How has he been smart in the build up to the Draft? The smart thing to do would be to put it all down on record (height / weight / 40 etc) then just say "there are your numbers - my film is what defines me". I'd like him much more as a prospect if he wasn't trying to hide and play it 'smart'.

Physics tell us that he's going to get hurt more. He's fortunate to be coming out in a time when hits on the QB are frowned upon - but they still happen and much bigger, sturdier QBs get put on the shelf by them. To me the selling point of Young is that he (apparently) processes the game very well and is a film junkie. I just don't think that outweighs my concerns about his height (and his ability to see the middle of the field), his weight (and his ability to take NFL hits) his arm strength (NFL average) and his play style (I don't think it translates to the NFL unless you're an elite athlete). If he was 6'2", 215lbs I'd still have concerns about his average arm and his play style - but those are knocks you're more comfortable with as they're not massive outliers.

We come across as a really creepy organisation.

Well evidently he couldn't run or throw at 204lbs...

For the record they reckon Bruce Lee was 145lbs - and even then in his most famous fight scene irl he'd have got destroyed by Chuck Norris due to the size difference.

WRs don't get hit by 300lb Dlinemen. They occasionally get hit by 240lb LBs, but rarely ones that have a 10 yard running start. CBs occasionally get hit by 300lb Olinemen, but they invariably see it coming and make a business decision. QBs don't have that luxury.

White was 2 inches taller and I'd guess 10lbs heavier - and yes he got badly concussed when playing for the Dolphins.

Yeah his stock is definitely inflated due to his 85 TDs to 12 INTs in two seasons as a starter. Dump the stock, I say(!)

Is robotic a bad thing? I consider Brees, Manning and Brady robotic.

Apparently the 11 person entourage isn't going to Lexington tomorrow.

The PNP guy said it was a "smart business decision" to weigh in at 204lbs at the Combine (and not participate in any drills) and then not weigh in a few weeks later when you HAVE to throw. I don't think he knows what a smart business decision looks like.

As McAfee so eloquently puts it, the NFL is the all-stars of each class stacked on each other for a decade. The SEC simply doesn't compare I'm afraid.

The Head Coach is always going to big up his prospect - he wants to sell that he had the #1 overall pick to the next recruiting class. To me the knock on Young is that I don't think he can see the middle of the field and he has an average arm. So many of his plays are ones where he misses the routine throw across the middle and has to scramble to make a highlight reel play. That doesn't scream someone that's two steps ahead of the defence... unless he literally can't see over the Oline.

Hitting the roof means it's a rainbow throw, right? (I'm assuming Alabama's indoor facility isn't second rate) That shows a lack of arm strength.

Ah well, it started half an hour late so I'll have to watch the highlights I guess. Poor form that, Alabama.

Come the fug on, nobody wants to watch Alabama OLinemen block pads.

He's definitely dropped the 15lbs of water weight he was carrying at the Combine. As I said, I've never understood why he didn't just walk out there and do all of the drills at the Combine, with the statement: "this is me, pigeonhole me how you want - watch the tape". He's fooled no-one with his antics in Indy.

They're literally in the video - the timeline is chaptered, look at the last chapter titled 'negatives'.

I think you have Richardson confused with someone else.

Damn that's a large table.

About the same as David Tepper to be fair.

That's his super power.

Appreciate the effort, but that's horrible to watch.

I don't understand the reasoning that we have to pick the QB that helps us win now. Surely you want the QB that's going to be the best one in 5 years?

You'd have a package of plays for Richardson from day 1. He's only going to benefit from playing - you'd probably start Dalton until the bye week, then hand the reigns over to the rookie after that.
