It shows a lot of maturity for a 20 year old.

You have the perfect staff for it - QB whisperer Reich, able backup Dalton (who can start until he's ready), long-time journeyman / defacto QB Coach McCown, and P. Manning's QB Coach Caldwell. They won't do it though - they're not brave enough.

He's dropped that nickname on the back of the multiple, multiple school shootings in the US.

I mean you get sacked either way. Rhule tried to build a roster and backdoor his way into a good QB (Bridgewater and Darnold, mainly) on the cheap. Reich has sold the farm for the #1 pick. Ultimately if he misses on that pick he's gone in 3 years.

Exactly the same height - Murray is wearing trainers, Young is wearing flip flops in that photo.

Thursday. They fly in tomorrow from Phoenix for the meal.

It's basically Brady's NFL arm after he went through an NFL S&C programme. He can hit any throw on any level with excellent accuracy, but the ball doesn't explode out of his hand like it does Mahomes / Herbert et al.

No, but some people are acting like he's Mike Glennon.

I guess his worry is that as a running QB those are his prime years and he'd get stiffed at the back end of his career.

There's basically only one team you can trade with, unless you really like Richardson, so this doesn't come as a surprise.

Pretty much. You have to fire everyone in the building, and I mean everyone, if you take Young and he gets hurt.

At the end of the day you're asking an NFL NickelBack to suit up at QB for you 17 times a season and hoping for the best.

Blink twice if you're being forced to read the threads.

I mean if you can't see the style / size comparison I don't know what to tell you. The big knocks on Young are a) his size (whether he can take NFL hits and see the middle of the field) b) whether his style of play flies in the NFL (he's not an elite athlete and we've seen it fail with Manziel, Mayfield and [to an extent, even though he's a much better athlete] Murray). If anything I have that reaction when anyone compares him to Mahomes.

The fact we're still having this conversation is why I personally wouldn't have traded up to #1. I don't think either QB is a sure thing to succeed in the NFL and for the price we paid they simply have to be a franchise QB. That's an even longer shot.

I mean technically you could also argue that yes, Stroud threw to two 'top 11' WRs in 2021, but his stats didn't fall off very much in 2022 when they left. It wasn't a case of Clausen at Notre Dame being carried by Golden Tate and Michael Floyd (and Kyle Rudolph). And yes, I know he's still throwing to a talented cast.

I mean this is weird guess work from you, but you're also missing out one of the most important voices in the building - Dan Morgan.

Technically Young has proven he can scramble around in College to buy time to make things happen. Manziel did a similar thing.

I think that's fair as long as you're ok with you and everybody in your extended family never getting a job in the Carolinas ever again if it doesn't work out.

I did.

I think you're a tad bit premature with this thread. Let's see how the FAs do. Not to mention the QB pick - who absolutely cannot be anything but fantastic, or Fitterer should be fired.

He lost any remaining good will he had with me when he threw everyone under the bus on the way out. I hope he crashes and burns.

I watch a lot of College football, thank you. The reality is we never know how these players are going to pan out, but there's more than a few that could be WR1 in the right situation. We've traded away an absolute king's ransom for a non-generational QB, so why stop now if we like a WR / TE / Edge in the bottom of the first / top of the second? fug dem picks.

I'm not old, I'm just not a TikToker.
