This is why Bryce Young undoubtedly is QB1

The difference of size in Mahomes/Rodgers and Brees is very close to the difference in Brees and Young.  About 2 inches and 15 pounds.  Doesn't seem like much but it is definitely something to think about.

He was the furthest off of the three I mentioned for sure. Still think Young will end up playing around 215.

Much less worries about a dude who can bulk up to 220-225 and seem like a good sized QB in the NFL vs the kid who put on water weight just to hit 200 and run no drills and then not reweigh at the pro day. I don’t know if Young’s frame can handle 215. Bama is world class weight rooms and facilities and he played at 185 most of his career. 
 

 

Okay, but what does weighing in at 220-225 have to do with injuring your AC joint? I can get on board with getting hit overtime causing Bryce to break down faster, but I hitting/injuring your AC joint isn’t going to change if you weigh 185 or 220. If you get hit by say the same 295lb guy and land on your shoulder, it’s going to be injured if you’re 185 or 220…

I haven't seen anyone say Young never got injured, though I may have missed the posts.

But for everyone harping on Young's injury, should they not be worried about Stroud's from two years ago? It was the same type of injury after all.

 

There were people saying Young played against SEC defenses without getting injured so he will be fine in the NFL. It was just misinformation as he was injured this season and missed a game.

For the record they reckon Bruce Lee was 145lbs - and even then in his most famous fight scene irl he'd have got destroyed by Chuck Norris due to the size difference.

Maybe, maybe not. Even Chuck has always been coy about what would have happened if they really fought. That said, Chuck has long praised Lee for his speed, agility, and strength.

If he can bulk up that big and keep his speed and quickness it will go a long way to lengthen his career. If his actually playing weight is 185, 30 pounds is a lot to add to a 5’10 thin frame though.

This makes sense for dudes not going up against other dudes who run as fast or faster than you and weigh 260+. At 190 ( and I think Young plays at 180-185 ) that’s a dude 70 pounds heavier than you being able to put all their weight on you when you aren’t ready for it…it’s serious cause for concern. 
 

Young is a stud. He dominated in college. When he steps foot on the NFL fields though come week 1 he’s going to be the smallest framed player on the field every week unless folks have an old school kicker that weighs 170 lol. 

Bigger muscles/mass does not always mean better. Here, maybe this article/blog can explain the muscle thing.

I've come to the conclusion that I have to put Young ahead of Stroud. When I was Stroud's games there's too many instances where I feel like his downsides won't be able to be masked or addressed in the NFL. On the other hand, when I'm watching Young play the only question I have is his size.

185 won’t be his actual playing weight as a grown man. He’s 21 years old and has already shown he can weigh 204 fairly easy.

    • They know within 15 mins.  Many moons ago skins drafted Heath Shuler at like 5th overall and Gus Frerotte in the late rounds. You know the plan, its Heaths team. Old OLman stink said within 15 minutes they knew Gus was the better QB.  I didn't need 15 or players on the same field, I just knew like Bill said "he better walk on water", which he hasn't. I do blame tepper mainly for it, he spend the greater part of 2 year telling everyone Watson would be a panther......and fail....but a great fail...then Stanford turned panthers down.....tepper was beyond pissed and wanted a QB. He forced the trade and picked BY......and now by .....some grace of the gods formed a team with 4 QBs of no hope...... insane given the other roster spots.....
    • He definitely knows nothing about the Panthers, but there’s no denying he’s a pioneer in this whole draft grading and mock draft field.
    • I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep.
