NFL executives give Bryce Young early grade

I think the thing that makes this frustrating for most fans is that his counterpart(Stroud) is doing FARRRR better with a worse core unit around him(based on last year's standings and our FA acquisitions compared to there's).

 

Young was supposed to be THE missing piece to get us over our humps and struggles from last year and Reich was supposed to be the guy who had him ready to go and so far it's all looking like it was a pipe dream that we were sold by the organization on a severely undersized QB and mid-tier(at best) coach as we look even worse than last year. 

 

I think even the naysayers(including me) have hope and believe BY can possibly turn it around, it's just not looking good at all so far.

To me it’s not just Stroud, Richardson looked more in control when he’s out there than Bryce through two games. It could be a confidence thing. It could be too much in his plate vs theirs. Whatever it is, he’s looked the worst of the three first rounders. That’s not to say he’s looked bad or terrible, it’s just the other two have flashed more. And the game we just saw from Stroud is the type of game I was hoping to get from Bryce earlier on based on his college tape plus what everyone was saying in camp about his multiple arm angles and throwing guys open.

Yea... you could plug Richardson into the convo too, I just don't think it was ever beyond BY or Stroud and Stroud is showing more of a "What could have been for us" playstyle overall. 

 

It'll eventually play out like the Luka vs Trae Young trade in the NBA has... Young is solid, but Hawk fans continue to wonder what life would be like if they had faith in a foreign white guy and stuck w/ Luka. We might always wonder what the team would be like with a guy from a single mom household and low test scores compared to super computer smalls.

What I find interesting is the inconsistency of narratives: 
 

Clearly our interior line is bad, and guys haven’t been getting open. So Bryce is excused because of that. And that’s fine because it’s not untrue. 
 

And yet so often, other players aren’t given that grace, when in a similar spot. 
 

It’s just odd to me, when we had a franchise QB (Cam) who narrative blamed and didn’t make excuses for, while the opposite is the case for Bryce right now.

 

Both lacked help. One ate poo for it. One is being coddled because of it.

Nah, everything you just listed is your fault for having to high expectations per the bryce apologists. I wanted Bryce, I was wrong. But they should absolutely trot him out this weekend and it should result in one of two things: he either starts the rest of the year or he doesn't but possibly bring him in the final three games of the year when we're 0-14

This helps as well
