    I'll take CJ too, just because he's a Texan. What fan bets against their home team? Plus, I think CJ has the better arm talent.

    Literally no scout thinks Stroud has a better arm than Maye.
    And that’s not a knock on Stroud.
    Maye has an elite arm and can throw off platform/on the run with different arm angles. Stroud is a classic thrower, he doesn’t change slots or throw on the run very well……yet.

    And it was a simple question, or course I want Stroud to be elite. But the reality is he’s not anywhere close to the talent Maye is physically. Completely different physical abilities

    $1000? We both send @Clutch $1000 by end of the week. Payout in the future?

    odds, what are you thinking as you think Maye is a superstar prospect?

    You’re the one that proposed the deal, Maye isn’t even in the league yet so he’s a long shot. What are the odds?

    Uh oh! Somebody's been running their mouth since April and now doesn't have the balls to back it up.

    If you’re talking about me, I’ll drop as much as you want.
    I didn’t make the call out though, odds are up to the initiator.

    I told ya the odds.

    you’ve got this riding
    - a blue chip prospect (meant to go too 2, huge season last)
    - you’re also going against the worst QB school in history, who has zero upside.

    Yall are going to need a whole bunch of different criteria, and a formula to distill them down into a rankable number, to accurately determine who is better and over what timeframe. I look forward to yall hashing this out, please keep us posted.

    You made the offer.
    House (you) gives the odds, you expect Stroud to be good meaning Stroud is essentially the favorite. The favorite doesn’t have even money or a 1-1 bet.
    Maye has more risk to get in the league, anything can happen in a year.

    So, what are the odds?

    I'll play the house.

    Yall need to figure some **** out, and you are all being very silly.

    Who do I get to bet against? Or for? We will set odds later.

    Y’all should make a bet who makes a pro bowl first.

    Nothing changed, I will bet whatever amount anyone wants. But I’m not doing it for free, he made the proposal.
    If he’s so confident, put odds up.

    That could be a somewhat logical bet.
