Doesn't matter if he is 5'4 or 6'10.

One of those QB's have a SB. You can say that about pretty much any QB in the league besides Mahomes. The elite QB's have weapons for the most part.

 

The only elite QB without talent around him on offense right now is Lamar Jackson. You need talent around you to win in this league no matter what.

Yeah Stafford won a SB on a team Youtubers put together on Madden. That roster was a complete outlier which is my point. You'd have to surround him with absurd talent to have a chance. What about the other decade of his career in Detroit? He also had the most dominant WR in history based on height/weight and what does the city of Detroit have to show for it? Jack squat.

Which QB has the most potential to be the next Pat Mahomes is what every team should be asking. If he doesn't have Pat Mahomes potential there is no point in drafting him, you are going to LOSE either way. Bryce Young has Mahomes potential. Strouds ceiling is a very good QB. We'll be going home in the divisional round year after year.

I know what you are saying--but hear me out--in part, I agree with every word.  David Carr, Mark Sanchez, Sam Darnold, Blaine Gabbart, EJ Manual, Blake Bortles, etc. all had the size and the tools.  The real question was processing speed--they all seemed to struggle to go through their progressions and make a timely, accurate throw.  We know we have a QB who can do that in Young.  Do we in Stroud?  I would say there is a strong chance he can do it, just to a slightly lesser degree (or he was never asked to do it as Young was).  We know Young's size and his processing speed, for the most part--what we need to know is about Stroud.  If Stroud can come close to equalling Young, you take him.

I guess the great thing some good fb minds are gonna do some serious evaluating with both and weigh all the positives and negatives. Both had phenomenal stats and come from top notch programs.  We'll see!

For the love of... Michael Jordan comp and a Steph Curry comp within one post!? Not even the pro Stroud or AR supporters are going this far.

    • I had started typing my post hours ago and didn’t finish it and just came back to finish it, posted it, then saw yours and saw we were pretty much saying the same thing - even the games that stick out to us most.  I don’t think a lot of people remember that SF playoff game, but I felt like I had just got mugged in broad daylight.  I remember them calling Mitchell for unnecessary roughness, and then I remember watching Boldin take a super late cheap shot, dead in front of the ref and then showing him watching the whole thing in replay…  the refs let them have a fuging field day and didn’t do jack poo, but if we so much as breathed the wrong way it was fuging 15 yards.  Each team playing under two completely different sets of rules.  poo hurt.  I was enraged.  I’ve never went back to watch either that game or SB50 and never will.  fuging robbery.
    • I’ve said it a million times since, but it’s impossible to keep them from affecting the game.  In SB50, they literally took the game from us, and they did it early.  Cotchery’s no-catch?  The miraculous amount of times we converted for a first down only to have it suddenly called back make it a 3rd down and 15+ against the best defense in the league that specialized in rushing the passer and man coverage on the back end?  And you do that enough times, you kill the morale and confidence of the team you’re doing it against.  It’s telling the one team “you can do whatever with impunity” and the other “you can’t do whatever they’re allowed to do.”  It changes the aggression level.  It essentially neuters one team and allows the other to do whatever the fug they want.  Imagine you call the police for help and they get there and tell you to sit still while the other party beats the poo out of you and you can’t defend yourself.  That’s what the officials do.  There is no way to avoid them affecting the game.  And more often than not, it’s the most subjective calls they use to do so.  Even in SB50…  you saw the Broncos commit more egregious penalties than anything we did, and barely any of it was called.  Their OL was holding all fuging game and the refs did nothing.  We already had our work cut out for us against two future HOF edge rushers and the refs played to their advantage with that.  From what I remember, both Oher and Remmers were called for holding at various times and their hands were in the INSIDE of the defender.  It was garbage, but all by design. Also, if there is any video of it anywhere, go look at what the refs did against us back in 2013 against SF.  The fix was in there too.  They stepped in early and often and ensured we knew we were not allowed to play with the same aggression or intensity SF was.  It was disgusting as well. at this point, I hope Vince McMahon, errr, I mean Goodell just finally scripts us to win it, because this poo is not won via competition or off merit.
    • You can go back to the New York Knicks somehow getting Patrick Ewing.  I saw a story where they place the New York Knick card in the freezer right before the drawing.  It was simple.  Show everyone the cards are undetectable to the human eye.  All they had to do was grab the coldest card. IMO ever since Goodell took over the NFL it has been fishy.  Patriots winning the SB after 9/11, New Orleans after Katrina and Peyton Manning's going away gift against us. The terrible calls during that game were blatantly one sided.  New England should have been stripped of their first 3 SB when they were caught spying on the other team in their SB wins.  I think the evidence against the Patriots was so damning Goodell felt it could ruin football and they brushed it under the table.   In the 2004 SB, How did we go from practically no yards in the first Quarter to setting a record in the 3rd Qtr.  Dan Henning changes the game plan.  IMO probably the greatest half time adjustment of all time.
