look at how the game is evolving. It is turning into a shotgun heavy league. In scenarios like that it’s no longer about the prototypical Drew Bledsoe sized QB, it’s about who’s processing the play and reading the field fastest.

 

hence why the coaching staff and scouts were always sold on Young, the Chef Curry of QBs in College. 
 

I started to come around to Young as I started researching how the game is evolving, it’s not about where the NFL offense is today, where’s it going to be in 5 years

The major concern about Young isnt his overall game or how the nfl offensive philosophy is changing.  Its simply can his body withstand the punishment.  Thats pretty much it.

The greats usually know how to avoid taking major hits (Brady/Manning) while the athletically gifted typically try to enforce their imposing ways on the defense (Newton, Jackson)

 

I suspect that Young is going to learn to slide very quickly and know when to throw it away and live for another play

And the 5'10 180 lb All-Pro Prototype is real? 

Lmao...our QB is going to be one of the smallest dudes in the NFL. There is no way around that. There is no road map to success here. If he doesn't succeed, we will know why.

I'd rather have fuging Brock Purdy with this staff than Bryce Young.

Sure, all of that.  But the fact remains he is still going to get clobbered at some point.   Even with one of the best lines in the nfl Brady still got sacked 22 times and thats not including knock downs.    Wilson who people are comparing Young to was sacked a league high 63 times and he was hurt basically the entire season.

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 our tackles are 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.

I'm old enough to remember people complaining that Steve Smith was too short to be a WR.

We don’t have a bad offensive line and the coaches can teach him to protect himself. People are overblowing the injury concerns.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By strato · Posted

      He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc.

      Crazy stat

      The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
