Hall of Famer Bill Parcells on Bryce Young's Size: 'He Better Walk on Water'

4.5 inches shorter, technically.

You guys crack me up.  I barely 6’0 180 with shoes on.. but my arm is strong enough to make every throw needed to make in the NFL.  I would bet on myself.  I’m a southpaw with a cannon.  Gimme a true gamer and a leader vs 3-4 inches.. Give the kid the benefit of the doubt. There are anomalies. I’ll be happy with whoever gets drafted.  9/10 times it will not go the way you want it to.  That’s part of being a fan.  Should be used to it by now

I don't think he's solely talking about injuries though. He's also talking about being able to effectively play the game at the NFL level at that size. Yeah, it can be done. But yeah, you've gotta be REALLY damn good and really creative to make up for the physical shortcomings.

I mean, Smitty was a dominate outside #1 NFL WR at 5'9" but who else is there that fits that mold? You're kinda talking about a one of one type situation. That's what we need Bryce Young to be. One of one. Yeah, that's a big ask. That's what Parcells is getting at.

 I agree Parcells has valid points and I admit I am also concerned about Bryce Youngs size.

However, if  any recent QB has the ability to overcome the size factor I feel it's Young. Having said that, I hope my assumption turns out to be correct. .

It has been done.  Doug Flutie was not as good as Young.  He had a 12-year NFL career.

He was 5'10"  180lbs.

When watching film on Bryce Young his quickness of movement really stood out to me.

His quick twist and the way he moves his feet in the pocket should be a positive for avoiding and taking hard hits,

    • Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.  
    • I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......  
    • Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
