I think all 3 have the ability to pan out, but it really matter WHERE they land.  I honestly think we are one of the better places for an early selected QB to land because....

1) We were a 500 team once we fired Rhule and we traded UP for the top pick meaning we are a good step above the bottom teams.  

2) We have a young solid OL to protect our rookie QB

3) We have a former QB offensive minded HC plus our staff in all in on supporting our QB

4) We have a talented DC with some talented players to work with on defense so we won't have to lean on our rookie QB too much

5) We should have a strong running game with Sanders and Chuba behind that power running OL

For example I think any of the 3 have a lot better shot at becoming special if they are picked by us at 1 vs Houston at 2

I think we're the situation all 3 QBs would want to be in - at least in the short term, and hopefully in 2-3 years time they're good enough to influence the situation around them like a franchise QB should. 

As I've said, I think Richardson is the potential superstar of the group. Young I think will either bust (purely due to his size) or have a middling NFL career and Stroud... there's something about his game I don't like that I can't quite put his finger on, but if you hook him up with a HC / OC that spells it out for him he can get the ball where it needs to go every down (like Goff in Detroit / L.A.).

AR has a good head on those shoulders and he deserves to be drafted in top 3.

The main thing hurting him is that Florida was never going to give him what he needed, so he left for the draft before he could put it all together. But the kid has it all. As a QB coach, I would be champing at the bit to coach him.

I'm betting there are a few coaches in the building doing just that.

These coaches have to feel like they are more than qualified to make this kid a star. But patience doesn't seem to be a quality Tepper is embracing right now. Don't get me wrong, I love Bryce. I think he will have a great career. But AR is a unicorn. If all of that talent gets harnessed he could do things we maybe have never seen or won't see again for some time. This draft is fascinating because of these two guys and the mystique of what their careers can/will be.

Same. 
 

I want BY, and believe he’ll be special. I feel the same for AR. He wants it, and I believe he’s going to do whatever it takes to get it.

Agreed. I hope the team that drafts him has his best interests at heart instead of making him a gimmicky weapon. He's a quarterback.

Well look at it like this. There are 2 anomalies in this draft, Bryce Young and Anthony Richardson.  One is the smallest qb to ever suit up in the nfl. There other is a man child the likes of which we've never seen.  The little guy has 3 years of development on the man child. The big guy is un-molded clay needing an Allstar coaching staff to mold. The little guy has mostly been molded by someone else. Where do you go?

With Bryce, not much actual coaching to do, more playbook stuff. And the playbook will be limited. When it works great, certain teams will have the defense to shut him down and theres really not too many options to counter. Anthony, you have to respect the run and the deep ball every snap, if he can read defenses and improve his accuracy he's the next Allen. I can see why a coach would be higher on him as something to mold

      I just mean it’s always offsetting in that situation.  I didn’t realize they called another penalty

      And as I asked this again before, what goes into PFF's man open %, as I know you've brought that stat up before. Is that just the number of routes he gets open at any point during the route, or is it calculated on targets and if he was open when the ball got to him. Because like I pointed out so many times in the lead up to the draft, a big reason it was harder for him to get separation against man was because he not only had his man on him, but he was double or triple teamed on the majority of his routes this past year.  Just because of that alone, it was easier for him to get open against zone coverage where he could find holes and sit in them. Also, again, as been discussed so many times, his QB's play this year was awful, and lots of times his contested catches were due to him not delivering the ball on time when T-Mac got open.  Or just times he got open but wasn't targeted for whatever reason. So just using that stat as a way to say he struggles to get open against man is more likely than not, disingenuous. Hell, it's a PFF stat that you're using against him, yet at the same time, PFF absolutely loves him, he was their 4th overall player.   I posted this clip on here a week or so ago of the T-Mac vs Hunter game in 2023, where the anti T-Mac guys like to say Hunter shut him down.  But numerous times in this video you see T-Mac create tons of separation from Hunter but the ball wasn't thrown his way, plus a clear PI that wasn't called (and the one that was). https://x.com/4MR_Fetti/status/1918262063660454227 The "he can't separate" narrative is way overblown and become something more myth than reality.  No, he's not an elite separator like some of the quick twitch WRs, but he's so much better than the haters here like to say.
