Just for the sake of discussion, is there a correlation between size and injury?

If I was a gm and he came in for a visit his ass would be getting on a scale esp if my #1 pick and ultimately my job was on the line.

You damn straight. We don't have to publicize it. But you're getting on that damn scale if you wanna be the #1 overall pick. 😂

If he came in at his listed 195ish I'd breathe a sigh of relief.

Despite the data posted by OP showing otherwise, I’m glad Huddlers kept digging and reached the following conclusion:

So you still will not answer.  If there is no definitive height/weight for playing qb where are all the undersized qbs in the nfl?

How do you know he didn't get on the scale for the Panthers staff?

Perhaps the better question is....

How can I pass up on a talent that has overcome the typical size restrictions to be the best at his position at every level he's played to date?

One hit? Even Tua has played after some brutal head shots. 

I mean I was assuming thats what your referencing because he wasnt hurt before or after that in the NFL. Got cut the next preseason when they decided to move away from the Wildcat stuff. Pat White as a QB wouldnt even be in the same discussion as Young, but he had legit rushing upside that they clearly thought they could exploit back when the wildcat was in fashion.

Why haven't there been more qbs under 6ft in the nfl?  This isn't hard bro

OK so according to this shorter QBs are going to be much less accurate and throw less TDs?  Again most QBs are going to fall into the 6'2" and over group so I think the data is going to be heavily skewed.

Correct and OP even stated as much. Even the article addressed that more research in that area was needed. That doesn't mean evidence exists that smaller QBs are at more risk. I think the obvious conclusion is QBs of all sizes have a risk of injury, and size, history, decision making, and chance will decide their fate. How heavily you weigh each of those factors determines which side of this argument you're on.

Because he'll be the smallest QB in the NFL. Start with that and work backwards.

Because they generally arent good enough to avoid the position swap that happens to guys that are athletic or small and aren't developing at the right pace. Its like what used to happen to more mobile QBs, and happens with Bigger Athletic QBs. There is a prototype for sure in the NFL and Bryce is an outlier for that, i dont imagine anyone is denying that.

    • Make sure to consume copious amounts of Vitamin A during the course of the day. Vitamin A is great for helping to reduce the inflammation and irritation that you may feel, which can cause dryness. Foods that have high sources of this vitamin include carrots, chicken, potatoes, spinach and sweet potatoes. Scheduling regular eye appointments is the best way to ensure good eye health and to catch any problems early. If you are an older adult, your eyes should be checked more often. You are at risk for eye problems such as glaucoma and cataracts as you get older. Monitoring them closely will allow your eyecare professional to catch any problems early. Every eight weeks, your makeup needs replacing. These can accumulate bacteria, just like your contact lenses can, and that's why you replace them every several months. After several months using the same makeup, you will be brushing bacteria all around your face and eyes. This causes damage to your eyes.
