Are smaller players more injury-prone?

Did you look at the physics article on force on a smaller object above ? That’s the baseline. Physics. A Yukon hitting a Prius vs a Yukon hitting an Explorer. Other than that there is nothing to predict what will happen to hTe at 190 pounds. 

 

That's what's so cool about science. There's no one correct answer.

But where is that line? At what point is it not a problem or at least an acceptable problem.

That's what no one is saying. Where's that line where it's too much of an issue?

 

You are asking an unanswerable question. You are asking a math question, when you should be asking a mental question. Knowing Young is probably going to get hurt at some point. How comfortable are you with that risk? There's your line. You're welcome.

 

If you have concerns about Youngs' health. Draft Stroud. 

 

If you don't have concerns with Youngs health. Well first off, you're an idiot. But mainly, go ahead and draft him. 

 

I got 99 problems, but my QBs health ain't one of them. Cuz I took Stroud.

So I'm an idiot. 

I'm not anymore worried about Young getting hit than I am any other because I know bad hits can happen to anyone. Again, it doesn't matter how big you are if you get hit in just wrong way at the wrong spot in the wrong moment. 

And you may take Stroud, but your team might be picking Young.

And every player is going to get hurt at some point.....every player is always at risk of a season or career ending injury at some point either by contact or a non-contact injury and there is absolutely no way to predict who it is or when it is. 

So draft nobody.

I thought it was obvious I was having fun. But obviously I was wrong.

 

You were asking for a line. I gave you one. Sorry I didn't solve your dilemma.

 

Tough crowd.

But he does run. That's part of my concern. A big part of his game is scrambling around buying time and getting himself into throwing lanes. That tends to lead to more hits. He's similar to Mahomes in that regard. He rarely runs for rushing yardage but he does plenty of scrambling around behind the LOS.

In 2021 he was playing within the pocket a lot more because of his weapons.

in 2022 Bryce scrambled more out of necessity due to less weapons than 2021.

A bit like CJ scrambled more vs UGA?because he played a better defense than he faced his whole career…

I think many ppl only watched 2022 & made up their minds that he is not a pocket passer. He does both!

Bryce Young will not be shortest starting QB in the league at 5ft 10 1/2.

Kylar Murray will still have the honor of being the shortest at 5 ft 10 1/8.

Russel Wilson is  5 ft 10 5/8.  Wilson is not known for being injury plagued and has 2SB trips and a ring.

That 1/8 of an inch isn't going to get Bryce hurt or stop him from taking us to the promised land.

As for weight and muscle, he can put it on.  CMC did.  Of course CMC had all his injuries AFTER he bulked up.

Where did I say he wasn't a pocket passer? I said that scrambling is a big part of his game. Because it is.

Didn’t say u said that. I said many ppl.

u have been moderate in these debates so my responses are not directed at u specifically, just general perceptions by many huddlers.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
