He wasn't the only one reporting this.

Back during pre-draft days, pretty much everyone believed the Texans had Young as their top prospect.

It's not hard to figure out.  We have Houston players talking about how happy they are now that they won that meaningless game last year to drop to 2nd.  If Stroud was their guy they would just pick him at 1 if they didn't win.  We have Ryans saying he had Stroud and Young as 1A and 1B.  If Stroud was his guy all along he would happily say so.  He either liked Young or it was truly 50/50.  Young was a popular choice as QB1 in this draft.

Definitely not saying he was the only one, but ideas spread, then those who choose to adopt those ideas mentally own them as “theirs” and defend them. Sometimes in obvious ways. Sometimes in slick ways. 
 

“Texans wanted Young but they will never admit it” is a pointless thing to say, and comes off like saying “see it wasn’t just me, everyone else too.”

 

It softens the feeling of “being wrong.” An ego massaging trick.

Which reminds me: everyone likes to call out Chris Simms on his misses, but he definitely appears correct on his Stroud/Young take.

Perhaps he’s saving face because he liked Bryce…

Unless things change, it’s gonna be clear everyone was under a collective delusion that a wonderic test can make up for a lack of physical talent.

Stroud is undoubtably elevating everyone around him. Young isn’t. That can change but it’s the case right now.

Missed on Corral/Wilson. Nailed it on Mahomes/Stroud. 

Also it's not like he wasn't high on Young.  He just loved Stroud and rightfully so.

I respect the hell of simms for doing his own ranks and not patrioting like 99% of these draft gurus do. 

Plus LOL at alll the hate he gets for being wrong a couple times, he is suppose to be perfect??  Everyone has misses, he does seem to off the "normal" path and get it right solo. Sorta like smitty about WRs.

I've been a fan of Schultz since he was with the Cowboys.

hurst was signed in first few days of FA while Schultz ended up having to take a one year prove it deal later in FA. would have been a great security blanket for Bryce instead, we ended up signing an inconsistent and older TE on his fourth team for more future cap hit and less production

People bitch about Bryce over Stroud, but how about Mingo over Dell?

As a neutral fiterererererer fan, you can do that with any 2-7 round picks.......feeels like the herinay era in that regards... 

Mingo should be a big part of 2024 plans as well, good or bad.....

      I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.

      I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years.

      He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
