Well to your credit you have always qualified it with "on paper" or "going into the season".  But there's literally no other point in bringing all of that up other than to be arguing that we have similar supporting casts, unless I'm missing something.  Are you denying that that's what you're doing in these quotes?  It would appear to me at least, that you're doing the same exact thing I'm arguing against - opting to evaluate their supporting casts "on paper" rather than evaluating them on the field this season.  And this is all in the context of arguing against people who are partially excusing Bryce's poor start to the season because of his weak supporting cast.  I'll lay out the scene below...and for simplicity's sake, I'll just go ahead and cast you and I as the lead actors:

Me: "Of course Bryce has been playing bad...his o-line and receivers are awful"

You: "Well Stroud's o-line and receivers suck too...but he's still playing great.  Much better than Bryce."

Me: "His o-line and receivers haven't been nearly as bad as Bryce's"

And that's the point where we'd basically be inserting your quotes above.

Not ignoring you. Picking up my kid from school and then back to work. Will double back to this in a few hours.

It's all good, tbh I probably won't read it (or at least respond to it) until Monday anyways.  I tend to treat the Huddle like a M-F 9-5 job to pass some downtime at my actual M-F 9-5 job.  I don't usually spend a lot of my personal time on here besides maybe a little browsing here and there.

“Doesn’t change the fact that Stroud has thoroughly outplayed Bryce the entire season. Bryce isn’t even mentioned in ROTY conversations. Plus, he’s short.”

-Huddle Stroud Bros (probably)

Comparing Bryce to Stroud at this point is like comparing your son to your neighbors son who came in first place in a track meet while your son came in 2nd or third. Are you going to wish that you had their son instead of yours? Bryce is our QB and nothing is going to change that, at this time it's all about how you're going to support and help your son/Bryce achieve greatness.

I’m with you, but many posters here would certainly commence to wishing their neighbor’s son was theirs.

To be fair, CJ Stroud has a elite physical tools. Bryce doesn't. We drafted Bryce because we thought he was capable of doing a lot more mentally before the snap with adjustments and after the snap with processing that CJ Stroud and Anthony Richardson were. Early on it isn't looking like a smart bet.

Can you unban my account kind sir. I don't think my opinion differs from most here.

      Bust alert - Eight NFL players running out of time to prove themselves entering 2026 season

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      Bryce has improved each season, fwiw, statistically.  His slope is rising.  (Not to say I am high on him--I am not, but I have not given up on him--nor have I given up on XL, but damn he pisses me off)  CJ's slope is descending.   I was never a Penix fan.  Never, I say!

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      That is definitely the down side of all this--on paper, I would offer up a second rounder for him if he passed my interviews.  He has already gone through (seriously?) a treatment program for gambling addiction.  I just see him as a first round talent that we could get with a second rounder.  If I liked Bryce and felt good about paying him $50m per, I would not touch Sorsby.  If Bryce regresses or stays the same--he is going to expect to be paid.  Sorsby, in my view, has a better long-term future as an NFL QB.  He is big, mobile, has good arm strength, and makes wise decisions (on the field) with the football.  He is a great dual threat, RPO QB.   I think he is a perfect solution for the backup qb position and insurance for Bryce should he get injured or suck.  Pickett?  King?  yikes.

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      Hard to say--they are very unpredictable--this article came out last night---after our comments:  (ESPN)   How has the NFL approached NCAA players with gambling violations in the past? David Purdum, sports betting reporter: Quarterback Hunter Dekkers and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte were found to have committed gambling violations while playing college football, and both were allowed to pursue NFL careers. Dekkers was the projected starting quarterback at Iowa State but was ruled ineligible ahead of the 2023 season after an investigation found he had bet on at least one game involving the Cyclones (among other wagers that violated NCAA bylaws). The bet was just $15 on Iowa State to beat Oklahoma State in a 2021 game in which he did not play, but it led to the end of his Division I career. He played one season at Iowa Western Community College in 2024 before signing with the Saints as an undrafted free agent, and he spent last season on the practice squad. Boutte was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in January 2024 on charges of underage betting while at LSU. The arrest came roughly eight months after he had been drafted in Round 6 by the Patriots, and the charges were ultimately dropped. According to police, Boutte placed more than 8,900 wagers from April 2022 to May 2023, including betting on at least 17 college football games -- at least six of which involved LSU during that span. The NFL did not discipline Boutte.
