russ has to diet to play below 225, little different body type.

5’11” 204 at the combine. Maybe Russ in his 30s has that issue. Bryce is only 21 which means his body will naturally get thicker as he ages and the NFL dietitians won’t have trouble adding some weight to his frame.

I have been a Stroud guy during most of this process, but the thing that changed my mind on Young was this: my son is a smaller QB for his age, and I want him to have a role model who wears a Panthers jersey. Bryce seems like a good one to pattern your game after as a QB who is smaller in stature. I would still be excited about CJ, but the father in me wants Bryce.

The NFL needs him to succeed. Steph changed basketball from a tall person's game to an any person's game--that's huge for marketability and significantly expands your future player pool. 

Bryce can be the same for the NFL, especially in an era of youth football numbers declining, more people worried about life-changing injuries, player retiring in their 20s and early 30s. They will probably institute rule changes over time to support him to--just like the NBA basically did for Steph (even though they'll never admit as much).

Look how articulate you’ve become moving over here to gods country

Steph is 6'3"ish, not that out of the ordinary. He doesn't get those comparisons because of height

I personally don’t think you have anything to worry about.  Young is going to be great.  I understand this idea that he has always played for great teams, back even back to high school.  People ding him for that which to me makes no sense.  He elevated his teams.  Bryce is special

Don't get too cocky. You haven't been far from it.

I hope all the mods will be more lenient come draft time.  This is one of the more emotional drafts for us in memory.  Thanks for what you do but folks will get a little nuts

Steph definitely changed the game of basketball, but not for the reason you listed lol

Why are you comparing Bryce to Steph? Steph is 6'2", Iverson was shorter. Steph is not short for a PG. 

I think Muggsy Bogues is a better comparison. At the most, Spud Webb. 5'6" 133 pounds, now that is undersized for a PG.

I can't make any promises. Someone gets too drunk/pissed and goes way off the rails then I'll put them in timeout, but I don't plan on being strict.

But if we draft Levis I'm banning everyone and then myself.

If we draft Levis the site will implode, no need.

      XL about to turn the corner

      We keep referring to it as Over drafting him like he was really a first round draft pick. We traded up at the end of the first to get him in a deal with Buffalo so that we could grab him and get an extra year on his contract if needed. At the time that sounded like "If he really soars, we can get that fifth year extension automatically". It really probably meant, "We might need five years to really get him up to starting WR speed."  He was basically a second rounder with a potentially meaningless pick as well to pay for those rights. Still, I think that with him we are on the Kelvin Benjamin bubble right now... will he ever be more than just an athlete? Can he really learn to fight and compete for that ball? Can he learn professional routes? Can he handle the fame and more money than he's ever seen in his life? Can he handle all of the pressure a fanbase puts on him? Tough shoes to fill. Not sure I'd want to be in them. I hope he gets it all together soon. A lot, most draftees, can't. Good luck and God bless to the young man. He's got a lot of work to do in a very unforgiving workplace.

      This is the #1 reason I defend Bryce. Everyone around him is learning on the job, including him. But hey in 3 years we could have a talented offense that grew up together.

      Nope. No balling out but he could latch on as a backup elsewhere. I still think he would be the weak link on a ridiculously loaded team that would create problems in the Playoff and while facing other really good teams. His limitations are just to much at this level. I have zero fear of playing him in the future. It's a litmus test for the D, granted the D is pretty awful currently so none needed.
