I like both honestly. I side with the bigger player for the most part, but I like Young alot too. He makes the easy throws look easy and fundamental. I also like how he keeps 2 hands on the ball inside the pocket. I like Stroud because he throws effortlessly . People will talk about the big windows he has and that's true, but that's every college qb in america.
Bienemy, Klint Kubiak, somebody like that who know what a good offense looks like. Even if one of them are drafted under Lovie and he's let go after next season, the next coach will have to evaluate the qb. If McDaniels would've said Tua was a bum, they would've moved on, but he's been in Tua's corner and his scheme is taking advantage of the short and medium accuracy of Tua. I'm not going to blame Pep for Mills being captain check down. He was fine with Herbert a couple of seasons ago. Now Lovie and the way he like to play modern football is another issue.Just curious, since we seem to be on the same page, who would you suggest for (if drafted by Texans) to coach them to their fullest potential.
What if the opportunity is there but a long term answer isn't there for different reasons? Do you make the pick and hope your new midget QB can beat the odds, or that Stroud isn't another in a long line of Ohio State busts. I don't think he looked good against Penis St. or Northwestern. Imagine when he doesn't have a huge talent advantage how bad he's gonna lookIt’s inevitable. Could be moved to main forum post draft if Texans select one in the draft and we compare them throughout their rookie season just like “Derek Stingley vs Sauce Gardner” thread. You know what camp I’m in you know what camp SteelbTexan is on but let’s discuss. In the end, it’s just important that we decide/select one of them when the opportunity is there. Have at it
Or orgs choose not to deal with except in very rare circumstances.Wish we could just focus on the football and not outside forces that do come into play when evaluating draft prospects and current NFL players but they do exist as part of equation so we need to get this out of way first (even though it will remain a constant area of concern for some). That is, the agent representing player.

Get use to it, just business. Too offensive for some but just nature of beast to most. These businesses decisions should not impact “player on field” success or failure, just something professional organizations deal with on everyday business.
Mike Kalfka/Josh McCown/Alex SmithJust curious, since we seem to be on the same page, who would you suggest for (if drafted by Texans) to coach them to their fullest potential.
Thanks for posting. His review pretty much matches what I've been thinking. Hopefully NC will not have to select a QB this yearSome decent takeaways from the guy in this video.
Alex Smith?Mike Kalfka/Josh McCown/Alex Smith
I like the guy, he always has good mechanics and I think he would make it fine QB coach.Alex Smith?
I thought you were talking for HC or OCI like the guy, he always has good mechanics and I think he would make it fine QB coach.
Or orgs choose not to deal with except in very rare circumstances.
Who would want to have to deal with DM if 2 prospects are close to even. Just another reason to pick Young over Stroud. Have you noticed that some mocks have Stroud falling to #10? There's a few reasons for that.
I like Hooker better than either of these QB’s. His numbers for 2022 have happened while being sacked 22 times. He’s the #2 QB stats wise in the nation.
The QB really worth watching, UNC Freshman QB, Drake Maye. He’s 6-4 at 220 lbs as a Redshirt Freshman and sits near the top of the QB rankings while also getting sacked 26 times so far. He could be a very nice target come the 2024 NFL Draft.
Sack avoidance not a metric of concern?
Drake Maye not being in this QB class is very disappointing. I almost hope we suck just as bad next year for him assuming we don’t screw up and pick one this year
While I may not be as jaded as some on this forum I don’t see one of the most coveted coaching candidates coming here even in that situation. I think at best we can hope to grab one of the more average candidates and make it work from there.He Red Shirted in 2021. This is his Freshman season. 2023 at UNC. 2024 NFL Draft. If he performs in the same manner in 2023.....he's probably the top pick in 2024. Keep everyone on offense in place and fix the defense in the 2023 NFL Draft. Put up another stinker but competitive season and there's a very good chance Caserio could be in a position to make Drake Maye and Sean Payton Texans in 2024.
I honestly didn’t expect Parcels to work for Jerah, but that happened. So who knows?While I may not be as jaded as some on this forum I don’t see one of the most coveted coaching candidates coming here even in that situation.

Haha that’s before my time but I’m sure stranger things have happened. I know it’s not possible but really wish I could get an unfiltered temperature check on what the rest of the league thinks of Houston in terms of job quality.I honestly didn’t expect Parcels to work for Jerah, but that happened. So who knows?
Unless he decides to stay in school like Peyton did...He Red Shirted in 2021. This is his Freshman season. 2023 at UNC. 2024 NFL Draft.

Houston doesn't have 5 Lombardi Championships in the display case... and Cal ain't no JerrahI honestly didn’t expect Parcels to work for Jerah, but that happened. So who knows?
Jerry Jones is not a good owner either. Better than Cal so far but that’s a low barHouston doesn't have 5 Lombardi Championships in the display case... and Cal ain't no Jerrah
But in 2002/3 he looked much better than he does nowJerry Jones is not a good owner either. Better than Cal so far but that’s a low bar
A good career backup much like Colt McCoyHope the op doesn't mind if I throw another hat int the ring.
What's the thoughts about Stetson Bennett, Georgia?

Doesn't change the fact that "everybody" was shocked that Parcels agreed to work for him.Jerry Jones is not a good owner either. Better than Cal so far but that’s a low bar
They weren't shocked he went to work for Jerry Jones they were shocked because no one believed he'd come out of retirement again after 4 yearsDoesn't change the fact that "everybody" was shocked that Parcels agreed to work for him.

QB Bryce Young, Alabama to the Houston Texans
On the football field, there are many similarities between Young and former Texan Deshaun Watson — the Alabama quarterback just possesses the kind of uncoachable playmaking ability and unshakable mentality you'd want to build a franchise around.
Even after losing two receivers drafted in the top 50 and a left tackle drafted in the top 10, Young’s performance has barely taken a hit. He's earned an 89.7 overall grade through Week 11, sixth among 76 Power Five quarterbacks.
These next 5.5 months are gonna be unbearable huh
This will be unbearable in a very different way thoughHow is that different than the previous 24?
We should be used to it.
In 2002 Jerry wasn't known as such a GM minded owner was he?I was pretty shocked that he went to work for Jerry. Parcells was one of those first HCs who wanted to be the GM, too. And for Jerry, being GM was his way of playing real life Madden as an owner.
I didn't see them getting along or agreeing on anything.
I thought he was.In 2002 Jerry wasn't known as such a GM minded owner was he?
yeah I just don't rememberI thought he was.
That’s the way I remembered it. “Nobody” thought Parcels would work for Jerrah because of the control he would want That Jerrah wouldn’t give
I love Young, he's everything you could ask for in a football player from leadership and intangibles. But you can't make him bigger - it's not the 5'11'/5'10' thing he can overcome that (most likely) the dude is thin. I worry he will get broken in the NFL - he is basically Doug Flutie sized.
Always the Texans luck, when they suck, the QB gods say 'not this year'.
Don’t worry. We should suck next year too.
And we have an extra first to move up.
