Stroud defends Young

[Shocker]

He speaks the truth.  But, unless Bryce situation improves dramatically he will continue to struggle.  Our offense is horrible right now

Golden Tate defended Jimmy Clausen in the past.

Also, Mark Sanchez AND Jake Delhomme defended Sam Darnold before.

Right most will say nothing bad about friends and other players. Going into specific details about their situations is different though.

Eh I think it's still something friends would do for each other. 

Until Bryce looks better it's hard to really have much hope for him. He was put in a bad situation but he arguably made the offense worse, not better, at least compared to the backup.

I don't hate the guy and so hope he succeeds.  I just don't really put stock in what one of his best friends says.

Well let’s put it this way. A lot of people on here have stated he is in a better situation (doesn’t mean he isn’t still the better QB for example Mahomes was in a better situation that Mitch), several analysts have stated this as well, and now Stroud himself has said it and we still have people that will argue against it. At this point the only person involved that hasn’t stated it is Bryce himself for obvious reasons.

Pre-draft and post draft the media, some players, and fans all raved and told us how great a QB Bryce was. 

I’ve yet to see it. Even if CJ was on this team and we still sucked, he would’ve shown that he belonged. I haven’t seen the intangibles that people were raving about, nor the play making ability. Still waiting.

CJ great QB and great leader. Nice job Tepper and your fuging idiot squad

I like how before the season started this was deemed a terrific spot.  Better than Young's. ....and then after the season it was deemed a horrific spot for Bryce. 

I mean, never bought into that hype of the added talent BUT, to an extent, Bryce did have something to do with why it went so bad.....and CJ had a lot to do with why it went so well in Houston. 

I do think Andy Dalton showed a bit of a red flag.  Gameplans were skewed for Bryce.   He is part of the why.  All it took was an old washed up vet and the passing attack was different.

Because we were so horribly wrong about the coaches. We were legitimately drinking the kool-aid and thinking we might have the best staff in the league and it turned out to be the worst. I really think that's the difference and not that talent.

I don't think we were that off about the players. Burns and Sanders definitely underperformed but we also had guys like Luvu, Hubbard, and Brown who exceeded expectations. I think we can all agree Ickey was a victim of the scheme and the jury's still out on Young.

I try so hard not to bag on the kid, but all these folks rushing to prop him up makes it so damn hard.  Just stop.  Let the situation breathe.  Rookies can improve, it’s all we can honestly hope for.

[RumHam]

that's his boy. he did lay over in a game this year to let bryce win.

[mrcompletely11]

Pre-draft I cannot think of anyone that thought Houston was the better situation for a rookie qb

[RumHam]

do we have a QB coach hired yet? He needs to work on that footwork and pocket presence

[Jay Roosevelt]

Nice to see, but he's basically just stating the obvious. Anyone can see Bryce was bound to fail given the situation around him. Whether that means he'll bounce back with a better situation remains unknown.
