He literally says his size is a concern 

Yeah, but in a more general sense. He also intimated that size is not necessarily the determining factor as to whether or not you draft a guy and/or whether he'll be successful in the league.

I hope this is sarcasm and I just can see it through text....

It is sarcasm. But not all QB prospects have concerns either. Look at Brees and what he did with his size and he took team to SB and won it and same goes for Wilson in a very short period. Both are short but managed to pull it off with little difficulty.

2 things--he said "He checks a lot of boxes", and admitted size is an issue.  Furthermore, he uses  Brees and Russell Wilson as his examples of high performing QBs---

second and a third round picks

He did NOT reference the only 5'10" QB ever taken first overall--K. Murray.  Why not, I wonder?  I think he was not going to make a statement that suggested that he was thinking of Young from the perspective of the first overall pick, he was comparing him to QBs who defied the odds.

Size is a concern, however big, tall, strong QBs also get hurt. I think he has proven that he can be a great QB, what's going to separate him from the others is his football acumen during personal interviews. I saw an interview where Daniel Jeremiah was talking with Pat McAfee and there are reports that Young has the right attitude, football intelligence, and maturation to be a franchise QB.

Young was watching tape on Sundays after their games on Sat and going to coaches and giving them a game plan. His work ethic and drive reminds me of Luke being a film rat and know all of the offenses plays. Luke ended his career because of concussions even being in top physical shape. I would rather have 5-7 years of hall of fame production compared to 10 years of average play.

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
