This folks. His playing weight was 185. He added water weight for the combine weigh in and then didn’t reweigh at his pro day. Know why? Because by then he was under 200 pounds again. 
 

He’s not some kid who is wired to be the first guy in the gym and work out for hours like Cam was. If he was he’d be thicker. Alabama has world class facilities and weight trainers and nutritionists. Again, look at pictures of the two guys you are comparing. Bijan is shredded and has muscle on him. Bryce is not that. 
 

But then again, neither was Tua and Mac Jones was fat. At Alabama they don’t hit the weights or aren’t pushed to as a position group. 

I think he fattened up for the Combine. That's why he stayed in that hoodie. 

I don't think the kid is averse to working. Some people are just slightly built. I expect he'll probably add some weight at the NFL level but I doubt he's ever a guy playing at 200+.

I think it’s a Bama thing. Look at Tua. Look at Mac. Look at Bryce. They work hard in other ways. Saban clearly isn’t pushing his QBs in the weight room.

Then why didn't he look bloated or puffy if he added right at 20lbs of water weight?

dri0mau8hedmbzhhkotaYeah, he's wearing a hoodie, but even his face doesn't look puffy or bloated. For comparison:

He's the Panthers' QB now. It's time to let the draft process arguments go.

If by "looking to argue" you mean challenging something you said that I disagree with, then okay sure that's kind of the point of these boards unless you're seeking an echo chamber.  Were you looking to argue when you came in here to disagree with the OP?  I wouldn't say so, but that seems to be an admission by your own perspective.

Yeah trust me I've understood your simple point since the beginning.  I'm agreeing that they take different types of hits, I just disagree that a QB's hits are necessarily more dangerous than a RB's hits.  And certainly not to the level that overcomes the natural wear and tear that a RB accumulates, and not to the level that I can reconcile how it's the primary concern for Bryce Young but a complete afterthought (not even mentioned, actually) when it comes to Bijan Robinson...which was the entire point of the OP.

It’s not just the types of hit. It’s the fact that his body is built to play QB. A RBs body is built specifically for the position and in context should be more durable. He’s also wearing less padding than the RB. 
 

If it was such a simple point why is this concept so complex for you?

1. Not everyone gets bloated in their face when carrying water weight. Plenty of folks keep shredded features in wrestling when carrying water weight to make weight before a match. 
2. Just because he’s our quarterback doesn’t mean we just magically forget and ignore any concerns we have for him. 
You can be a fan without actively blinding ourselves.

Fair enough for 1 and 2. I agree about your fan comment. But hasn't his weight been beat into the ground and salted over by now? The truth is nobody posting here knows what Young weighs and can only guess.

Yeah which is considerably larger than the 169 nonsense from the dude I quoted. 

I mean I don’t know where he got that number from. For him to lose roughly 15 pounds from his already skinny frame during the season he would have looked a little sickly.

Correct. We don’t know for sure. But I didn’t make a thread about Young’s weight. I haven’t made any threads about concerns for Young. Somebody made a thread about comparing the weight of Bijan and Bryce so I felt like I can try and point out the differences for the OP. 
 

His height and weight and been beaten to death. Until the draft starts up again though it’s all folks really seem to want to talk about still here on the forum.

And that's just freaking sad. People could at least talk about other potential picks or even what the offense will look like with Young at the helm.

Once we get some picks tonight as long as they arent super odd this place will get a lot more enjoyable. We are a playoff potential team right now. We should be excited.

Did you watch the video Wow posted? Lombardi says the Panthers could very well win the division.

I hadn’t yet but I agree with Lombardi. I think the one thing we are missing still is a true pass rusher opposite Burns.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
