    I feel that way no matter what. I don't want to ruin whoever we take by throwing him out to the wolves on this team that still needs too much work.

    He probably can't while wearing those lifts. Also, that huge buffet meal from last night needs to settle.

    Not exactly a good comp to have, Murray is the butt of short jokes. And Bryce isn’t anywhere near the athlete that Murray is.

    I don’t think the comp was ability but only physicality.

    Yeah, and I don’t think it’s a good one lol.
    Murray is the butt of all memes for being short.

    Not sure what the obsession is with whether our qb is being made fun of for height. I could care less what height a qb is if he plays well. That’s the only thing that matters.

    Not an obsession, he’s going to be made fun of like Kyler is. Just stating the obvious

    I think we’re getting Jimmy G anyways. Probably looking at a QB in round 3 or 4.

    Bryce Young is short but with a 73.5" wingspan at least he has a +3" Ape Index. Kyler Murray only had a 69" wingspan at the same height, which gave him a -1" Ape Index. Murray has not been a successful NFL quarterback relative to where in the draft he was selected (#1 overall).

    Obviously the point is that Young isn’t an unprecedentedly sized QB that a lot of people thought he’d be. Probably doesn’t change much with those that are concerned with that aspect though.
