Exactly. Say what you will but us fans that dislike Alabama are glad he is gone and the offense without him looks to be one of the worst they’ve had in a while.

I think we wanted Ben Johnson until he backed out. The thing is we have a young talented former McVay assistant coach on our staff. Thomas Brown needs to call plays.

Damn Burrow missed his WR pretty badly there.

The first chunk of his rookie season as a starter. Looks like he got better in the later part of the year (late November) https://alabama.rivals.com/news/breaking-down-bryce-young-s-deep-balls-against-arkansas After struggling with long passes earlier in the season, the sophomore has developed his deep ball in recent weeks. Over his last four games, Young has a 377.69 passer rating on throws of 20 yards or more, completing 11 of 17 for 437 yards and five touchdowns with no interceptions.

Thank you!!!!

Reasonable fans calling a rookie a bust after 2 games? I don’t think you know what reasonable means…. Oh and a brand new alias. Shocking…

Some of them actually just don’t have what it takes. Burrow’s OL was awful, Stafford’s OL was bad, Lawrence is making it as a day 1 starter, Cam did, Luck did with a bad OL. Stroud is progressing with a bad OL.

Their OC has Baker in top form too.

If you can’t make it in SF you can play QB in this league IMO.

Wilson was a one year wonder who looked bad against decent competition. He made some jaw dropping throws at his pro day and the scouts gave in to the hype.

Nah he went to a small school.

Yeah they were able to move on from them because they aren’t starters in the NFL. WTF are you even doing labeling a couple busts? There are plenty of examples of it working as well. You really think we traded all that capital to move up and draft a QB at 1 to roll with Dalton all year?

That doesn’t bother me either. He will be linked to them. I was all about Stroud before the draft and he looks legit. I get it’s frustrating. I’m just trying to comb through nonsense to find legit football info. I think you have a group of negative posters (which is fine they are free to have their opinions) but they freak out and overreact whenever the team struggles. Some seem to thrive on it. Maybe it is a form of coping who knows?

THE NATIONAL MEDIA??? Oh poo it must be true then. Who care what our staff is saying about our doctors the national media can never lie. My bad man.

Are you wanting me to quote all of them? Just type “bust” in the search bar and you will see a couple posts mocking those users then a bunch of users saying it. It’s been all over here. People are talking about getting a first next year to draft his replacement.

Oh I wasn’t calling you out specifically. Just in general on this forum. You are usual fair and logical.

Critical is fair and fine. Overreacting calling him a bust and making up a theory for a “soft” benching is extreme. So is bumping every Stroud thread.

Agreed, but the WRs haven’t got many chances to make those Tank Dell plays. They had some nice catches with Dalton airing it out. We need to draw up some plays where Young gives the WR a chance on some deep routes and the Vikings would be a good start.

If he can’t get past that he won’t ever become our franchise QB. Better find out now vs later. Winning a couple extra games with Dalton while leaving Young as a question mark does us no good. We are better off losing their extra games and seeing if Young can develop.

There is a happy medium where every thread isn’t a Stroud predraft thread or already writing off our top pick after 2 games or conspiracy theories about benching him. Most people know he needs work but can also agree it’s a very small sample size.

Zavala is affecting his surrounding OL. Might want to put him back on the RG side where he played decent.

Caleb is saying he might stay another year depending on who is at 1. Rattler would be a terrible move. The point is at some point you have to try to get your QB. Maybe Young was the right guy maybe he wasn't, but the alternative was to keep signing Darnolds, Bakers, and Teddys while winning enough games to not get a top pick to use on a QB. Roll with Young these next two years and if he implodes we will have a top pick to try again in 2025. Were you not saying Young will be a good pick as well? I know you preferred Stroud.

The fans don't want to see Dalton. The best thing for Young is to get experience. If he is healthy he needs to play against a bad defense at home. That's what the season is about.
