I was giving you the benefit of the doubt - apologies.

My argument is that his height will limit his ability to see the middle of the field and his weight (especially his small frame) means he's an extreme risk to get injured as most players in the front 7 outweigh him by 50lbs. 

Right because there's no way for a person 6ft or shorter to navigate the pocket and find throwing lanes... It's never been done before! Dur!

And it's not like Young hasn't been doing just that sort of thing in the NFL's minor league, I mean SEC, his whole college career against NFL sized players...

Every person and body is different. Size/weight don't mean poo when it comes to taking hits. The right hit will end anyone's career or injure them regardless of size. Just ask Cam Newton and his shoulder or Thomas Davis and his knees. Guys like Russell Wilson(won a SB), Sonny Jurgensen(played till his 40s), Mich Vick(slight, multiple pro bowler), Eddie LeBaron(smallest QB ever played over a decade), Doug Flutie(played 12 pro seasons), and Drew Brees(one of the best ever stats wise) have had long careers that were relativity injury free or played a long time after injuries.

If I am a G.M. and in position to draft Young, I would trade down a few positions and pick up more draft selections if I thought Stroud, Levi or Robinson would be available, depending on which one I liked best, when my team would be on the draft clock.

Young isn't QB1 due to height, weight concerns. The real smokescreen is actually comparing him to STROUD when his actual tier because of those liabilities is Levis.

He was clutch in a lot of aspects in that game but there’s just something about Young. He makes me feel safe and warm.

If Young were Strouds size he would be the slam dunk #1 overall. He would be being talked about as a generational talent like Luck, Lawrence etc.

I’m personally still viewing him that way. There’s a good post on Reddit looking into Bryce size and overblown injury concerns. YES it’s absolutely possible he’s more prone to certain things. But if you watch him, as small as he is, he’s very compact and organized with his body. He knows what he can take physically and doesn’t push it. I just see him as a franchise saver. I’m the highest Bryce guy you’ll meet.

This is true. The o linemen and d linemen in the SEC are pretty much the same size as NFL lines and I don’t recall Young having much trouble with getting passes swatted down, or getting injured. I am slightly in favor of CJ (maybe 60/40) but I believe Young has a chance to be special.

I respect the open mindedness towards that sentiment and I totally see why someone would like Stroud as a safer option. I just see Bryce as the face the the league kinda player.

We can't afford to lose any more draft picks. Better to go after a free agent. Jakobi Meyers, JuJu, Allen Lazzard, or Darius Slayton please. 

I understand your logic, but this is such a subpar group of WRs…

You don't have to do it all this year.  Get a playmaker TE in the draft and a vet WR in FA.  Resign Foreman and Bozeman and the offense will be fine.  Get our WR1 next year.

I'm hoping for that UGA TE or Luke Musgrave at 39. Or we could flip that and go free agent TE: Mike Gesicki, Dalton Schultz, Austin Hooper, Robert Tonyan, Hayden Hurst, and then WR at 39 (Josh Downs,  Odunze, JSN, Hyatt or Rashee Rice).

      Game Observations

      Unless the league decides to rollback the rule book 30 years, that player at QB isn't winning any Super Bowls.  QB has to elevate those around him.  QBs that are carried by the team are always exposed in the playoffs. Closest thing to an average QB that has won the SB recently is Jalen Hurts.  But he's so unique with his legs and the unstoppable tush push that I don't think it's easy to compare him to anyone.  Certainly not someone who is subbed out for QB sneaks.

      You absolutely can have hope. You can’t convert people though; making advocacy posts are kind of … not reading the room.   I had a small hope that he would be able to at least manage some games and that they could make it work in some kind of no fun to watch fashion.  But honestly I had 100% determined he was not NFL starter material, and I had conviction. So to root for him to marginally succeed goes against the best interest of the Panthers long term, according to my beliefs. I wanted him gone the minute he got here if I am honest.It was up to him to prove otherwise.  He has rarely shown me anything to think I was wrong on his ceiling.  He did show me some courage last year, standing in the pocket and stepping into his throw in the face of pressure - but that has gone somewhere. He made some nice throws last year in places too, but they invested in him on the level of the Atlanta game should be his norm. Good luck seeing that again on Sunday. Still, he did it once, so technically it could happen again.
