So who is better, Stroud or Young?

[Matthias]

I have to ask, what is the fascination with these two Qbs?  Shoot, Qbs coming from Ohio State should be entirely out of the question at this point.  As for the Alabama QB, meh meh.  The names should be Levis, Hooker, and in a trade back scenario, Anthony Richardson.  Really at number one overall, Levis is the only guy I would personally consider.  Yet again I can't stress this enough, any name coming out of OSU, that should almost be anathema at this point!!!

Young is better, Stroud is a product of that offense 

[stirs]

Stroud, Hooker, Levis and Richardson all have NFL bodies.

Young has an NBA body

Agree with Mathias that OSU produces program guys that are not usually successful in the NFL

Hooker is very intriguing, not sure if he has all the passes in his bag of tricks, but throws a great deep ball.

Levis is running a lot due to a poor OL, heard that anywhere lately?  But seems to be scrappy and has played hurt some this year.

Richardson I agree would be a trade back option

With the 1st pick in the 2023 NFL draft the Carolina panthers select Will Levis QB Kentucky

Do we have to get a Qb? If our staff thinks Stroud can be a NFL qb then we draft him otherwise I say we get Will Anderson.

Levis has terrible decision making, despite being in a QB friendly offense. Hendon Hooker runs Huepel's offense that relies on 1 on 1s, wide receiver splits and takes advantage of the college hashes. Anthony Richardson is the most up and down QB in the entire country.

You also scout the player, not the helmet.

The overall history tells us we scout the helmet if it's OSU.

Young.

Stroud has the size advantage.  But I haven’t seen Stroud take the hits.  Haven’t seen him take command, read the defense, change it up and command the offense. 
If Young had the Weapons Stroud has been throwing to.   It wouldn’t be fair.  Stroud has been throwing to one of arguably the best WR core in CFB history.  Good player though.

Just he isn’t reading the defense’s the same way, avoiding pressure the same way, standing in and setting his feet throwing dots while being hit the same way.

Stroud took a beating from UM last year and our 2 1st round talent DE's.. He still made pin point passes and plays.. While maneuvering in a crowed pocket..

Wait what?? Young haven't had weapons?? Are you serious??

I think Young is the best QB in college.  Passing on him could be a big mistake 

The Alabama offense is completely different without him on the field.  I think he will be a star in the NFL

Stroud has had

the number 10 and 11 overall pick

the guy who set the RoseBowl record and a top 15 pick this year.

and none of those are even the best WR, that’d be Marvin Harrison Jr which is looking to be a Megatron/Julio level prospect.

Young has had 1 1st rd level WR and that was Williams who didn’t make it the whole season.

 

Stroud took hits in the Michigan game, but no where near what Young went though Saturday

The same thing was said about Texas Tech QBs in the air raid offense until Mahomes was drafted. I was not a fan of Fields but Stroud is a much better prospect than him. He can run too they just don't need to have him do that at OSU. 

[WestPanthers]

Just hire Shane Steichen as HC and let him pick the Qb he wants. Maybe he thinks Matt Corrals is better than all of them?

Also ppl mentioned trade high pick for Lamar Jackson but you have to remember that you have to pay a chunk for his contract and no more cap to build around him vs the rookie contract.

Why do people make this dumb comment with such confidence

I'm in the see it to believe it camp.  If Stroud becomes a good NFL QB, he may be the first significant one coming from that school.  I wouldn't risk a first overall pick on those odds.  The only thing that would break my line of thinking with this, was if Stroud was a consensus every 10 years generational type cat.
