If Young had all those guys around him he would be bigger, stronger, faster, have a NFL caliber arm and wouldn't look like a undersized college QB! 

Comparing him to Lawrence just makes him look like a flat out bust. They only things that they have in common is being picked #1 and their rookie HC got fired mid season, one for his actions and the other for being apart of the Young trainwreck.

Yes they do.. For some reason that bad roster is playing better and it isn’t 1 player doing it..

Their defense has made a jump.. 

The Oline has been consistent..

Tank Dell and Nico Collin’s have developed into weapons you fear.. 

The coaching on both sides of the ball is obviously better.. 

This is suppose to be the ultimate team sport right.. So why is it so hard to give credit to that team..

There is nothing wrong with giving credit to the team, but the point is they drafted a bonafide franchise  QB that has changed the culture of that team clearly... and everybody knows how much of an impact that it is. The texans were getting blasted as an organization and had a bunch of drama prior to this season, you can count on two hands how many games they have won the last few years. They have a really young first year HC and a young first year OC and a bunch of vet players that were at the top of nobodies list but Tunsil coming into the season, when you add in the fact that they have had so many starters not even available this year it makes it even more clear. If the coaches were more experienced and they already had a pro bowl level vets then all the credit would be warranted but the truth is Strouds impact has been so great that they maybe have 1 win without him, they have won majority of their games off his back. Thats is the truth and thats what people are refusing to acknowledge which is why they look foolish trying to deflect so much.

One guy has ideal NFL QB measurables. The other guy had to be able to overcome completely lacking NFL QB measurables.

I’m sorry this is BS.. This is the ultimate team sport 1 guy shouldn’t get all the credit plain and simple..

And this whole “what I thought of the team before is all that matters” is stupid argument.. 

Just because you thought this player sucked before doesn’t change the fact that “this year” he got better… 
I think Stroud is a amazing and have thought that for years now… And I’m a UM fan.. But he isn’t doing this alone.. Coaches change the culture not players.. Demco brought the San Fran defense to Houston and now it’s giving up nothing on the ground and jump almost 12 spots in rankings.. Does that matter??

    • You kinda gloss over this, but this is really at the crux of this whole argument....which Flacco are we talking here?  You bring up that he played with 3 different teams but ignore the fact that his performance varied quite a bit from team to team. 2024 Colts: 65.3% completion, 12 TDs, 7 INTs, 220.1 YPG, 7.1 Y/A, 90.5 rating 2025 Browns: 58.1% completion, 2 TDs, 6 INTs, 203.8 YPG, 5.1 Y/A, 60.3 rating 2025 Bengals: 63.4% completion, 12 TDs, 3 INTs, 290.6 YPG, 6.8 Y/A, 96.2 rating 2025 Flacco (Browns + Bengals): 61.1% completion, 14 TDs, 9 INTs, 252.0 YPG, 6.1 Y/A, 80.8 rating vs. 2025 Bryce: 62.7% completion, 14 TDs, 7 INTs, 196.2 YPG, 6.2 Y/A, 86.0 rating I bolded the comparison that I think objectively makes the most sense...just simply comparing the two QBs for the entire season.  Otherwise you'd be cherry-picking Flacco's time with the Bengals and ignoring his earlier stint with the Browns, which sounds an awful lot like people cherry-picking Bryce's stats in the second half of last season. So again, which Flacco?  Basically the only thing consistent with Flacco across each of these teams was his W/L records: 2-4, 1-3, and 1-4 respectively.  I'd say if we're comparing each version of him to Bryce this year: Colts Flacco > 2025 Bryce, Browns Flacco <<< 2025 Bryce, Bengals Flacco >> 2025 Bryce, and 2025 Flacco < 2025 Bryce - Flacco this year only beats out Bryce on YPG but in part because he throws significantly more passes (almost 60 YPG more than Bryce, despite a lower Y/A which is pretty telling) .  Flacco is maybe the most apt case study about how important a QB's circumstances are to his success.  He was easily a bottom 3 QB in Cleveland and arguably top 10-15 in Cincinnati...and we're talking about the same player from the same season.  All that happened was taking him from one team and plopping him onto another team; nothing inherently changed about him as a QB.  Funny enough I think that's all that one dude on here was trying to say when he made that long poorly-received post after having an epiphany working for PFF behind the scenes or w/e.  That it's largely short-sighted to just try to evaluate QBs in a vacuum when there are so many variables at play that ultimately decide whether a QB is successful or not.   I think Bryce has been mediocre at best this season and I'm ready to move on regardless of how he ends this season - I'm highly skeptical a strong end to the season will carry over into next year considering how last year ended and this year began.  I would certainly agree that he's a bottom-third QB this year.  I just don't understand you scoffing indignantly at anyone holding the opinion that Bryce has had a better season than Flacco...I can only assume it's recency bias.  Or maybe you know the stats don't support you, which is why you're conjuring up the god-forsaken arbitrary "eyeball test" which is the kinda thing people in here were saying about Fields for years, pinky promising that he really truly was a franchise QB despite his awful stats.  Perhaps it's called the eyeball test because I roll my eyes anytime I hear someone bring it up seriously as an argument.
    • CMC said he expected to play his career here.  He didn't think he would be traded.  Carolina decided they wanted to trade him.  He picked here he wanted to go.   But we dumped him.  For largely peanuts.   But we dumped DJ Moore and he never had a blood and guts game.   So it's never a guarantee. 
    • I have many people telling me CMC was blindsided and heartbroken by the trade, but that's not how I remember everything going down.  49ers are pretty wounded right now on defense so if our offense can sustain drives and score, that'd be the difference maker. Their offense? I'm not scared of CMC.
