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.

    • I mean, if Moore really wants out, then it would behoove the Bears to make it happen sooner than later. X is a lot younger and cheaper, and may be a better fit for Johnson's musings than a disgruntled, unnecessary, overpaid vet. If they can dump his salary and maybe get a fourth or so in return, it may be worth it to them. As for development, I'm not concerned. You're talking about a seeming bust, a day three guy and a UDFA. They are developing relative to their ceilings. I doubt any of them will ever command the coverage, money, or the respect that Moore has acquired. He's a tier above them. Yes, even X. 
    • IMO, if Ceedee plays against us, the game probably goes the other way. Same with Tyreek Hill and the Dolphins. Our team just isn't designed to beat teams with two high level receivers like that. But when you look at the league, how many teams really have two guys of that caliber?  There's nothing wrong with defensive adjustments, but sometimes I think a lot of fans want Evero to call a different play like a game on madden, and defensive football just isn't like that. That said, I thought we did a much better job this season against the Cowboys of flipping Jaycee and at least making them work for it, opposed to last season when they literally just lined CeeDee up on the other side of the field every single snap.  For us to just straight up switch to consistent man coverage, or a different zone, or whatever, we likely would consistently need different personnel on the field. Doing it a few times a game is a gamble and can work, but if we consistently run man coverage against the Cowboys, eventually a RB is going to beat a linebacker, or something of that nature with our personnel. Part of the reason Evero likes this scheme is that, while we have our defaults and presets, what we do is very multiple, and you can do a lot of different things pre and post snap. We are a challenging defense to read. But as you said, if guys are getting beat, it doesn't really matter what you call.
