I heard he isn't running the 40.

Mahomes' playstyle is not what you want your rookie QB doing. Cross body, cross field throws while backpedaling is normally bad news. He just has a crazy strong arm and can make it work where others have failed. I don't think Young does as much of that stuff though, it's more evading pressure and extending plays to make the read.

Young's deep ball is legit! He kind of whips his body into it and launches it.

You want Young playing WR or Smith playing QB? I’d advise against either.

To clarify no one REALLY thinks he is a toddler. It's obviously extreme humor which is always going to be here on the huddle.

Mahomes landing with Andy Reid helped a ton as well.

I like Young's shoes better.

Levis better run that 40 or it's down to AR?

Do you think that can translate to the next level with faster LBs and DL, smarter DCs etc? Mahomes gets away with it due to his arm strength which is a good bit better than Young's. If you do then yeah he could be a fun pick.

It feeds to that speculation whether it’s true or not. It seems like it would be easy to prove wrong…

12:08 p.m. — Unsurprisingly, Young is not being weighed at his pro day. He tipped the scales at 204 pounds at the NFL Combine, and he will let that number stand. https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/bryce-young-pro-day-live-updates-highlights-alabama/yikuafcoocjtbqtcc6cdywrn Apparently he is also not running the 40 @Jon Snow

Not to mention weather conditions. I remember a couple wind storms...

So he isn't going to weigh in today? Kind of leads to the speculation he was carrying extra weight at the combine and didn't do any drills because of it....

Who was the best defense he played last year? Serious question.

What was the best SEC defense he played last year and where do they rank as a defense in the NCAA? The SEC had some good offenses, but it seemed like a down year for defenses…. I’m a SEC fan, but would argue the Big10 had the tougher defenses and of course weather conditions this year.

He is definitely tough for his size and as weird as it sounds he takes hits well. He seems to kind of give himself up and absorb the blows. I just hope he can do that with NFL players hitting him without any issues...

Alabama's TE and MLB are some other players we might be interested in. There should be a lot of talent in the building for our staff to also check out while they are flirting with Young.

Next up in the QB dating game is Bryce Young at Alabama's Pro Day today at 12pm. I figured we can use this thread for updates and all the googly eyes our staff makes at their new crush of the day.

You only trade to 2 if your are confident in BOTH players. If they are ranked pretty even you acquire extra draft capital and take whichever Houston doesn’t want. If we think option B plus the extra pick out weighs option A then you make the trade. You are right though, we better not assume we know who Houston would take at 1.

Love it! He is having fun, keeping it loose! I hope our QB has the same demeanor and skillset at Burrow. It’s definitely working for him.

The only way I see that happening is if we trade down which I doubt happens. Stroud/Young are the franchise guys and AR/Levis are the high ceiling gambles.

Yeah you probably have to keep Young in shotgun. He does have decent vision for his size though. I’ll give him that.

The Young “hate” is just jokes about his size. Relax. No one hates Young or thinks he is terrible. Everything thinks he is great some are just concerned he might not hold up physically which is nothing against his football skill. We are still over a month away so prepare yourself for humor and arguing about which is better. The good news is BOTH are great prospects and we should end up with one of them as our new franchise QB to pair with our new solid coaching staff. It’s all good in Carolina right now!
