Last night I had a dream that I was at the combine watching Richardson destroy all the testing. After he was done he started walking off the field so I ran up behind to get an autograph. But when he turned around it was Jameis Winston. I woke up screaming.
The fact is no qb at Young's size has been successful in the nfl. If you're taking a qb in the draft early, its best to draft prototype. I'd rather have Stroud, Hooker, Richardson or Levis than that midget
Russell Wilson is one half inch taller than Young and has been a starter in the league for over a decade. Kyler Murray Combine weigh-in: 5-foot-10 1/8, 207 Russell Wilson Combine weigh-in: 5-foot-10 5/8, 204
I would prefer short choppy steps on that drill so that he can keep his balance. Just nitpicking I know the raw strength is evident, but in the NFL technique is king.
Why would anyone want to make the most athletic QB prospect ever (possibly) into a pocket passer? Why wouldnt you want to use those wheels to your advantage? RPO schemes with this guy would be close to unstoppable with the right coaching and personnel. To try and link him to JaMarcus Russel is weird.
Yeah, I want the best QB. Not the best athlete. Richardson has the highest bust potential and I wouldn't even say he has the highest potential of the group due to his lack of accuracy which historically hasn't been something that automatically gets better in the NFL. I would even argue that his athleticism doesn't really show too much in the pocket as compared to B. Young. Demeco Ryans coaching career: Jimmy G/Brock Purdy Playing career: Matt Schaub/Nick Foles Nick Caserio: Tom Brady/helped draft Mac Jones/drafted Davis Mills We have to be honest with ourselves. The two guys leading the draft for this team have played or managed their whole careers with QB's who made their bread from the pocket with accuracy. Stroud or Young will be the pick.
In a midget league LoL You're betting Young can do something nobody his size has ever done before. Pass
If thats what you see then I cant really offer a worthwhile debate. I surely dont want a diminutive QB who appears to still be nursing a shoulder injury that could continue to be an issue later especially when he starts taking NFL hits.
