This did not age well

Improved but not as good as his weapons on the Texans. The lack of separation, a byproduct of talent + scheme issues, would still be noticeable. 

I also assume the play calling would still protective of a rookie QB with our current staff. At 0-4, I hope they loosen the reigns. 

Yeah Reich “protecting” Bryce is akin to someone loving a bunny so much that they hug it to death. 
 

Gotta let the kid learn from mistakes. Taking away the opportunity for mistakes is making him look like a bust.

If Bryce Young weren't trash this assessment would be accurate.  How soon we forget that Cam Newton won an mvp with his best WR being a cast-off who would be a #3 on any other team.

Yeah, and we would have had multiple superbowls if we ever gave him actual weapons.

tbh - Cam's offensive line at least gave him an opportunity to make plays.  I'd like to see what a rookie Bryce can do with at least a bit of protection.  Also - you can't really compare prime Cam to a rookie Bryce.  I have a feeling Bryce will be a much improved player by year end, and in 3 years will be a force to contend with if they can actually put him in a reasonable position to be successful.

When Cam was hot he could just put the entire offense on his back. Maybe more so  than any quarterback in the history of the NFL.

Bryce was never gonna be that. But we traded up like he was.

I’m not crediting Houston’s offensive line for Stroud’s play, but they’ve genuinely held up better than our offensive line who might as well be made of 4 backups right now with how they’re playing. 
 

Stroud is playing great football. But let’s not pretend he would have 1200 yards in this offense. I don’t know if any quarterback would. 

I’d bet Andy would.

Bryce will be a great QB in this league but he is no Superman like Cam. No one is!!!

To be fair, a lot of people here claimed he didn't have great receivers at Alabama, but performed well. 

They were wrong as Bryce had Jameson who was a stud like Waddle but once he left for the draft, Bryce had to work with the decent receivers on the team and did a great job imo.

    • I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).
    • Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.
    • Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
