I’m 100% on board that he is our guy. But I won’t gaslight myself into believing he doesn’t have these flaws. 

Everyone has flaws. If one or the other of these guys didn't have flaws, there wouldn't be a debate. It boils down to how the coaching staff feels they can best address the issues and ultimately,  it's their decision.  Going on and on about it doesn't solve a thing. The coaching staff isn't looking at these threads thinking "You know "Joe blow" over here makes a good point. Let's do that." At the end of the day it's a crap shoot. Always has been.

We were told Bryce had the best line in college. Yet he still has to run around to make plays.

 

Bama WRs are still some of the best in college. Give me a break on no talent.

 

Plenty of QBs get the ball out. Why can't Bryce. Maybe scheme him a better O next time?

His OL last year was not great at all.  Neither were his WRs.  Jesus, homework man

I knew Kyle Trask was a second rounder, everyone knows that's a hard road in itself. Kyle Trask is 3yrs deep now competing for the job.

Matt Corral is one Bryce Young away from starting foreverrrrr.

They just signed Baker to start over Trask just like he did over Corral. Baker starting over your guys is a bad look. Also Corral can’t stay healthy. You are concerned about Young’s durability while Corral was injured in college and couldn’t make it through the preseason last year.

Wrong. 

For those who want to keep saying this, watch these two videos:

Clip after clip of throwing dudes open under pressure while having to move AND throwing dimes. Throws Bryce Young has never made. 

And you can watch below to see where Young struggles. 

Both guys have their pluses and minuses but somehow Stroud has developed this weird reputation he doesn’t move around, make dudes miss, and that his guys are just wide open. This past season Alabama WRs were more wide open than OSU WRs. Stroud constantly threw the ball into tight windows. Which translates to the NFL. Young does not. 

 

Young threw into tight windows plenty. Come on, dude.

Name. Which. Bama. WR. You. Want. Us. To. Draft.

I think Ohio State had a better offensive line up. Alabama had a much better defense, nobody is questioning that. Everyone is questioning that Young was surrounded by scrubs and no names.

Which teams that Alabama played this year had a better roster than Alabama outside of Georgia? Would love for you to answer that question.

Baker will be limping off to the sidelines soon enough. Or sucking, just like he did here after YOU and the Baker Boys filled up the huddle with the same foolish hopium you pump into BY.

Both not elite. Good eye.

I'll be honest. I keep watching play after play of both Stroud and Young from one game after another. Really in hopes that I'll fall in love with Young's style. 

He's very elusive. I like that. Despite his size, I'm not too worried about his durability. He can turn an ugly play into a brilliant one. Great poise.

But when I watch Stroud I see a QB that just makes it "look easy". He's also clearly poised. Smooth, quick release.  Beautiful ball placement.  Regardless of what some test suggests, he clearly processes defenses quickly and effectively with his progressions. 

Some think Stroud isn't fiery enough. I say he's just stone cold out there. Maybe he's Iceman to Young's Maverick.

Yep he is not elite and signed to start over Trask. What does that make Trask? How is Carson Strong? Who also had durability concerns just like Corral.

    • They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world. 
    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
