    Getting a 1 or 2 overall wrong happens. I’d rather hope against an injury than hope on potential. Trading 3 firsts and a player to move up to get someone that has less chance of getting hurt than the guy at 1 or 2 is way more of a risk and less worth it. But just my opinion.

    In a similar vein, I showed Quarter Horses for Terry Bradshaw in the late 80's. He is listed at 6'3'', but we were nearly eye to eye and I'm 5'11.75'' barefoot. I wonder if NFL players, in particular quarterbacks, were sometimes listed as being a few inches taller than they actually were. Much like many NBA players in the past were often gifted a few inches. This doesn't really pertain currently to Young, but there could actually be more past quarterbacks that were under six foot, or not much over it.

    I mean somebody that has a track record of being right about 95%of the time.

    I don’t care what his record is according to you. You have a coach who has been with the kid everyday for between three and 4 years vs a doctor who has never seen the kid. And you are trying to say someone who has never seen him knows more about his injury history than the coach. Not trying to be rude but that is absolutely stupid.

    Sorry I don’t think I worded that how I wanted. I also think Caleb Williams can and probably will be a better QB than Young (again, I want nothing to do with Maye).
    HOWEVER.
    This is a rebuilding team. And I think 3 first round picks and a player for Williams (and that is still a maybe that someone accepts that) is way more of a risk than Young at #2 and hoping he doesn’t get hurt while keeping all our other assets. Also IMHO.

    Shocking post of the night.

    I'll go with the 95% and if he's the pick at 1-2 I hope Doc is wrong.

    I like Maye as much as I do Williams. Both have the ability to be great QB's.

    Does he have any data on this injury history you keep yelling about? If you want to say the doctor thinks he could suffer another AC sprain in the future that’s fine. That is not an injury history. That’s a single injury which those that actually saw him, spoke to him and examined him said was minor. You make it sound like he has this running list of injuries which is totally false.

    Sorry Sooty, thought I was responding to the expert on Bryce’s vast injury history.

    **** Avery and Mulugheta. Pieces of crap. Their entire culture and what they’re about is toxic

    To me that is a moot point. I believe Caleb Williams will be the 1st pick barring injury and the team that gets the 1st pick won't be trading it. So if you want him you have to tank. Clearly the Texans aren't doing that and are setting their roster up to draft a QB with the 2nd pick this year.

    Check it out for yourself, the data speaks for itself.

    No more meeds to be said.

    Young's going to be the pick I'm hoping all of the data is wrong

    You need to check out his posts
    I don't know, from Boselli to Hollings and o Schaub to Clowney etc... He's been spot on. spot on. Take his wisdom with a grain of salt if you wish.
