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

At the end of the day you're asking an NFL NickelBack to suit up at QB for you 17 times a season and hoping for the best. 

 

I mean, it's true. If you saw Bryce Young walk in and had no clue who he was and he told you he played football at Alabama you're think he's either a slot receiver, nickelback, or he's a kicker/punter. That's pretty much it.

I’m more than ok with us taking him. He has a great QB mind. He has a chance to be special. I just can’t sit here and say his size isn’t a concern.

Pretty much.

You have to fire everyone in the building, and I mean everyone, if you take Young and he gets hurt.

at the end of the day I have to imagine this is the prevailing logic.  Bryce is good and will win games but oh boy if he gets dinged up badly this is going to go south quickly.

It really is going to come down to knowing how to protect oneself when getting hit. Even 6'5 250 pound QBs like Cam had to learn how to slide and know when to run out of bounds or throw the ball away. Not doing so is asking for a shorter, injury plagued career (as we have seen). Some positions can't avoid contact, but QB is a position where it becomes a decision. Some bigger QBs can withstand hits better, but it adds up in the long run. Even now, the Bills are very aware of how much Josh Allen is getting hit and are making a conscious effort to reduce that significantly. 

Two types of QBs scare me in terms of getting hit:

1. QBs that can't feel the pressure approaching or have no awareness of defenders on a blitz and have no time to prepare for the hit, thus taking hits like a crash test dummy.

2. QBs that drop their shoulder on a run or roll out instead of sliding.

Injuries are a part of the game, but it really has to do with decision making and play-style, moreso than size. I remember seeing Jeff Garcia take the full weight of Kris Jenkins and he rolled around on the ground in agony for a minute or so. But he got up, finished, and even won the game (I believe so... It was a while back). Some of the better QBs in the league at staying healthy, did so because they knew presnap where they wanted to put the ball, called the right protections, and got it out quickly.

This is why I'm not worried about Bryce. He's the most pressure aware QB I've seen in a long time, if not ever. A significant portion of his game revolves around avoiding hits. Other guys might be able to take more hits but if they're eating dirt more often than Young would it's a wash.

Go to the Panthers website pull up their roster and look for all the 5'10 or below players. There are 4. Now if you repeated that process with the other 31 NFL teams what do you think you'd find? The folks who don't see this as an issue are not going to be convinced and those who do aren't either. What it boils down to is either you believe he will be one of 3 outliers in the last 40 years or he won't. If we draft him I hope he balls out but it will remain in the back of my mind.

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

Well, the 5-10 Young hasn’t gotten any taller. And it’s unclear whether his combine weight (204 pounds) changed since he declined to get measured or step on the scale at last week’s pro day. Scouts aren’t necessarily concerned about batted passes for Young, who can change his arm slot and find throwing windows. But there are durability worries given his slight frame.

      Off season talk.

      By pantherj · Posted

      I always just go back to what I said at the time. Trade Burns to the Rams because it's a fantastic deal. I was screaming it. I'm still angry at Fitt over that. Right after he turned down the deal I said he needed to get into a time machine and go back and make the deal. Hate that dude. Ruined our team. Trading D.J was a major mistake because what matters most in the NFL is the passing game, so you never unload a proven #1 WR when there are other options. Always trade a defensive player over a WR if you have that option available. Fitt was precious about defensive players when we had a passing offense that didn't function. That's how know he was completely incompetent. The passing offense is the top priority, so until that is functioning all defensive players are possible trade fodder. At this point we're in a rebuilding year under a new GM and a QB who looks absolutely horrendous. It makes perfect sense, if you follow all of our moves, that we would be the worst team in the NFL. Of course we are. You can't screw up as a GM that many times over the years and not ruin the franchise. We're exactly where we should be, dead last, or bottom 3. Whichever you like. But this is the here and now. Dan did a good job getting our 2nd round pick back, and we won't know about the picks until they take the field in regular season games. We're in dark until then, but if they suck the Panthers media will hide it shamelessly. Remember when Young was supposed to be a football genius? Yeah he was rancid turds out there when live fire started. There is some hope. Either Young improves and we win more games, or he stays about the same and we draft a new QB in 2025. Either way the NFL will help us out of this jam, but all we need is for Dan not to screw it up.

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?
