So this is supposed to be our new QB

The “I don’t want Young but totally support him if he were our QB” group is strong in this one… for the 47391st time. We. Get. It. 
 

How many times and ways are we going to repeat the same cheesy crap over and over again. You’ll never accept Young because of size. That’s fine. Awesome. But we’re sitting here trying to knitpick things that don’t exist? Trying to make anyone afraid of 36 year old Calais Campbell? Man yeah can’t wait for his blazing speed to destroy our tackles and blindside Young and spear him into oblivion.. 

Let me ask the Stroud crowd HONESTLY. Had he scored highly on this test, would it be disregarded or put on a pedestal? And I’m a Young guy and that test means nothing to me, the tape he put up does.

If the coaching staff feels like Young has everything they are looking for other than size, they’ll draft him and make sure he packs on 10-15 pounds of muscle prior to his first pro snap.  I remember everyone wondering if 160 pound Devonte Smith would survive in the nfl.  Dude goes across the middle and absorbs hits like he’s AJ Brown.

Just stated a fact. 

This is how the Stroud crowd works. Slight Young however they feel fit but use the weak cop out of “but I’ll accept him if he’s our qb”. You don’t like him because he’s small and volatile. I won’t try to convince you to be comfortable with that. It’s valid. That’s fine. But I will keep the same sentiment that I think Stroud is destined for mid and won’t try to convince you otherwise.

The good news is, I don’t give a poo what you think, and you shouldn’t give a poo what I think. He’s slight, and skinny. Don’t want it.

And how can you prove that will happen. He may be a bust or he may or he may be mediocre. He needs field time and prove he can do this and nothing is automatic.

Based on everything I’ve watched. (The only thing that should matter to everyone). Regardless of most circumstances, Young balled. He has so much “magic” to his game. Does he beat the potentially best UGA and CFL defense all time in the championship if Jameson doesn’t tear his acl early in the second quarter? He makes a lot of something out of nothing and I just don’t think we’ve seen his ceiling yet.

    • I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.
    • This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.
    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
