Are smaller players more injury-prone?

Young is 5’10 and 190lbs with slow release and noodle arm and already recurring shoulder injuries.  His NFL career will be short lived.

Reoccuring? How so

Everyone keeps saying Young has no durability issues must be ignoring that he missed a game this year due to injury?

But was that because he was smaller than everyone else? Or because he was a QB throwing the ball?

Again, where is the evidence that a smaller QB is more prone to injury than a bigger one. 

Hint...you aren't going to find it because there isn't any.

So our former qb and current head coach doesnt know what he is talking about.  Cool take

He missed games in both seasons with shoulder injuries from what I read.

It’s weird when everyone else in the class throws and you’re just standing there doing nothing. 

Sure if you want it to be, its happened plenty in the past.

That's inaccurate.  He missed one last year and played great the week after against UT.

He missed one game last year and 0 games before that.

You know why it happened. He put on water weight to pretend bulk up for the scale because his weight DOES MATTER or he wouldn’t have been BSing it

Young avoided serious injury during his time starting at Alabama, but there was a somewhat concerning quote from Nick Saban about Young’s shoulder injury from October.

”Bryce has a little AC sprain in his shoulder. We’ll have to take it day-to-day. I think he’s OK. He doesn’t have a serious injury. We didn’t think he could go back in the game because I don’t think he had much steam on throwing the ball. He’s had these before, and in a few days, he starts to respond pretty well. We’ll have to see how it goes.”

But size didn't matter. You take hits and you're going to feel it, regardless of your size. There is no accurate predictor of injuries regardless of size aside from an actual injury history, and even then it's still a weak predictor. 

Again this is a weird take when everyone and their brother are concerned about Youngs size but you are the only one that is saying size doesnt matter

I have a report CJ Stroud got injured and missed a game for the same thing. Is he immediately hurt when he gets to the NFL.

If teams didnt draft QBs who choose to skip throwing at the combine they'd have missed a ton of great prospects its not even the slightest bit weird or unheard of.

I believe Stroud's was two years ago.  So an argument could be made that the more recent one is from wear and tear due to constantly taking hits.  It's a pretty weak argument I admit, but still one that could be made as one prospect finished his most recent season not missing any games.

I mean sure, but he's not the first to do it and not the last. People love JSN who didnt run the 40 because he wanted a friendly track to run on to hide his biggest weakness. Combine is the combine if you base everything on that good luck.

“He’s had these before”. That would be a recurring issue.
