    Terrible post yet predictable,

    I dont know more than anybody else when it comes to these QB's. I've already said I wouldn't pick any of the QB's in this draft. Hope that answers your question of which QB I think in this class can win a championship.

    I think given time to put on healthy lean muscle, he could play around 200. But it won’t be soon

    You wouldn’t be winning a Super Bowl anytime soon because you would have missed on Drew Brees, Tom Brady, etc., because you’re afraid to pick anything unless it’s a sure bet. Even the sure bets like Trevor Lawrence or Andrew Luck aren’t guaranteed to win anything.

    I'm not scared to bet

    I just like next years QB class much better than this years.

    There are 3-4 that I like better.

    Although I probably would pick Bennett or Tune in the 5th. A QB depth pick. My QB room would look like this next year and I would pick a QB I really like in the 2024 draft.

    Vet FA
    Mills
    Tune

    To play devil's advocate, how many QBs over 6'6" have thrown for more than 3,000 yards in a season? I'm sure Flacco did, but who else?


    Edit: Flacco, Derek Anderson, Herbert, Scott Mitchell was listed as 6'6" but I can't find an official combine measurement.


    So that's 4, possibly three. Is that narrative about seeing over the line true, or are we just using size metrics that are outliers with small sample sizes?

    Except young’s intangibles are MUCH better than kyler. I would say he’s better than kyler in every single category except for athleticism. And they are the exact same size. I would take young over Kyler.. but like another poster said. It’s not gonna change what ppl already think.

    Dude.. he’s 5’10 and 1/8th… simple math says that’s closer to 5’11 than 5’9…

    he’s pound for pound and inch for inch the size of Kyler Murray and y’all thought he would be smaller. He’s not. So now it has to be anout how he got that heavy? Goodness the goalpost movement is ridiculous

    Are you serious?
    He’s 7/8 inch away from 5’11, he’s 3/16 inch away from 5’9.
    Stop with the madness. You only fans are nuts

    And everyone is saying the 204 is inflated, no way he’s actually at 204

    I thought he would be 5'10 195 lbs. Without his 5 lbs of water weight he carried over the last 24 hrs he's 5'10 1/8 and 199. I doubt he plays that heavy and I know for a fact players lose weight during the season.

    Ahhhh, so you are just referring to anything under 5’10.. I was thinking 5’9 flat vs 5’11 flat.. but ok, fractions only matter to fit our narratives

    The 204 is definitely inflated and why he didn't do anything else today.
    Not sure how he's closer to 5'9 though?
    Closer to being in the 5'9 and something, but not 5'9 flat.

    Apparently they do, you claimed that 1/8inch was important enough to be close to 5’11.
    The dude is closer to 5’9 than 5’11, he’s not 204 and overall he is the smallest QB to come out in the last 30+ years.

    As a QB, he’s elite. But physically he is anything but.

    No one said 5’9 flat. If you say he’s closer to 5’11 because he’s 5’10 1/8” that little fraction matters to you. He is closer to 5’9 than 5’11, that’s simple math

    Dude. It is simple math..

    1/8 = .125
    All we are saying is that 70.125 is closer to 71 than it is to 69… you are coming in and saying “well actually he’s closer to 69.99” which is true. But don’t act like the “little fraction” is all we care about…

    hell, take the 1/8 out of it.. 5’10 is JUST AS CLOSE to 5’11 as it is to 5’9.. how can you not agree here? This is weird…

    The last part is the only thing true you said. Math, you don’t round up from 1/8th. He’s 5’10, which is like you said right in the middle. But if you’re going to use that 1/8 to say it’s closer to 5’11 than it is 5’9, that’s not how it works.

    He can’t get taller.

    Holy hell dude.. we’re talking about rounding now? And we can’t go up cuz he can’t grow?? It’s effing numbers man. A number is closer to another number than a different one.. no rounding or growing just sheer distance to other number..

    but don’t forget when talking about will Levis that “65% is pretty close to 67% so we shouldn’t harp on accuracy”
    I straight up have said from the beginning that Bryce is all I want in the list of QBs in this draft. So call me an only fan if you want. But no one moves goal posts like you.

    No one is moving anything except you lol.
    Is 5’11 not a different number?
    When it comes to measurements in America, if you’re going to use fractions then it’s not just whole numbers. Or else they wouldn’t have said 5’10 1/8. I know you want him to be bigger (like a lot of his only fans) but he’s closer to being under 5’10 than he is 5’11 (is that better for you?)
