Who should we be looking at outside the "top 4" QB candidates?

Max Duggan. Why do people sleep on this guy so much. He has literally made tcu receivers look good.  Jaelan Reagor looked like a first round pick. So does Williams.

Michael Penix Jr. threw for 485 yards and had five total touchdowns in a 51-33 win over WSU

Because he’s a brittle project. The projects you want to take are the physical freaks so if we don’t take Young or Stroud we take a stud defender or trade down if we can. But we gotta make sure we come away with AR at least.

I know he has an injury history, but I feel he is getting over looked. Plenty of TDs and leads the league in passing yards. Washington could finish in the top 10…

The guy can throw.

He can throw, has a strong arm, is mobile enough to avoid pressure and he is elevating his talent around him. That’s a lot of boxes to check.

The further I get into this the further I am starting to believe you take Bryce Young and if he's not there your roll the dice with Richardson and sign a vet bridge QB or keep PJ

[ForJimmy]

If we are able to get Stroud or Young we are probably doing it. If we win some more games I think we should look at Penix/Richardson (could possibly trade down if both are on the board, but it’s risky).

99.9% sure Richardson returns to school.  Stroud may as well considering he's looking at us or Houston as his potential teams (*cough* Andrew Luck *cough*) and OSU is 0-2 versus Michigan while he's been there.  If it's Young and Levis whereby Houston takes Young #1, TRADE DOWN!  We need more picks anyway.

He has had a couple of torn ACL's but has come back from them nicely. I think Thomas Davis had 3 in his young career and never looked back so it's possible he can stay healthy from here on out. I stayed up late to watch the game last night (this morning) to watch him and Cam Ward play. Penix has great touch on the ball and reminds me a little of Warren Moon.

No way Stroud returns as he is a top 5 lock. Richardson has had a couple injury scares already. If he is a 1st round lock then he probably goes. Next year he will be battling Maye, Williams, McCarthy, and whoever else might have a Pickett or Burrow season.

Penix is a toss up, want to see how he keeps it up through the season but he's on track.

Those 3 are quality guys with great upside, and most importantly NFL level arms which for some reason gets lost on a lot of people when that's most critical at the end of the day.  Daniels is the one to watch IMO.  

I want to love Ward.  But I think he should stay another year.  He's young and has mad potential.

The rest are a bit of toss-ups/developmental.  I get why people may like some like Rogers, J Hall, etc. but they're a bit of stretches.

The most important thing is actually NFL level ability to read the field and the ability to digest new schemes and offenses. 

The NFL arm can put you into an elite class but not without that "NFL brain" to go with it.

I have a co-worker that's a HUGE, HUGE Gators fan and he says Richardson has been saying behind the scenes he's probably returning next year, though obviously nothing official yet.

Probably correct about Stroud, but if it comes down to us and the Texans as landing spots, that very well could change his mind.  He's a RSO, so there's no urgency there besides money.  Again, it's happened to us before.  EVERYONE thought Luck was coming out that year and when it came down to it, he opted to return to school.  While Andrew sugar-coated it, everyone knew why.  I bet if you could ask Trevor Lawrence if he should have stayed instead of going to the Jags. I bet he has some serious second thoughts.

Stroud probably does declare, but I don't think it's a slam dunk decision as you make it seem.
