i didnt day his size will allow him to withstand hits

 

i said his size may allow him to be more agile to avoid hits.  thats not some crazy statement 

He is not that athletic to be some savant at making people miss in the nfl, if smaller guys had an advantage to getting tagged in the nfl then you would see more smaller qbs.  That simply is not the case.  He is at a distinct disadvantage in regards to his size.  You cannot argue that

I've also seen him tackled by pass rushers who just had to use a single arm to bring him down. 

This isn't the case of a small RB being an advantage 'cos he can hide behind his Olinemen. 

The lsu tape posted yesterday had numerous examples of this

 

being smaller is not an advantage, wtf is the huddler talking about?

i wonder how drew brees lasted so long

A) Brees is the most accurate passer in the nfl and was famous for his quick release

B) If you have to compare young to brees then you are already behind the 8 ball

C) Young has made his living getting flushed from the pocket in college and while having 9-10 seconds to throw he still makes plays.  Thats not going to be the norm in the nfl

Being shorter doesn't help anyone avoid sacks, especially not when the rules penalize headhunting.

Unless they were planning to swing for your skull, being shorter is not an advantage.

    • I mean, I hear what y'all are saying, but Derrick could have been positive without being negative.  He essentially accused people of not seeing Bryce's improvement because of their desire to not be wrong. He could've kept it about Bryce and the team. For example, he could've said: "Bryce has made strides, and we believe in him. This coming season, his continued improvement will turn a lot of people into believers."  That would've been supportive of his teammate and sent a message to the doubters. That being said, his tact almost summoned and left the door ajar for more skepticism. That's my take anyway. Bryce has improved from the bottom to perhaps skirting the line between the bottom third and mid-third at best...after three seasons. We've all seen it. Yay! In my mind, Bryce has still got a long way to go and a short time to get there, but my expectations are top five--at least top 10--always! Yes, I am a fan, so there's that, but I don't believe it's unreasonable to expect excellence. Hopefully the Panthers FO has the same mindset (and that doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with what we gave up to acquire him). That is the lens I'm looking through. Derrick Brown has his homer glasses on. He just needs to be more diplomatic and thoughtful with his words in my opinion, but I get it that he's a good teammate.
    • I have no doubt the Canes will come out like gangbusters, huge bounce back from game one - my only concern is Freddie, if he lets in a couple of softies and Dobes stays hot we could be in trouble.
