Bijan vs Bryce

OK I know at face value this is going to come off as super naiive and over simplistic but humor me. Official measurements:

Bijan Robinson: 5'11'' 215 lbs

Bryce Young: 5'10'' 204 lbs

Bijan is supposed to be a 3 down back and the most electric offensive skill player in the draft. He is literally going to be running into a wall of 330 lbs DTs 25 times per game, and when he passes them, will have massive LBs converging on him at 20 mph.

Now subtract 10lbs and 1 inch and suddenly a guy who might get a hand on him 6 times per game, protected by whistle-happy refs who throw flags if you breathe a little too hard on the QB, and he's going to snap like a twig? And keep in mind, he's going to have access to professional weight trainers and dieticians so the prospect of gaining 5-10 lbs of muscle isn't an unrealistic ask.

I get it, the NFL is a brutal sport and injuries are ubiquitous. But it doesn't make sense to me that a QB has to be 6'4, 230 lbs but a player like Devonta Smith who makes Bryce Young look like John Cena, can go 2 years into his career without missing a single game despite getting hit more times per game than a typical qb.

RB’s are prone to lower body injure’s but they are usually engaged in forward motion so they have control over how they are hit. 

QB’s are going 360 degrees from center consistently or standing in place with the much bigger people hitting them, most of the time without control over how they are hit.

Robinson to the Falcons was something I wasn't prepared for.

 

Falcons will be our biggest threat in the NFC South this year. If you haven't been paying attention they have significantly improved that defense. Now they have a core of skill players Pitts/London/Robinson.

 

They don't need much from their QB with those weapons.

A lesson in physics…

 

Would you rather A) a 300lb lineman tackle you while you’re running as fast as you can opposite their direction or B) get tackled by the same 300lb lineman while you’re feet are planted in the ground with zero momentum on your side?

Nah. Defense is still below standard and you are nothing without a QB. Us with CMC and DJ is a perfect example of this
