  1. To be clear, CJs struggling season is still quite good for a young player.
  2. Most of the Bryce skeptics do admit he was in a poo situation (see above and a Frankw and I commenting how silly it was to think out roster was better than theirs). But man he was beyond bad in most games last year. CJs struggles this year are a mix of things, but he still makes a few good plays a game.
  3. It's definitely comical. Nico Collins developed well with Stroud, along with the other receivers. But before that, posters here thought WE had a better roster on offense . This year, our OL is unquestionably better. But yeah I'm not trying to slight Stroud by saying his receivers were very good. And I agree on that mutual development. Stroud has a chance to be one of the top handful of players at his position; I don't know his receivers are quite that good, but when healthy they are damn good
  4. Stroud had extremely good receivers last year. But he is also extremely good himself. And the team he was drafted into was not high on talent overall...
  5. I think it's all relative and the headline was certainly chosen to garner attention and controversy. Young is closing the gap - because the gap was "elite, top of NFL QB vs complete bust.". Just how journalism goes, for better or worse.
  6. I think the headline is making people think it says something different than it does... It does say not to judge either player by their rookie year, tho. But it says this: "None of this means that the Young versus Stroud debate should be completely reborn. Stroud remains the superior player and will likely remain so unless something drastically changes. However, Young has looked like he has the tools to be a solid quarterback in the NFL over the past six weeks – as long as he continues to improve. And Stroud still possesses the mechanics to become a top player in the NFL – just not in Year 2."
  7. 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.
  8. You might want to check how most QBs ultimately do vs Philly. They are a very good defense. Bryce had some clutch 3rd/4th down passes and tho he had his worst game recently he still had us a dropped pass away from winning.
  9. Overall he's shown huge strides. And I think he has shown he can make almost every throw he needs to, but some need to be done with more consistency and placement. Bryce is missing guys very deep in a general sense; sometimes they manage to get to the ball anyway, sometimes they drop it. Some of that is just the experience together. He also has times where his footwork is terrible, but it's so much better than earlier in the season. Last game, either he or Canales was not getting the offense to the line fast enough (this is hard to be sure of), which I think reflects the inexperience of both. Fwiw, we do have YAC guys in Coker and Sanders... Just need to get them on the field again.
  10. It isn't hypothetical to say XL scores if he doesn't drop the ball because he dropped it as he rolls untouched into the endzone. It is hypothetical to say we would have scored if not for the INT as that'd be several plays.
  11. I recognize they are two different grading systems, but where they diverge and where they line up is fascinating to me. This is one such case, where PFF has Bryce at "backup level" and QBR says that a team should win 85%+ of the time with his performance. Just interesting to see that.
  12. XL has a lot to like. He's having trouble with catching the ball at times. He's a rookie, tho, so... Hoping that'll improve.
  13. Anyone with premium know how they rated Bryce? I'm curious how PFF compares to ESPNs QBR because so far the two don't line up at all hahaha.
  14. You should try watching the game, you might figure out why so many of us are excited to see his week to week development.
