Yeah one is looking at his play through the eyes of a fellow professional QB at the highest level and the other is looking at it through the eyes of an upset fan who just wants a win.  It's all about perspective.  

Wins and losses, to me, aren’t a QB stat anyway. You can ball out and lose or some games you can play like trash and win.

Or he's just coming to the defence of his close friend. 

I'm no longer an upset fan - I'm genuinely rooting for us to go 0-17 because I think it'd be hilarious and entirely warranted.

Jimmy G is showing us your exact point.  On the Niners with an elite defense, running game, OL, and weapons he was winning a lot.  You take away some of those things like he is missing on the Raiders and wins don't come so easily.

He went into extra detail which isn't needed.  Rodgers also said Young looks the part, Cam also said something similar.  

You can say you aren't upset about wins but the first response you had on here was our record and how it relates to our QB.

It's the most important position in professional sports. They have as big a hand in wins and losses as a starting pitcher in MLB - only they're on the mound every game.

And wins and losses are being viewed more and more as a pointless stat as time goes on. ERA is significantly more important. Giving up 10 runs a game but your team scoring 11 doesn’t make you a good pitcher. But your win-loss record would indicate you are. 
 

Hence why in recent times people like deGrom have won Cy Young awards over pitcher with a bunch more wins than them.

Yes....IN THE PUBLIC. 

Nah I agree with LG.  A shootout against your friend with you having the game winning drive would be perfect.  Strong competitors like strong competition.  They want to go against the best performing at their best and beat them.

I don't doubt he wants his very good friend to play well and thinks highly of him. Privately though I have to imagine Stroud and his family are taking some level of comfort in the fact the Panthers have been a complete mess and he avoided that. He should be highly motivated entering this game. We should as well. We better not lay another egg. We need Bryce Young looking like a #1 pick.

Thats the point. To think he actually feels sorry or remorse for whats going on here and bryce is delusional. These players all have that edge and want to show why teams shouldn't have passed on them. All that matters is his performance and getting his team. Who cares whats going on with the Bryce and panthers. That matters nothing once the game starts.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Disclaimer:  In June, I am usually optimistic.  In October, a policeman with a bullhorn is telling me that I have a lot of life ahead of me and to think about my loved ones as I gaze down upon him from my rooftop.   Having said that, I think our offense (down the stretch) was good enough to play KC and Philly tough.  So how many games would this offense have won if they played the entire season like they did in November-January and if they had a better defense?   If you could stretch the last nine games over an entire season and put a solid defense on the other side, I see 5 wins becoming 7 or 8.  Down the stretch, the Panther D surrendered 30 points or more in 5 of the final 7 games and managed to win 2 of those 5.  If they can win 40% of games in which their defense surrenders 30 points or more, then the math indicates, had that been the case all season, the Panthers should have won 6 or 7 games with their defense surrendering 30+ points.   This season, we are much better at WR (TMac, Renfrow, Horn, and I expect XL to be a lot better).  Bryce is confident and now a leader.    The Achilles' heel of the 2024 defense, the DL, seems to be very solid.  We got back Horn and Jackson on the corners, Smith-Wade is improving better than expected, we signed a stud Safety.  Derrick Brown returns.  While the D is not there yet, it is going to be better.   So if we ended the second half of 2024 playing at a level that should have produced 6-7 wins, better WRs and a better defense could result in 9 wins or more.
