If they "love" him then why sit back and take a gamble?  Especially when most the arrows are pointing to Young going 1 now?

Are the arrows a smoke screen or are we really taking him?

Would you hear if he had been unimpressive? lol

No, but you wouldn’t be hearing anything at all if he didn’t.

Is pulling a Giants not an option on the table? IE Draft Young, dangle him out in front of Houston and say "Whatchya gonna gimmie for him?" and trade if the compensation is right?

Feel like it’s been real and has been ramping consistently for a few weeks, but it would be pretty cool if we were that good at smokescreens.

I think we are taking him unless Houston offers something stupid for him.

You DO realize Tua is thicker and heavier than Stroud right?  
guessing you are wanting Richardson at 1?

and Tua’s injuries are head injuries, which size has no impact on.  Just ask Michael Oher and Luke.

Didn't he also need ankle surgery, and dislocate his damn hip?

Yeah, it's clearly a smoke screen at this point to tempt the Texans to trade for the pick.

Literally no reason to release this news if you're the Panthers. Kunkel is just acting as a mouthpiece.

This is why we should not have moved up. Neither guy is going to provide the value you expect at the top of the heap. 
 

I mean, if they are having issues with Stroud? Then they moved up to take a point guard/qb without the arm strength, without experience under center, that has to go way back in that gun to throw 30 yards downfield, he needs a running start to get something on it. 
You’re gonna see. 

I bet the the defense in the NFC S are licking their chops. 

 

LMAO what are you even talking about?  None of that is true about BYs arm strength.  You're acting like hes got some kinda Jimmy Clausen noodle arm.

This smokescreen crap needs to stop.

Go get Bryce Young and be done with it.
 

Stop trying to get cute for an extra draft pick

[SOJA]

Alright I'm starting to change my tune. I actually believe they like Young. 

Which again, I'm totally fine with. I have Stroud as 1a and Young as 1b. There are a ton of things to like about Young and I think he has a chance to be special if he can stay on the field. 

[ncfan]

We’ll pick him at 1 and people will still be claiming smokescreen until the 3rd team is on the clock

I think they should sit all the Stroud supporters on the south side, and all the Young supporters on the north side.  The endzones are for AR and Levis fans--and all undecided fans.

Then give out black and blue water balloons.  Below, Mr. Completely demonstrates the concept:

I like the way you are thinking outside the box here. LOL

That’s exactly why I think people who think the trade is realistic is living in a alternative universe.  No team is trading the farm to move up 1 spot.  
Chicago traded like a a 3rd rd pick to move from 3 to 2.  And we have people in our fan base thinking we can get a top 15 pick And MORE, from them to move 1 spot. 

Except the Chicago example is apples to oranges

Drawing a blank on who made that swap with Chicago, but they were never taking a QB there, it was either keep the pick for a different position or trade it to someone else.

This is 2 teams both openly knowing taking QB's, for Houston to make a swap, they'd have to pay up for that reason.  So comparing it to the Chicago example is just not even in the same stratosphere.
