Jeremiah on Stroud. Don't overlook the compliment.

[top dawg]

We already know that, but for his size, Bryce Young would be considered a phenom in the same vein as Peyton Manning, Andrew Luck and Football Fabio (you heard that nickname here first). We also have the uber athletic Anthony Richardson undoubtedly making NFL types across the league imagine and daydream about the possibilities of this fine piece of football eye candy that they've been presented with during the 2023 Combine. But that didn't mean that CJ Stroud didn't play his part to make the choice of who will be the first QB taken in this year's draft that much more difficult and/or nebulous. At least among fans there is no consensus. And if the sentiment of Daniel Jeremiah is shared among other analysts, GMs, coaches and owners, surely this will be an interesting top of the first round.

That compliment perhaps should not be overlooked or taken lightly. There is no question about Stroud's size, and he's not viewed as a multi year boom-or-bust type of project, he just throws the ball where it's supposed to be. 

Now this is not to say that there are no questions about his game, but there will always be a premium on accurately delivering the football from the pocket.

Kirk cousins on steroids.

The end of the day it’s the combine though. It’s a workout. It’s hype. 
 

Hopefully our staff already has their QB’s figured out. We already knew Stroud can perform consistently in ideal scenarios. We already knew Richardson is a freak athlete. 
 

The questions that remain about these QB’s don’t get answered at the combine, with the exception of the interviews if any of it actually matters.

Kirk Cousins on steroids with the right mentality would be a HOF QB though.

Kirk Cousins with the willingness to push the ball down field would be a damn good QB

Middle of the pack QB is damn good?

 

I have him in the Carr/Prescott tier. Good but now good enough to win a SB.

 

Vikings/Cowboys have been loaded for years and they always come up short when the games matter.

All three of the top guys have their strengths but the one who is best at getting the football from his hand to the receivers’?  Stroud, without question. That’s what I care about.
