If the "instinct" you possess is being able to know/avoid pressure/hits while in the pocket then that translates pretty damn well to the NFL.

Some guys have that 6th sense while they stand there. 

Others have no idea when they're about to be hit or when to make a slight move up or down in the pocket. 

A lot of people think mobility is the most important tool when it comes to avoiding sacks.

It isn't. Processing speed is.

Heck, back when he played, Michael Vick was frequently high on the list of who took the most sacks. Dan Marino was harder to sack because by the time you could count to two and a half, the football was already gone.

The absolute best trait you can have to avoid getting hit Is the ability to get the football out of your hands too quickly for anyone to get to you. The ability to run and scramble is secondary.

I'll match that with a Luke Kuechly on the other side.

Everybody in the NFL by trade should be instinctual by now.

So Reich has said Young’s height and durability ARE a concern. Maybe posters on here can stop pretending like it’s not..

The question is do his intangibles outweigh his physical limitations. They are off the charts so they might.

I’ve stated the whole time it should be considered just as Reich describes. I disagree with the idea it should eliminate him from #1 discussion which is the way it’s portrayed by many here. 
 

I think the other traits you mentioned are that good. I have a feeling Reich and Fitt agree, but we’ll be in good shape either way.

If you agree his size is considering then we are in the same page.

Joe Person had the Panthers taking CJ Stroud in The Athletic's beat writer mock draft (link)

His reasoning...

Frank Reich has a type when it comes to quarterbacks, all of whom have been 6-foot-2 or taller (the majority have been 6-4 and up). Reich also values accuracy. That combination points to the 6-3, 214-pound Stroud, who has impressed with his ball placement and throwing mechanics. The one knock on Stroud was his unwillingness to make plays with his feet. Then he showed off his athleticism in the College Football Playoff semifinal against a Georgia defense teeming with NFL prospects, and everyone took notice.

I agree it should be a part of the discussion. Every attribute of each draft pick should be. I’ve just reached the conclusion that his talent is worth the risk.

Yep sums it up, Bryce will be the pick, you can only knock him for his size...but yet again he's been compared to GREAT NFL PLAYERS like Barry Sanders...the QB Barry Sanders...omg

Sounds fair to me.  I just keep hearing these "he didn't get hurt in college so he won't get hurt in the NFL" posters.  That's not quite how it works...

      The franchise guy Carolina Panthers Deep Dive

      By CRA · Posted

      I feel largely the same way I did entering last year.  What we are attempting to be on O.....doesn't matchup with Bryce Young.   Scheme nor talent.  I think Canales would pair much better with a young Jake Delhomme.  And Johnson and XL would be great additions for a young Jake Delhomme.  It would be fun.  Bryce is going to make this OL look worse.  He is too small to be in a traditional pocket/scheme at this level.   Bryce Young needs an innovative/Bryce Young centric O scheme to succeed with a bunch of quick YAC check down talent.  That's not Canales.

      BIG fan of the pylon and line marker camera technology that's come along in recent years.  It's definitely helped a lot for replays

      Underdog 2nd year QB preview

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Yeah, I'm serious. You take all of the first year jitters any rookie QB starting will face. Then you put him behind an inept line, give him a group of WRs that features a 32-33 year old slot receiver as their only reliable guy and use him as WR1, no TEs to speak of, pay big bucks for an undersized and over-touted RB that isn't out competing practice squad players AND THEN pair it up with a dysfunctional owner/HC/OC combo that keeps running the same play concept again and again and again. (And coaches that were already at each other's backs with daggers don't develop young QBs... heck it's the hardest skill ever for any HC.. Jon Gruden never could do it and there's a case to be made that Belichick never did it (the QB developing the coach possibly there)). Yeah, he was bad, legendarily bad, but he was in possibly the worst environment imaginable for a rookie QB. You can take away some mechanics issues that should have been worked on and still need to be worked on, but everything else was tainted by that environment.  I wasn't impressed by him in the least for anything except for his character and willingness to go back out there and just get killed again and again. At least he wasn't running away on every play, little girly screams lifting to the cheap seats, like Pickles was.  Will he be good this year? Honestly, the odds are stacked against him. They are on every young QB in the league, and he had more piled against him. Maybe Canales can fix him and the team. I sure hope so. If not, it's back to the drawing board and we'll have wasted two seasons. I really don't want that to happen.
