there is no way on Gods green earth that he is 190 pounds

 

I wouldn't go that far. I mean I'm 5'9" and 188 at 63 yrs old, in decent shape for my age. It's not that much of a stretch to say a young athlete an inch taller can be a pound or 2 heavier than me.

The fact is Young's weight is a major problem.  He can say whatever he wants to say his weight is but, the truth shows on the field.   At less than 200 lbs when a 330+ pound defensive lineman grabs you.  You're not getting away.  It was very clear that if someone got to him the chances of him breaking the tackle were slim. 

They ranted and raved about his pocket awareness and how well he could maneuver the pocket.  That is as long as no one gets his hands on him.  9 times out of 10 he's not going to break the tackle. 

We got spoiled by Cam who regularly broke tackles and made big plays.  Young isn't going to do that.  This is why we have to have a stellar offensive line. Until we have one.  Teams are going to come after him and bet they reach him before he can get a pass off.  They don't have to worry about him breaking tackles and making big plays.

Fixable...

90% is optimistic. What NFL QBs are shorter than Bryce? The last successful QB under 5’9” was 60 years ago. 

But he is measured at 5'10 1/8 officially, so even saying that is disingenuous. Kyler Murray is also 5'10 1/8, so he's not even the only QB in the NFL who is currently that height.

2 of 94 are 5'10.

Not trying to argue one way or another here but can we be realistic about that measurement? Is it including the hair?

I mean looking at this he's actually even a little shorter than Kyler. If we're going to discuss this let's at least put all the cards on the table.

Nevermind height, it’s about the FRAME of each.  Kyler’s a pretty big dude and a workout warrior.  Bryce is short but also very slight.  He needs to be hitting the weightroom hard this off-season.

      First OTA's Monday and Tuesday

      If you only look at measurables, Mingo and Legette might seem similar.  But when you actually look at them and watch them play, they aren't close to the same.   And this is coming from someone who is skeptical about Legette, although ultimately I believe he will work out.  I've just always disagreed with the comparisons to Mingo.   Mingo tests better than he plays/runs, whereas Legette plays/runs as well as he tests.

      Where will the wins come from? (my early predictions)

      By Mage · Posted

      As bad as things were with the Panthers last year, we still had 4 other games outside of the 2 we won that we came very close to winning.  Could throw the Falcons game in there too, it was tied going into the 4th. I'm not really sure what to expect this year.  I don't think we'll make the playoffs.  However, we play in a very weak division where no team has a standout QB.  On paper, our OL should be good, and could be great if Ikem improves.  That alone could help mask a lot of problems on offense.  Should allow us to run the ball better.  Even if Bryce doesn't improve, the OL should at the very least give him more time to make the easy throws underneath and let a guy like Legette work his magic after the catch. And I think this defense in a 2nd year with Evero should, at the very least, be in the top 16.  I'm expecting our run defense to be as good as it has been in years. I think this team could push for 7-8 wins.  But it could also finish with 2 wins again.  That is just how the league works.  Jets offense was miserable last year, and yet they still won 7 games.   We won't really get a good feel of it until after the preseason, and even then, who knows.
