Texans just doing Texans things. Like seriously, why TF would you not only risk development, but injury throwing him out there with backups? That sounds like some Rhule type sh*t honestly. 

Then pull him after a bad decision… It’s like they are doing everything to slow down his progression.

That was a big red flag IMO. They either didn't trust Stroud not to spiral or they sent the message to their rookie that he's on a tight leash. If you trust the kid and you're committed to building around him you gotta put him back out there. Dial up some layups for him. This is just a bad look. Not sure on who or if it's on everyone. Don't wanna overreact to preseason stuff but the way that transpired is concerning.

I would hope so. Wasn’t he the full time starter last year vs a rookie’s first preseason series?

I don't want my back up QB that couldn't make it as a starter looking 10X better than my #2 pick.

If Young goes out there and gets outperformed by Dalton, I would be bummed. And Dalton shitts on Mills.

Definitely a rough start for Stroud. Imagine this place if Bryce has similar struggles tomorrow, yikes! I remember Cam looking sort of out of place his 1st preseason too. The young guys just need time. Remember to temper expectations because again, its preseason!!!

Cam actually had pretty rough entire preseason.  Im not sure he even threw a TD pass and played in all 4.  No one saw the opening game coming

All along anyone could tell you the Texans were a bad situation for Stroud to walk into. He has had a rough introduction to the NFL but it's weird some folks are so eager to hate on him. Most of them here have one obvious thing in common. Anyways hopefully Bryce Young has a decent first outing Saturday. I expect some ups and downs and that's okay just show me some flashes too.

Also looks like a rookie in his first preseason game.

Not gonna read too much into it but yeah, he didn't look too good.

This game is a "let's see who can screw up the most" game. Just some ugly football. I hope like hell we at least play better than these 2 teams.

Unreal people were praising the Texans for that. One of the dumbest trades I can remember… even if Will Anderson becomes a pro bowler you have to protect your rookie QB first 

Have to. It’s prob a top 3-5 pick next year and that’s your chance at MHJR. Could’ve had JSN and MHJR and opted for defense instead. I hate it for Stroud.

    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
