“He’s Clearly No. 1 For Me” – Chris Simms On CJ Stroud | 03/21/23

The only college quarterback he’s ever predicted right is Lamar Jackson and even a broken clock is right twice a day and he was certain that Zach Wilson was a can’t miss prospect
Many wide receivers from Ohio where injured half the time.
Watch Stroud’s tape. I don’t give a damn if 3 Calvin Johnson’s were out there, a lot of the throws he drops in a bucket, most QBs won’t even try. Guys won’t even look open at all and he’ll just drop it where only they can get it.
Maybe Stroud ends up the best but I aint taking an OSU QB #1. At some point u gotta question why QBs from there consistently look better in college than the pros. Id have less regrets taking Bryce and him busting than Stroud busting
I just don't like smaller QBs and it's not that they can't be successful there are many examples but I'm not taking a smaller QB with the 1st pick
I hate OSU…..so for me to agree with Chris on this is saying something. I too think that Stroud will have more success at the next level. Bryce is a stud but the size could be a real problem down the line. There's a reason tom brady was able to play til 45 and scrambling QBs like Vick, Cam, etc….don't make it much past 30

It's very odd that coaches are concerned about Bryce's frame because it's prone to injury and he's actually injured from a football hit ? It's literally like looking to buy a truck saying I hope it's frame can take off roading while the truck is jacked up being fixed because it WAS taken off roading and the axle broke, would you buy it or buy the truck next to it that's bigger more sturdy and no issues ?
Stroud's height and arm strength separate him from Young. Young has adequate arm strength, but he doesn't have a cannon. Stroud has the strength to stretch the field even when his feet are not in the ideal throwing position.
I love a QB that can escape pressure and create things on the run with the best of them , but I also know how rare it is to see somebody throw with the accuracy that Stroud throws . It seems to me he could make average receivers look good and good receivers look great . Then I hear that he did just that when his best receivers got injured at OSU, and they kept on trucking.
How can the Panthers pass that up for Kyler Murray 2.0?
Simms—from my brain to his lips
Stroud makes throws that very few qb's will attempt, like that laser thrown from his 18 to Georgia's 44 ,a rope.
Joe had chase and Justin Jefferson in college 😂… stop saying CJ had great WRs
Alot of irrelevant nonsense here. Neither are a GM in the league. No one knows who is going where. How speculation can be taken seriously enough to make a show of is beyond me.
Will Levis is just as good as CJ Stroud. What is this guy talking about? Pats or Lions would be absolute great fits for Will Levis by the way.
It wouldn't even be a question right now if Stroud had the whole 1st team at his disposal all season. People wanna say "next man up" but you just don't turn around and replace an injured Jackson Smith-Njigba, Miyan Williams, TreVeyon Henderson, Joe Royer or even the plays that were prepared for Evan Pryor. People can hate on it all they want, but the fact is CJ played that last 1/3 of the season with 2nd and 3rd string talent. plus Fleming and Egbuka catching with shoulders so bad they ended up needing surgery. If you think that GA game was impressive, imagine that with his 1st teamers healthy. How successful would the other QBs be if you handicapped them the same way? It seems like an obvious no-brainer.
I agree an my team Carolina gonna be great keep pounding
So was Zach Wilson lol…
If the Colts can get Lamar Jackson for a #1 pick and #2 pick this year, they should definitely do it! They're going to spend that #1 pick on one of the college guys anyway, so the only premium for Jackson is that #2 pick. That's a bargain; go for it!!
Dan needed to retire 10 years ago. I hope those dorky stooges he had in the studio went and finally got a job by now, I haven’t watched in over ten years. Phil’s entitled kid needs to ditch that little boys barber shop haircut.
Why do everyone keep saying Tlaw and Zach Wilson were close? It wasn’t. Everyone knew Tlaw was going #1. CJ and Bryce this year is fucken close!
Chris picked Matt Corral round 3 Panthers picked last year as the best quarterback and it's not even close. CJ Stoud is the Carolina Panthers #1 pick this year and it's not even close.
Good receivers or not he puts the ball into the guys hand perfectly and contested throws
