Bryce Young Pro Day

Recommended Posts

In all honesty, if Bryce was 3 inches taller and 30 pounds heavier, no one would be having as much of a debate. But he isn't. And most forget the one thing that has elevated his play substantially is having a former NFL OC and HC as his coordinator. He should look polished on film and does. But none of that changes the fact he doesn't have the size to stay healthy in a league of seek and destroy missiles. You cam hope and wish all you want, but it isn't going to change his measurables.

Great video. Some of the hits at the end were scary. He threw some great intermediate lasers. Arm strength doesn't look like a concern. Oh and to my haters, I'm not trying to act like I know the answers, I loved Collins, Weinke, Pickles, Mayfield. I love Stroud right now so we probably should take the little guy!

What's them winning lottery ticket numbers Mrs Cleo? Your "fact" is an opinion and nothing more. Nobody knows if Young or anyone with "ideal size" will be able to stay healthy or not in the NFL after getting drafted. The league protects QBs more and more every year. They're not quite NBA bad with the you can't touch the star fouls yet, but they're getting there. What is fact is that Young played in the toughest college league for three years and missed one game while taking hits from NFL sized players. He's shown he's tough and can take a hit or avoid contact with his small size. The size thing is way overblown on here.

He is definitely tough for his size and as weird as it sounds he takes hits well.  He seems to kind of give himself up and absorb the blows.  I just hope he can do that with NFL players hitting him without any issues...

You're right, it's like a drunk in a car crash.

First. I acknowledge that Bryce Young's frame is a concern and if he was 6"4 225, it wouldn't be a debate on who the consensus top QB is.

Now that's out of the way. The frustration that I have about durability concerns is when does a player's tape and injury history come into effect. Typically past behavior is the best indicator of future success.

Bryce Young played two years in the SEC - a conference littered with NFL defensive talent. I know players in the NFL are bigger and faster. My point is he played to the closest level to NFL competition and missed one game as a starter. 

Unless you have Patrick Mahomes, SB windows are probably 2-3 years in a decade window. I think Young is best ready to be a Day 1 starter and get the Panthers into playoffs year 1.

    • 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
