Are smaller players more injury-prone?

Didn't look like it from what I read.

It’s based on injury reports over like 8 season and it’s on a per game basis. 
 

If smaller players had the same injury chance to get the normal injuries all QBs did like knees and what not, and then an added injury chance at a certain type of other injuries it would definitely show up in the data over that sample. Unless the smaller QBs had a some other reduced injury risk than bigger ones did in a different facet, and that balanced it out. But end of day injury per game played stayed would illustrate injury risk.

Those other types of injuries aren't the ones that concern people worried about Young's frame, though.

It's the kind that happen when somebody slams into him with either high impact or a lot of weight.

The data doesn't separate those.

Ah so are you saying you’d guess lighter guys may have less knee and ligament injuries and more concussions/shoulder injuries?

The NFL is a totally different animal compared to college football. The NFL opponents will give Young a real test of his durability.

I'm also not sure why they've highlighted a play where Young's OLine gives him an age to complete a PA bomb down the field. 

How does that support their argument?

I'm saying I don't care.

The size correlation with things like lower body injuries aren't what scare me.

Likely most others don't care either because the concerns are over the high impact stuff.

I think this article (or another article) stated that the number one injury to QBs is shoulder, fwiw.

Like I  said, there is a legitimate case to be made for the ability to see the field from the pocket.

Injury potential because of size is not a legitimate concern because it's based on nothing more than unsubstantiated fears.

Bro

Y'all will find any excuse necessary to disregard proven skillset's. Drew Brees was literally known for not being able to see over his OL. Yet him being able to Anticipate will bring him to the hall of Fame.

Bryce has the same track record.

I could understand if he got his balls batted like baker. Pun intended. But he's shown over and over he can manipulate the pocket and throw guys open.

It's not a concern.

Would that not be baked into the data, if all size players get a similar rate of certain types injuries but small players take other injuries more due to physicality you should see a bump in small players getting injured comparatively because you are adding an injury risk on top of an already assumed one.

Shhh, don't tell them an injury is an injury. It doesn't fit their narrative

No but the fact is this give the opponent gameplan to target with the small QB.

Nah this is crazy take coming from Cam's former team

All QBs are targeted. If anything the physically intimidating ones are who get extra mustard on their hits.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
