No they weren’t. Look up their combine measurements.

He was the furthest off of the three I mentioned for sure. Still think Young will end up playing around 215.

Russell Wilson. Drew Brees. Kyler Murray.

You do realize you’re trying to justify not picking a player because you think he drank 15 bottles of water before his weigh in and then pissed it out the next day?

15lbs of water weight? Wow

You didn’t watch him throw. Clearly. The poster was misleading with his description of Bryce’s throws. A couple were outright drops and two others hit the roof. That equates to Bryce struggled with the deep ball?? lol no and do better

Yea, that seems too good to be true. Looking at other trades (Waller, Cooks, E Moore), I guess it’s possible the Cards would demand less to get him off their books.

Accurate breakdown. Good stuff

Psssh while you complain that Young didn’t throw a ball 10 inches shorter 50+ yards downfield. Burton dropped the first one right over his shoulder. Then looked like he gave up on his next couple deep balls bc he didn’t want it to happen again.

Two things confirmed for me: 1) Bryce Young is a great passer of the football 2) His receivers were pretty trash this year Burton is garbage. Even Gibbs, as talented as he is, looked to bust his nose on a pass right through his hands.

Don’t sweat it. He’s just hating on Young with nothing to back it up.

McShay just said exactly what I did about Young and Mahomes.

I do this consciously

Except by rules, the heavyweights aren’t allowed to throw haymakers. Mostly jabs only.

I wasn’t saying “diet” as in a version that weighs less. It was meant to imply he’s a lesser version of Mahomes. His play style is very similar though. Im not saying Young is on par with likely the most talented QB to ever play the game. I’m also not saying he can’t get close.

I do. I think Reich and co or the coaching staff where he lands will coach him to settle his feet more in the pocket. In doing so, they need to be careful to not limit what makes him special. He’s an elite distributor of the football and a lot of that is a product of his maneuvers in the pocket. I believe he does some of that to overcome his height (backing up to extend plays). Stroud, to me, is an elite passer. I view Young as an elite passer and also an elite playmaker. That’s why I view him as a diet Mahomes and hope he’s the pick.

The main deficiencies were bouncy/inconsistent footwork, sometimes missing open receivers in the middle of the field, and trying to extend plays too long. What’s funny is in some of the lowlights where his footwork is notably erratic, Bryce still finds a way athletically to hit the receiver.

Yea, these are great. Thanks for posting. I watched both the Stroud and Young videos. I feel like we can be optimistic about our future with either QB as our guy moving forward. With that said, there are just more special plays and wow factor in Young’s tape. Sports are entertainment and he would bring it the most. I think we’ll be a consistent playoff caliber team with either one. Everyone looks for QBs to go through their progressions, but there is a level beyond that. Young has the awareness and processing to utilize quick pump fakes or head movements to get his target open. He does that while going through progressions. The Thinking Football video does a good job of showing it, and it’s part of what makes him my #1 QB. We’re in a good spot to have the option to pick from those two.

I’ll pull up a chair beside ya. Cheers

I read he’s going to. Haven’t seen it yet though. The video link someone posted of TJ Hushmandzadeh (thanks google) discussing the QBs made it seem like Bryce is consistently over 200lbs and not as frail as he’s depicted.

lol. That post hit home, didn’t it? I’m not saying it shouldn’t be discussed, but ppl are foolish for casting him off due to it. Even more foolish to ignore his actual weigh ins that show he’s 15-20lbs heavier than they expected, making him less of an outlier than originally thought. From what I’ve gathered from you, we both will be happy either way. Cheers to that. No secret who we prefer though.

I read on the Texans board a while back that he may be working through something with his shoulder. Probably bogus since he’s throwing today.

Prediction 1: Bryce will weigh in at 202lbs at his pro day Prediction 2: Certain Huddle posters will be claiming he’s back down to his playing weight of 185lbs by midnight.

Cedric Tillman and AT Perry could be targets with our 3rd or 4A, if they make it there.

Then in 2-3 weeks, Stroud will be 204. I, too, can propose hypothetical weights instead of using the facts.
