Is Bryce Young Overrated?

Everyone already thinks I'm a fake Alabama fan, so I'm not doing myself any favors here, but I'm starting to wonder if BY was completely overrated.
Firstly, why does everyone think he's so incredible?
Stetson Bennett had a much better college career than BY. Hendon Hooker looked better than BY last year. You could even argue that LSU's QB last year outclassed BY in the head-to-head matchup.
Bryce started 2 seasons and came away with 1 conference title, and only 1 playoff appearance. By Alabama standards, that's pretty unimpressive.
People want to blame everyone around Bryce Young. It's the bad coordinators, or it's the bad WRs, or it's the bad OLine, or whatever. It's just a little suspicious that Alabama never had those problems until Bryce Young showed up.
He was a good-not-great pocket passer. Over his 2 years, the only memorable in-pocket throw was the game winner vs. Auburn. He was a great scrambler, and could pick up an easy first down with his legs, or avoid the rush, and throw for 10-15 yards, but standing in the pocket and throwing dimes all over the field? Not so much.
All I'm saying is, why do people just assume that Bryce Young is a generational, insane QB? What is the evidence? Just because he can scramble, and has a decent to good arm?
I think he's going to be pretty mediocre in the NFL.
I could be totally wrong, but I'll take Tua and Mac any day of the week.

Many called him the greatest Alabama QB ever but he never won a title so I’m confused

Tua was Alabamas best Qb imo

To be fair, BY didn't have that ridiculous receiver group.

He certainly had the most raw arm talent of any QB. I believe he could already be a top 5 QB in the NFL if he could just stay healthy. Poor guy

Check out the NFL draft. Did he have the same protection and weapons as his predecessors?

True, but again, it's hard to know how much of it was Bryce's fault.
Stetson Bennett didn't exactly have all-world WRs either.

Or did he just make everyone else look bad, because he himself wasn't as great as everyone thinks he is? Idk

Bro, did you not see Tua in the NFL last year? He was in the MVP conversation until his concussion. He was lighting it the frick up.

No.
But he's too short and small to make an impact at the next level.

Bless his heart.
He should have stayed on the west coast.

No one on forum is throwing 5 yard slants for money.

No, he's just short as hell and weighs about 50 pounds. He's more likely to actually die from a hit than play in a Super Bowl.
