CJ Stroud

[NAS]

If anyone wonders what he would’ve looked like with the Panthers last year with a shaky offensive line and no weapons .  Last night’s stat sheet vs Jets 

And yes he still looks the part  but just shows you it is a fine line between success and failure in the NFL.  Texans are obviously a better run team and will still win their division due to defense and a run game but Stroud is definitely in a bit of a sophomore slump

The Jets got 8 sacks last night. 

We have 9 for the whole season.

It could be seen as a sophomore slump, but just as Bryce Young struggled last year, Stroud is showing that it’s hard to survive in a broken environment — a weak O-line and lack of weapons.

I don't disagree with you, but as has been noted many times here, as the franchise QB he should be able to overcome that. I think it's normal to struggle with so much stacked against you though.

You’re allowed one bad game. This is basically Bryce stats every game.

The passing yards at 191 are still a little high for Bryce regularly in every game though aren't they?

Sure, except Stroud has the ability to stretch the field with deep passes. He did that often last night with ease, but couldn’t connect on many due to being flustered by the defense. BY9 gets flustered and can’t throw screens, let alone even think about any deeper passes. Stroud would’ve changed the franchise and done more with the situation last year. My thought at least. 
 

the hope is that last year showed tepper that he needed to step back from football decisions. There’s a positive in most situations and maybe we’ll see a new tepper in the near future.

I wouldn't focus on a Thursday games too much. They are the the worst product pushed by the NFL, well except the Panthers. That and the Europe games are such a substandard product but even those get a full week.

I would still take a player with the ability to play in the NFL over a guy who peaked in school any day and even on a dead end team like the Panthers.

The cope that Stroud would struggle here too is absolutely insufferable at this point in time.

It's better to just move on than continue with this charade.

Yeah its really dumb. Stroud still wouldve looked 10 times better than Bryce last year and of course we would be in much better position this year.

We missed on Stroud. It sucks, but we can’t pretend like he isn’t one of the better young QBs in this league. If we had him we would be in much better shape. What are they 6-3 with injuries to the OL, Nico, and Diggs? I’d take that in a minute. 

[strato]

When it is immediately apparent, and do I mean immediately apparent, that you have no way to stretch the field, you are fuged. We have been fuged since the first snap Young took.

Never forget: Designated Hail Mary QB. What else do you really need to know?

Designated QB sneak QB too but that's another issue. 

edit: so, yes Stroud compares favorably to Young and would on any NFL field with the same team around him.

Every qb has a bad game but the eyeball test doesnt lie.  Stroud can ball, bryce is a bust
