A bit early to be declaring that

it's a bit too early to be saying otherwise, especially when you have people who know and have done the job and have watched Young say that it isn't going to be the issue that you and others are making it out to be.

That remains to be seen, doesn't it? 

no more than you seem to think it will be an issue. like i said in the above post, there are a good few people who know the job and have done the job that are saying that it's just simply not the factor people are saying it's going to be.

you don't have to be able to see over the OL...in fact most QBs done. they just can't. they look through it. they pick their lanes, find their windows, and they make the throws. they've seen that Bryce can do it. they see that he makes throws all over the field, including and especially in the middle of the field without having many balls batted down at all compared to many much taller QBs. 

height just isn't and won't be the factor and it's on you to prove that it is. until it's a demonstrable problem with Young, it isn't one.

His size has always been an issue and will always be an issue.  Thinking otherwise is simply foolishness.

thinking that he hasn't and won't be able to adapt and get the job done anyways is narrowmindedness.

That’s completely here nor there.   Nobody is questioning his skill set.   

I said it's not the big issue everyone is making it out to be. it's not the obstacle to success that people are sure it will be.

All indications are that he has learned to adapt. It's not an issue for him that he hasn't overcome. No reason to believe that he won't be able to carry that over into the pros. Until it shows to be an actual issue that is causing problems, it's not one. 

Just like this whole fragile narrative that has been thrown out there. Until he shows that he can't take the hits, which he has been hit plenty and done just fine afterwards, then he can take whatever hits he takes...just like every other QB.

Of all the concerns about his size that have been thrown out there, he has shown throughout his career that it isn't as big of a concern as people make them out to be.

I personally do not give a rats ass about what gunslinger Jake from 20 years ago play style/tactics says or thinks about Bryce. 

If Jake were a more technical QB i might have a softer stance. And Jake is a legend for this franchise but get that old head mofo away from our young diamond!  

Thank you!!!

Exactly how I feel as well.

    • Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
    • Moton is a class act.  
    • Sure, that is possible. That’s what, an extra 55 yards a game on average and 7 more TDs? What if he’s just 15th?  I imagine they would extend him in that situation due to the belief that he’ll keep trending up. maybe a 3 year contract to prove he can be top 10? Sounds like a Tepper plan.
