Goddamn it man, let us live in hope for 5 minutes.

At the latest he'd start after the Bye week, whenever that is. An owner and a coach want the player that's going to be best 3 years from now, not one that's better immediately, but has a capped ceiling.

I don't think he'll sit for long - you're right he needs to play and they'll want to get him on the field as soon as possible. His NFL team might not have elite talent, but they're still NFL calibre players - a massive upgrade from what he was playing with in Gainesville.

To be fair I'm not sure Reich knows Corral is on the roster. I'm yet to hear him mention him by name.

Hopefully the Texans are firm on their Bryce or bust train and offer us something we can't refuse.

He was wise to get out of that dumpster fire in Gainesville. Why stay another year in College if you're not getting the coaching you need? Not to mention the lack of talent around him to showcase his abilities.

I mean 5 minutes ago that was the sole reason we were picking Young.

It's all over his College tape. Also I've no idea why people have to be such dicks on here - grow the fug up.

Why?

I have to watch this poo though.

He was arguably a better QB this year - had better stats.

Their jobs literally depend on it - I just hope they've not fallen in love with the off-the-field stuff when the on-the-field stuff is what's most important. Everyone in that Front Office is fired in two years if they get this pick wrong.

They're the Houston Texans, bud.

I do feel like I'm taking crazy pills. Whenever I watch Young play I see a very limited athlete playing behind a stellar OLine. Don't get me wrong, he's a fun player to watch in College, but I just see another Manziel / Mayfield - a small dude with an average NFL arm who's been allowed to play backyard football behind a wall.

I still hope this is all speculation and Fitterer stays true to his word that they're not going to discuss the QB until they all come together next week. With regards to an extra weapon - fug that, if they're going to risk their careers with Young you need to build an absolute wall in front of him. Dude does not handle pressure from NFL athletes well AT ALL.

Both Mannings threw ugly footballs.

Agree to disagree on that one, bud. Stroud has Brady's arm (after a few years of NFL S&C). Young is a notch below.

Ban this person - nobody should be forced to watch full Gators games.

Richardson has better arm mechanics than Newton ever did. Newton was obviously a better player in College (partly because he was a run-first QB). Who knows who the better NFL QB will be.

Superior arm strength to who?!

At the end of the day, sadly it's their franchise to run into the ground.

It's a question they both have to answer - how good are they when the playing field is more even. 9.5 times out of 10 they had the better players when they stepped on the field. Did they elevate the play of those around them, or were they carried?

2022 Stats: Bryce Young - 3,328 yards, 32 TDs, 5 INTs CJ Stroud - 3,688 yards, 41 TDs, 6 INTs (and a higher completion %, if you're into that kind of thing) With regards to the supporting class: WR: Jermaine Burton - 4*, 99th overall recruit in Class of 2020 WR: Jacorey Brooks - 4*, 52nd overall recruit in Class of 2021 WR: Kobe Prentice - 4*, 85th overall recruit in Class of 2022 WR: Traeshon Holden - 4*, 263rd overall recruit in Class of 2020 RB: Jahmyr Gibbs - 4*, 178th overall recruit in Class of 2020 RB: Jase McClellan - 4*, 41st overall recruit in Class of 2020 Don't tell me he's playing with absolute bums. That roster is fuging stacked.

I'm convinced Levis will be a bust. He was beyond awful this year.

Does that account for Stroud's stats being significantly better than Young's this year?
