Peter King: Bryce Young inching closer to Carolina

[Wolfcop]

Seems like a smokescreen to me. Guess we will find out in 2 weeks.

According to Steve Smith people are viewing Young processing as elite and a level above Stroud. I believe they said Stroud can be like Dak, where he can be amazing when in rhythm but can struggle when not. 

 

If teams really are viewing Youngs ability to process and diagnose as head and shoulders above everyone else I think its going to be hard to say no.

Maybe but flags don't keep anyone from getting hurt

This is 100% a smokescreen.  They're dangling the carrot at Houston and Indy.

where is this coming from that the texans are in love with young?

Texans fans seem to think it, but Lance Zeurline I think who hit on what they drafted last year I guess said he's heard they dont like Stroud as much and may take Anderson or Wilson if Young isnt there. I've heard a few Texans beat writers float there is a thought out there it could be true.

As with everything who actually knows.

You know…at the end of the day we all love the Special Juan!!!

All this just feels like a news campaign by us to convince Houston we’re taking Young so they trade up to get him.

isn’t that every defensive coordinators plan regardless of who the QB is?

At the combine Young weighed 204 and Stroud weighed 214 at 6'3.  Apparently those 10lbs make all the difference in if you get hurt when you get sacked or not.  Even if you say thats padded weight by Young there isnt this huge weight difference like people act.  Especially if you consider the fact Stroud is so much taller which means those 10 pounds are stretched more thin.   Even if you figure Young is 195, if you factor in height, Young has more mass than Stroud.   195 at 5'10 is more mass per inch of height than 6'3 214 lbs.

Two things stick out for me:

• Before the CHI trade they were tied steady to Young and there was little debate about it.
• Stroud's agent is Deshaun Watson's. They won't avoid him forever but I can't imagine they're eager to work with him.

Pretty sure BY has Watson's agent as well.

If the Texans are opposed to taking Stroud, things could get very interesting with a trade. Hopefully it would be worth that #12 to them. Could you imagine??

Little debate?   Dude you got a link?

People bring this up a lot but I don't think it really means anything. We don't know how their relationship is with the agent. Just because Watson forced his way out and was a problem doesn't mean they blame the agent at all. They got a lot out of that trade, possibly with the agent's help working together to get it. We just don't know or have any real insight into that situation.
