Everyone kept telling us his size didnt matter. It only took 2 games for him to end up
 on the injury report.

This is such a stupid take and falls flat when Anthony Richardson is also tracking to not play this week and was also hurt week 1 and missed a few snaps.

 
Bash his play all you want, that's fair game - but the size bro argument is just dumb.

The size concern is much less of a factor than his physical traits. Other prospects like Stroud have the arm talent to make downfield throws into tight windows. Young refused to throw at the combine and his deep throws at his pro day were not pretty. Yes our WR's are not doing well and the playcalling is poor. But expecting Bryce Young to make this a dynamic offense was a tall order. It was always going to be dink and dunk with a heavy run game.

I really do not understand where this comes from.  Bryce has show the ability in college and in the pros (when given the chance) to zip and fit tight window throws into the intermediate level (20-25 yards).  Just watch the QB school from last week on him.  He doesn't look like he has any less arm strength than anybody else.  Carr didn't seem to have a stronger arm than Bryce.  And on the 2 or 3 deep shots we've attempted in 2 weeks, Bryce has overthrown the guy all 3 times.  He routinely dropped deep ball dimes in college when he had a guy like Jameson Williams streaking down the field.

Maybe they had a WR revolt and want some deep targets.
Which Frank wont call with his baby in the game yet.

Because he doesn’t think the OL will protect him on longer developing routes? Okay I know that is a stretch but I am suspicious of the reasons we shorten/compress the field in the passing game.
Dalton, come one down.

He had jameson Williams 2 years ago, last year it wasn't the same. Last year he couldnt hit guys in stride, all his deep passes were flat or had no velocity,  receivers had to slow down or stop on routes to catch them....he even threw some flat out ducks.  I pointed this out during the draft process but of course most people are only gonna pay attention to the result.

Regardless if this is a smokescreen to protect BY or the real deal, an injury this early in an NFL qb's  career whose biggest knock predraft was that he may be too small ( ie injury prone) to play in the NFL, itdoesn't give me a lot of confidence in this team, be it the front office, coaching staff, or players going forward.

    • This is gonna be longest six weeks ever 
    • This 1000%.  Hey who wants to sign with the guy that couldn't even get his client the guaranteed contract of a 3rd round pick?  Lmao
    • I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
