I would say that he is maybe 4-5 years away from that. I'm betting it would be a very exciting 5 years.
When Carter left the scene of a severe accident where people he knew were involved, that was a pretty good indicator of what type of person he is. No matter how talented, call me skeptical he'll ever reach his potential. He's young and perhaps he has an epiphany, but he's went from potential #1 or at least Top 5 pick to who knows where he slips. A team like Philly with strong vets and a former GA teammate could gamble on him at #10. That is probably the right kind of situation to turn him around, but he's going to have to get his sh_t together soon. Whoever his agent is needs to get off his ass. As tempting as he could be at #12, I'd have to pass. Coach Ryans is looking for people who want to be great, JC doesn't seem to want that.
Exactly, this is the most important job interview he will ever have, and he comes in 9 lbs heavier than the combine and can't even finish his drills......and on top of that didn't participate in other drills. Major red flags........this young man is going to drop come draft day. You had one friggin job man, be in shape and ready to roll today SMH
First, I haven’t seen a photo in a sleeveless shirt so I don’t know. Second, the discussion was never about taking punishment but the fact that someone of Young’s measurable could be successful in the NFL. I pointed out, factually, that someone with his measurable has been very successful and has taken a team to the SB. Don’t remember muscles being a requirement for being a QB.
First, this idea that the Carolina traded multiple assets to move up to #1 and don't know who they want to take is complete bullshit and it is insulting. However, lets assume that IS the case and Carolina doesn't know - what an incredibly stupid group of decision makers. "Well we don't know who we want, but damnit, we are trading assets to move up to take someone." Ask the 49ers how well that worked out. Counting on 1-2 good future starting QB's at the very top of the draft is really a stretch...... banking on a cluster of really good QB's in one draft and then picking one like shooting fish in a barrel is STUPID........ like dumber than Cal McNair stupid - I think.
Drew Sanders most likely won’t fall to the second so it’ll have to be Trenton Simpson if we go LB there Would be a huge turnaround in one year though.
How does Stroud have no upside? He is an underrated athlete that can move in the pocket. He throws a very good deep ball and he is accurate and has touch. He also usually makes good reads too.... and he excelled against good competition. He checks off basically every box for what is needed to be a good QB - and the difference between good and great is effort, discipline and luck. I don't see Andrew Luck type apparent talent, but what is Luck doing now? Stroud has as good a chance as just about any of the quarterbacks coming out.
Honestly curious why you don’t like him. Couldn’t agree more. Strouds upside is actually quite strong if he’s surrounded by good talent. Kids accuracy is unmatched.
Stroud is a very average athlete imo. He’s terrible under pressure, I mean really bad. And he only performed against Georgia. He didn’t perform well against consistent good competition. It’s hard to know how accurate he is, he had far more wide open targets to throw to than any of the other top guys
I actually didn’t mean to tag you on that, but to respond. If he can do it once, then he can do it. Watch his last two games against Michigan and Georgia. It’s not hard to fathom him being the best guy of the group. I don’t understand the physical upside part. He has a great arm. Reportedly runs a 4.7 40 which is the same caliber as Josh Allen/Aaron Rogers and faster than Mahomes/Burrow. Any physical complaints are just false claims imo.
He’s not the athlete Allen/Mahomes/Rodgers or Burrow is. He’s not quick, agile, powerful or elite in anyway physically. He has one game where he was able to move around when forced. The rest of his games he was a statue and routinely run down by DTs. Any claims of him being a mobile or even remotely decent athlete are just false hopes
The thing with Young has always been about can his small frame handle the punishment that comes with being a NFL QB. I'm sure he's a great QB but his size, as mentioned before, scares the hell out of some teams.
This guy is not an athlete. Short area burst is almost nonexistent. Mills is the perfect comparison athletically, and Mills will guaranteed have better timed results.
I understand completely. Again, he has proven he can be successful in the land of giants by playing in the conference which provides the most players to the NFL. Does that mean he will be successful in the NFL, of course not. On the flip side, his size doesn’t mean he won’t be successful.
I dunno how you can say this for certain. He went to jail for basically 2 years. If he was playing football that whole time you never know if he could have won.
