If you're trying to suggest to me that Young has a problem with velocity and ball placement, I'm telling you that that's really not the case.

And yet they both had howitzers. Listen to yourself! What you're saying is clearly the point, and also an argument for taking Young from several perspectives.

LMFAO That's what you're supposed to be doing.

You can criticize a player without telling an outright lie.

I didn't say he had "elite" arm strength. He has "good" arm strength. He doesn't have a "noodle arm." That's ludicrous! Arm strength is overrated period. If it took pure arm strength to win in the NFL, Jeff George and Jamarcus Russell would have been beasts. Arm strength is low down the totem pole. You just want a QB who can make all the throws.

He doesn't struggle. That's a lie.

And since you want to play the scouting report game (like it really makes a difference), here you go: https://nfldraftblitz.com/2023/01/04/the-quarterback-spy-bryce-young-alabama/

Bryce Young was and is widely considered to be the number one QB and player in the draft. Deal with it! You said that he had a noodle arm. That's categorically untrue.

Young doesn't have a noodle arm. That's just crazy hater talk.

I predict outage from a vocal minority regardless if it's AR, BY or CJ

Well I'd say that Young is special also. I look forward to seeing him continue his outstanding journey.

I mean, how many times are we going to have the number one pick? This may be the last time in many of our lifetimes, so I am going to roll with it.

Another one @Martin I think it's fair. I just think that there's so much to work with and the upside is so high that you gotta take him.

Granted, this is kinda critical, but it gives you a general idea, at least from 89.

He's more raw, but that's why we have coaches.

I'd be more apt to trade up for Mayer or Kincaid if they're there.

fug yeah!

That's not the question. The question who is making the argument up to the point where it excludes Young from their boards. Obviously if people have Young as their number one QB (some the best player overall), then they're not using his size as a determining argument .

Well, for me it was an attempt based upon injury projections (which is a slippery slope). Admittedly, I think pro comps are kind of stupid anyway.

Whether they are making a "huge" deal out of his size is subjective and debatable. Obviously some are and some aren't. It's certainly not "everyone." Young is still slotted as the first pick on many boards. Indeed, he's picked up steam in Vegas and is now equal in the books.

Sure, I've already acknowledged it's a concern, to some people more than others, but it is discussed here like it's a fait accompli that Young is destined to suffer a career-ending injury and that this makes him untouchable.

So you can say with surety that previous injuries whether they were labelled as concussive or not (or even reported) simply play no part in what Tua is suffering today? Maybe you're right, but I don't have that amount of trust in medical professionals. https://qbi.uq.edu.au/brain/concussion/concussion-can-be-caused-body-hits-too And let's not forget that there is a genetic component involved with concussions as well, so much so that athletes are reluctant to take tests. https://qbi.uq.edu.au/brain/concussion/concussion-can-be-caused-body-hits-too Like I said, regardless of concussions, there was plenty of evidence to suggest that Tua was injury prone. And he has been.

Acknowledged, but let's not prematurely end Reich's quote because it fits a narrative. He also said and intimated that there are way more important things to look at.

So you say. Regardless, there was plenty of evidence to suggest that Tua would be injury prone in the NFL. That's not the case with Young.

Coaches rightfully look at injury history during evaluations. Obviously, if you have an injury history it's easier to project (or at least imagine) injuries. Injury history is real and not imagined. Projecting injuries based upon size has come to the forefront of discussions due to Young's size, and that is absolutely imagining injuries, which is absolutely a slippery slope, and not an evaluation of talent.
