Bryce Young was and is widely considered to be the number QB and player in the draft. Deal with it!

You said that he had a noodle arm. That's categorically untrue.

When you struggle to throw the ball past 40 yards, that’s a noodle arm.  Watch the highlight videos, most times his wide open WR had to nearly stop to catch the deep ball.  Young will have Baker Mayfield, Alex Smith ceiling in NFL.  He will dink and dunk ball in NFL.

He doesn't struggle. That's a lie.

And since you want to play the scouting report game (like it really makes a difference), here you go:

There are far more draft profiles that list his arm strength as not elite. Dunno what to tell you.  He's got the weakest arm of the top prospects in terms of strength, but he can still be plenty good. Arm strength can be overrated IMO.

I didn't say he had "elite" arm strength. He has "good" arm strength. He doesn't have a "noodle arm." That's ludicrous! 

Arm strength is overrated period. If it took pure arm strength to win in the NFL, Jeff George and Jamarcus Russell would have been beasts. Arm strength is low down the totem pole. You just want a QB who can make all the throws.

There’s a nice little montage of him doing what you say he can’t.

 Im not really sure what you watched but that montage doesn’t really help your case that he has a strong arm.  In each throw he had to plant and then fully go through his motion to generate power.

His arm isn’t a noodle like Ken Dorsey but his arm strength will be in the bottom half of the NFL for sure the moment he’s drafted. Not a huge ordeal but it means he has less room for mistakes when he throws.

The argument is noodle arm, he’s got a fine arm, it’s definitely not elite. 
 

The whole hyperbole in here on Young gets exhausting lol. The video was in response to someone saying he can’t throw it 40 yards without his receiver stopping for it.

Jeff George hated watching film and Russell came into the league with a drug problem.   Not really apples to apples

Interesting to know if those throws were in 2021 or last season because when people post them its always the season before the last. Personally, i have been closely paying attention to how he threw after he banged up his shoulder because there was some struggle at first.

That's what you're supposed to be doing.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
