Exactly. Plenty of big players have had concussion issues. We have had several unfortunately with Kuechly, Morgan, and Oher. So to say Tua has concussion issues entirely because he doesnt weigh enough could be entirely inaccurate.

How do you know Tua got them entirely because of his weight and not just bad luck/genetic predisposition?

I think its just injuries overall at the qb position.

Two of the best big prospects coming out were Cam and Luck. Both of them were plagued by injuries. It seems like common sense that a smaller qb would get hurt more but thats not what the stats say.

It does further down the article. It actually shows bigger qbs are injured more often. Which is probably a fluke but does help say weight doesnt have much to do with qb injuries.

Correlation doesnt equal causation.

I think its weird people who are set on stroud say you can coach stroud to do what young does but you cant coach young to be bigger. The second part is definitely true, but the first part definitely isnt nesscesarily. You cant nesscesarily coach lightning quick processing and playmaking when a play breaks down. A lot of that is natural talent in the same way height is.

I prefer him at edge in the 20% or so we are in 34 but i believe someone on the staff said in an interview last week that Luvu will play a mixture of edge and inside linebacker when we are in 34. Maybe i just dreamed it though but I'm pretty sure. In the same answer they mentioned Chinn and his versatility to play all over the field in different formations.

Exactly. The average NFL rb is 213 lbs and they take way more hits than whichever qb we take. I hope. Lol

Thats silly though. Most injuries are flukes or bad luck. Find me statistics that say bigger qbs have had less injuries than smaller ones. Brees had a relatively healthy career. So has kyler for the most part. What about some big qbs like Cam or Luck? There very well may be statistics aggreeing with this sentiment that smaller equals injured more but I haven't found it.

It seems like such a weird thing as a panthers fan to say bpa thats not a qb or lt. Its a pretty nice feeling.

Exactly, has anyone actually made comparisons statistically? Most injuries seem to be flukes. Is it actually statistically more likely for a lighter qb to get injured more often than a heavier one?

Imagine that, the people here who are set on Stroud thought Young looked bad. They were going to no matter what. Im good with either and today cemented thar for me. None of us have saw nearly as much of them as our coaches and scouts have. I feel comfortable with whoever they pick. I slightly lean Stroud but if Young was a couple inches taller he would be the clear #1 so it makes me wonder if we are overrating or underrating size. How many injuries are specifically related to size and how many are flukes due to landing wrong etc

You cant always find everything you want in one offseason. He brings a reliable target who is a proven experienced player to an inexperienced position group.

Other than saying theyre both tall, i dont think tmj and chark have much else at all in common.

Yea lots of needs overall but i think they have more of a 2 year plan to try to fill everything. I think this draft they will get a couple defensive players but probably try to add as much to the offense as they can so the rookie qb has weapons and isnt hung out to dry.

I think it just depends on how the draft goes. They are trying to set themselves up where they have more options to take BPA. Qb at 1 and a WR are the only HAVE TOs now in the draft I'd say even though there are definitely posistions im sure they want to draft. They will just wait and see how the board falls.

In the words of the great Moose. Chicago is where wide receivers go to die. We loved you while you were hear DJ even though you showed a lack of effort and lazy routes sometimes, you were the best receiver we've had in a long time. Unfortunately for him, a franchise qb is a lot harder to find then a good number 1/ great #2 wr.

New system needs rbs that are dual threat.

This is a weak fa class and you have to add what you can, he is big, fast, and he did have over 1000 yards and 8 tds a few years ago in jax. If he could stay healthy for us he would definitely be the best wr on our roster by a decent margin. Take that however you want.

This was my #1 wr in free agency and I couldnt believe we hadnt heard any mention about him from the team till now. After the Thielen visit i was starting to lose hope.

New head coach.

Probably Parris but i keep hoping they at least talk to Chark. I prefer him but im ok with either.

I prefer Chark anyways even though I never really hear him mentioned.

Do you understand there is a salary cap? The only aspect you can throw your money around with is coaching and Tepper has said as much.
