On Tuesday, FOX Sports NFL insider Jay Glazer joined The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

 

“Obviously, 1—it’s Bryce Young. That’s where they’re going,” he said. “I think that people were trying to smokescreen right now that they’re not. There’s a big drop-off for everybody. Everybody’s bored, it was Bryce Young first, then even though he’s got a smaller frame.

“But it’s interesting because Houston at 2—that’s the guy they wanted. They weren’t able to move up for him. Obviously, that’s who Carolina wanted. That’s who the Raiders wanted.”

Here's hoping Bryce Young has a great rookie year and excels to the point that the Texans and Raiders still feel badly about not being able to draft him.

All the reasoning behind the BY hate is honestly pretty sad. The he's short jokes coming from dudes near or under the same height, I know a lot of you wish you were 6ft also and capable of half of what this kid can do. Napoleon complex is a sad thing that isn't really acknowledged as a mental disorder but the "size bros" as some put it are really looking pathetic by deferring to "their concern for his durability".

Is it still technically NIL now that he's out of college? I think these are the first of his pro deals. 

Yep. These deals would have to be considered just pro deals since he's no longer playing in college. And since they're with national brands, the NFL has to be licking their collective chops in anticipation that he's the next big star for the league.

The Young fanboys are not any better.  You are actually turning people off the guy due to you annoying fans. Is the playbook to label people in some derogatory fashion who question your idols abilities? Because I was a fan until you obnoxious lot showed up.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
