  1. Objectivity is difficult to possess, let alone communicate. This is well done.
  2. My thoughts? Thanks for your thoughts. You have a lot of good thoughts. I enjoy reading many of your thoughts. But my thoughts? You just need a public forum to be right in. I’ve yet to see you value anyone else’s thoughts…
  3. Bryce Young as a runner isn’t a feature I referenced…though his athletic abilities, physical and innate, do enhance his play making abilities, and elevate him as a prospect. He’s fast, but that doesn’t make him a runner. For me, his combined traits project better to the NFL than Kyler Murray, Baker Mayfield, Darnold etc…better than everyone other than Burrow, Herbert, and TLaw. But the deficiencies are certainly present as noted…and it will take a team willing to overlook those deficiencies. Everybody drafts an imperfect prospect in the end, and Young has already demonstrated fantastic ability to overcome his deficiencies against folks that will play on Sundays…so I like his odds.
  4. I'm confident you've watched a lot more of B. Young than I ever will...and it's draft season, so we have to analyze every detail and situation then make a projection. He's not an elite prospect, and he might not be deserving of the draft capital it would take to pick him at 1 from 4. It's simple to me with Young. He's phenomenal before the snap and after the play breaks down with the rhythm, balance and athletic profile to avoid pressure, reset, and deliver the ball accurately to the best option available. He's faster than he's getting credit for, but that matters little since you only want him running in clear air anyway. But more than that, he's a quick/sudden athlete, every bit the peer of defenders chasing him (even DB's) in short to medium areas. He's like a point guard to me that always has you off balance with the handles and quickness to beat any defender to the basket. Lastly, Young just gets better and better as the stakes get higher. A QB whose mind gets clear as the noise grows deafening possesses one of the most rare skillsets of all-time. That said, like most QB's, you better put him in the right situation. Don't ask him to be Josh Allen (I'm not sure the Bills should be asking Josh Allen to be Josh Allen) He's the ideal Shanahan system QB, a rich man's Brock Purdy...and that's a pretty good direction to take your offense in my book. I don't believe B. Young is a top 10 pick on Ballard's board, and Ballard may get that right in the end, but Young is a far superior prospect to me than all of the recent top picks sans TLaw, Burrow and Herbert (and I mean before we had their NFL failures to evaluate). In the same draft class, before seeing any of them play an NFL snap, I'd have taken him over Mahomes, Watson, Allen etc. I'd have been wrong, of course, but as a polished prospect who will translate to a well coached NFL system, he's pretty much a sure thing.
  5. I think that would make him likely the highest regarded QB prospect of all time…
  6. There is one QB in the class who both has and lacks what you can’t teach. He would be my first choice. What he has is way more important than what he lacks
