Do you watch CJ Stroud and wonder ‘what if’?

Watching him cook in Cincy and my mind ruminates on all the what if scenarios.

 

The Young miss would have been like we drafted Gabbert over Newton

Gabbert has a SB ring and has put together a long career in the NFL

Taking Bryce over Stroud is closer to if we were to have taken Jake Locker over Cam

Bryce Young has been sacked 29 times this season lmao... People really hide the truth to fit their narrative.

Some of those sacks were actually his fault just like they were in college. Bryce's style of play can lead to sacks and more hits, so simply stating the number and leaving that out is also fitting a narrative.

Even with his 130 yard game against the panthers, hes on pace for 5,000+........

 

Fyi texans would have had the #1 pick if not for a crazy 4th and super long conversion, it was on the game winning drive on the 17th game(i think)....they would have not traded out and most reports had them taking young.....

At this point it’s becoming a self fulfilling prophecy to keep patting yourself on the back over something that can’t be changed now…

CJ is gone let it go.. Do you still stalk your high school sweetheart years later wonder “what if” ?? If you do your a loser..

Plain and simple..

What a ridiculous comparison. If people are still groaning about it years from now okay go off but the draft was just in April.

And furthermore these two guys are going to have their careers connected for a long time you might as well get accustomed to it or just disconnect.

We still gloat about this from time to time and it was over a decade ago.

We'd still groan about it if we'd botched the pick.

 

 

And Cam would've probably gone on to have an even better career, but I digress.

We may have botched one this bad. We'll see.

Hurney was atrocious in many ways but for that moment that was an extremely important crossroads in franchise history he shut out the noise and made his pick a slam dunk. If a lot of people on the carolina huddle had their way we would have drafted Marcell Dareus.

Not just the Texans but even contenders wanted Bryce. That's why the Panthers traded up cause so many teams wanted him so they can't all be wrong. We just don't have any playmakers for Bryce to pass to since it was used to trade up.

    • I'd edited to be more clear where he was ahead of league average, but realize it was easily missed, sorry.  I do hope he falls off a cliff production wise because if he actually continues at this pace it's highly likely the TDs come and then he'll be a real problem. Anyway, to the stats... Shough is substantially better than the average in completion percentage, YPG, and INT% (68% vs 64.4% and 237 vs 215 and 1.7 vs 2.2). He is pretty close to the average in Y/A (7.14 vs 7.1) and rating (91.63 vs 91.8). He is a bit below the average in TDs per game (1.3 vs ~1.5, which is hard to average exactly due to the number of players that are part of this stat), QBR (51.54 vs 54.7) and quite a bit below in TD% (3% vs 4.7%). In advanced stats, he's above the league average in intended air yards/attempt (8.1 v 7.7) and on target % (76.8 vs 74.6), while barely below is in bad throw % (16.1 vs 16.0). This jives with what I've seen - decent young player, playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter, on a bad team. I've always said (and this is true of Bryce too, I even mentioned it this year) that I am less concerned with 30+ yard bombs than consistency at 15+ yards, because you need to be able to threaten past the sticks. Shough is doing that. Vs us in week 15 he had ~one third of his passes 15ish or more yards and he was money on them, and that wasn't really an exception, he has had some nice throws outside of that.  All that said, dude is just super new to the league, and once film gets out, if he does have limitations they will be exploited. No way he can get OROTY. And thanks for the kind words - I am prone to hyperbole at times, but I'm also just impressed by Shough. We'll see if he can keep it up (I hope not, unless the Saints randomly trade him lol)
    • To be fair, going from 2 wins, to 5 wins, to 8 wins at least is a pretty big positive no matter how insufferably miserable a select handful in this group want to make everything.
    • Yeah Moore is definitely going to be a problem.  I remember he was the favorite for our job at one point in time.
