Bryce Young Pro Day

As much as  i want it to be Stroud, I see what Young has to be incredibly special.   I think that Young will be the most successful QB IF he can stay healthy. 

So, to me, the choice is:  Do you want to pick the best QB for what he can bring to your team, or do you want to pick the other guy because the best QB might get hurt?  Winners do not make choices fearing negative consequences.  As a whole, Young has been slightly better vs. better competition.

I think they are protecting QBs today more than they did 5 years ago.  Young seems to have a sixth sense, and that, combined with his ability to see the field like nobody I have seen since maybe Brees, will be the difference.  Would I take Young?  Yes, but I would be sad about passing on Stroud.  If we take Stroud, missing out on Young will bother me.

You want Young playing WR or Smith playing QB? I’d advise against either.

I was talking about the post pro-day interview. Bryce seemed to be … comparable in size to Smith. Just an observation and wanted to know if anyone else had an opinion.

If I’m honest, he would be my favorite if he were bigger.

I think the size concerns are overblown. Stroud is the better pure passer with a stronger arm, but Young does everything else the position requires(calling out protections, reads, scrambling, etc) today better. I prefer Young because he plays the game a little better and never seemed to get rattled by pressure.

On the other hand, the myth that Stroud doesn't call out protections and pre-snap reads is way over blown.  Bryce displayed better scrambling ability, but both can scramble.

    • They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world. 
    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
