Just seems you skewed the numbers on height and weight to fit the narrative.  Update bros Wikipedia page if you are so sure?

They inflate sizes in a lot of sports.  I don't think Young is the only one getting a favorable measurement.

I just hope the guy is ready for the jump.

Young was weighed and measured at the Combine.

They don't lie there.

I agree with you about fragile egos. But it is outside the realm of possibility. If we wanted him we should have drafted him. He was falling.

Now instead we get to see if we've found our new PJ Walker...

At this point, I think Bryce must have a fragile ego. The Patriots always drafted a QB, even when their guy was Tom Brady. The Panthers were worried about bringing in any perception of competition. 
 

Now right a wrong and send a fourth and Jack Plummer for Sanders.

How is he going to improve the defense

They should get plenty of time on the field to practice...

It's funny that some people think Perkins is going to change things.  He was fun to watch in the XFL.  Great athlete, but there's a rather substantial difference between Spring and Fall football.  He's going to play a lot against Pittsburg, hope he's a quick study.

Look, if Perkins became the next great rags to riches QB story, please serve me up the crow.  I'll eat all of it.  But remember what happened with the last XFL MVP QB we had...

Kurt Warner and Jake Delhomme are a thing.  It’s happened.  The likelihood of it happening are slim to none, but I will say this - Perkins couldn’t be walking into a better situation.  On paper, he may be the most physically gifted QB on the roster.  When both games we’ve played had every QB that took a snap for the opposing team look equal or better than all three of ours, I would say that bodes well for any QB we signed.

I'm officially retiring my PJ Walker fandom.  No more Lavar Ball memes ever again.  It was a good ride.  But, it's over. 

 

Bryce Perkins?  I mean, THIS is it.  Because EVERYONE knows what time it is!  Just imagine this hitting the air at BOA.

People always love a good underdog story and since we had Jake Delhomme, the fans remember a rags to riches QB success, despite the fact that those are extremely rare. 

This guy is here to eat up snaps in a meaningless game due to injuries. The odds of him making this roster are quite small, as he has literally missed the entire offseason here. Even a PS spot is a little far fetched.

I don't think Plummer's PS spot is far fetched at all.  Plummer stinks

I don't disagree but they are far more likely to stick with the devil they know as most teams do for those 3rd/PS spots. 

Plummer is good enough to run some scout team BS.

I mean, at that point you are one injury away from literally it being a formality we are gonna lose that week.

Dalton is at least competent.

Which, I suppose we are close to that being reality regardless.

I think Dalton is done. But virtually every team in the NFL is a qb injury away from being terrible. I doubt KC would win 5 games without Mahomes.

I think people vastly underrate his competence when it comes to being a backup. I also think people WAAAAAAAAY overrate the role of a backup QB.
