It's amusing that people say things like this with the utmost confidence.

Do you have any other information you can give us about the alternate universe where we draft CJ Stroud?

Stroud didnt look superstar yesterday but even his not superstar days for the most part look good. God I want that at WB for us so badly. I want us to consistently pass for 250+ yards per game at will and see multiple TD passes thrown per game. If you have a good RB, I bet it pens up running room for him and all of a sudden your ground game starts looking good as well.

What game were you watching? He made some elite throws yesterday.

He did, but didnt look as elite as some other games ive seen of his. He looked good no doubt but my point was even when he doesnt look all world he still looks so much better than anything we have seen in a very long time. His bad day is almost to the point of us not even seeing it on our best QB days.

Disagree.

I think it's the coaching, scheme and personnel that are making the difference. Put Bryce in Houston and the results are similar to what CJ7 is doing. Put Stroud in Carolina and fans would be second guessing why we didn't take Bryce.

Everything about how we're built and how players are being used is awful. We had a decent OL last year, we forced square pegs into round holes. We had a balanced RB room last year, signed a new RB into a scheme that doesn't fit his skills. Our version of Nico Collins is TMJ....we see how that turned out. Downs was available, we passed on him. Schultz was available....we brought in Hurst. 

Ryans was never going to be the guy we wanted nor did he want to come here, but Steichen was. He supposedly gaffed the interview, but Reich and his clown car of "All Star" league of extraordinary gentlemen was superior. Wrong. 

I'm not saying Bryce hasn't had a frustrating rookie year full of mistakes, but to think Stroud would look how he has here and Bryce would be this trash QB in Houston is doing a disservice to Houston's franchise and looking past how broken our front office is.

Stroud has worse wrs similiar oline and rb and worse defense and is playoff bound.  If he had been the pic we easily make the playoffs and reich is coach of the year.

    • The thing is, he was pitched as a lower risk, lower ceiling QB that was basically ready to play out of the gate. Turns out, the higher risk, higher ceiling guy in Stroud was the actual ready to play QB from that draft. I realize that there is no reasonable scenario where we make that trade and sit Bryce Young but the reality is, he would have benefited perhaps the most from largely being a 2nd or 3rd string QB for 2-3 seasons to work on all his flaws and get adjusted to the NFL level. I can't say he'd be an elite QB at the end of that, but I don't think he would be trending bust as rapidly as he currently is.
    • And quite a bit of that was him never really tightening up his throwing mechanics until his arm was already shot.  He said he bought too much into that Superman mentality on his podcast. I think that was another element of that. His arm was so fuging strong that he just never really thought he needed to focus on tightening up that aspect of his game, IMO. Well, literally not until his arm had already been destroyed.
    • Yes but he had previous shoulder issues. That was the very large nail in that coffin. Sadly, I am not sure Cam's arm is much stronger than Bryce. We remember him in New England and his return here. The decline was really far.  Given how recent his league MVP and SB appearance was to his career ending(effectively) injury, he will go down as one of the biggest "what could have been" stories of this era. Very, very sad.
