O come on… this is like saying Bryce young is better than Tom Brady… you don’t have to want him on the team or pick him at 2, but a 3rd round grade?? Based on what? Because size is no issue in a pro day, so you really think he just sucks? Cool.
I think the Texans are in good shape with either Young, or Stroud. The only bad idea would be to trade significant assets to secure one, or the other.
[Educational Post] Nick and Demeco are employees. Cal McNair is the owner. The owner is in charge. Cal got burned by an immature QB... which then led to numerous people losing their jobs and the Texans battling a public relations nightmare with certain disgruntled players... Cal doesn't want another immature QB leading his team. Nothing against CJ or Bryce, but they are very young and have many mistakes to make as a part of their maturation process. Nick Caserio is on the hot seat and may not survive another horrible season. Think these guys want to gamble on a rookie QB? Nope. ....but this is just what I'm hearing at the Mens Grill at River Oaks CC. I'm sure your sources are better! GOOD DAY
Lol yea the make believe SAUCES in your head. Tommy Boy might sign the checks but he’s clueless. Nick and Meco are making these moves and are doing a decent job this offseason. Bryce will be the qb next year so deal with it
Make no mistake Cal will be making the decision on pick 1-2. Just like his daddy did. Of course Hannah will probably be behind the scenes making the call.

https://www.pff.com/news/draft-ranking-quarterback-prospects-since-2020-joe-burrow-trevor-lawrence TIER 1 JOE BURROW, LSU (2020 PFF BIG BOARD RANK: 1) TREVOR LAWRENCE, CLEMSON (2021 PFF BIG BOARD RANK: 1) Tier 1 was pretty easy. After Burrow’s record-setting 2019 college football season, no one was touching him on the PFF big board that year. His confidence and control during that campaign were truly among the best we’ve ever seen, as evidenced by his 94.5 passing grade, 40 big-time throws and 81.9% adjusted completion percentage. Lawrence’s numbers weren’t as good, but, to some, his physical traits gave him an even higher ceiling. For as good as some of these other quarterbacks have been since being drafted, Burrow and Lawrence complete Tier 1 from a prospect perspective. TIER 2 BRYCE YOUNG, ALABAMA (2023 PFF BIG BOARD RANK: 1) TUA TAGOVAILOA, ALABAMA (2020 PFF BIG BOARD RANK: 2) JUSTIN FIELDS, OHIO STATE (2021 PFF BIG BOARD RANK: 3) C.J. STROUD, OHIO STATE (2023 PFF BIG BOARD RANK: 5) All four of these quarterbacks present franchise-type ability. Young is seen as QB1 in this upcoming class. The only thing really holding him back from being in Tier 1 after back-to-back elite offensive grades in 2021 and 2022 are the concerns over his measurables as one of the smaller quarterbacks of the past 20 years. Tagovailoa was similar to Young in that both had incredible numbers as pocket passers in Alabama’s offense. As for the two Ohio State quarterbacks, Fields’ athletic ability was automatically going to make him a first-round player, but his improvement from the pocket in his final season of college ball vaulted him into the top 10. The same can be said for Stroud, who struggled with pressure during most of his time as a two-year starter but really improved in that area to close out his college career. All four players were and will be good bets to make with early picks. They each posted back-to-back elite offensive grades in their final two seasons as starters in college, with Fields having the highest cumulative grade (94.1). TIER 3 ZACH WILSON, BYU (2021 PFF BIG BOARD RANK: 2) WILL LEVIS, KENTUCKY (2023 PFF BIG BOARD RANK: 4) ANTHONY RICHARDSON, FLORIDA (2023 PFF BIG BOARDRANK: 6) TREY LANCE, NDSU (2021 PFF BIG BOARD RANK: 10) MAC JONES, ALABAMA (2021 PFF BIG BOARD RANK: 13) JUSTIN HERBERT, OREGON (2020 PFF BIG BOARD RANK: 30) Tier 3 is sort of the “high ceiling, low floor and also Mac Jones” group. Wilson, Levis, Richardson, Lance and Herbert all have incredible arms, and because of this, none of them made it out of the top 10; it feels that trend will continue with Levis and Richardson in 2023. Each came with alluring, other-worldly physical gifts, but each also had their concerns. Herbert wasn’t really a takeover passer consistently, Lance barely had any starting experience, Wilson came from an offense that looked like a video game, while Levis and Richardson both struggled with ball placement and accuracy with those cannon arms. As for Jones, his skill set doesn’t really line up with the rest of the group, but as the 15th overall pick (and a player who got some hype for the top 3), and a player who finished the 2020 Alabama season with a 95.7 passing grade, it would feel disingenuous to bump him any lower than this, even with a lower trait ceiling.
A bit strange, not because of Stroud/Young, but because of all the other players they could have seen at Bama/OSU pro day. I assume there were multiple Texans scouts there, so whatever. They'll have much time with both/any QBs when they do team visits.
