Sounds like Fitt knew who he wanted and Reich liked him but needed to go through the process and confirm what he thought originally.

yup. Fitt and them have been convicted of Bryce since day 1

If we pick anyone other than Young at #1 we will get graded terribly and become a laughing stock by the media pundits. None of the other QB's are close. At #9 I would've been fine with any, hell I would've been ok with getting Van Ness at #9 and then Hooker or McKee at #39 or the other 2nd that was traded.

Fitt just a few days ago said Young stood out above the other QB's. Cmon man don't let a random reddit insider try to convince you otherwise.

 

Trading up to the #1 pick for Levis doesn't even seem realistic. We would be crucified if we drafted him #1. Some things just don't make sense. This fake rumor is one of those things.

Did you read what I wrote?

Do you remember the Fitt quotes a few days ago when he put Bryce Young above the rest?

 

If Levis is the guy why didn't he single him out?

 

Cmon guys on reddit make up fake rumors all the time. More than likely someone is trolling Levis. 

 

Get your #9 jerseys they coming in hot.

Chill dude lol, I still think it’s Young until something more concrete comes out that would make me think otherwise.

My guess is that Stroud sold them at his pro-day to cement a minimum 2-prospect viability at 1.  Young v Stroud, with many leaning CJ.  They were genuinely impressed.  I don't think Levis was far behind but the kid does has some big accuracy & mind-arm/hand-eye sync issues to work out.  Similar with AR but with other areas-for-improvement.  

As they dug in, interviewed, spoke to their coaches, teammates, really studied the tape, it simply moved to Young.

Could be, I just think back to the combine though and you can hear Reich focusing on Young. I remember leaving that presser shocked how into Young he was. That’s why I started taking him more seriously and then he did it again in that presser before the pro days.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
