Bryce Young might not be able to see over the offensive lineman’s hip pads.

If we are even considering him I would be kind of upset. Matt Corral is bigger and more mobile. Yes, Bryce is more accurate based on what we have seen but running RPO, bootlegs and PA does not always require pinpoint passing. I feel Corral would be a cheaper more feasible option if ut came down to it. I am not saying he is the best QB option at this point but I do not trust BY's longevity at all.

He seems so small framed in that picture. I mean she is tiny, and he isn’t too far off. It’s hard to imagine him holding up getting hit by a Bosa.

The more i watched him, the smaller he looked and played. I never really was interested, even when the hype train was full force 2 years ago, and I was completely uninterested the more I watched last season. I really hope our staff feel similarly because I just don't have a good feeling about how his game translates to the pros, and its not just his height.

If he's there at #9 you probably take him (assuming you don't sign Carr in FA), but you absolutely don't move up for him.

If you put his brain / skillset in Stroud's body, Chicago would be pawning Fields off to whoever wanted to take him 'cos that #1 pick would be locked down.

We don’t know young’s height or weight.  He is probably going to bulk up to over 200 at the combine and not work out and then not weigh again at his pro day.   

5’4” 145 lbs

How often do we even see QBs line up under center these days? If you see a QB under center it's probably a QB sneak.

Might as well call it a RB push now.

If he's still on the board after the 4th pick, you go get him.

Could be difficult with Seattle in the market as well if he's there. Was Geno a one hit wonder and how long can they expect him to play at that level? If he's there at 5, I see Seattle running to the podium.

They gotta change that poo. A QB sneak is completely unstoppable getting a yard or less now. Maybe when teams just start completely selling out and lining up an OL behind the QB for the push the NFL will finally put a stop to the ridiculousness. It's just a fuging rugby scrum.

What's going to happen is someone is going to get seriously hurt and snap some legs when that pile goes sideways. I can tell you from experience being on the bottom of that pile with your knee bent sideways that is not something I would ever wish on anyone. 30 years later and it still isn't right.

It kinda surprises me that owners aren't pushing for the change. They can't like seeing their most valuable and usually highest paid position on the team sandwiched in a melee but as long as it's legal coaches are going to do it because it's unstoppable.

Especially for the linemen. Because they are so low and have to have their feet dug in so well, there really isn't a whole lot of flexibility for them. A couple thousand pounds of beef falling sideways is going to end up hurting 4 or 5 guys at once. They'll end up stopping it once they're having to cart off multiple players with Jason Sehorn like injuries. I remember watching that as he went airborne and almost puked.

The roughest injury I ever saw on live television was Willis McGahee's knee in college. I was in college and a bunch of us were watching that game and I saw it and just started screaming. Like everybody y'all gotta watch this poo and now because they're only gonna show this replay once when they realize how ugly this is. I still can't believe he made a successful recovery from that.

I guess Marcus Lattimore's injury at South Carolina looked similarly and that one ended him.
