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.

    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.      
    • I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
