Yeah, sure 😆

I've said already I think it's Young and I'm okay with it, but it's also wise to keep all things in context.

For example, if you listen to the podcast you'll hear the above quote was in response to a direct question about Young. It's not like Fitterer just said that offhand.

Always check the context. Twitter quotes don't necessarily tell you everything.

Also worth noting, that question fitty gave that answer to was specifically about Young right?

Correct.

It's one of the things that feeds the confirmation bias some folks have. Reporters right now only seem to ask about Young. Then Fitterer answers a question and someone acts like he just spontaneously brought him up.

Nobody asks about Stroud. Then someone notes "Oh,he didn't mention Stroud" . Well, no he didn't...because he wasn't asked about him. If he did mention him unprompted, people's tongues would start wagging, so he's wise not to.

To be clear, I think Young is probably going to be the pick, but I've learned to never assume anything for certain until the actual pick is announced.

(hell, Jason Peter taught me that)

Yup. I’m with you, all signs point to Young, but there is a chance something else could happen…

He didn't talk about Richardson either...until he was asked about him.

It's a smart move if you're being cagey to not bring up anyone's name unless you're asked.

Actually he did talk about AR.  Briefly.  Not sure it’s on that podcast but he did on WFNZ this morning

wait are there actually people that think it's not gonna be Bryce?

I think it's down to one poster not believing it, but he is just in denial right now.  Give him time...  There are a couple that are grumpy about it, but that's ok.

I think Kaye said that the day of the press conference, it was either Tuesday or very soon I believe 

He did say the decision would be made early next week but I don't remember him mentioning a presser.

They had one this week. Not sure why they'd need one again until the pick is made.

Sorry, I meant to say after the presser they held this week, Kaye mentioned it would be soon.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
