Lol the dude can't even hit wide open receivers anymore. I'm sorry, but regardless of how poor our talent is, it isn't just a failure of him to elevate people around him like other good QBs (even rookies) do, it's his inability to even play decently. He's just getting worse and worse... He needs to sit.

Young is so bad I don't even think he would look really good with good weapons... Maybe after an offseason he'd be just OK, but it's hard to imagine him ever being worth what we gave up... My cynicism has reached a point where I'm feeling like the one bright spot is I feel he near guarantees us the first pick in the draft in 2025 because of how bad he is. Which I hate for him and the team, but...

Yeah he's just uncomfortable now, and it's clear. I think his confidence is shot... He's missing layups of throws...

Bryce does not look good out there and I don't think he's going to just learn as he goes...

Bryce between like 62 and 57 from where top ends and bottom begins. About fits... Burns could be anywhere from a 79 to 56.9 so who knows lol.

Can't watch but did he really just admit that Reich wanted Stroud and he didn't? fug...

Why not both?

That isn't entirely true. Cam frequently drove us down the field and got us points and the D then gave up the lead. I said offense excelling too, not winning games - very hard to argue Cam was not the biggest reason for offensive succes in 2011.

Cam frequently lost because our defense let him down in his first couple seasons. It is very hard to argue that is what is happening so far for Bryce.

Bryce can be contributing to our offensive woes while also suffering because of them. He isn't making the most of every play, but he also isn't getting much help. Many of us expect a #1 pick to be the reason an offense excels, not need a lot of help. But it doesn't matter anymore where he was drafted... What matters is he needs help on O and he's getting very little.

It really isn't just that Stroud looks so good... Bryce was supposed to elevate this team and instead he needs to be carried by them. Which obviously isn't possible.

Hahaahahaha man you just captured me trying to read wtf is going on in this thread perfectly

honestly, he hasn't shown enough to get much in trades. Incentive laden contract is the best bet.

Really feel for him, but he can't stay healthy. For his career he really needs to make the most of the rest of this season ... Could mean a lot about reversing perceptions.

Sure, but screens limit what a guy like Bryce can do. Yes, Bryce deserves the credit - but we actually had calls that allowed him to work a bit off script. We just don't have playmakers.

Don't forget completely whiffing on tackles in the backfield counting for half of a TFL!!

You and I had numerous posts earlier in the season that this part of his game wasn't seeming to translate from college basically for whatever reason... It's nice to see several plays today where he looks to be finding the playmaking ability he has at Alabama... Hopefully more and more every week

Bryce is playing like the player we drafted from ALA - the play extensions have been remarkable and his off platform "elasticity" was actually on display today, really exciting. Give this guy a bit better OL play and a decent receiver and IMHO he's gonna be very good (is that not positive enough? haha). Bryce is playing better every week, I'm actually excited for his development.

I mean he's our most consistent corner. ...that isn't saying much tbqh but hey, at least he's on the field!

Bryce looking really, really good. Incredibly clear how much better this offense would be with a little more competency at WR. Hard to judge playcalling given this is the Texans D, but still. Looking better than the past weeks so far.

I mean I kinda get it but the dude hasn't made a good decision in a while I feel and if Tepper isn't sure I wouldn't be surprised, especially with how it seems he's already meddling

It's possible he's been told he can't make moves unless they're heavily in our favor. If the owner is as unhappy as some say I bet he's being involved in what marquee players we let go. I think Tepper is delusional and thinks this roster is actually good.

Yeah... What's that somewhat dumb saying? The most important skill is the ability to stay on the field... This isn't like CMC at all, as CMC was widely considered one of the best skill players in the NFL by fans all over. Nobody has heard of Horn outside of Carolina.

Yup. One more year, then start fresh if needed.

haha I still remember all the moaning about how much we paid CMC. Good times, good times.
