it's definitely not healthy... Look what it did to Vader.

I know his combine weight was inflated but most scouts have Young at 190. So yeah Murray as 17 pounds on him before Young adds any weight after his rookie year. 14 pounds can be added that quickly, 24 or 34 would be a tough task for anyone. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10073266-nfl-exec-says-bryce-youngs-weight-was-manufactured-for-the-combine-ahead-of-draft However, one AFC front-office executive told Dan Pompei of The Athletic that Young's weight was "manufactured" for the event. "His weight was manufactured for the combine, then his agents didn't allow him to get weighed at his pro day," the anonymous executive said. "He's a 185- to 190-pound guy frame-wise." Numerous scouts told Pompei that Young weighed about 190 pounds when they visited Tuscaloosa.

Murray at 207 has AT LEAST 30 pounds? You are so extreme it becomes comical. So Bryce is what under 170? He is thin for a QB but I expect him to put on weight.

Yeah this always confuses me too. I keep reading Brees was WAY taller. Brees was 6 foot and 1/4, Russ was 5 foot 10 and 5/8, Kyler was the exact same height. The funny thing is Caleb might not be 6 foot. USC has him listed as 6 foot and 1 inch, but I keep reading it's more like 6 foot even or possible a little smaller. The whole narrative has to be adjusted to make us look worse (which I mean it isn't necessary we screwed up plenty as a team). Young was the same height as a recent top pick, most people had Young as QB1, the Texans wanted Young and inquired about trading up to 1 for him. It's turning into Young was the shortest ever and we reached like crazy for him because Tepper made us.

Just saying don’t come down so hard on Smitty like that. A lot of people had Young as QB1.

You wanted us to take Bryce.

Young was QB1 on a lot of boards. Some people are just wanting to rewrite history around here.

Said he is a slot WR???

$20 million this year limits us to a degree. I agree with the franchise bungling comment though.

Which years we absorb certain amounts. We can manipulate all of that more in a longer term contract.

Wouldn’t tagging him for two years eat up a chunk of an extension without the flexibility??

Yep. Let it happen naturally. Either Bryce develops or leads up to a top pick.

It's a good debate and it's what makes this a hot topic. Both views can be right and both have good points. My final view is if the right trade is there take it IE the Baltimore trade. If not, tag or try to extend if you can get a deal similar to the Sweat deal. There are several variables to consider. We just need a replacement plus capital if we trade him IMO.

I mean CMC benched himself with injuries to not get hurt. Players do this all the time. He was just honest about it. So are we trading about Brown because of this rebuild? Or are you wanting to hold on to some talent. I just don't want to see people crying about Burns like they have been with Moore and CMC if he and traded and plays well.

People seem to love change which I get because our team hasn't been performing, but we have traded away some real talent lately for bad returns. At some point you have to retain some talent plus add new pieces to build a complete roster.

His job is to pressure the QB which is does. Our offense always playing from behind giving him way less chances to make a game saving play isn't really on him as much as it is on our entire team. I just know watching that game he missed (Bears game I believe) our pass rush was nonexistent and it was frustrating. I'd love to see him with another decent edge on the line.

I'd be down for a trade like this. https://lastwordonsports.com/nfl/2024/01/31/brian-burns-trade-ravens-panthers/ Hypothetical Trade We’d Love to See: EDGE Brian Burns for 2024 first-round pick, 2025 third-round pick and EDGE David Ojabo Ojabo can replace Burns in the lineup, we get a first and a future 3rd.

I mean there aren't many opportunities for a sack to completely change the outcome of a game. Especially with how terrible our offense has been playing. A sack puts the other team's offense in a bad spot. It's up to our team and coaches to take advantage of that afterwards.

I could see that. I mean the Rams seem to be a well ran organization and were willing to give up a lot for him?

The draft is tough for pass rushers even if we use a premium pick (which will also cost some money). Is there a FA we can get at a decent price?

I saw our game without him this year there was 0 pressure. It was awful. He is disruptive as a pass rusher, I mean he just had 12.5 sacks the prior year…
