Based off what i been watching he threw the ball a lot better in 2021 than 2022 to me. Last year the passes didnt have the same zip and velocity also hung in the air a lot almost to the point they look like ducks. Receivers having to slow down on routes and turnaround for catches a lot.  2021 he is consistently hitting guys in stride and not throwing his backfoot as much. Im just watching games and noticing a difference.

Interesting. CJ had a shoulder injury in the beginning of 21' but seems like that's not an issue. Bryce sprained his throwing shoulder in Oct of 22'. I wonder if he'd thrown at the combine if he would have looked noticeably weaker

This is my take from watching him almost exactly. Guy almost always know where he is on the field and what he needs and makes instantaneous decisions that are generally exactly what his team needs. People act like him holding the ball is a negative but he also delivers the ball from the pocket quickly pretty regularly and I'd rather my QB have shown the ability to extend plays when its needed rather than need to develop that in the NFL. That kind of ability is something I've found separates the good QBs from the ones we think of as Great. Things like that are what make the Burrows and Mahomes special.

Guy also seemed to always turn it on when needed even when he was having a bad game, The only game in his career that wasn't at least within a score at the conclusion was that National Title game where I'd argue he made the passes he needed to, just didn't go their way. I've seen him make up plenty of deficits and deliver countless times in the fourth quarter, he doesnt ever seem phased.

There is just something special about this guy and you can really feel it the more games you watch from him. He's going to be great. I'm sure there will be plenty of growing pains his rookie year as he has to learn how to take less chances and figure out what he can get away with in the NFL, but I'm confident he'll figure it out. He may not have the beautiful arm CJ has but he's going to be able to deliver the ball where it needs to go, and he's going to be able to do that in pressure scenarios consistently.

Both these guys had great teams around them, two of the best teams in the Nation, and they are both Great QBs. I just think Bryce has the qualities that can elevate him to an elite QB status that I dont see with CJ, who I think is going to be good to very good in the NFL.

The more of Young I watch, the more I see why he was the consensus No. 1 overall pick all year.  Felt like Stroud only got into the discussion because of size.

I like Stroud though.  I think he's going to be a solid QB with the potential to be great.  But something is special about Young.  He just gives me the vibes of a QB who, with the game on the line, can create special opportunities for your team that not many other QBs can.

I think a weird way to put it is I prefer Stroud, but am scared of passing on Young if that even makes sense….

Makes sense to me. I'm fine with either based on the positives of their tape. Of course it goes both ways though. Some folks who are wanting to drag Stroud really need him to be mediocre at best. If he balls out the comparisons will follow these guys that's just how it goes.

Young really struggled badly against GA in that championship game and his Oline protection was as porous as a sieve. Stroud played very well against GA and came very close to win it even with his bad plays he still managed to almost pull it off. 

This is an awful comparison and rules out the well known fact that this game is a team sport.

Georgia beat Stroud and Young, with a QB who doesn't even hold a candle to the two.

Stetson Bennett played in a system built perfectly around him. No gaps. No holes. 

You can't use this comparison for that reason alone.

Young beat GA when he had his full squad...

    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
