that one study that @stan786shared in the other thread that i posted in here showed that the larger the player was, the more prone to injury they were. of course i don't think this was talking about contact injuries specifically, just all injuries. But even if you were to isolate contact injuries, would size be a quantifiable factor?

but will his elusiveness and spacial awareness keep him from taking more hits and will his flexibility allow him to cut down on the force of blows? i think if he was more of a pocket QB that he would be more prone to taking big hits. Scrambling around the backfield usually makes a QB less likely to take a hit. I think Cam's worse injuries happened when he was in the pocket and wasn't on the move.

but what about for other smaller QBs, because he might be the smallest, but he's not the only smaller QB to play. Were they more prone to injury than any other QBs? I mean is there enough evidence showing that we would be walking into a dangerous situation other than speculating because he is so small? I'm not looking for "common sense" because common sense is often subjective, but i am looking for data to show this is something that we should really be concerned about. I mean all we have right now is a lot of opinions stating that it's an issue because either it "makes sense" that it would be an issue or because we've never seen someone that small take on the role.

i have been thinking about this and i'm sure most of you have been as well. we're concerned about Young's size and how likely it is for him to get injured by players twice his size. i know it makes sense that it would be a major concern, but is that concern really warranted? Are smaller framed players, especially QBs, more prone to injury than larger ones? Just like the issue of batted down passes, there are some players more prone to having them batted down, but it isn't because of their height. Could it be that the stats bear out that size isn't really a factor in frequency of injury for QBs? Thanks to @stan786 for finding this article on weight vs. injuries https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stat-analysis/2018/weight-and-injuries I'm going to let you all look at it and see what you think and also see if you can find anymore studies showing this. again, it makes sense that it would be a concern, but is the concern warranted by any actual stats? or is it all, "he's so small and they're so big!!!"?

i keep seeing this concern, and i have it myself, but i wonder if it's really warranted? I mean are smaller framed players, esp. QBs, more prone to injury? Do the stats bear that out? I'm going to start another thread about this. seems like a worthwhile discussion.

I would like to see if there is a study showing a correlation between player/QB size and injury frequency/durability. Surely it's been done.

Good QBs will always recognize areas that are a natural weakness and they will adapt to work around them and overcome them. Good coaching staffs help this happen. It can be a big deal, but it can also be worked around, which it seems Young has been able to do. Yet to be seen if he can do it in the pros, but this is one thing that i think he will be able to carry over to the pros. He'll find his sight lanes. He'll have to scramble to do it, but he can do it.

What about white whiskers?

I trust these coaches and staff in a way I haven't in a long time, if ever. That would just be a harder thing to trust them on. I think they'd still be able to make it work out well, it's just a lot harder to visualize and it would take a lot longer to make it happen than it would with Young or Stroud. I'm only getting older and my ticker is moving quicker. I'd really like to see us hoist a Lombardi before I start thinking that Tuesday's taste like oatmeal.

I'll be among the imploders, especially if it's Levis I'll try to make the best of it, but my gut would be in knots. AR would be a tough sell, but I could be bought on the idea that they could turn him into something beyond special. Still, I'd rather not have to work to be excited. Just give me Stroud or Young and I'll be good

I've been of the opinion that you can't go wrong with either Young or Stroud so really.... I'm at peace with however it shakes out as long as it's one of those two

Btw.....BLACK Panthers uniforms should be predominantly BLACK

I don't care what it is....do it. And if it pisses a lot of people off....

Not used to good things happening. More used to major f*ckups and bad decisions.

I hope he's there still for them to take.... because that means we didn't.

I'm thinking that this year we'll win 10+ games, win the division, get to the divisional round of the playoffs, and that 1st round pick will be in the mid 20s.

someone say saxophone music?

CJ to DJ?

lots of practice.

i know. i've got to keep open to the possibility that he isn't as bad as i think he is or will be as bad as i think he will be and that maybe...just maybe....the panthers will think he's the guy to build on. i try, but it's hard for me to have an open mind about him i made up my mind a long time ago about him.

would be too much blonde in the room
