Just read this article on Yahoo about Bryce Young: https://sports.yahoo.com/bryce-youngs-nfl-draft-prospects-are-dogged-by-questions-about-his-size-and-thats-about-it-173848416.html

It's about something I think is going to be a major question for us this off-season: Young's size.

Young is pretty clearly the most NFL-ready QB in this draft. If he were a few inches taller and a few pounds heavier I think he'd be the slam-dunk #1 pick.

Which begs the question: just how important are those few inches and pounds? Enough to bypass Young in favor of a Will Levis or C.J. Stroud?

I'm starting to think the answer may be no.

Tons of potential but as a fanbase that has now seen several smaller lighter quarterbacks fed to the wolves behind our patchwork oline let's go another route. Darnold is 6'3 and even he's taken a beating and missed time. Granted he had the same durability issues with the Jets but this oline is still a work in progress at best for the time being.

If he's small in college he's going to be a midget in the nfl. He's got talent I'll give him that.

Whoever takes him will be taking a chance that even if he can play at that level he will be a serious injury risk. 

I think if you take him you should be ready to draft his replacement the very next draft to cover your ass.

Against popular opinion, I would be thrilled with Young. Yes, he is small, but he's got incredible poise and decision making, not afraid to take the hit in order to get the home run pass, and he's a hell of a leader. I think he could end up being better than Russell Wilson.

I definitely think size is an issue, but if he’s got arm talent then it can be overlooked. I have read mixed reviews on BYs arm strength, is it a strength or weakness of his? 

thats the point, his size cannot be overlooked, he is a midget.  5'10 180 lbs that poo is a disaster in the nfl

      All I can say is... I have some happiness off the rags choking and losing to the Panthers. Hopefully the Western conference team wins the Stanley cup, but now I can be 100% uninvested in the playoffs

      Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.

      Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.
