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

      Smitty on TMac

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches.

      Give Legette another season?

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.
