Woah woah woah now.... the hype is not over because of a single bad game. The kid is getting comparisons to Josh Allen for a reason. A great prospect locked into a shitty system and program. 

 

Josh Allen only threw for 1800 yards and 16tds at 6INTs his final year at Wyoming.

Will Levis is not Josh Allen. Jesus Christ this place and its hard on for P5 QB's just because they are in the ACC, Big 10, Pac 12, Big 12, or SEC. 

The question is of value. Grayson McCall may not be the next Josh Allen but there is no Josh Allen in this draft. Grayson McCall is 6'3, can move, throws with the highest level of precision into tight windows on time, with good velocity, on the move, and he works harder than anyone off the field. You don't get to where he is statistically in a "triple option" scheme without being an amazing passer, which he js.

If I can find the game against Marshall, who has a very, very good defense as Notre Dame found out, there are two throws that illustrate my point. Both happened in the 2nd quarter where he dropped a 40 yard throw through the air, on the move, into a bucket just feathering the ball over the DB. The problem was his receiver dropped one and the other one forgot where he was on the field. I'm talking a dime into a tight window on the sideline while rolling out on one and moving in the pocket on another. Big time throws.

A qb 5'10 sub 200lbs has never succeeded in the NFL.  If Young becomes a franchise guy he will literally be the first ever to do so.  You willing to risk your top 5 pick on that?  fug that

Wild stat.... the average height of the QB positon has gone down over the last ten years. In 2010 the average height for a QB in the NFL was almost 6'4. Now in 2022 we are at sub 6'3.  

Interesting to see the NFL begin to trend downward in height. Probably a meaningless stat, but it does reflect that teams are less likely to depend on height as a guiding statistic as they used to.

why not do weights?  That seems to be the important aspect and most everyone on that list is well over 200lbs

i see your point

I dont know what it is about the "NFL diet" but players put on massive muscle and weight when they join the league. It's pretty crazy.... If you look at Lamar Jackson for instance.... the guy was around 210 lbs at 6'2 when he was drafted, and now he is over 230lbs and its mass, not fat. 

I just dont use weight as a counter-productive stat when it comes to the NFL. NBA? different story..... 

 

Young's rookie year is going to be rough though, bc he wont be on that diet... yet.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
