Bryce Young Pro Day

Young's bullshit with hiding his weight is a red flag to me. Shows up at the combine at 204 but won't work out, then weeks later refuses to weigh again at his pro day. If you lost the weight, just be honest about it. we already saw you sit next to 5'9'' Steve Smith and look like his young child, refusing to divulge your weight isn't tricking anybody into thinking you're big, it just makes you look shady.

You can cut a lot of water weight which has it's own safety issues as evidenced by bodybuilding, boxing, MMA, wrestling, etc. However ADDING 15 pounds of "water weight." That’s genuinely very ridiculous. You would probably die from water poisoning first.

to me, the interactions today at Alabama seemed more like a family affair--based on what I saw in pictures and on the SEC Network.  Did not see as much from Columbus.

I watched David Tepper and he seemed into it more at Bama.  Saban came over to chat with them--he is such a detailed perfectionist.  Tepper seemed to be interested.  Family--that is what it might come down to...

You left off Tepper's wife. We know she's the one really in charge of the team.😮

This is what scares the poo out of me. I’m fine with whoever we choose as long as it’s Reich and Fitterer making the decision. I hope the Tepper’s “input” is nothing more than them listening to the real football people.

Too embarrassed more like it.

We can't go wrong with either selection. Let the guys that get paid to know this stuff make the call. 

There's advantages and disadvantages to both prospects. I'm a CJ7 guy and if the organization called me while on the clock that highly anticipated Thursday night in April asking for me to break the tie, I would take Stroud.

That being said, I would love Bryce here for the next decade as well.

Pro-days are the only thing less indicative of a prospect than the combine...and I LOVE watching both.

Don't want to say it but hard not to agree.

I'm not worried about it at all. There's nothing I can do to change it if it's true. Be a Bird Duck GIF and let the water roll off your back.

Absolutely, you don't think so?

Every standard plastic water bottle is approximately 1 lbs of added weight.

You don't think he could chug 10 of them in the 20 minutes before being weighed in, and that would be on top of him adding weight in the days leading into that day as well.

Sure he'd feel bloated as hell and would piss like a racehorse afterwards, but that weighing in was the most important thing he can do to help his draft status, he would have been able to do it without any problem.

After the Rhule fiasco, which she was not involved with from appearances, we should applaud her with her involvement this time   Things seem a lot better 

frankly, it’s good she is as if anything happens to ole Dave, guess what, she’s the sole owner

    • 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
