look at how the game is evolving. It is turning into a shotgun heavy league. In scenarios like that it’s no longer about the prototypical Drew Bledsoe sized QB, it’s about who’s processing the play and reading the field fastest.

 

hence why the coaching staff and scouts were always sold on Young, the Chef Curry of QBs in College. 
 

I started to come around to Young as I started researching how the game is evolving, it’s not about where the NFL offense is today, where’s it going to be in 5 years

The major concern about Young isnt his overall game or how the nfl offensive philosophy is changing.  Its simply can his body withstand the punishment.  Thats pretty much it.

The greats usually know how to avoid taking major hits (Brady/Manning) while the athletically gifted typically try to enforce their imposing ways on the defense (Newton, Jackson)

 

I suspect that Young is going to learn to slide very quickly and know when to throw it away and live for another play

And the 5'10 180 lb All-Pro Prototype is real? 

Lmao...our QB is going to be one of the smallest dudes in the NFL. There is no way around that. There is no road map to success here. If he doesn't succeed, we will know why.

I'd rather have fuging Brock Purdy with this staff than Bryce Young.

Sure, all of that.  But the fact remains he is still going to get clobbered at some point.   Even with one of the best lines in the nfl Brady still got sacked 22 times and thats not including knock downs.    Wilson who people are comparing Young to was sacked a league high 63 times and he was hurt basically the entire season.

Matt Corral is 6'1 215 pounds and he looked small in preseason. It was like he was being swallowed up by the pocket, and I kept thinking "he's going to get hurt." Then he got hurt trying to run for his life. Young is 5'10 190 pounds, and I can't even imagine how small he's going to look behind our enormous o-line. Our center is 6'5, and you know our tackles are basically the largest humans on Earth that can still play a sport. I can't help but wonder if the Panthers are actually taking Young, but all signs do point to him being the selection.

Its easy to imagine, he's just a tad shorter than PJ.  PJ played behind the exact same line that Coral did in preseason, just PJ didn't get put on IR for the season like the much larger Coral did.

I'm old enough to remember people complaining that Steve Smith was too short to be a WR.

We don’t have a bad offensive line and the coaches can teach him to protect himself. People are overblowing the injury concerns.

      Dak Prescott

      By Saca312 · Posted

      Adding on to that - I know I read from some reporter that Dak Prescott's mentality is extremely fragile. Get in his head, and he loses focus and confidence. Per that reporter,  anytime a big game comes up, he starts to have the jitters and hasn't seem to overcome that slump. Dak would be an upgrade over Bryce as things currently stand. But Dak has not proven he can play in games that matters without choking. Bryce hasn't had the chance to show anything in the NFL, so nothing much to say there. But based on his history, he's done well in college in the national championship. Theoretically he should be more confident in big games if he gets to that point. For that alone, I'd rather keep rolling the dice on Bryce or set our sights higher. I wouldn't touch Dak with a 10 ft pole given his choking habits.

      The Untold Story of Xavier Leggette

      By shaq · Posted

      Same here brother, love Xavier I think he’s gonna become a quick fan favorite of the team. He already has gone viral for his country accent, we have no face of the franchise currently outside of maybe Derrick Brown in terms of media attention. I would not be surprised if in the next 4 years Xavier becomes that media darling we used to have in the 2010s with Luke, Cam, Josh Norman, CMC, etc.

      I haven't been high on any of the WRs we drafted in the past.   This kid though is someone I actually wanted. I have a feeling we finally hit big with this kid. I'm expecting him to be a DJ Moore caliber WR.
