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.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
