fug it.....I was wrong.

Call me crazy, but I still don’t think Young is a miss. Even Peyton Manning had a bad rookie year. Bryce is playing with an awful team and with awful coaching.

Yeah, Richardson's injuries are a massive concern. Especially considering how he's going to have to play to be elite. He's gotta basically play like Cam 2.0. That's an impossible row to hoe if you're fragile.

Yeah. He is not really a good QB. His stats don't really look that favorable even compared to someone like Bryce. Especially when it comes to being a dink and dunk king.

But the injuries are a huge deal. Richardson is a very, very, very poor man's Cam. He can't afford that.

I was an AR guy. I always thought he had the lowest floor and highest ceiling if he could get the right coaching and system. Steichen was probably the best HC he could have gotten. I also don't think he was worth moving up to get. He was a project pick. At 9, that's a good pick. Trading up to get him, no. The only pick worth trading up to get was CJ. 

Yeah, at 9 AR wouldn't have been a terrible gamble. At 1 that is a franchise altering mistake.

First pick was dumb, but I’ll live with the second one (for a rookie all day). He thought he could drop it over that defender and that doesn’t work in the NFL, but he learned from it. Might as well let him throw and let him make mistakes.

I was skeptical of Reich (wanted Steichen) but I warmed up after he brought in his "all star staff". Just lol

I wanted Stroud during the regular season last year but jumped ship to Young when it started looking like it was him come mid April. Double, triple lol.

Third week in a row I'm saying it: The team needs to ditch Reich now and let Brown take over the offense, and I can't really judge Bryce until that happens. Every week we let Reich control things is a week lost

No he can't. I personally don't think he's ready to start yet. I get why he is, but Minshew has looked better so far. He needs some time to learn the NFL game. He also needs to learn how to preserve his body. Even Josh Allen has had to cut back because his body can't take the abuse of being a power runner all game. Cam was the first to have his career shortened because of relying on athletic ability too much to carry his offense.

I know, which makes these clowns who come around and beat their chest proclaiming they were right about so and so as if they weren't just as much a dumbass daily as I am.

We're all morons who get a ton of poo wrong. At least I acknowledge that.

I thought you almost  banned me in the off season for saying I didn't believe in Bryce after we drafted him

There's a reason why people keep clinging to QBs from previous generations. The league has changed. The new rules about illegal contacts hits on QBs, etc. have fundamentally changed the game. It is still obviously very hard to play QB in the NFL, but it's a lot easier than it was in the '90s.

I’m pretty sure a majority of the Huddle wanted Stroud. There was a poll and he was the leader by a good margin. 

Until the media wave that pushed Bryce and put cj down with that campaign of negative news about him. Most people wanted cj until they got on the hype train basically

You're crazy. 

But it's okay. 6 years of uninspired, less than mediocre football have made us all a little crazy.

They got on the Young hype train when we found out he was going to be our pick. Just fans getting pumped about their new QB. Regardless Stroud was the favorite. If Stroud was leaked as the pick his hype would have been even higher as he was the favorite.

Yeah, those "turnaround" stories aren't as common now.

[Jon Snow]

I ain't even mad. I expected that they would lose early on. What I didn't expect was the team to look so bad. They play as if they never practice.  This is some of the worst game planning and play calling I've seen this team make.
