Do we really have 2 years to wait on Richardson or Levi’s though?

Stroud or Young can make this team playoff contenders year 1 IMO

Very optimistic unfortunately. Somewhere I put up a post about when these marque QB's really start to demonstrate the traits that make the team theirs- yes that's a very loosely quantitative statement about converting to PO team, and it that data showed that it is generally at the last Quarter of their 2nd year. It was really great feedback reviewing I think all the top 5 drafted QB's over the last 20 years or something. Rare is the highly drafted young QB who steps on the field and transforms the bottom dwelling team.

AR 4.43, looks enormous, threw with over 60MPH velocity. Had one bad throw to the sidelines. Whhhhhew boy.

Will say Stroud has looked very very polished- looks like he has pro polish to him.

Stroud's deep ball- terrific!
Richardson has a cannon too- one hung up a little but but damn the man has a launcher.

I'd go Stroud then Richardson but I wouldn't move up to get one of them.

Good, keep it that way. No thank you to Carson Wentz 2.0.

Ballard is a measureables guy, and I think that's going to make the difference for him.

Richardson has quite the impressive set of tools, but the Colts don't have the 2 years he needs to let him sit and develop.

Stroud seems like the most Day 1 ready starter since Joe Burrow.

Does he have room to grow? Manning and Luck got better as they plaed more games. Does Stroud get better or is this as good as it gets?

I think Stroud improves the same way both of those two improved upon entering the league: by being a film junkie and learning the tendencies of opposing defenses and players and how to counter those things. He certainly has a lot to learn in that regard.

Everyone has room to grow.... it's the willingness to grow. Stroud seems to have the willingness. You are taking a chance on all of these guys. Let's hope that the coaches and our GM pair up the right QB with this team.
