I’d rather sign Minshew and take a chance on a 2nd or 3rd round QB this year. I’m not sold on Young or Stroud as NFL QB’s. Neither Bama or OSU have produced quality NFL starting QB’s despite being top programs with superstar talent.
Mac Jones looked like he would break that his rookie year but has lost his job to Zappe. Hurts has been the best QB from either Bama or OSU and even he isn’t a great passer but he is a great athlete. Levis may be good but he’s struggled and I wouldn’t consider him a sure thing. I think some of the later QB’s may wind up being better than the top 2.
I'm down to roll with someone like Minshew while we wait for the 2024 QB class, which looks to be super promising. I do think Bryce Young is the real deal if he can stay healthy, but he won't be in reach for us this year. Aside from his escapability, he throws with great anticipation and his ball placement is sick.
Edit: But I also don't want our future QB coming anywhere near this current coaching staff. Hopefully we'll have cleaned house by 2024.
