Horn looks pissed

lol

Bryce's stats look better than his play... What is that, 4 completions after the first drive, for ~40 yards?

Full team look terrible. At least the offense isn't turning it over - but when special teams is giving up 80+ yard returns repeatedly.....

This half? He does not, lol.

Our first players down appear to bite HARD on some slight moves

he is coaching like someone that doesn't trust a QB not to turn it over. Last time he called a pass on third and long, Bryce narrowly missed throwing an int

you're totally right. If only everything else was going right around him, he could win a game with 150 yards passing.

Ahahaha even the coach has given up on Bryce. At least we've still got fans to prop him up

It's not like we have a promising young player behind him or something

Bryce is about to have them right where he wants them - down by 3 scores in the first half!

the entire team is sucking, INCLUDING Bryce.

Dowdle has some good moves but I don't think he's as strong an every down back, but a better pass catcher

If it's true the QB audibled into it you can't blame canales

There are tons of videos of analysts etc talking about how Bryce's footwork needs significant improvement (and it is pointed to as one reason why he looks weaker armed than he really is)

This was my reading on the situation, too. Thielen was happy to be here. But, if he can partially help his current team (trade value), and return home for his last hurrah, why not? I did not feel like he forced his way out of here last minute...

There was a time where 2024 looked promising, too. The brief period where XL looked like he could be salvaged, Brooks was back from injury and looking decent, JT was vaulting defenders...

Actually the first post that seems to have been negative was about the Texans dropping to 0-4. For once none of us negative nancies about Bryce initially derailed the thread. Then things went into the predictable comparison of only the last half season of games for both QBs...

Someone randomly brought up how Bryce was better than CJ lol

Absolutely this. And often the "great" #2 is only mediocre elsewhere. It's worth noting a good #1 also elevates those players. And imo TMac drawing coverage is going to have that effect.

I think this is true. He is still showing flashes, but his consistency is shot imo. I hope they get him OL help.

Youth feels like the future for us on D for sure. Well, and on offense. But at least we have David Moore making an entire side of the field unusable on offense.

Pretty much every fan of Stroud and the Panthers acknowledges his trajectory has been down for a bit. Despite this, we have to massively subset his career and ignore HIS accomplishments for the comparison to be even roughly equal between he and Bryce. That's how much better his career has been to date. We don't yet know for sure how his career will end but for any of you digging him I'd ask this: Would you rather have his accomplishments to date or Bryce's?
