I'm starting to get concerned with Fields and OSU Qbs in general.

 

I think they run their college spread offense and its clear Fields is still struggling to run a pro style offense.

 

He's not able to read a defense after a year which is why he runs so much which leads to injury.  Now, it is a little too soon to jump to conclusions about Fields, but hopefully he makes a big leap and starts throwing from the pocket more after year two.  Time will tell.

 

Dwayne Haskins had the same problem moving from the OSU spread to running a pro style offense.

 

I fear that Stroud will struggle as well.  It could be a couple of years before Stroud is any good if Fields progress is any indicator.

I thought Stroud runs a pro style offense, or is that Levis?

I think Ballard was really high on him. It’s just never a good sign when a team gives up on a young guy like that. I know I’d be asking myself what they know and why?

That's true. Remember Rosen? heheh

 

I don't know if I'd trade for him, but is worth thinking about it.

Yeah, he showed progress, but not enough for the Bears to get completely behind him (which is not a good sign). I think he will eventually become a good QB if put in the right situation, but that is nothing more than a feeling.

Levis

Looks like ballard is eyeing Stroud or Levis. So if we trade up to 1 it will probably be stroud

[Virtuoso80]

Stroud hasn't declared yet?  I believe they have to declare by Jan 16th?

What are you hearing on stroud?  I have heard about all the scouts at Levis games.

Most gain weight once in the NFL because they need to get stronger. All I can say is, look at a Pic of Hurts in college compared to now. He looked a twig in college. Emmitt at one time did bulk up to 220. He gained over 20 pounds by the time he retired. Players do that because of the pounding they take. There are a few that do lose weight but is mainly pass rushers/LB's because they rely on speed more than anything. Leonard for example has lost weight but it is rare, usually QB's, RB's always put on weight. My point to the whole subject is, Young will put on weight once he gets into pro training regiment so I am not worried about him being little.

I fully understand why some players gain weight.   What I don’t understand is your reaction to my post.   

 

Okkahoma listed him at 218.   I just looked at his Wikipedia page which shows his combine weight which was 222.   And he’s now currently listed as 223. 
 

Smith did not gain 20 pounds while in the NFL.  That would put him around 195-200 when drafted and that doesn’t seem at all logical.  
 

I don’t understand this viewpoint?

If he’s eyeing both it could just as easily be Levis.  Stroud is just your opinion.

I heard it was coming today. The NIL guy for OSU tweeted he was declaring.  Said he is going to be the first pick.

Ballard likes big 10 guys and like both their sizes. I think their target is Levis as they said they had a big meeting and they believe he will be there at 4. I think the only way they trade up is if the texans like their guy.

A meeting? I agree with you Ballard likes Big big ten guys. I wonder how the coaching hire could affect who they take. What if the new coach likes young.

It doesnt matter to me who we get as long as they look better than who we got now lol. The feel is the texans will go Young. Bill O brian developed him and he seems to play like watson. Hopefully nobody trades to 1 and changes the draft

If we draft Young it would be through irsay interference.

Pretty sure colts will be the only one trading to one if it happens. I thought bears might trade down twice but if Texans do want young they have no reason to get back up to one if they have good intel.

I feel like we are going to take Levis or Bennett

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Both Ballard and the Texans GM like bigger QB. There is a big chance young is the third QB taken. That’s why we need to get to one.

This form would melt down if we traded up to one to take Levis.

The forum would definitely melt down if we traded up to 1 for bennett lol

Cbs put out a mock draft where we trade up for Young and texans go edge and wr in the 1st.

Texans still have the 12th pick. They could do that and take Richardson.

God I hope not.

[AKB]

I don't think there's anyway to know who we take or don't take.  Absolutely guessing.  Will we take a QB? Sure.  If you go based off what QBs we have had generation success with while Irsay has been controlling things, its been Peyton and Luck.  Young, Stroud, don't fit that prototype. 

 

Levis and those type of QBs are far closer.

Horrible thought and idea. Rather have Richardson if no Young or CJ

Both the Colts and Texans still have to get a coach and get their input on it.  The new Texans coach might love Young, who knows.

 

I'm sure this is a huge part of the Colts interviewing process.  What are your thoughts on these three QBs?  What would be your plan for them?

sure, could be horrible. could be great. you have no idea and neither do I.

 

I don't care who we take TBH.  History shows its a complete gamble.  No one knows what any of these guys will turn into. 

 

if it were up to me, Levis would be off the table just based off the mayo in his coffee.  But thats me being picky.

- look at the difference between his forearms and biceps in those 2 pics, he is at least an inch thicker in the Philly jersey.

maybe we won't take a QB at all in Rd 1

 

imagine the meltdown this forum would have

No thats you being weird about something that doesn't matter.  If he can play qb at a high level, I'd don't care if he puts BBQ sauce in his coffee

Learn how to put context to your jokes.   There's enough stupidity posted on the internet that it gets to be difficult distinguishing between that and someone joking.

Call me crazy, but I've wanted Levis since the day we knew the draft order (Before, actually)...so the only thing Stroud staying in school would bother me about, is that we may have to trade up for Levis instead of staying at #4... honestly, even though people on this board seem to think he will be no good, we may have to trade up to get Levis even if Stroud IS in the draft.
