Well sounds like you're definitely firmly a believer. That's cool man. The major concern I have is Young's true playing weight. It clearly isn't 204. 190ish at best sounds likely and skipping the weigh in at his own pro day with all the questions about his frame is just weaksauce for a guy who could be the future first overall pick. And I'm just saying but when cringy folks like Ivory Panther who question how cerebral Stroud is are in your corner it's not cute. Check the people around you. Anywho enjoy the draft big guy!

I mean, you have Rip (whom I like, BTW) in your corner. Honestly, I don't have a corner. People think that Bryce is supposed to add fuel to the fire of people who already have their minds made up about his size as opposed to just showcasing the skills that actually got him into the position that he is in today? Come on, man. 

I haven't seen anyone question Stroud's intelligence (not saying that it didn't happen). What I have seen in this forum and from the scouting reports and other football types is that Bryce Young is extraordinary in his preparation and  understanding of the game, and particularly on a game by game basis. I don't know why anyone would not appreciate that praise. It's a strength, plain and simple. Obviously other QB prospects don't have that, or don't have it to the degree that Bryce does. That's not saying that they can't work towards that

Rip goes overboard with his favs that's just his routine here. My opinion is it just wasn't a good look with skipping the weigh in. Missed opportunity to put all those questions about his playing weight to bed. But what's done is done. Now how I feel about him personally is completely different from how I feel about his extreme fans. As far as Bryce Young the person he's got everything we could want I have no issues with him there great personality leadership ability studying the game all the boxes checked. In that regard Stroud checks those boxes for me as well despite some people for whatever reason (bias) trying to make him seem significantly inferior to Bryce in those areas. As I was before I remain of the position that I would be okay with Stroud Young or even AR if we just said fug it and risked it all. Though it would be a tough risk to accept. Levis? Ehhhhhhh.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
