I realized how easily fans get brainwashed by media.  I bet if media promoted CJ like they promoted Young, most folks on here would be screaming for CJ.  Now, some folks are tripping on dopamine and turning into assholes.

I don’t care who we pick and will support them.  Young weaknesses definitely concerns me with his average arm and tiny size.  Those who say it’s not a concern are not thinking straight.

Well the media has been driving the Stroud hype train since the Georgia game lol, which I’m sure has contributed to why so many on here and other places have been so high on Stroud. 
 

I get being concerned with the arm strength but I also think Bryce has the potential to develop and grow into his body on a NFL strength and conditioning plan which could help his arm get stronger too. I don’t think he’ll be his current size for the rest of his life, the dude is only 21.

He's not a Cam or Mahomes or Allen and never will be but he's got enough arm strength to keep defenses honest (unlike guys like Mac Jones, Kenny Pickett) and as much as a Brady or Burrow. Different ways to skin a cat. Would I love a do it all guy with elite arm strength too, absolutely. I've long slightly preferred Stroud for various reasons, arm strength being one of them as I think he has that potential to be more of a do it all guy like a Mahomes. But Bryce can absolutely become an elite QB with his accuracy and processing. His arm strength won't hinder him in the NFL it just won't ever be a strength on its own. Which is fine.

We hope. I'd be lying if I said I was certain about it though. I think Burrow's arm is quite a bit better. Young's reliance on winding up and stepping in concerns me.

Burrows ball placement on deep throws is off the charts.   

His and Mahomes' ability to throw on the move is just unreal. Those two guys can seemingly throw the same all running, falling away, whatever as they can standing in a clean pocket. It's a big part of their game and what makes them elite. Mahomes clearly has the bigger arm, but they share that same off platform ability.

    • From another guy on another forum regarding BTT rate. Pats fan without a dog in the fight  “No. It’s not deep balls - it’s passes that gain a lot of yards.  In terms of completed air yards (total ball travel through the air) he was #20 in the league. Top five are: Stafford, Maye, Prescott, Lawrence, and Darnold with Goff at 6.  When adjusted per completion, Young is 10th worst of QBs who qualify at 4.8 air yards per completion. He’s tied with Tua and Shadeur. Below him are Nix, Cousins, Geno, Dillon Gabriel, Kyler Murray, Throw Rogan, and Brady Cook.  League avg is 5.8.  The top of the CAY/CMP list is: Lamar with 7.7, Marcus Mariota at 7.6, Maye 7.5, Stafford 7.4, Mills 7.1, and Darnold & Lawrence are at 7 yards a piece.” and another…. ”I'm pretty sure "big time throws" are just a subjective thing given by whoever at PFF is charting the game for a throw that's really good, a big play could still not be a "big time throw" if it's like underthrown but the guy was wide open or a tight six yard throw could be big time if it was fired through triple coverage to convert 3rd down or whatever. It's just "nice throw" with a stat nerd gloss. Bryce was 17th in total # of throws 20+ yards downfield and would've easily been worse if guys like Lamar, Burrow, Purdy, Daniel Jones, etc. hadn't missed time. I can believe he was pretty ok at hitting downfield throws when he had the right look but he wasn't very prolific about it (which is why all these stats boosting him are rate stats instead of volume) and 1-2 nice tosses a game were drowned by the entire rest of his game which is why he was 36th in intended air yards per throw regardless of anything he did downfield (which again, may have been ok but on very middling volume)”  
    • I can't fathom why the Jags wouldn't tag him or just re-sign him.
