Do you watch CJ Stroud and wonder ‘what if’?

Watching him cook in Cincy and my mind ruminates on all the what if scenarios.

 

The Young miss would have been like we drafted Gabbert over Newton

Gabbert has a SB ring and has put together a long career in the NFL

Taking Bryce over Stroud is closer to if we were to have taken Jake Locker over Cam

Bryce Young has been sacked 29 times this season lmao... People really hide the truth to fit their narrative.

Some of those sacks were actually his fault just like they were in college. Bryce's style of play can lead to sacks and more hits, so simply stating the number and leaving that out is also fitting a narrative.

Even with his 130 yard game against the panthers, hes on pace for 5,000+........

 

Fyi texans would have had the #1 pick if not for a crazy 4th and super long conversion, it was on the game winning drive on the 17th game(i think)....they would have not traded out and most reports had them taking young.....

At this point it’s becoming a self fulfilling prophecy to keep patting yourself on the back over something that can’t be changed now…

CJ is gone let it go.. Do you still stalk your high school sweetheart years later wonder “what if” ?? If you do your a loser..

Plain and simple..

What a ridiculous comparison. If people are still groaning about it years from now okay go off but the draft was just in April.

And furthermore these two guys are going to have their careers connected for a long time you might as well get accustomed to it or just disconnect.

We still gloat about this from time to time and it was over a decade ago.

We'd still groan about it if we'd botched the pick.

 

 

And Cam would've probably gone on to have an even better career, but I digress.

We may have botched one this bad. We'll see.

Hurney was atrocious in many ways but for that moment that was an extremely important crossroads in franchise history he shut out the noise and made his pick a slam dunk. If a lot of people on the carolina huddle had their way we would have drafted Marcell Dareus.

Not just the Texans but even contenders wanted Bryce. That's why the Panthers traded up cause so many teams wanted him so they can't all be wrong. We just don't have any playmakers for Bryce to pass to since it was used to trade up.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
