*FreeFua*

From a few days ago but this is the first time I’m seeing this quote

After hearing him speak at the combine I’m not surprised one bit

Lol those are f’n awful

If we do choose CJ I’m going to assume he impressed with his board work/football IQ because there is no way you pass on someone with Young’s understanding of the game for someone who’s far behind in that area

I saw they brought Anderson in for a visit. I have this weird feeling that if we do take Young they might take Anderson. They could also trade back but at some point they’re going to need actual players and not just a bunch of draft picks

It was either Reich or Fitterer who mentioned having a QB that’s able to set protections at the line. Young does that which is super rare for a college QB. Again if they’re neck and neck there are things that favor Stroud. Obviously his size but he also throws a better deep ball and in Reich’s system that may count for a lot

I assume he didn’t throw because he was full of water and felt like garbage

An aggressive Kirk Cousins would be a really good QB Instead he’ll forever be check down Kirk which is why he’ll never win a SB. If Stroud can be an aggressive version of Kirk, that honestly wouldn’t be so bad

He showed it once throughout an entire game during his 2 seasons worth of games I said early on his athleticism is slept on BUT he doesn’t consistently use it. Instead his footwork gets sloppy and he has a habit of drifting away when throwing under pressure

I agree, if that’s who you think you’re getting moving forward then you absolutely take him over Bryce

Do we think Georgia Stroud is the Stroud we’re getting moving forward? He’s always shown flashes throughout games of being that player but never to that level. For every play he’s made with his legs there’s a few plays where his footwork goes out the window due to pressure. There’s 2 seasons worth of tape for them to look at and make a good enough guess as to who he’ll be moving forward. Stroud’s accuracy and ball placement is better than Young’s but that’s when there’s a clean pocket. Stroud was given a lot of space back there most plays, space he won’t have in the NFL often. I’m enjoying watching these two because I wasn’t leaning either way going into it. I started off wanting Stroud but I’m slowly wanting Bryce more now

There’s a new test https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2023/03/21/nfl-s2-cognition-quarterbacks/ https://www.bleachernation.com/nfl/2023/02/25/one-test-hints-this-qb-class-is-exceptional-packers-coaches-skipping-the-combine-and-other-nfl-bullets/

Honest question… If Ohio State wasn’t given that chance against Georgia, would many of you even be considering C.J. at 1? or where do you think C.J. would have been drafted if Michigan was his final college game?

Even in that Michigan prior to the Georgia game there’s a significant difference in his footwork in the pocket with pressure. Georgia he legit didn’t give a f*ck and stood tall and stepped into his throws. Michigan he’s throwing fade aways. I wish McCown would’ve chosen a different game of his to breakdown. Would’ve been a hell of a lot more interesting

I wonder what it would take for the Panthers to drop to 2. I can’t imagine Houston parts with that 12th pick to move up one spot but I also can’t imagine Carolina passing up on the guy they traded up to take for anything less

Everyone and their dog has seen that Georgia game 1000 times. If that’s the Stroud we’re getting then yes, I’m taking him over Young but is that who we’re getting? There are 2-3 times each game he uses his legs and makes plays. If he ever started doing that consistently then oh boy

Has there ever been a QB prospect that struggled with pressure in college but didn’t when they played in the NFL? Honest question because I feel like that would be a very tough area to improve in

Go to the 6:08 mark. He only shows a few plays and if I knew how to make gifs and crap I’d do it myself but there’s more examples of this type of stuff if you watch all of his games Stroud has been my guy since day 1 but over the last few days this particular part of his game is starting to really worry me CJ Stroud stats vs pressure (2022): 5-2 TD-INT, 72.7 QB rating, 5.7 YPA CJ Stroud vs clean pocket (’22): 32-4 TD-INT, 134.7 QB rating, 10.2 YPA Bryce Young stats vs pressure (2021): 17-3 TD-INT, 100.8 QB rating, 7.9 ypa Bryce Young vs clean pocket (’21): 30-4 TD-INT, 134.7 QB rating, 9.3 ypa Bryce Young vs pressure (2022): 9-3 TD-INT, 95.2 QB rating, 9.3 ypa Bryce Young vs clean pocket (’22): 23-2 TD-INT, 122.9 QB rating, 8.5 ypa

I really worry about Stroud’s ability to handle pressure Bryce has proven he can handle it

Not sure if it’s been posted but Jesus Christ

By far the best one I’ve seen. These are actually pretty damn good looking

Yep these are awful. As much as we need a uniform refresh the majority of the teams we’ve seen unveil new uniforms lately have been terrible So I’m more nervous than I am excited to see what they do with ours

I know everyone loves the Burrow comp for CJ due to his accuracy/ball placement but he’s Joe Cool for a reason… Right now, one of the more sought-after traits for a quarterback is the ability to create outside of the structure. Burrow is one of few collegiate quarterbacks to pass that with flying colors. When Burrow has been forced outside of the pocket (non-designed rollouts and scrambles), he is, once again, the nation's highest-graded quarterback and has an accurate-pass rate 13% higher than second place. If all that advanced data (that is found nowhere else in the world) didn’t convince you that Burrow is the best college quarterback in 2019 then maybe this will put it into perspective: Not only is he the highest-graded quarterback under pressure, but his grade under pressure is better than the clean-pocket grade of 84 FBS quarterbacks. Calling it insane is an understatement. He has thrown just one interception under pressure while throwing 15 touchdowns. Whether he is in a clean pocket or under duress, Burrow can quite literally do it all. https://www.pff.com/news/college-football-how-joe-burrow-and-the-lsu-offense-went-from-unknown-to-unstoppable
