Thomas Davis on Bryce Young and the Panthers Draft

Should we have passed on Dan Morgan? 

No, and I'm not saying we should necessarily pass on Young.

It's something that you have to factor into the decision though.

I just dont see Dan Morgan being a good example of that... I see where you are going though.

Morgan's pic was in response to your mention of players with no injury history.

It's valid that injuries are damn near impossible to predict. That's why I don't necessarily think it's fair to call someone whose career was derailed by injuries "a bust".

Not to derail the thread, but how's Ten58? I'm thinking about a Charlotte trip next week, with a few friends, and may go for dinner. Anyone checked it out yet? We are going brewery and restaurant hopping.

for any QB to get hurt.  For any player to get hurt. It's part of the game you can't control. It's incompetance to have the mentality of "we cant add this player to our roster because he might get hurt"

A) I didn’t say we shouldn’t draft him. I like Young, he’s my second favorite QB in this draft and the only other one is want at #1. B) the point I was referring to is that it doesn’t matter that big hits are down when a tiny person is more likely to be more greatly affected by a single vicious hit than an average size person. Therefore, it only takes one matters more when discussing a tiny person.

To be clear, I’m less worried about his body deteriorating over the course of four or five years than I am of one vicious hit ending his career that wouldn’t have been as catastrophic on someone with more mass. Might never get hit like that, but he also might get hit and ended when the hit wouldn’t have ended someone else’s career.

Ok.  Prove it.

Because the only analysis shared here shows the exact opposite which jives with our history of Cam and Corral.

Give examples or show an analysis.

Luke too. No history. But LB's tend to hit a lot more people with their heads than QB's do.
