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

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.

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.

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

    • Are you now equating best/worst rush defense with best/worst defense? Those are separate things entirely. For rush defense, depending on how you quantify it, he has been largely in the bottom third of the league his entire career as a defensive coordinator.  As you can see, aside from his one year in Denver, he has never been above 20th in yardage. Now, there is context to consider which is most coordinators choose to run on him(24th-32nd ranked in his three year in Carolina). So, if you just simply look at Y/A, it has been a relatively mixed bag. Twice a top 15 defense but twice a bottom 15 defense.  The thing the should make all this good/bad run defense a lot clearer is the right most columns. Evero's defense has always prioritized pass defense and confusing QB's. That's the core of his defensive philosophy, as has been reported relatively widely. As much as there are ample personnel issues on that side of the ball(many of which he contributes to with his below average talent evaluations) his defenses may never be truly elite in rush and pass defense unless they are stocked with defensive talent. Like....his Denver defense that he inherited was. To that point, if you look at all those rankings from the three years Fangio(of whom Evero is a noted disciple) it shows a progression of getting steadily better into the far more elite defense it is now under Vance Joseph. As far as his HC interest, recall that he was a hot commodity after Denver and that cooled significantly after his first two years here. I suppose if you count getting interviews for HC positions as a benchmark for being a good coach(most would not) then he is middle of the packish.
