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

He’s not 5’9
I’m 5’9 and he’s taller than me, not by much but he is. You feel the need to completely dismiss any QB that is small in stature despite the talent and ability they may possess. It’s a very narrow way of thinking. It’s the same when people who talk about small RBs. It’s not the measure of a person but the measure of their heart. If a guy can play, then he can play. Bryce can play. He just hasn’t figured out what he can do to elevate himself or his team yet. Just my $.02

Let's try this one more time..

I'm usually one of the few defending Murray and Wilson because they've proven to be anomalies. I think you're letting your selective fandom get the best of you- since neither you or anyone in agreement with you during this thread had ever vouched for either along with me.

No, I wasn't going to risk a #1 pick on Murray or Young. I definitely wasn't about to pay the cost to move up for Young. Sure, plenty of those checking all physical boxes have flopped. Still.. rest assured that I would've drafted Allen or Lamar before Murray and Young due to measurables. Accept it. Embrace it. I'm not even ashamed. I figure I'd only need to be right once, but I'm damn sure not about to risk my career on munchkins.

I don't need you soap-boxing me about the size of hearts etc. I know about under-sized players with heart making both Div 1 squads and the pros. Ill just leave it at that.

You aren't about to make this about some Bishop-type mentality, either.. My "narrow way of thinking" would jibe with many NFL entities when it comes to selecting franchise QBs. I believe the majority of FOs will think the measurables will trump intangibles such as heart with the fortunes of a franchise at stake...
