More Smoke? Adam Schefter: CAR traded for Young, then checked other QBs. They did not bridge gap.

There are a small handful of Bryce "haters" and another handful (myself being the ringleader) who just enjoy poo posting jokes about his size to rile up the fanboys. The vast majority of us just want a stud of a QB at #1. There really aren't many here who seem steadfastly dug in on one particular prospect or staunchly opposed to any particular prospect. Folks blinded by love or hate tend to just see what they want to perceive.

I love Bryce Young and he’s my #1. 
 

Well timed jokes about his size will never not be funny though.

I guess they can continue being quite the laughing stock. It would probably behoove them to take Stroud and Jax S-N

Makes sense for a team built with a power running game oline to draft the guy that will put us in shotgun formation 98% of the time.

As a fan of Bryce from the beginning, the whining from his haters in this thread is entertaining. Dude dominated in high school and won MVP of the all American game. Then he was great in college and won the Heisman over Stroud and others  

One game vs UGA and 4 inches/9lbs doesn’t change any of the above. 

He's also always been on teams way better than the competition. Won't be the case in the NFL.

Joe Burrow was on one of the most talented college football teams of all time.

I just want us to draft the guy the consensus within the organization seems as the best QB prospect. Ultimately, it's their jobs on the line. They're all getting fired in a couple of years if this dude busts and we're right back here again.

 

100%.  The "I'd be fine with either" comments are absurd. I expect they will be balls to the wall on whoever they believe is the one and I will be with them

I don't care if it's Young, just weird that they tried #3 pick with Arizona as well. No chance of getting Bryce at #3. 

 

Since trade compensation was similar they went with #1 instead.

Are you talking about Stroud?

It would also be quite ironic if the little guy manages to play a mostly injury free career, while the hulking specimen we had in Cam was just destroyed.

i'm 6'5'' and it fuging hurts real bad when i fall down. while my kid who is Bryce's size (he's 6) just springs back up like nothing happened
