I haven't done any deep dive but I like his ability to get it downfield while on the move.. Stroud I wasn't sure of either but he looked pretty good vs UGA.. Young kinda Hurts-esqe without the bulk / physicality.

I don't want to take anything away from Hurts - he is a franchise QB no question - but young is a much more gifted "natural passer" and Hurts' bulk and physicality is a large part of why he is so successful.

Size comparisons aside, I do think he has a similar skill set to Kyler Murray, but with a better feel for the position and a better head on his shoulders, which is a scary proposition for niner fans if Seattle has a shot to draft him. In that case, we'd have to hope that the fact no one as small as him has really never succeded continues.

Seattle has no shot at him unless they move up to #1. Houston is going to draft Young if Chicago doesnt trade out of the top spot. As for the comparison to Murray.... I think they are much different. Murray needs to win with his legs because he simply isnt a great passer. Young, on the other hand, is an excellent passer who will beat you thru the air. I think the only real similarity is that they are both undersized QBS that won the Heisman

I don't see him making throws that Murray physically can't make. He's just much more poised in the pocket, has better field vision, and better feel for the position, imo. Where Murray is quick to bail and just try to out-athlete the competition, Bryce is looking down field

I'm loving Alabama QB's in college and they're dominant AF!!! But something about them when they're in the Pro's that just makes me wanna stay away from them already.

Tua - Injury prone AF

Mac Jones - Attitude, diva problems, seems like a straight up jerk.

Jalen Hurts?

How do we know Richardson isn't the next JaMarcus Russell? There's more of a chance of him being that than Bryce Young becoming such a bust.
