Panthers benched QB Bryce Young (Dalton starting)(Merged)

But size has nothing to do with it. Doug Flutie, Kyler Murray, Russell Wilson, and Drew Brees (along with many other 6 ft QBs) did alright for themselves. If you are limited by size, then you must possess some defining skill that can allow you to belong. Bryce needs to find what his defining attribute is and perfect it. He too reliant on doing the things he did in college to work at the NFL level. Defenses are bigger, stronger, and faster. He can’t just throw passes up as a prayer and hope his receivers make the play. He has the talent, he just hasn’t honed his craft yet.
He isn't 6', He's closer to 5' 9" and I'm leery of barely 200# QBs absorbing NFL hits in 2024. We're discussing #1 picks and also what it takes to even move into position to have access to a prospect of that stature. You'll just have to accept that I would've passed on him after considering all factors. I do wish him the best, and clearly questioned anyone assumed that he'd fail in Houston. I would've passed on Murray as well- yet have defending him along with Wilson.

Amazing how people harping on Lamar's injury risks are OK with Young being out there. Hiits are hits. Mobile QB or not. Ask Burrow and Jimmy G, etc. Others who would pipe up while I'm defending Wilson will now hold him up as a beacon for short QBs.
