"superstar"?

good for him, but superstar in XFL is at best backup in NFL. 

people play in XFL (or any other "professional" league) because they can't cut it in NFL.

If you run "superstar" through Google Translate for SpecialJuanese -> English, it means he had at least 2-3 tackles in his XFL career.

ANTWUAN JACKSON DT OHIO STATE | 2023 NFL DRAFT PROFILE AND SCOUTING REPORT
 
Strengths: Short, stumpy build so he typically wins the leverage battle. When he does so, Chapman can be tough to move, even showing the ability to handle double-teams.
 
Strong tackler. Has good power in hands and can anchor, shed, and chase.
 
Played with good leverage, even on the nose, despite average bulk. Hustle defender with a good bull rush inside that can close and get home when quarterbacks leave the pocket.
 
Lacks the size to compete as a traditional defensive tackle and is a projection to any other position.
 
Played with lean and leverage against the run, tough for one man to move (sometimes double-teams, too).
 
 
Weaknesses: Might be limited to one-gap systems. Agility isn't a question but misses tackles when he doesn't square and break down.
 
Only adequate burst off the snap even when directly over the ball, and his initial pop leaves room to be desired.
 
Hands could be much more violent when trying to gain control of the block. Does not hold his ground while facing a double-team; first instinct is to roll away to make a play, which can create a large hole.
 
Has limited range and is more of a run-stuffer who won't make many plays in the backfield - a mid-round, prospect who should be able to offer depth along the defensive line in any scheme.
 
Isn't able to consistently shed blocks and makes plays in the hole.

I think superstar was an embellishment by Juan

      Lol. The Texans are literally one of Bryce's six career NFL wins. WTF are you talking about?

      Yeah, I mean it is a statistical fact and also part of literally a player evaluation. Winston has literally lost dozens of games in his NFL career due to crippling TO's. It's just who he is. Look, it's fun when those insane throws work and he is leading you back from some crazy deficit. But those success are rare. It's why his career GWD count is so low. He's fun but he is fundamentally built to lose games.  If you are talking about a backup QB, you are literally already losing in the first place. That's how you see a backup QB and that's overwhelmingly what they tend to do. Rookie QB's almost always benefit from veteran QB's. Same as literally any other position in the NFL. Why do you think that you so often hear that from the playera themselves? As for Bryce NEEDING one, no he sure as poo shouldn't this late in the game. But he also shouldn't have needed this fuging long to get his fuging footwork straightened out either. Yet here we are.

      Comfortability is the primary reason. They don't want to hurt Bryce's confidence. But I say if his confidence is that fragile that healthy competition which makes everyone better is enough for them to keep making Andy Dalton rich then Bryce was never going to be the guy anyway. Give me the QB who sees the competition amongst his peers and uses it to take it to the next level. Instead we get the guy who comes out looking like a deer in the headlights against the Texans after we've done everything possible to appease him. Definition of complacency.
