Essentially if Young kept getting a little thicker over the years like they did, he might reach the weight those guys were at coming into the league, that's not insignificant.

this is the point i was making. he’ll add good weight, not just water weight, as his body matures through his 20s. he should have no problem getting to 200ish. he won’t be 220, but i think he’ll be big enough so that his superior mental aspects will separate him.

You didn’t watch him throw. Clearly. 
 

The poster was misleading with his description of Bryce’s throws. A couple were outright drops and two others hit the roof. That equates to Bryce struggled with the deep ball?? lol no and do better 

It really comes down to a precision passer versus someone who can improvise. I get that Stroud didn't leave the pocket much but he didn't have to. When he did against UGA he ended up throwing two touchdowns.

10 years ago, Young is a 3rd or 4th round pick. I think he's still worth that range, personally. Stroud is just a dude who could drop a needle into a thimble from 40 yards away.

Superior to whom? Have you watched Stroud play? Have you seen Josh's breakdown of Stroud's tape? Their mental processing is nearly equal and Stroud is a pinpoint passer. He makes those Pro Day throws in live games, over and over and over.

Give me Stroud over Young and even give me Levis over Young. Levis is going to be that guy who drops but ends up being really good. You can mark that down.

So you want him to eventually get to where guys like Brees and Wilson were at when they were rookies, and you think that's going to be big enough for him to hold up physically for a 12-15 year career?!?!?!

NO CHANCE

And that's my point, his frame is so small, he doesn't have wide shoulders or hips to where he could easily add enough weight that he just fills out his frame, like those other guys did.  He has a slim frame, you can only add so much "good weight" to a frame like that, and I don't think it will be enough for the long term.

I don't want to draft a QB for the next 5 years, I want to draft one for the next 15 years.

    • Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
