Jason La Canfora is a joke.

I think it triggered a lot of people on here to jump to conclusions.  Tepper was humbled by the whole Rhule experience IMO and has hired guys that know what they are doing for a reason.  If they draft Young over Stroud it will not be simply because Tepper likes Young even though many will push that narrative.

To me, the most telling comment was when Fitterer said the following:  “Nothing’s too big for him. Like, he can walk into any environment and be in total control. At 21 years old, if I walked into a restaurant, sat around with a bunch of 40, 50-year-old men, it’d be a little intimidating. Instead, he just sat there and asked us questions. We asked him questions. . . . Just a really, really solid person.”  Fitterer also said, "(the way he sees the game) he's at a different level.  He's already at that NFL level..."

In other words, this 21-year old kid can lead veterans. In the non-Madden, real world, the locker room is important, especially for a QB.  He can see the field (process--play point guard) and he is ready to start day 1.  Ultimately, this is Fitterer's decision.  The owner likes Young, some of the coaches prefer Young.  (I am not sure that Reich has a favorite, but I would lean Stroud). 
These comments, if not smokescreen, describe qualities where Young surpasses Stroud.  If all true, Young is the pick.  However, the head coach and QB coach prefer Stroud, then there will be debate.

I think he’s just running with Reich likes Stroud bc he’s always had bigger QBs. He doesn’t know who Reich actually prefers. I don’t think he truly knows who any of them like most. 

He has always had bigger QBs and the results have been mixed.  As a former QB, would he be more impressed with the size of the QB or the leadership and processing speed?  I am asking--I dunno.  I can say that if you spent time with Young, you have to like and admire the guy.  Or did he walk out thinking, "There are middle school QBs bigger than Young?"

From everything I’ve heard from Reich about what he looks for in a QB, elite processing sounds like it’s close to the top along with playmaking ability. Measurables were downplayed by him. I guess we’ll find out soon, but I think there’s a good chance it’s Young.

Nah, dude. Choosing a coach and choosing a QB is not the same. 

Tepper was a new owner still feeling around to find his way. More experienced owners were trying to hire Rhule. Let's just be thankful that Tepper has learned from his mistakes and that the Rhule era is over

I still would ask Tepper who he likes and pick the opposite.   

I still don't trust him.

      How many Qbs can you name better than Bryce Young?

      By strato · Posted

      I usually don’t get attached in that way to player issues. I mostly observe. Not gonna go into Cam and Jake because this is going to be long enough already.  I just was so against taking him because I looked at him pre draft - since it was made into such a major crossroads for the team with that trade. I could see right away it was a horrible mistake once Inlooked at his video. And couldn’t believe that pro people overlooked that stuff. Just unbelievable. Still is.  But even pre draft, and certainly post draft and camp… every time I said “hmm, have you guys seen this with his arm, with his footwork, the tippy toe drop back with the square to the line stuff, it all adds time to the play and how is that gonna work against actual NFL defenders? The margins are already so slim even for people with great arms etc etc” I was met with torrents of scorn and ‘processor” and ‘SEC is the NFL’ and everything else they were fed. People wouldn’t open their eyes they just were always telling me to find another team blah blah, idiot, all kinds of hateful poo. While I am being called the hater lol.  That made it bigger than him for me. Way bigger. But, I and all the naysayers have already been proven right. He was not worth the trade or his draft position. That is in the books. Now it is new goalposts. Can he even be salvaged? Was it worth building this offense around him just to save face over the investment? Is he worth the 5th year? The 4th year even? That is what is in doubt now.

      Could have been worse than a 1 goal deficit
