Folks who get fooled by Pro Days tend to fall for the Zach Wilson’s of the world. 

When it comes to QB's, teams really should show up to pro days, talk to the player, watch him as he moves around the room and how he handles himself.

And then just leave before the workout

Those things are so scripted that it's near impossible for a QB to look bad, you're not going to learn anything new in watching them workout in that type of environment.  But you absolutely can learn about who they are as a person and a leader by watching how they handle the room and that's really all you can learn about QB's at these things.

This is supposed to be our guy for the next decade or more. All things should be considered. Most people want to see him throw even if they have questions about his frame. This thread will inevitably be 20 or more pages. Get some popcorn and enjoy the show.

For the ones taking these pro days so seriously. Do you realize there’s no pass rush coming at them during pro days. No reading coverages?  Hell, Johnny Manziel and Zach Wilson lit up their pro days. Any average college QB with a good arm can look good at a pro day. Who cares. It doesn’t matter. 

Pretty sure everybody knows they’re working out in shorts. Nobody’s forcing you to be here Francis.

People are wishy washy on Stroud and Young. There are very few, at this point, who wants Levis or AR. Folks might get excited over Levis and AR’s pro days, but for the most part, the overwhelming majority will still want Stroud or Young.

Damn, I just don’t know. I like both guys. Smitty’s opinion means a lot to me so maybe Young is the way.

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

If he was bigger, the Bears would have been trading Fields and would take Young themselves.

His frame just can't be discounted when evaluating him, it's not the ultimate reasoning for anything or else he'd be a mid round pick, but when there is another prospect that is equally as good, but 5 inches taller and at least 20 lbs heavier (again, I don't believe Young's combine weight was anything other than a good 15 lbs of extra water weight), you gotta go with the QB more likely to hold up to the wear and tear of an NFL career.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
