Are you gonna call Coach Cowher a retard too. Even he and others acknowledged that Stroud was only good during the second half. He took off not quite near the beginning of the third quarter. Of course the defense was making it a lot easier for him, but like I said, concentrate on that half of football. That's your best bet, because Stroud did not play great this season, or even good as the season went on. Bryce was certainly better later in the season. Deal with it!

We know the situations, including stability, chemistry, coaching, and even wide receiving corps despite injuries. So of course the stats are going to go Stroud's way. That's to be expected. You can't even really compare the two. But what I will say is that if you look at just sheer progress the second half of 2024, the advantage is not so black and white, and that's why advanced metrics have to be analyzed a little more than just basic production. It's also why percentage-based stats are pretty important to study as well. As for total QBR, which some experts consider the best QB measurement, I'm fairly certain Bryce was ranked higher than Stroud, notwithstanding such a dramatic season, and it also speaks to much better play during the second half of the season. https://broncoswire.usatoday.com/2025/01/07/all-32-nfl-quarterbacks-including-bo-nix-ranked-by-total-qbr-in-2024/

I'm wasting time and missing the game debating with y'all.

Well, he was decidedly pedestrian this past season. Why is it so hard to admit?

He's in a shitty division. Every QB and O-line has to deal with injuries. "Oh, we made the wrong pick, blah blah blah)."

Well, I haven't exactly seen any other rookie or sophomore QBs do that either.

How did he play the regular season? I see you're still not discussing that. You know why? Because it doesn't meet your slowly dying narrative.

It makes zero sense that Panthers fans would have a grudge against Stroud. It makes more sense that some of us Panthers fans are tired of hearing about how great he is , or how much of a better QB he is when discussing Bryce.

No grudge at all. I just find it weird that people are always at-the-ready to praise Stroud, and for them praising Bryce is like pulling teeth, at many times in the same breath. I was as skeptical of Bryce as anyone after awhile (and still have some skepticism), but you don't basically always here me comparing Bryce to Stroud negatively.

Am I? You're welcome to your opinion.

That's not even honest.

That's the perfect post, and honestly it's the reason why I started trolling. In my opinion, which is not everyone's opinion to be sure, there is way too much appreciation for Stroud in the Huddle, and still not enough for Bryce, which is simply distasteful considering their play in 2024.

So, who what team was worse? Which losing QB was substantially worse? Which game was close? Which game was not? Out of all of the four QBs who played in those two games, which QB was the best? False equivalents don't quite do the trick, and are not as logical as you may pretend.

Gimme that!

Damn Skippy!

I was wrong. We've already been through that. You're sounding like a broken record at this point. We all know that everyone here has been wrong before, including you.

If y'all can't see how bad the Chargers were tonight, I can't help you. And yes, he is lucky he plays for the Texans and not the Panthers. Keep "lucky" within context, and I never said anything about a "fluke play." When they get throttled next week, remember everything you've said.

Dude, he's lucky he's on the Texans and not the Panthers.

I added that. What did I say before what you bolded? You're doing exactly what I said.

I notice that all you talk about is this game, and haven't mentioned the regular season not once. Stroud has not been great this season, deal with it. Hollow playoff victory means absolutely NOTHING. Babble babble babble.

If this type of QB play is what you want in a playoff game, then become a Houston fan.

You're right, but Herbert has been shaky to bad.

Say what you want, dude. Looks like I was wrong about the winner of this game. Who cares? Stroud has still not played well this year, plain and simple. Deal with it! Houston's defense is why they're winning tonight.

Yep, but I'll never tell.
