We don't play the Seahawks twice, and we are beating the Texans.

I'm a rational folk myself. So acknowledging that size is a concern to me seems unnecessary at this point considering there are dozens of posters on this forum who have been shouting it and only it from the mountaintops for months

Yeah, he does that.  Anyone he disagrees with is irrational.  He calls them names like lunatic.  It gets old.  We just live with it.

It really is convenient when you leave out the fact that Corall was playing behind an Oline made up of players who will never see a meaningful snap in the NFL.

 

Bryce will never come close to having to play behind that Oline. smh

You mean the same 4th string line PJ played behind?

I wasn't concerned about PJ's size because it was PJ. Not much was expected, and really didn't think he would be on the team beyond last season.

I don't see the size discussion going away anytime soon, but yes I would like to have new information on the subject of QB size linked to injury.

Well its on here. MHS I think posted it.  Showed injury rate by size, by position.  The trend lines were clear and largely consistent.  Ladypanther recently posted an article about optimal sizing, implying that larger mass can lead to injury.

Look at our own experience.  Cam, Corral, vs Wilson or Brees.

There's no guarantees with injuries. 

Sam Mills, was small for a LB, at 5'9.
Smitty was small for WR at 5.9.

Both shorter than Young and played positions with a much higher injury rate than QB requiring much more contact.

Ive was pretty drunk during the rhule years but I dont recall us trading up to 1 for pj walker and I certainly dont remember him being a long term viable option at qb

No, we traded up for Matt Corral, who didn't  make it through preseason.

So you have no concerns about Young's size?

Some.  But no more than  PJ's.  I don't remember the huddle going apeshlt over PJ's size as much as we were concerned about his play.   Corral, was the one out for the season, not PJ.

Besides its been discussed adnauseam here.  The only studies we could find say the exact opposite.  The larger the QB, the MORE likely they get hurt.  Ask PJ and Corral.

Matt Corral is 6'1 215 pounds and he looked small in preseason. It was like he was being swallowed up by the pocket, and I kept thinking "he's going to get hurt." Then he got hurt trying to run for his life. Young is 5'10 190 pounds, and I can't even imagine how small he's going to look behind our enormous o-line. Our center is 6'5, and you know out tackles our basically the largest humans on Earth that can still play a sport. I can't help but wonder if the Panthers are actually taking Young, but all signs do point to him being the selection. 

Its easy to imagine, he's just a tad shorter than PJ.  PJ played behind the exact same line that Coral did in preseason, just PJ didn't get put on IR for the season like the much larger Coral did.

We don't know what Stroud's final draft position will be, so its early to say he's tanked.   He may go 2nd, to Houston or whoever Houston trades with.

Reports coming out now say the Panthers, Houston and others were trading up to get Young all along.  Houston says they don't use S2.  Besides, his S2 score just supported what you see on film and in the stats, that he struggles under pressure. 

QB's have to be able to handle the press.  Young has answered question after question about his height.  CJ should be able to handle a few questions about his S2.

Saban saw this years ago.  Mac Jones had very few snaps from under center.
