This is a really bad take. Watch the TN game if you need more film of him making great decisions and throws under duress 

I don’t need to watch some other game. He has plenty of talent. He also has one of the best O-lines in college. That will not be the case in the NFL. I have watched him all year.

I did watch it. I am saying, the announcers are polishing his knob, but KS has no ability to bring pressure. Young is a great QB, but I highly doubt his success will translate to the NFL. It is not his size, it is his decision making ability under duress.

Then you did see him under pressure, make a few bad decisions/mistakes, and make some good ones as well.

Tagovailoa suffered a dislocated hip with a posterior wall fracture (along with a broken nose and concussion) in the game against Mississippi State. 

Yes I was at that game. But that’s kind of my point. Tua has had tons of concussion issues and even had one coming into the NFL. Could be wrong, but I don’t think Bryce has had any head issues

You: BY has all day I wanna see him under pressure 

Me: go watch the Tenn game where he put up 455 with 2 TD and no int while being absolutely destroyed all game by SEC players 

You: that doesn’t count

For me it’s tricky because yeah, you obviously want to see those things but if he does show those things it’ll cost us a couple 1’s to trade up and get him. 

So I kind of want to see him struggle so it leads to more questions and him falling down boards and falls into our laps. 

But then again, I thought for sure after Fields put on a show against Clemson he’d be long gone by our pick 

But if he struggles again versus elite competition what sets him apart from Sam Darnold? If everything has to go perfect for him in order for him to succeed we already have that in Darnold.

There's a difference between "everything needs to go perfect for him to put up gaudy numbers" and "everything needs to go perfect for him to complete 14 passes in a game".  I'm a big Darnold supporter in his current role, but Stroud's ceiling is as high or higher than Darnold's was pre-draft, and he comes without any "damage" from past seasons.

    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
