You serious clark?

I'm glad that reporters can't agree on who various factions within our team favor.  It means we've learned to properly smokescreen what we're doing.  Finally.  This is a Good Thing (tm).

Here's how I see it.  There is really no down side to Stroud.  The biggest knock on him is that he was throwing to hall of fame wide receivers.  The worst I see for him down the road is being a decent to good quarterback.  Bryce Young on the other hand is more of a gamble.  Not that he doesn't have the talent, but can he last long enough in this league to have good success?

So can you imagine we draft Young and he struggles or get hurt, while Stroud goes on to be a prolific QB?  Personally, I can live with us picking Stroud and Young goes on to have the better career.  Yet I would be devastated if we take Young and he flames out.

I really think Young is a the highest value risk reward swing. Sure he is small and can get hurt, but If he hits, he is a superbowl QB.

name one good 169 lbs quarterback

The "Little General" Eddie LeBaron was 5'7" 168lbs when he played.

And to do you one better,

Davey O-Brien was 5'7" and weighed 151lbs. He only played briefly in the NFL and gave up football to be an FBI agent.

They're the two smallest guys to ever play QB in the NFL.

Nah Catsfan hates running QBs. And Bluetooth is too coherent to be him anyway.

Nah. Give me Stroud over Doug Flutie 2.0

[LegioX]

Young’s height and size concerns me ALOT. He is just one big hit away from injury or getting rattled.

I just don't see it happening.  Count me as a non-believer.  I'm not overly thrilled about Stroud either, but he, at least on tape, appears to be extremely accurate and great at shifting around in the pocket.  Brees-esque in the regard.

So one player you aren't in favor of is deemed injury prone after a single game but a guy who is even smaller will never face that problem? You guys can't even be consistent within one thread.

I like you but you are letting your fandom get the best of you with this Bryce Young infatuation. Now I know why you are so mad about the pro Stroud threads and wanting us to draft Levis for the laughs. Damn ya'll are taking dickriding to an extreme.

one big hit away from injury

That's every player ever. One bad angle is all it takes no matter how large someone is. It was just a few weeks ago that a guy bigger than Young took a helmet to the chest and nearly died on the field.

or getting rattled

Young took big hits in college and didn't get rattled. Stroud on the other hand got rattled quite a lot when pressured and hit.

Not really. It seems like the crazies are the Stroud lovers, and if we pick Young, you'll see.
