Stroud was always a build-a-bear QB to me. He has all the athletic traits you look for and wonderful mechanics.

It's all about whether he can transition to the next level - adjusting to NFL speeds / athletes and reading NFL defences. That's beyond my scouting skills from thousands of miles away, unfortunately.

Stroud making plays with his legs. Something people on here said he couldn't do. 

The Georgia game proved that one. People just didn't understand that he didn't need to at Ohio State because his passing was so great combined with his  o-line being very good.

I wanted Stroud before the draft, but think him and Bryce are both really good QBs. I worry for Stroud though being stuck with the Texans

Fields vs AR at 7 should be interesting as well. This first game didn’t have much going on 

Fields isn’t playing they said on Wednesday. He’s killed the Colts in the practices so no need to play. 
 

edit: to be clear he’s killed them all week ( and DJ looks uncoverable over there ) but the Colts, twice, actually hit him during the scrimmages even though you can’t touch the QB. And one of those was a low hit in the knee area. So not worth risking his health.

PJ Walker it is then

They actually have a rookie who’s looked reallly good but I can’t spell his name. Tyson Bagent or something like that. PJ has been so horrendous in practice and the last game that despite a super cheap two year contract, beat reporters think he’s a potential cut candidate.

If that is the case, then I'm surprised the bears wouldn't retaliate and take some cheap shots at Richardson

You don't want to start a preseason war with another team and have them try to take some more back. 

If you are playing all of your backups and third string in a game, it wouldn't be as bad. And if they are taking cheap shots at your most important player, they have absolutely earned All of the cheap shots they get in retaliation.

I hear what you are saying, but I would absolutely be telling my players to go all out and not be afraid of any penalties based on the cheap shots that are being talked about that happened earlier in the week

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
