0-7 says otherwise. 

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.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
