Bryce Young Pro Day

Young's bullshit with hiding his weight is a red flag to me. Shows up at the combine at 204 but won't work out, then weeks later refuses to weigh again at his pro day. If you lost the weight, just be honest about it. we already saw you sit next to 5'9'' Steve Smith and look like his young child, refusing to divulge your weight isn't tricking anybody into thinking you're big, it just makes you look shady.

You can cut a lot of water weight which has it's own safety issues as evidenced by bodybuilding, boxing, MMA, wrestling, etc. However ADDING 15 pounds of "water weight." That’s genuinely very ridiculous. You would probably die from water poisoning first.

to me, the interactions today at Alabama seemed more like a family affair--based on what I saw in pictures and on the SEC Network.  Did not see as much from Columbus.

I watched David Tepper and he seemed into it more at Bama.  Saban came over to chat with them--he is such a detailed perfectionist.  Tepper seemed to be interested.  Family--that is what it might come down to...

You left off Tepper's wife. We know she's the one really in charge of the team.😮

This is what scares the poo out of me. I’m fine with whoever we choose as long as it’s Reich and Fitterer making the decision. I hope the Tepper’s “input” is nothing more than them listening to the real football people.

Too embarrassed more like it.

We can't go wrong with either selection. Let the guys that get paid to know this stuff make the call. 

There's advantages and disadvantages to both prospects. I'm a CJ7 guy and if the organization called me while on the clock that highly anticipated Thursday night in April asking for me to break the tie, I would take Stroud.

That being said, I would love Bryce here for the next decade as well.

Pro-days are the only thing less indicative of a prospect than the combine...and I LOVE watching both.

Don't want to say it but hard not to agree.

I'm not worried about it at all. There's nothing I can do to change it if it's true. Be a Bird Duck GIF and let the water roll off your back.

Absolutely, you don't think so?

Every standard plastic water bottle is approximately 1 lbs of added weight.

You don't think he could chug 10 of them in the 20 minutes before being weighed in, and that would be on top of him adding weight in the days leading into that day as well.

Sure he'd feel bloated as hell and would piss like a racehorse afterwards, but that weighing in was the most important thing he can do to help his draft status, he would have been able to do it without any problem.

After the Rhule fiasco, which she was not involved with from appearances, we should applaud her with her involvement this time   Things seem a lot better 

frankly, it’s good she is as if anything happens to ole Dave, guess what, she’s the sole owner

    • Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.  
    • Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO. 
    • Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
