Its not even really about that. This is an audition for the other 31 NFL teams too. If I'm him, I'm taking every big throw that looks remotely open. If he goes out there and goes 12/15 for 63 yards, nobody's signing him.

You only get one shot. Palms are sweaty. Mom's spaghetti. I hope that's his attitude.

Don't be so dramatic. Just DVR it and fast forward through it later.

He might do both lol

Yeah I'm not optimistic but I'm also not pessimistic about Canales. I'm trying to be fair with him, but it's pretty hard with Dan given he's not new.

CRA after you asked this question

Plus by that point you're a man amongst boys. If you can't dominate by then, you aren't gonna translate to the NFL.

Personally, I'm hoping that Joe Milton lights our asses up just to see the Huddle's reaction.

I think he’ll figure it out eventually. And if not we’ll have the Nicole era to look forward to. At least she wanted Stroud lol.

Maybe he’s washed but I get the feeling we might we wishing we had him by the time he’s healthy this year.

Did we call this man? I haven't seen film but an 86 PFF score indicates he's better what we got.

Hurney would have ruined the rest of the draft, but I bet he would have taken Jalen Carter at 9. That would have been nice next to DB.

Yea but you don't need to trade multiple 1st round picks to move up. We could have easily lost more games by letting Rhule continue. We should have taken on the chin and drafted someone at 9. The trade is ridiculous. Giving up all of that to roll the dice on a QB is insane, because there's another QB dice roll built into the return we gave up. We could have easily secured the #1 selection without Bryce last season. The 49ers did what they did because they have a stacked roster that's got a limited window. That's a different situation. We have no window. The frame isn't even up.

That's like saying russian roulette isn't crazy as long as the bullet isn't in the chamber. It's a crazy move to trade that much for a #1 pick. You take the prospects out of the equation, and its stupid from a risk management perspective. A coin flip is better odds than landing a franchise QB #1 overall. Would you bet everything on a coin flip? Would you bet everything on worse odds than that? It's gambling addict stuff.

And if the pass protection is the same on week 1? Would you hold him out until next season? This is pretty unheard of.

Jack the Snack Plummer

They're already putting it out there that he may not play at all. It feels like that's how its gonna go. I'd be surprised if he takes a snap.

The Corbett at C thing just reminds me picking up Sam Darnold's 5th year option. Well we just figured if he was actually good, it would be a great deal. The type of thinking that's indicative of a gambler. Not a poker player. That's all about assessing probability and risk. But someone who would invest their entire life savings into scratch off tickets.

When I first saw the news that we had traded up to #1, I thought to myself "It's gotta be Stroud." I was definitely for taking Stroud, but was ultimately bamboozled by the baby genius hype train. I didn't watch him play that much in college, and I assumed he was a bit more athletic than he actually is. He might be able to make the right decisions better than most rookies, but I'm not sure that his athleticism meets the bar to put him in those positions in the NFL. He seemed to do better when the play broke down in college. But, I'm not sure that he's athletic enough to be rolling out of the pocket constantly in the NFL. I'm interested to see what happens this year, but I was definitely fooled by the hype train right before the draft. The trade up itself was dumber than the pick. Draft picks are never a sure thing. Bryce could have been Mighty Mouse last year and Stroud could have busted hard. But pushing all the chips to middle of the table on that kind of pick is just unnecessarily risky.
