Fanbase Temperature Gauge: Who do you like and who do you want? (3/21/23)

[rippadonn]

When a 6'3" 300lb DT lands on top of a 6'3" 220lb Stroud the reaction inside of your chest won't be as strong as when it inevitably happens to 5'10" barely 200lb Young.

The fear is logical and undeniable. I wish him the best but he doesn't even have Michael Vick speed to make up for the two inches he gives up to even Vick himself.

Bad idea. Love the skill, talent, heart but the NFL is full of extra ordinarily tough, bigger, faster, and stronger human beings and he isn't a WR or CB who can pretty much stay away from the big boys, no, that hit is coming.

What happened when Wilfork fell on top of DeAngelo Williams?! He broke. He saw it coming and knew it and so did those watching.

Pancake.

There is a 50% chance Bryce might be our QB. Better start talking positive about him instead of thinking negative. We all know his size is a concern. Doesn't take away from his talent. He's the best QB in this draft if you ignore his size.

Can't do that bro. He's not even 6'. I'm a big fan of underdogs but not the almost impossible.

Some of those football players wives are bigger than your boy. We've got the #1, let someone else experiment with a smaller than Kyler QB.

NO. Can't ignore such a huge deficiency in favor of something that rarely happens, the 5'10" QB revolution. 

Huge risk. This is the pros. Everybody is bigger stronger faster and perhaps meaner, more motivated.

Stroud isn't physically ideal either but IS average height for an NFL player and good weight and he didn't look small next to AR.

Muggsy was a 5'3" PG, how many since? Why? It's the pros. They can't invest #1 in hopes and dreams they have to get as close to the prototype as they can. I hope you understand

You'd have to watch Panthers games to remember that play.

I remember the play. Im asking what does a rb have to do with a QB?

He's the same size, stronger, more muscle, heavier and that man almost ended his career and his life flashed before his eyes before he got broken.

Without that extra size and bulk as DeAngelo at the same height....say a prayer. As a fan I'd be terrified.

You Young lovers may have a point IF he can hold up in the NFL.

IF he can't we still have Young Lion of almost equal talent and 4" taller.

Everyone is one play away.

Cam Newton was one of the biggest QB's in NFL history and look how short his career was.

 

Just because you have size doesn't mean you will last longer than a smaller player. It goes both ways.

#1 pick...................risk vs reward............Stroud, Levis, Richardson........Young. What's the only difference? It's obvious.

So much so it can't be overlooked. He's not soooo much better than Stroud to be considered over him.

Young is a bargain pick not a top pick. I think he'll be drafted in a low risk high reward situation much like Malik and Corral.

Analytics from this poll tells me a lot of the huddle has Achondroplasia phobia 

Draft Day Young enter BOA...

Andrew Luck was 6'4 235 and linebackers had him crying in the shower at night. Either a guy can take the punishment or he can't.

These new Bryce Young posters are suspicious...

 

Somebody using multiple alt accounts to defend their man. That's some true dedication right there lol

 

Im happy with either Young or Stroud honestly.

Yeah there are like 4 Young die hards that are all new accounts this past month. I have high hopes for the man, but these posters are definitely suspicious…

[Icege]

It's hard not to be excited with the draft just a month out.

The team upgraded the coaching staff nearly across the board, retained the OL (and arguably upgraded it by replacing Elflein with McCray), upgraded TE, lost Moore but gained Thielen + Chark at WR, and has the core parts of an ascending defense in place. Big bodies are being added to the defensive line and some back end aid has been brought in (Von Bell). The defense could use additional depth at LB, CB, and on the edge, but that can be addressed after the #1 pick is addresses the open role of franchise QB.

Nice to feel full of hope rather than having to find hope like the last few seasons.

I'm pro both guys, but I'm on the Bryce train. I think he is the right calculated risk to take at 1. His intangibles, football IQ and ability to read the field, understand protections are ridiculous.

Im sorry you feel that way. Don't jump on the bandwagon when he's lighting this league up though. Keep that same energy his entire career.

This is such a weird take. Just because someone prefers Stroud and think Young has a high risk of getting injured, he or she is not allowed to cheer for Young if we pick him and he’s successful? Good grief, some of the Young supporters…
