What an amazing kid. He is extremely respectful and polite. I hope he has a great career.

[@MotherViksChaat]

People don’t realize how good this kid is. He makes everything look so easy and that doesn’t make people jump out of their seats.

[@caseydangar4414]

You absolutely nailed it. Hes so great and so smooth and calm in the way that he commands the field that he makes difficult plays in pressure situations look so easy that you will find yourself questioning how great of a performance it was. The kid is an absolute amazing talent and has such a great attitude and great head on his shoulders. Who ever snags this kid has a gem on their hands.

[@panditas7679]

​@@caseydangar4414 i think stroud is slightly better overall but agree

@@panditas7679 understandable, I like bryce more but Stroud definitely is stronger. But Bryce is so aware, watch SEC Championship from 2021. Dude was playing in 3rd person it seemed like. 😂

[@theoriginalsurferbob]

Small. Zero twitch. He’s certainly not in the Murray class of that. He’s slow. No arm strength. And what, is he the only recent Alabama quarterback who hasn’t won a championship???? Wouldn’t draft him at all, much less with a high pick. I’d take Richardson way the heck over him.

[@nicholaswoods4055]

Size is overrated at Qb, he’s flat out better than everyone else in every aspect of the game, all that matters

[@Bnguyen276]

He’ll just have to take an extra step or two back to see over linemen to throw the ball on his drop back that’s it. Give this man a spread offense like drew Brees with an extra couple of steps on the drop back and he’s slinging it.

[@elitemidrange]

He doesn’t have the strongest arm, and Stroud is arguably more accurate, so he isn’t flat out better than everyone else in every aspect of the game.

[@OfficiallyOrca]

Caleb Williams would be go before Young if Williams was in this draft class. Stroud is more accurate and Hooker and Richardson are both bigger and stronger. Young would need to go to a team that's built off RPOs kinda like Tua in Miami and even that's not safe given how much Tua has been hit. There's a reason Young didn't work out.

I'm taking snapshot of all the people that's doubting this kid

[@gavinwhite9120]

This kid is going places 1:42

[@dadsonworldwide3238]

This is the new norm ,smaller qb are driven by rule changes.. Rule changes to favor RPO and force the QB out of the pocket because you can no longer cut the edge outside the te box while also not allowing a single defender to sweep lead blockers to take out them and the runner leads to Anthony Richardson or if you want mobility but a better arm smaller is the next best thing to take advantage of all these rules and not be side arm to pass better

[@JM-md4ri]

He knows what he’s doing. He’s letting Richardson get the hype so he can be passed on and land with the colts. Let’s go Bryce young in blue 🔵

[@kamikaze4928]

One of my pet peeves is when someone doesn't do the bench presses at the combine. They tell me if they can take a hit, or if they can push someone out of the way. My other pet peeve is when someone doesn't do the 40 yd dash. I want to know if they can move, and how fast.

​@@allmight3844 bryce young is light years better than Anthony Richardson. He was trash every year at Florida. I mean hot garbage. Even as a QB he will be lucky to barely break the top 10. He will go 9th over all. Behind bryce young, cj stroud, and will Levi's. Lol he's the 4th or arguably the 5th ranked qb in this class and you trying to say that the clear and consensus #1 rates qb in the class is intimidated by him. Sure Richardson might be able to throw a few yards farther than bryce. But bryce is more developed and polished, more talented, has a god like pocket awareness and sense, has a way higher football IQ and most likely actual IQ. Everything I just named would be more than enough for bryce to completely leave ar-spray and pray-15 in the rear view mirror in the draft. But there is one more thing. Bryce young has infinitely better accuracy and timing with his ball placement. And his ability to avoid the rush and dodge defenders while also having this crazy ability to anticipate and read defenses both pre and post snap just puts him light years ahead of an Anthony Richardson who is basically at this point nothing other than a raw talent and great athlete.
