In the first round of the 2023 NFL draft, the Carolina Panthers selected quarterback Bryce Young, the Houston Texans drafted quarterback CJ Stroud, and the Indianapolis Colts selected quarterback Anthony Richardson. These three athletes have the potential to be legendary players in the league, and at TSD, we were intrigued by the possibilities of the future of the these quarterbacks. We decided to put our latest internet sensation, ChatGPT, to the test, to see if it could accurately predict how well each would fare in the NFL.
ChatGPT took on the role of an Artificial Intelligence (AI), and assumed the role as General Manager of a mythical team, The AI Drivers. Based on the college statistics and combine performance of the three quarterbacks, ChatGPT predicted the outcome of their respective careers.
ChatGPT predicted that Bryce Young will have a solid NFL career, playing for 12 seasons, leading the Panthers to the playoffs five times and winning one Super Bowl in his eighth season. He earns five Pro Bowl selections before switching teams and signing with the Arizona Cardinals as a free agent.
ChatGPT also projected that CJ Stroud will have an impressive career, playing for 14 seasons in the NFL. He becomes “the face of the Texans franchise” and leads them to the playoffs six times. In his 9th season, Stroud wins the Super Bowl and is named Super Bowl MVP, earning six Pro Bowl selections over his career.
Finally, Anthony Richardson’s career is predicted to be marred by inconsistency and unfulfilled potential. He faces injuries and coaching changes early in his career, and after five seasons with the Colts, is traded to the Chicago Bears. He signs with the Jacksonville Jaguars as a free agent, and is relegated to a backup role before retiring after a season with the team.
These predictions may cause the Texans and Panthers to reconsider their draft picks. The Texans still may have drafted Stroud, given his Hall of Fame predictions, while the Panthers may have considered Stroud if they had known the outcomes. Nevertheless, Young’s durability issues would remain a concern for them. On the other hand, the Colts would likely have chosen differently, as Richardson’s career ended up being less successful compared to the other two quarterbacks.
ChatGPT made a bold prediction that CJ Stroud will have a Hall of Fame career and become one of the best quarterbacks of his era. Texans fans could be in for an incredible ride if this prediction holds true. Colts fans, however, may have to face the reality that Richardson’s career may never reach its full potential.
