I can attest to B. Young not being 6'. My brother in law came to game with me this year and Bryce walked right in front of me. I am 6'3" 225 and my brother in law said it looked like he could tag along with me to bring your child to work day.

Exactly. I don't care if a QB is 4'10" if he wins. Young is a great QB and delivers the ball to his receivers fine. Bennett does well, too. I've never understood the "He's too short!" argument many on here make about either QB.

Yes...you both have issues at QB because of their height. Joe Milton would be a great fit for either of you...

He's 6'5, 245 pounds and has a cannon arm. You both really need him and should try to pry him away from Tennessee.



Just look at how strong his arm is - Joe Milton Cannon Arm

And accuracy...we're talking about a kid who completed 50% of his passes against Bowling Green in UT's season opener.

He's also a runner...just look at this mobility against a tough Bowling Green defense - Joe Milton Blazing Speed


I don't want to lose an asset like this...but I think that he would be the difference maker for either Alabama or Georgia for next season.

I think the "too short" scenario came from the fact he had a number balls batted down at the LOS.

The other night when they showed Stetson next to Bryce Y, after the game, I thought they looked about the same height. I had never before noticed that BY was about the same height.

Oh the guy that has had Blow Nix at QB the last 3 years has got jokes.


Stupid comparison. This Georgia team would beat Drew Lock obviously but that doesn’t mean Stetson is a better QB than Lock.

Also the argument of an inch in height is hilarious when the linemen range from 6’4 to 6’8. Kyler Murray is 5’7”. It’s about what you do with your eyes and the angles you create for yourself inside and outside of the pocket.

You should send a resume to SEC teams in need of better D coordinators. I'm sure they will go into the next meeting and say "what the frick guys.... this guy on SEC Rant figured out how to stop this guy and you couldn't??? You guys watch hundreds of hours of tape and you can't see this? You are all fired!!!"

Every Bama publication lists Young as 6'. Stetson is listed as an honest 5'11

neither one of them are as tall as their programs list them. Neither are taller than 5'10"

Yeah. I get it. I've seen some tall QBs get them batted down, too. We had some "fans" on our own board making an issue of Bennett's height. As far as I am concerned....just win.

Yeah, it's hard to tell with pictures because so many things influence the appearance. The angle the shot is taken at. Cleats. Even a slight slope...but from the pic in this thread it definitely looks like they are similar in height, no doubt. Bennett looks taller, too.

Not sure about this. Stetson was brought up a ton about being short, no doubt. But I also saw a poster fark a picture of Young making him look like a tiny, tiny person compared to other players.

Of course it was William Taylor, so take it for what it's worth.

Young at 5’ 9” will get eaten up in the NFL. I wouldn’t waste a 1st round pick on him.

Bama will work all offseason to stretch him out to 5'11 , but seriously i don't see him making it to the pros and saying that Kyler Murray has and he's 5'10 at best.

I've seen "midget" thrown around by the folks to our west a plenty. Now maybe they just meant he was a "midget" in terms of ability, but I didn't take it that way.

Anyway, I sent a meme to one of those guys that Bama was the first team to lose a NCG to a midget QB. I only know him from a sports chat group I'm in on Facebook. He probably calls in to Finebaum.

I think they are both about 5-11. That pic angle makes Bennett look taller. Amazing what Bryce can do at his height with those guys all around him. He's gonna be fine.

Watch that replay clinch video. I think that Young is taller than Stetson by one inch.
