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

Fantastic video.

It's no coincidence that all the footage is from the LSU, Georgia and Texas games either - teams that field multiple NFL level athletes on defence. 

And there will be 11 of them on the field. Not three. Or two. 

Try this: Take nearly any one of these SEC college players that made an NFL a roster, look at their  body and their game at the end of their college career, vs following just one season in the NFL. Which one do you think wins a one on one? College self or 1 year NFL vet self?

I may feel okay betting on Young with a top ten pick, maybe. I’d feel really good about making it in the 20s.

But I don’t make that bet at 1.1 having to pay so much extra to get the chance. When I say I don’t want Young, well  arbitrarily I don’t simply because of his size, he falls outside my okay zone. But there is a chance he overcomes that and also overcomes a suspect arm (in my mind), and I would take it at the right price. 1.1 plus considerable future and current assets- is so far out of that right price range I couldn’t even really take it seriously.

Interesting more voices are suggesting the Tepper's are steering the selection.

Also the Stetson Bennett remark stings.

Frank Reich wants a specimen. Remember Tepper had his hand in getting rid of all the tall handsomes in favor of short scrappies.

BY as the pick has Teppers spectacles and ketchup stained little fingers all over this.

The anarchist in me is amused by your commitment to this.

Flag won't save him if this man hits him it'll only get you a few yards but your qb will be broken. Which is why you need someone to stand tall get the ball out quick and not run around like a chicken with his head cut off..won't work in the pros guys are too fast

Looking National Football League GIF by Los Angeles Rams

Yeah because Young has never been hit by a 300 pound defensive linemen before smh

    • I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
