Stroud showed that same factor against a team stacked with nfl talent. He answered the concerns. 

He lost that game, right?

have you watched the Panthers for the past three seasons? 

 

There has been ZERO hope because you knew we weren't making any noise without a QB.

Drew Brees says hi. Young navigates the pocket in a similar manner to how Brees did so many years.

Brees has 2 inches on Young.

Now's the opportunity for TMJ to show us how good he can be.

That’s usually how #1 picks go….they always go to the team with the most needs.

Those teams usually have assets to build around the number 1 pick as well. And guess what, we don't have any. If recent precedent is any example, we will also make the wrong pick here. The last two notable guys who were traded up for in the Top 10 were Rosen and Trubisky. Then you get into the Jets run of QB's in Darnold and Zach Wilson.

Our pick needs to be Stroud or no one else, in my opinion. He's the only guy worth the number 1. Maybe Young works out but he is just so small that physics says he probably won't be able to stay healthy (look at Tua). A lot of Young's throws have been to wide open receivers after getting 3 to 5 seconds to throw.

Seeing how Stroud played against UGA makes him the undisputed number one guy in the draft, in my opinion. He had the single best game against them in quite some time. He made a ton of NFL throws, under pressure reminiscent of the NFL, playing against basically an entire defense that will be in the NFL.

If it's Levis, dumb decision because we could've had him at 5 or 6. Richardson? Probably could've waited until 9. Young? Probably going to be injury prone at his size. Brees and Russell are small guys but they are built differently than Young.

Some people question the plan here. We don't have the assets to build around the number 1 pick and the talent base of this offense is literally the worst in the NFL. So maybe we will have a decent offense by Year 3 of Reich, but this 1st year is going to be rough and I'd hate to ruin a number 1 pick by having them throw to Shenault, Shi Smith, Terrace Marshall, and Ian Thomas. 

Think about that for a minute. It's quite literally the worst receiving group in the NFL and it isn't even close. Then we have Blackshear and Chubba under contract at running back.

Then we have a transition to a 3-4 defense coming. 

So people aren't upset, they just don't see how this is going to work in the foreseeable future. It reeks of Tepper wanting a cash cow to me. He wants to be noticed. That's it. It's not about winning because if it were, trading down amd developing the talent base of the entirety of the roster would've been the better move here. Could've had potential stars on the lines, tight ends, running back, edge rusher, safety, corner, etc. 

Now we traded all of that for one pick, along with DJ Moore...

So yeah. People are wondering how this is going to work.

So? Height doesn't really matter when it comes to durability. This is Kevin Durant. He's 6'10". Would his height help him hold up in the NFL? He's averaging 5.3 assists a game this season which is just as good or better than some point guards, so he can pass. Would his height help him be a better QB in the NFL??

The answers are no. These height arguments are silly. If a guy can play the game well he can play in the NFL regardless of height.

What do you mean we don't have the assets?? We have 6 draft picks in each of the next 3 drafts and cap money starting next year!

Durant plays a non-contact sport.
