Evidently I can because I would have thought someone who has “been watching football for a little over 50 years” would know better than to claim the floor for an extremely raw QB prospect with a losing college record and accuracy problems is a Pro Bowl QB before they even take a snap in the NFL but hey, thanks for letting me know that your wrongness is just rooted in a lot more information. 

If you say so.

Curious as to why he did not stay another year.

Because he's likely to be a high first round pick and make millions of dollars. Come back next year and not make a significant leap and it would significantly hurt his stock. Come back next year and suffer a significant injury and it might tank his stock. When millions of dollars are on the table, cash the check.

In my mind, it's Stroud or AR.  People hating on AR, and I've seen people insult him for his inaccuracy when the Josh Allen comparisons have been made, which is hilarious because Josh Allen threw like poo against weak ass competition...  AR had his issues playing as a first year starter on a not-what-it-used-to-be  Florida squad talent-wise, in a pro-style offense against the toughest opponents in the country, and if you nitpick his games against their lesser opponents, he still had all the other issues to deal with I already mentioned.  He has beautiful mechanics, ridiculous athleticism, and as many analysts have revealed in studying his tape, he made big strides in his processing and ability to read defenses as the year went on...  if we took him, the sky is the limit with our staff.  His weaknesses can be refined, his strengths can't be taught or learned.  That's a tough combination to beat.

I legit think it's a toss up between Stroud/Young/AR.

 

Those trade back rumors always made me suspicious we were looking at AR.

We didn't trade up to 1 to take AR15.  If we stay at 1 its Bryce or Stroud.

Not necessarily true. 

 

How do we know other teams were willing to trade back? 

 

For all we know Arizona might like Will Anderson at #3. Texans have no reason to trade back they also need a QB. Colts/Seahawks also need QB's.

 

Realistically the Bears were our only realistic trade up option. Trading up a few spots to get the 4th QB never made sense either.

He's by far the most talented and physically gifted qb in this draft and it's not even close actually. 

Most physically gifted, no doubt. Most talented, why would that be? Stroud is the most natural thrower. Young is processing like a vet. It feels like everyone says most talented when they mean most physically gifted.

My take away from this pro day is he has huge upside, huge arm, but man he was super lackluster in this drop backs and movements during the throws. I would expect some one fighting to be number 1 to locked in the whole way. A bit dissapointing in that regard. With that being said, I like him a lot,  I think we could definitely develop him, the question is, do want to lose 2 years a la Justin Fields and the Bears.

    • https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2024/06/bruins-hurricanes-could-swap-linus-ullmark-and-martin-necas.html The Boston Bruins are continuing to garner more and more interest for their former Vezina Trophy-winning goaltender Linus Ullmark, giving them a chance to be picky about the return. That could exclude much of the league from acquiring the star netminder, with Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman sharing on The Jeff Marek Show that he doesn’t believe teams like the Vancouver Canucks or Montreal Canadiens have the assets to acquire Ullmark. Friedman added that the Carolina Hurricanes could be one of the few teams rich enough for the deal, especially if they involve forward Martin Necas. https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/carolina-hurricanes Expect the Maple Leafs and Predators to be two of the top suitors for Hurricanes defenseman Brett Pesce if he hits the open market next month, The Fourth Period’s David Pagnotta reports.  
    • They do, just when. I hate to be pessimistic but it’s all about the QB. I can’t recall a QB situation where a bad QB (not bad stats, but looking like they don’t belong) turned a team around. Peyton Manning had a ridiculous amount of interceptions but he didn’t show his future limitations. Usually, it was picking another QB in the draft. Unfortunately, IMHO, we won’t be really better until we get our Cam v2, someone who can carry the team and not win only if we have a stud lineup around him. That’s why I’m more interested in how the rest of the draft picks do to see if we can actually solve holes like the ones we created losing Olsen, CMC, Moore, Turner/Kalil/Norwell, etc. I want to actually be one QB away not Fitterer’s definition of one player away.
    • I will say once you have been in newer arenas and stadiums with their way better bathroom set-ups, it is such a massive improvement. It clears up a lot of insane lines just waiting around to piss.  I have taken to not drinking at all at older stadiums just so I don't have to deal with planning when to take a piss and what part of the game I am gonna be forced to miss because of it. It's so nice to be in a new arena/stadium with way better bathroom accessibility that doesn't force you to literally miss the game. Not to mention I will actually spend money on booze there then.
