    I think CJ will be fine within the tenets of the Shanny WC offense it will take a little time to get it clicking. I think some of the vitriol is unwarranted and falls under the individual preference part of fandom. Hopefully he works hard and makes the nonbelievers support him.

    I used to watch a bunch of fiIm on CJ. He's gifted with a great arm and the ability to fit the ball into places the other guys cant - and do it routinely. That is the biggest prerequisite for the intermediate passing game this offense will try to roll out.

    Personally I was just hoping to bum rush the league with an RPO attack from hell. CJ fits the pocket passer mold so many wanted - some of the attacks are just fans venting and coping with the pick best way they can. It is what it is now - time to find some playmakers to throw to.

    I think CJ is good enough to run RPO QB runs a few times a game just to keep the league honest. He isn't a bad athlete and his speed is similar to Burrow, Rodgers, etc. He is a better athlete than given credit for.

    I can see why people love AR. Going to be really cool to play him 2x a year.

    What a challenge for Demeco.

    Lol this is absolutely ridiculous, all of the sudden the entire NFL is racist against white people for not taking Levis is the first round. At this point it clear you were starry eyed on what a typical NFL QB looks like, unfortunately the whole league disagreed with your assessment.

    I dont know. I dont believe in playing guys outside of their comfort zones. While he may be able to do it a few times a game, thats not who he is and I'd rather not expose him to unnecessary hits.

    Watching CJ press conference, he seems like a really good kid that will be easy to root for. Seems very no nonsense and focused on ball.

    You really shouldn’t say anything without knowing what you’re talking about, it makes you look dumb.

    That poster literally said we don’t want a white QB, on these forums.
    So please, stay in your lane on this one

    He also isn’t the same athlete Burrow and specially a young Rodgers was, like the poster was saying.
    Mac Jones is probably a good comp, with a much better arm

    you’ve been pumping Levis and talking **** about Stoud for months. Levis is garbage that wasn’t taken in the first round and had a ton of shitty film everyone saw. Everyone on the board knows all the passive aggressive things you’ve said about Stroud and what you meant.

    STFU kid, if you’re consigning with that racist then fcck you too lol.
    I don’t like Stroud, Levis is a far superior physical talent. But so is AR who I would have taken, and my QB1 was Bryce who would be the only guy I would take at 2.

    So I’m not going to let you or anyone else play the race card because I don’t like Stroud the player. Specially not when you’re co-signing with a guy that is actually racist.
    So you can eat a d1ck

    No I was not. I said he earned the shot after the last 6 games of his rookie season. Which he did, he looked good. But he failed.

    And don’t walk back your insinuations now, keep playing the race card and co-signing with a racist. Let’s me know who the idiots are

    I unblocked you and you are still defending Levis.

    Have you watched any tape of these guys. There is a reason Levis didn't go in the first round. I said he wasn't pretty sternly.... WHY? Because NFL teams are asking themselves... what does he actually do well?

    He looks good with a shirt off. Who cares.

    CJ has sneaky athleticism. From my time reading and watching him he wanted to establish himself as a pocket passer which was the style that many felt contributed to winning football. He will do fine - this OL is good enough to keep him clean. He needs REAL playmakers to throw to though. What we have is not good enough.

    I’ve watched more tape than you, that’s a guarantee. Out of all of that, you got I was defending Levis?
    Why do you hate him? It’s getting weird.
    In fact, just go ahead and put me back on ignore. I’ll do the same, it’s embarrassing watching you deepthroat a young man online in Stroud.

    Sneaky I agree. But not anywhere close to Burrow or Rodgers-specially a young Rodgers.
    He’s Mac Jones level athlete who surprises people when they doesn’t expect it. But isn’t going to be a big threat on designed runs

    You insinuated it, the reason I was down on Stroud.
    And once again for your slow ass, that poster LITERALLY said don’t draft White Levis, no one wants a white QB.
    So you can either check him or stfu

    Thats probably the best kind of guy to have on 3rd down situations though dont you think? A guy that the defense wont expect to run, but can. I dont need him to bust out long gainers like AR would, but get that first down and regroup for the next set of downs - I think he can do that.

    Absolutely, it’s the guys you don’t expect.
    The kid has ability, I don’t see massive upside like the top guys in the league but I think we can win with him
