Bryce Young Pro Day

Imagine that, the people here who are set on Stroud thought Young looked bad.  They were going to no matter what.  Im good with either and today cemented thar for me.  None of us have saw nearly as much of them as our coaches and scouts have.  I feel comfortable with whoever they pick.   I slightly lean Stroud but if Young was a couple inches taller he would be the clear #1 so it makes me wonder if we are overrating or underrating size.  How many injuries are specifically related to size and how many are flukes due to landing wrong etc

So he isn't going to weigh in today?  Kind of leads to the speculation he was carrying extra weight at the combine and didn't do any drills because of it....

Knew he wouldn’t weigh in. He’s under 200 again for sure because.

Still prefer Stroud. Not sure how anyone can say Young is the best thrower of the ball after seeing both throw.

cause pro days aren't real and game tape matters more. Young is the best natural pure QB in this class. The way he throws and QBs the field when under pressure and everything is moving fast is unreal. 

 

There's a reason everyone says if he was 6'2 220 there would be no doubt who the #1 pick is.

Basically my opinion. I have a feeling Bryce is special but I probably draft Stroud if it was my team. But both looked exactly as you’d hope. Will be psyched regardless.

    • 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
