Size bros, I did some research and you're correct. Here's some stats about this year's QB class

Young is 5' 10" not 6'

And he is probably more like 180 Lbs. when he doesn't load up his weigh for the NFL Combine.

Just curious as to why Stroud’s game against Michigan is concerning, but not Young’s against UGA for the championship? I prefer Stroud because I think he has the lowest floor, but I won’t complain if we draft Young.

Young's UGA games were a year earlier and he didn't have another loss where he and the offense were truly manhandled. Where Stroud's big loss was at the end of the last season. It's just timing but as I stated, Stroud did bounce back and have the game of his life.

Bama had him listed at 6'. He measured 5'10" at the combine.

So did ESPN, which is what I linked.

The fact that both players have such few losses and still had solid games at their worst makes me feel good about the spot we are in.

So basically we have one year with the arm length debate , one year with the hand size debate and now is the height ......great.

Stroud beats him in all 3, so no debate

It could be worse.  The Process would have us trade Burns, Brown, Chinn, Icky, and Horn for the #2 pick, select both Young and Stroud, hold a training camp competition, and declare the winner: PJ Walker.

How can anyone watch these two play and think they are equal is beyond me, Young is so much better than Stroud.

Young beat that historically great defensive UGA team earlier in the season, his two starting WR were injured in the rematch, still put up a good game. 2022 UGA were no where near as talented

Haha he's already gone from 5'10 to 6' overnight. What a legend in the making.

[kass]

Does anyone have the list of QBs taken top 10, that failed in the league because of their size? 

 

Would also like to see the list of QBs with a height under 6, that had the talent to be a top 10 pick but deemed to short and therefore fell. Bonus would be, outcome, did the player fail and was it because of the height/size?

Why wouldn't you use his official height? As if you weren't aware of the whole concept of college teams fudging these numbers nor aware that we all know that nor aware that this was  recently a storyline of the combine covered here?
