Terrified Cj stroud will be a stud

[Brent Gregory]

Stroud looks so much better at this point. I'm taking pride in the wonderlic scores to keep my spirits up however.....

I think it's safe to say he is way better than Bryce already....

He has a worse online, worse RB, and worse wr and has looked miles better.

Sucks but we blew that pick

That's just not true. He's not throwing into a bunch of tight windows all game. His guys are open and he's finding them.

Don’t use logic they won’t listen, just let him seethe

I was a Strouder, sure doesn't make me feel any better.

Stroud was my guy too, just hoping my gut was and is wrong about Bryce since that ship has sailed.

Think you missed him wizz by. The whole dumb thing just didn't register if you watched him play.

I never thought he was dumb. Just relaying what the comparisons were between the few two.

The "fandom" on this board is lacking.  Maybe the Texans have room on theirs. Might I add, there is nothing wrong with pointing out problems but some if you seem to be wishing failure upon the QB we did draft for the "I told you so" factor. I don't feel like we should be flying "the omg he's a bust" flag after 2 games. One guy can't carry the whole team and coaching staff on his back even though that would be great if one player could make such a difference.

It's definitely looking iffy. Still lots of time though. But Bryce Young basically has to play as good or better than Stroud when he comes back. Enough of the excuses. Get back to basics and just play ball.

I compared him to cams rookie performance you could argue that's not fair but I call bull poo . We traded away a lot more assets to get Bryce, Cam was our last #1 overall pick and he balled from game 1 

I just hate how divided the Bryce pick made our fan base. And it's going to get progressively worse until he improves his performance,  regardless of the reasons why he's been underperformed. 

I was griping that we picked young and I think I was almost banned here in the off season so I just stopped. All was trying to say is people here just didn't even consider the possibility that Bryce would fail and thats why everyone here is reacting so badly to his underperformance. Almost everyone got sacked up in to the hype train and it was a tsunami that drowned out any dissenting voices.

I get it. It was rammed down my throat too. Thought the "experts" must have seen something that I couldn't. Thought maybe I had a low S2 score.

any reasonable person knew this would be a very tough year. Scott or whoever said this season would be special was dumb for saying that and just doing media talk I suppose, but anyone who knows the bare minimum on this team should have known this would be a 4 to 6 win season. the hype train has not helped Bryce at all but hopefully outside of this board most know we've played 2 good defenses (1 that is dominant and top 5) with the worst wr corp in the NFL... and it might not be close. 

[SmittysLawnGuy]

Damn he looks good. That pass was straight dropped.

[CamWhoaaCam]

Josh McCown wanted Stroud you can't convince me otherwise. It's the Teppers and Frank who wanted Bryce Young.

He doesn't. No matter how much yall keep saying it.

Are you watching the Texans' game? 

If you are and you don't see a difference in separation for receivers, then you have an ulterior motive. It's not even close. If you can't see his recievers making plays for him, then... well you just don't want to see it. Bryce is not perfect. He's made mistakes. But his surrounding cast hasn't really helped. Whereas CJ's guys are just making plays and contested catches.
