It's the QB's fault the LT whiffs on blocks and the WRs struggle for separation, though.

Where have I said that? You are making up an argument that doesn’t exist between us because there’s currently no real argument to be had between who has performed better this year between Bryce and CJ. 
 

There’s still a whole season of football left and Bryce can show out. For both of them in a two game sample they are on opposite ends of the productivity spectrum.

Where'd I say it was just you? I wasn't talking about you. Glad to pull receipts on others though,

Also on opposite ends of the gameplan spectrum, the opposing defense spectrum, the open-WR spectrum.

It's interesting how quickly narratives can flip. Everyone assumed CJ was going to one of the worst possible destinations with a joke of a staff and a roster devoid of any offensive talent while Young was going to a team although doing some reshuffling with the roster a great fit for a rookie QB to be dropped into because they're  helmed by an all star staff.

Meanwhile Stroud has already thrown for 626 yards and 2 touchdowns at 6.9 YPA while Young is rock bottom in YPA amongst his peers and possibly now sitting because the staff doesn't want to risk his development.

Life comes at ya fast.

Well, I didn't want Reich. I had enough skepticism for probably a half dozen Huddlers, but I decided to push that aside for the time being and give him a chance. It's still early, but the supposed shine of the all-star staff looks more like sweat on a bald head.

It's why I really think the receivers argument is cookie-cutter-excuse-making bullshit.  Have anyone not a Texans fan tell you about their receiving corps.  We have better talent and despite early impressions here, Reich didn't have terrible offenses where he was OC and HC, so us having record low stats was not expected, nor acceptable.

Reich's play calling was somewhat sketchy in the minds of Indy fans. He was/is also somewhat of a slow starter (which could give us hope depending upon perspective).

Justin Fields ain't walking through that door my guy, you're gonna have to find a Plan B in your playbook to insult me, this one's tired and used up

Who cares about Fields? That draft is over and done with. We made our bed with Horn.

I'm focused on the haul we gave up this year only to have to resort to starting Andy Dalton in week 3.

    • This is about getting open and YAC....and the QB we have.  You basically are just highlighting average depth when targeted vs 2 players. .  And yeah, I often say AT is a small slow reliable TE in terms of what he does for us.   That's what he is.   I think a couple of you want to make this into a Renfrow argument.   I'm a Renfrow fan.  Renfrow does not check the box of what a BY O needs either at the slot.  Renfrow just a niche roleplayer at this level.  it's easy to look up how horrific AT is with the ball in his hands and in terms of getting open.....and it's also easy to look up what a low ceiling of an offense the steady AT diet produces w/ BY. 
    • The one time he's actively tried to lose was the best we've ever done.
    • I simply acknowledge BY is the QB.  And just like we did when we drafted him.....the type O you would need to setup around him for success was always pretty simple.  But we have done virtually the opposite.  XL dropping some passes isn't why we were ranked the 32nd O and 30th passing the past 2 years.  *Ricky Prohel was brought up only in regards to role function he served on the team.  Niche/specialist.   He wasn't eating up the snaps in the O.    AT should have a similar snap %. People could MAUL Ricky Prohel and put hands all over him.   We got to the Super Bowl in part because we were mauling guys (our slot CB).   You can't do that now.  AT has a MUCH easier life and still can't get open.  Or run.    If you live in 3 WR sets, with a weak armed QB, and you choose to put someone who can't get open or run in the slot.......well, your are going to have a weak pass O.  That's by design IMO.
