Of the Top 4 QBs, I like how AR comes off the best. He just seems genuine and not rehearsed. As a fan, I've always loved QBs with big arms and some ability to run. I truly hate drafting a QB at #2, but if Texans believe one of these guys is the future, then so be it. I'm starting to lean AR or Levis if we take a QB, don't really want Stroud and afraid of BY's size--just my opinion.
The inaccuracy doesn’t concern you? Unless there is clear flaw mechanics it’s seems like it’s always going to be an issue.
To be clear, I'm not a fan of any of these QBs. I'd go defense with #2 and maybe #12 (or TE). However, my personal taste is for the physical talents of Richardson and Levis. Yes, both of these kids have flaws, but footwork, throwing mechanics, reading defenses, etc. can be coached and developed. There is much larger upside with these two prospects and that's what makes them intriguing if we have to have a QB this year. You can't grow BY by 4-5" or dramatically change his slight frame. I've tried to like Stroud, but just can't get into his game and picking DW as his role model was well the last straw for me.
If not Bryce, I'd be willing to take Anderson at 2 and trade back up for Richardson. Dude is a lottery ticket, but this franchise needs to gamble. I'll be honest. Richardson has presented really well. He's going to take the leap that I thought Levis would. Throwing and testing will go a long way to separating one from the other. My opinion has changed on Richardson.
So Young is identical to Kyler Murray, another number 1 pick. Exactly the same height and Murray weighed 207.
From what I keep hearing the continued knock on AR is the accuracy, and that is a problem in the NFL where the windows are tight.
It is. People seem more forgiving in this due to the Josh Allen effect. Richardson just measured in at the same height (ish), heavier, with bigger hands than Allen. Not sure about the other measurables, but I would assume that Richardson will test better athletically than Allen. On top of that, Rick Spielman says he thinks Richardson is more accurate coming into the draft than Cam, a former number one pick. Richardson's biggest knock, to me, is lack of experience. He should/would sit for at least 10 games to a year. He compares very favorably to Cam.
I like him but coach was talking about YAC and I’m not sure he is a YAC guy from what I saw in college but I guess that could be the way tcu used him
Much better arm talent. Much better ability to navigate the pocket. Much better leader. These are not the same guys. They're close on measurables, which was the point, I believe.
Young does not have better arm talent than Murray, he has better accuracy. Leadership and pocket awareness are for sure in Young’s favor.
Young has better arm talent. Arm talent does not equal arm strength. Young's arm talent is similar to some of the top QBs in the league. It has been covered by multiple online evaluators. I've seen it mentioned with Mahomes by a few people. The thing that Young has that separates him from Murray the most, is what can't be measured. Passion, drive, and leadership.
Not a single person has compared Young’s arm talent to Mahomes. Stop that. They’ve compared his improv ability. Young has a good arm, but nothing about it is anywhere near Mahomes. Stop with the hyperbole
