Young's film showcases his athletic prowess as a smaller, twitchy quarterback. Because college football idiotically counts sacks against a quarterback's rushing yardage, classic statistics hardly ever tell the story of how good of a runner a quarterback is. Young is not quite Kyler Murray athletically, but there were Murrayian moments of stellar suddenness while improvising and deceptive speed in space.

An explosive athletic profile or bazooka arm can quickly be rendered useless if ball placement is erratic. AccuracyĪccuracy is still king at the quarterback position. To give more layers to the debate, let's run through each category and pick which quarterback, Young or Stroud, has the advantage right now. In my scouting grade book, I evaluate quarterbacks on the following categories (listed in order of importance and weight): Accuracy, Athleticism, Arm Strength, Pocket Management, and Field Reading. Before the start of their respective 2022 seasons, it feels like the draft community is split on the reigning Heisman winner from Alabama and Ohio State's budding star passer. Stroud debate will rage on from now until the 2023 NFL Draft and through their hyped careers as professionals.
Prepare yourselves, because the Bryce Young vs.
