I get it. Young's size concerns are very real and I'm just not certain Stroud still looks like Stroud on a team where his surrounding talent isn't head and shoulders above his competition. Very interested in seeing him in the playoffs and really hoping to see that UGA/OSU national championship game. They just seem like the two best teams by a wide margin.

He's not gonna get any taller. If you think he can't start year one due to this then he's never gonna be a starter.

Then why aren't you working for an NFL team? Sure seems like there would be a demand for your prophetic QB projections since NFL teams are wrong quite a bit.

I still can't believe Josh Downs dropped that fuging ball.

As in the 6th or 7th? No. Talent well worth the risk there. But it would have to be LATE.

That level of delusional is highly unhealthy. Mike Vrabel "in consideration".

I bet even a "cerebral" type of QB along the lines of a Brees or Brady has a 115ish level IQ. Basically a run of the mill "smart" guy. One standard deviation above the average idiot.

I don't think IQ has much at all to do with football ability. Listen, I think you're going to struggle to be an elite NFL QB if you're a mouth breathing moron but you don't exactly have to be a theoretical physicist either. HOW you process information is important. A lot of deep thinkers aren't gonna work. If you're thinking once that ball is snapped you're too slow. You have to be able to revert to instinct at that point. And honestly I think that's why a lot of teams downgraded guys whose Wonderlic scores are TOO high. Really smart guys are too apt to try to think their way through it and it doesn't matter how quick of a thinker you are you're still gonna be too slow.

That's why interviews are so important. Physical talent isn't everything. It's the intersection of talent, football intelligence, and work ethic. The guys who become elite in the NFL have the trifecta.

Absolutely. Josh Allen is a bust if he was drafted by Carolina in 2011. Cam was different.

Agreed. I'm way more intrigued about Richardson. Sold on him? No, not even close. But you can sell me on Richardson a lot easier than you can sell me on Levis.

If Tepper sticks with Wilks it's just confirmation he's clueless and we should all pursue alternative Sunday afternoon plans for the foreseeable future.

I agree with this. Hell, the odds of Josh Allen becoming Josh Allen was astronomical.

Oh, we're desperate. And if we're desperate I'd MUCH rather roll the dice on Richardson than Levis.

Richardson >>>>> Levis in terms of pure raw talent. Richardson is also a couple years younger. Listen, if you held a gun to my head and made me say yay or nay on Richardson is say nay. I'm just saying in intrigued on a pure talent basis if he checks the boxes in interviews. Levis? I'm all the way out on him. I think he's an NFL backup. He's Kenny Pickett 2.0 and I was saying this time last year I wouldn't even look at Picket prior to the 3rd.

You're just a troll. You have no desire to debate. You come with the same bullshit angle in every thread. You just want to act like a guy who knows something no one else does just to take an alternative stance and then try to argue it. You aren't smart. You aren't unique. You're just a troll.

Of course he isn't perfect. But he also threw what should've been the game winner. This is a sub .500 team minus Drake Maye. The Heels have been awful for years minus Sam Howell and Drake Maye.

You didn't watch the game troll. Go away.

Hell no it wasn't. It wasn't his fault Josh Downs dropped a perfectly thrown TD pass. It wasn't his fault that Longo is an awful situational play caller. It wasn't his fault that Chizik had no recognition that GT was telling him exactly what they planned to do based on who they put on the field at QB. There's no such thing as a perfect football player but take Drake Maye and Sam Howell away from UNC football over the past four years and we look like Vanderbilt.

Drake Maye lost to GT tonight. Was it his fault?

Rattler has #1 overall talent. He is UDFA between the ears. I'd be willing to roll the dice on him starting about the 6th.

I agree. He's a total anomaly. By all means Josh Allen should've been a bust. But how is Allen in college any different than Richardson except for Richardson facing a much higher level of opposition? They're basically the same guy.

He has the raw talent. Would I bet on him? Honestly I'm not sure I would. I've said repeatedly that I've never seen anyone make anywhere close to the strides as a pure passer that Josh Allen did. Not even close. I just thought that Allen coming out of college was a guaranteed bust. He checked every bust box. Cannon arm. Plus athleticism. No accuracy. No consistency. No big time clutch moments. But he hit. Big time. That changed my outlook. I'm of the opinion now that you rol the dice on a guy with all the talent if he sells you during interviews. So I won't complain if we take him or if we don't since I can't sit in on the interviews. It all cokes.down to that factor for Richardson IMO.

@Shockerbe honest, did you ever actually watch Josh Allen in college? Forget the NFL. Did you ever watch him in COLLEGE? It really doesn't seem like it.

Yeah he is. He isn't near the runner and overall athlete that Cam was. He's a plus athlete and runner with a cannon arm with sporadic accuracy just like Josh Allen was. Cam Newton was miles ahead of Josh Allen coming out of a college. Fuging MILES.
