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.

Interesting that the Opening Post Chart  (though a small sample of the fanbase) showed that most fans voting,myself included, would rather have C.J. Stroud.

No idea if this a good or bad problem to have. Brain is telling me Young won't hold up, red flags galore about size.

Stroud feels like the safer pick, Youngs ceiling is so much higher. If you truly think he survive an NFL season you have to take him.

I find it ironic that the guys that want Young have never played professional football (Tepper/Fitt) while the ones that want Stroud understand just how much of beating your body will take being a starting QB. Just some food for thought.

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.

I just analyze the top QBs selected in pick 1 to 12 in 2000 to 2022. More often than not its the 2nd qb selected that ends up being a bust vs how often the first selected qb is a bust 

12 out of 19 years (in 3  particular  years no qbs were taken in top 12 picks), the top QB was not a bust.

Young could be so incredibly good, but I just see Robert Griffin III getting killed out there and his career on the field just melting away so quickly.

Stroud is bigger, stouter and can make all the throws. Is he mobile enough? Maybe. If not that is his big weakness and we won't really know until his protection breaks down.

Both have massive upsides but a single chink in their armors.

Third pick would be Hendon. He can do this and he can lead a team. Just that injury is pretty worrisome. He would have had time to heal up, though, as we could run with Dalton for a game or two if needed. Had we stayed at #9 pick I'd have really wanted to see him get snagged by us.

As to Richardson and Levis, I agree wholeheartedly with @Mr. Scotthat I really don't like QB candidates that still need to be taught how to play QB. I think both are more hype and hope that reality at this moment.

Totally misread the poll.

I'm conflicted.  I think highly of both.  I'm leaning towards CJ Stroud though.  I feel like the floor with him is so high.  However I do think Young's elite playmaking ability could put him over the top in the NFL.

Personally as of right now I'm hoping we draft Stroud.

Young doesn't play RG3's game. RG3 was a runner who didn't protect himself and could really only make one read  at a time. 

Young is a QB first but can scramble to extend plays, he doesn't actively look to run, think more Russell Wilson. 

Young however might explode in the pocket if Myles Garret hits him because he is a skinny boy.

    • okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.  
    • Jackie, any more reps tomorrow, or is that it for this session?  thanks for the work
    • How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
