Fanbase Temperature Gauge: Who do you like and who do you want? (3/21/23)

I know I’m in the minority here but I’m not sure either are worthy of the #1 overall pick. Stroud and young are the the top QB,s in this draft, but are they worthy of that pick.

I get what you are saying but what makes people think Stroud isn’t as good at processing and progressions? I’ve seen him drop back and go through his reads on the regular while putting up great numbers.

I’ve asked the same question. How do we know that Stroud isn’t close to Young when it comes to processing? It seems to be an assumption based on nothing.

Kind of you to sacrifice yourself to unite the two separate camps here.

If Young was 6'3 he would be getting Trevor Lawrence hype.

 

It's hard to imagine because he's in a kid body.

I'm with a lot of the group. I think both are good picks and have the potential to be franchise quarterbacks. I think Stroud is the safer pick because of his size, especially long term. Young could end up being the better of the two but I think he also has the most chance of durability issues.

I'd be happy with either, but lean toward Stroud. And we won't know the best answer for several years.

Stroud is going to be Dak Prescott, Kirk Cousins, Matt Stafford etc. You'll have to surround him with a ton of talent and then maybe, maybe you will compete for a championship. During a 10 year career maybe one or two years will have enough talent on the team to compete. To be honest I think that is the worst case scenario for a team to be in. Who wants to the the Dallas Cowboys or the Minnesota Vikings of the last 5 years? Who wants to be the Lions of the last ten years? What is the point?

Maybe Young can't stay healthy. Maybe he is too small. But he has the higher ceiling. He processes the game faster than any college QB I've ever seen. He can make every throw. I want Michael Jordan not Paul Pierce.

Listening to media clips talking about the panthers today and couple media outlets still saying its stroud. Nobody really knows.

Agree. If Young were 6’3” he would be clear #1 overall and CHICAGO would have never traded down.

This is funny because those 3 QB's are nothing alike.

 

Are you drunk bro?

I feel like it’s being used a lot for Young to compensate for his size, but I really don’t see it as a weakness for Stroud. He finds his open WR.

 I'm speaking of each of thoses QBs inability to lift lesser talent when it matters the most. I could play WR for the Chiefs and Mahomes could make me look competent. Dak, Kirk and Stafford have all had to be carried by superior talent, and it still hasnt been enough to get them over the hump. You don't want to be stuck with that type of QB for 10 years. Its a waste of everybodys time. Go big (or small in this case) or go home.

[Kentucky Panther]

I’m honest fine with either one but I want Stroud. Stroud can be coached up to read defenses quicker. Young can’t magically grow three inches and gain 20 lbs.

Its so funny, Michael Jordan fell in the draft because he was "only" 6'6 and 6'6 guys didn't dominate the league like the 7 footers at the time. Steph Curry was considered small and too skinny. Dolphins chose an ancient Daunte Culpepper over Brees because of durability issues lol. We've literally seen hundreds of 6'3, 6'4, 6'5, 6'6 QBS absolutely suck in the NFL, but the one guy that doesn't fit the mold is a "risk". The nature of the game is CHANGING folks. Its virtually illegal to hit the QB. This isn't 1973. If your QB can extend plays, improvise make throws and move the chains you have a valid chance to win a superbowl year in and year out. If he can not you do not. Its that simple. Doesn't matter if he is 5'4 or 6'10.

One of those QB's have a SB. You can say that about pretty much any QB in the league besides Mahomes. The elite QB's have weapons for the most part.

 

The only elite QB without talent around him on offense right now is Lamar Jackson. You need talent around you to win in this league no matter what.
