If You Say So Wow GIF by Identity

Before you all go bonkers, the article does go on to say stroud is still ahead, however bryce has made significant improvements to get CLOSER to stroud, whereas stroud has been worse this season.

tl;dr

Stroud is still ahead of young, but the Trajectories are going in different directions.

Next year will be interesting. Stroud fell into an amazing situation his first year and did a great job taking advantage of it. Bryce had basically the exact opposite. Now this year Strouds team has regressed and so has he. Bryce again, the opposite. Year 3 will be real fun to follow between these 2. I think both will be great

Young's growth in the past few weeks has been astronomical. I'm not going to sit here and assume he's already hit his ceiling. His play has forced me to stop making any assumptions. I doubt after week 2, even the most die hard Panthers optimists and Bryce supporters envisioned any world where Bryce and Stroud could be uttered in the same breath with a straight face. The way Bryce Young is raising his game and CJ Stroud is regressing or at best stagnating, I suddenly don't think that's an outlandish possibility. And articles like this seem to hint it as well. But this is obviously still a time will tell situation.

Too small of a sample size to make any sound argument right now. If someone wants to argue otherwise by all means. But it would be rooted in hopium. We need to establish this is not a flash in the pan.

For him to even enter into the conversation of a QB who was in MVP talks as a rookie would require the same. If he is doing this and more consistently next season then we have the basis of an argument. Right now he is in the 20-25 range at best in the midst of a season that is a rare low point for passing overall in the NFL.

This is the kind of narratives you get when they're only watching the highlights from both players

What do you mean?

The article seems pretty reasoned - neither player has had a great sophomore year, but Young has been improving the last 6 starts while Stroud has not, though he a lot of that appears to be on supporting cast... The article is clear to say Stroud is still ahead.

      Can confirm that Lloyd is interested in the UNC job and isn't using it as a crutch for a pay raise and that Arizona already has a contingency plan in place if he leaves. I'm beginning to think based on rumblings that's he already decided to leave and informed UNC and Arizona of this. "Both schools knowing explains the information coming out of Arizona."

      Lance Zierlein's Position Rankings 2026 Draft

      With the DBs, I see more role definition than positional these days, so tend to view value a bit differently there...Basically, there's better defined roles to focus on rather than what position is listed next to their profile. Those roles: 1-The Outside Corner Group - obviously the highest valued DB  2-The Safety/Slot group - Higher-end safeties that can play slot/NB( I.E. It's the modern guy people want-- Hamilton, Branch, Pitre, Emman, the list goes on)   3-The smaller Nickel-only group.  Most of the time undersized guys that can't play outside -- the good ones end up out their 70% of the time these days with how much teams use 5/6DB sets.   4-The safety-only group    Regarding group 2: If you have a guy that runs in 2SH next to TM but then in a dime package be pulled into the slot so you can play Ransom/Scott back there, that's good value.   They really just play either spot at any given moment dependent on the matchup.  They allow for defenses to better disguise and make QBs think sideways.   Thieneman, McNeil-Warren, & Haulcy all fall into this group for me this year.
