Agree. It's not a matter of if BY gets hurt, it's a question of when he gets hurt. All guys at that level sustain injuries, but his frame is the issue. I can envision a snowball effect and that would be disaster for this franchise 

For every starter in the NFL.

Do you not agree he is at a much bigger risk due to his size?

Didn't happen last year until very late. Everyone thought Hutchinson would be the pick right up until the draft. 

Yeah no one knew what the Jags would do until mid-late April

Watching those Vegas odds flip over the last two weeks was wild. Didn’t believe they’d actually do it.

That same argument can apply to any player.

What if we pass on Stroud and then find out the size argument on Young was valid?

Yes it cuts whichever way whoever wants to make it fit their agenda.

All I hope for is we pick the best of the 3. And it might not end up being Young with all his talk of football IQ it could end up AR reaches his ceiling with all his physical intangibles we don't know. But if two or three years from now the consensus is we ended up with the worst or second best of the three it's going to be a major source of talk and folks who were entrenched in one camp or another will end up with egg on their face. Somebody will. Like I said I just hope it isn't us. We deserve good things for all we've been through.

I really do think Stroud could end up a top 10 or more QB with his accuracy if he's fit to the right staff. It's legit kinda crazy some people don't want that after all these years of inaccurate passers even including Cam who was sometimes streaky.

Yep. Also whoever gets picked at 2 has a disadvantage with the Texans drafting them IMO.

Has there ever been a 5'10 QB as an MVP? Looking now. Not seeing it. Shortest I'm seeing is 6'2 until I get to Fran Tankerton at 6 foot even back in 1975.

Edit: Actually Joe Theismann in 1983 was 6 foot as well. Still over 40 years ago.

Now Bryce could certainly become the lone outlier and the Steph Curry Michael Jordan or whichever fairy tale we can come up with to cling to. But the odds are extremely low. That's just reality. If we pick him though I will support and hope all this comes to fruition.

Did Brees never win it? I know he is still 6 even but just curious.

Could also blow the lid off this draft if the Texans aren't goo-goo gaga over Stroud.  Ryans may want a *potential monster like Anderson.  

Then that could throw AZ into a tizzy without their expected man there.  Could trade down w/SEA for example.

And the Colts would still be screwed hehe.  

1-CAR Bryce Young

2-HOU Will Anderson

3-SEA (from AZ) CJ Stroud

Now THAT, that would be wild.

Just looked it up. It started shifting on April 18. I wonder if the Jags would do it differently now. Just saw that Hutchinson had 9.5 sacks and 3 INTs!
