Stroud was my first choice but I still believe that Bryce will be good. As a rookie, he needs confidence and fans tearing him down won’t help. As a #2 pick Stroud is able to play free with zero pressure of being a #1 pick that the team traded multiple picks for. Not to mention a fanbase that has no patience left for growing pains of a rookie QB.

Was Brian St. Pierre not available?

Sprained ankles have specific diagnoses, grade level, recovery plans, etc. Did you hear any details like that?

more like "fleeced on every deal"

Reich when asked about the injury specifics "..it's in the ankle area". My dog ate my homework sounds more convincing.

I don't believe that, so let's see.

Reich just doesn't care about running the ball that much. In his press conference he said a 60/40 pass run mix was ideal

Exactly, did you see Swift last night?

Exactly. The lack of details on the injury and nebulous progress updates are a dead giveaway. Bryce is too nice to complain but they effectively benched him instead of letting him play through the struggles. The benching can’t be good for his confidence. If they wanted him to observe they shouldn’t have announced in July that he was the starting QB.

Well Andy is gettin praise for looking good against a weak Seahawks secondary. Let’s see if Bryce can do the same

I believe they’re 30th in the league against the pass. This has to be the game that Bryce plays and rebuilds some confidence. I am not buying the injury bs and how the media doesn’t question it is just embarrassing

Meanwhile Eagles OL

He also played against the weakest pass defense so far

Not sure about that. Bryce would excel more because he’s very cerebral, knows where to go with the ball. Gun slingers aren’t as good of a fit in McDaniel’s offense

No just naming a few that wouldn’t since you think Bryce is not that special

Ridder, Fields, Wilson…

Bryce with Dolphins weapons would be deadly

Yeah he was going to be our Deebo! What a joke

I don’t see much burst he seems to have better vision though

Strong argument, why not just scheme according to their strengths, look at the tape from last year and introduce the same concepts

And most of that was in the fourth quarter when Saints thought they could play bend don’t break and Jameis kept going 3 and out

This team can’t run the ball How did we go from putting up monster numbers with virtually the same offensive line and assistant coach. Is there something wrong with the scheme or is it the players not getting the push they need? No QB can compete in the NFL if you’re forced to be one dimensional.

That’s bs did you see his stats before Carr got hurt? He was in the dumpster and losing 17-0 but then Winston started doing 3 and outs. Any defense will eventually wear out

Can we put this into perspective? They played against one of the worst pass defenses in the NFL that plays a lot of zone and not man to man. That’s why you saw more open receivers. You don’t think Bryce would have hit most of them?
