    Nice!

    let’s do this.

    % of QB’s that height that threw for 3000+ yards

    and then % of QB’s 6 foot 6 and up drafted and active for a season that threw for 3000+ yards

    betting the former has a greater percentage, despite having less desirable physical traits due to the ability to make throws.

    Why is 6’6 a thing? Did I miss something?

    That’s not the ideal height for a QB. Or are y’all talking about outliers on both ends?

    sorry! Was picking outliers on both ends obviously not ideal. neither are in the mean for quarterbacks.

    definitely agree Bryce is undersized, he’s my pick if we go QB this year, otherwise happy to go with Anderson.

    Gotcha.
    Yeah, Young would be my pick too if we go QB. I wouldn’t be mad at Levis or Richardson if we traded down a couple picks. I just don’t want Stroud at all.

    Bryce Young just dropped probably about 2 spots today.

    I'll be extremely happy if Colts trade 2 1st rounders to get up to #1 and draft AR. Texans can then draft between Anderson or Young...hopefully Anderson.

    Am I missing something?

    cj stroud is getting joe burrow/Jared Goff comps

    and Bryce young is getting compared to a more advanced Kyler Murray/ Russell Wilson???

    give me the next potential joe burrow over the midget qb that can’t play and process in structure anyday

    This is a horrid take.


    Young's processing is elite, in and out of structure. His ability to navigate the pocket is elite. If we're comparing Stroud to Burrow, you have to compare Young to Brees.

    They measured Young from the top of his hair not his head -- so his true height is 5' 8".

    Plus, he was wearing gogo boots, so he's likely 5'5".

    pocket passers still win super bowls

    I’ve seen 3 different nfl draft profiles for Bryce young

    One comp was to Kyler Murray, another was to Russell Wilson and another was to jalen hurts

    these running qbs can only win when they are on there rookie contracts, when you pay these guys and ask them to lead your team to a Super Bowl like mahomes and Brady they can’t do it

    on the other hand I have also seen 3 draft profiles for cj stroud. One was to joe burrow, another was to Goff and another was to Tony romo

    give me stroud, it just feels like Bryce young’s size and potential injury concerns are setting up a coach to get fired

    He hates Stroud. Doesn’t think he has any upside.

    I wonder if this is true and if he let his hair grow out?

    You need some new websites my dude.


    Bryce Young compares more favorably to a Brees-type.

    Stroud compares favorably to a much better version of Goff, or even a Dak Prescott.

    Those are the high end comparisons, imo.

    Passing on The Stroud of Turin will haunt the Texans for all eternity.
