Hence the rarely part. Joe Burrow by all accounts is a scouting anomaly and also had one of the best college football seasons of all time. 

You mean like the 0 star QB who had to start his career at Incarnate Word and is on pace to win the Heisman?

Who knows what crazy numbers Ward puts up if his team can advance in the Playoffs. He already has over 3k passing yards and 29 TDs.

I'm 100% in on Ward. He's cool, swagged, and collected on the field like Burrow, and is big and has obvious arm talent. Love his release too, very Matt Stafford-like. I don't think we are winning again, we only have one chance to win again this season and that's against the Giants next week.

HUH? Joe Burrow was a four start recruit who went to Ohio st. You're reaching here

We need a new QB. We shouldn't pick one in this draft before the third or fourth round.

It's not about the QB position at all.

It's about building a team. We need to concentrate on defense right now, nowhere else. We need the best D-lineman and/or the best MLB in the first round. Players who can impact every single play of the game. DB would be great, but it's a luxury that we can't afford in the first round. We've got to grab the best first or second level defender available to us, perhaps trade back in to the first for a second dip.

At QB, we just need to grab a journeyman vet out there and roll into next season with the intention of building a strong defense under a new defensive coordinator. Build the defense well and it will give a young QB more chances.

 

What makes your think when we have another chance to pick a new young QB they are going to be any good? We just had to pick between Bryce, Stroud, Richardson, and Levis. The year before the first QB was Pickett. It’s always next years QB class until it’s not. You can’t be big brain about QB selections. If you think a guy is Mahomes, Jackson, Burrow or Allen, you take them. 
 

Cam Ward, to me, has very few flaws. He could be 2 inches taller and on occasion throws some of the worst picks you’ve ever saw….But it’s because he’s the anti Bryce, the dude really believes he can make the throw. When he doesn’t, he immediately thinks he can make it the next time. No sulking, no dropping his arms. No kid poo.

I feel like Cam Ward is kind of the anti-Bryce Young. Not highly recruited, has the traditional physical traits/arm strength, but isn't as "NFL ready" on paper.

But we've seen how what's on paper doesn't always translate to the field.

Listening to him speak and you get a feeling he's very much the opposite of Bryce. Almost a "chip on his shoulder" mentality. I've seen videos of him poo talking shedeur to his face during a throw around. Crazy competitive, it reminds me Smitty and Thomas Davis.

I'm clearly stating that Ward is a scouting anomaly.

He's on pace with Burrow right now and, as much as it pains me to say it, he doesn't have the supporting cast Burrow did.

I like Ward, but he makes some completely stupid decisions sometimes. The throw backwards yesterday against Duke was ridiculous. 

He threw one like that against Cal too - just one of those "what in the actual fug are you thinking?" throws. 

He then throws a dart to Restrepo on the goalline where the CB is playing a trap coverage, but the ball is out so quickly that the CB can't get there to make a play on it.

I've learned to live and die by his gunslinger attitude.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      The defense is 28 out of 32 in salary cap allocation for 2025. We have a ton of resources tied up in the offense including the highest paid OL in the league multiple 1st round WR's and multiple recent draft picks across the offense at TE and RB and we have two 1000 yard backs. Bryce and company couldn't get past Tyler Shough and his crew in 2 games. That's all there is to it. You can spin it and put the entire onus on the defense to your heart's desire it doesn't change the fact that this is an OFFENSIVE team now. If you want to argue that we should revert back to a defensive identity as we have been in the past which has brought us success then I will agree with you on that. But as it stands the onus is on the offense because that is where we have invested through the nose. Dave Canales and Bryce Young need to do a hell of a lot better than they have against the rebuilding Saints who without us should only have 2 wins this season.

      Bryce is not trending up. He is the same QB he has always been. Bottom of the league in most categories.  If Canales thinks he can build a contender with Bryce then he is a bigger idiot then I thought.  Offense next year will have the same issues and be just as inconsistent as it was this year.  We have seen Bryce’a ceiling and it is 175 yards a game and that is not a QB you keep around as your starter. That is barely a backup.

      Looks like Darnold should have had at least 3 picks. That'll get ugly in the playoffs eventually. Can't deny his physical talent though. You either have that or you don't. Mike Macdonald is a legit coach.
