Young missed one game in college playing SEC competition. Everybody, not matter how large or small, has only so many hits they can take. In wrestling they call it a bump card. Young has shown that he's more durable than fragile so far.

The whole SEC thing gates me.  Granted Bama didn't win the SEC this year, but a close second.  Bama still has one of the best (top 3) rosters in all of college football.  Yes, even in the SEC, Bama still towers over most the the League

Young will have to deal with defenses that just as good as LSU and Georgia every week, and won't see a Vandy and SC drop off in talent throughout the season.

Again, his small stature scares me and I don't think he'll last long in the League.  Kyler Murray is bigger and dude stays hurt.

If we’re trading up

Stroud or Young

 

if we stand at 9, Levis 

 

if we can move down a little.  ARich

 

If we get a Brian Johnson and Reich pairing, I’d be comfortable in taking a high upside guy like Levis or Richardson.  But would still prefer Stroud/Young.

The SEC is basically the NFL's farm system and generally gets the majority of the best prospects. That's why people bring it up so much.

Young has played well against the LSU and Georgia defenses. 2021 game logs. 2022 game logs. So, I think he can handle playing against NFL defenses.

Every human body is different. Just because two people are similar in size, doesn't mean they'll both stay injured.

 As you said, hits add up and logic says the smaller the frame, the fewer hits the person can take before wearing down.  It's why in boxing feather weights don't box heavy weights.  Even Cam Newton eventually broke down.

I'd rather roll with a FA QB on a 2-3 year deal, surround him with weapons and take a QB next draft.  I wouldn't mind a flyer pick with a QB with that round 5 pick (or later if we accumulate some later picks in a trade.)  We have too have too many holes and lacking the bevy of picks to move up this draft.

    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it. 
    • If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
