Young vs first the round QBs

[CRA]

CJ Stroud: 63% comp, 242 pass yards, 20 rush, 1 FUM vs Ravens D.

A. Rich: 64% comp, 223 pass yards, 40 rush, 2 TDs, 1 INT vs Jags D

Young:  52% comp, 146 pass yards, 17 rush, 1 TD, 2 INTs vs Falcons D

All the rookies finished the day with a L but that’s to be expected. I clearly I think Bryce Young is the best passer of all the rookie QBs.   So, I think that’s is something this org should at least acknowledge.  The other 2 orgs did a better job setting their rookie QB up for some success in their debut.   I think those stats/productions are largely more about everyone and everything else around the QB.  Front office, coaching and talent. 

* hard to gauge the quality of opponent this early.  You would assume Stroud might have had the toughest challenge.

If Jessie Bates didn’t exist Bryce would have had a clean opener.

[Jmac]

He is going to have to prove it. Everything is just talk untill he does it in the NFL.

I dont think he's the best passer.  He was in college.  Pros is different, and I maintain that AR was better built for success as a pro, and I'm not just talking about because of stature.

It's not coincidence BY had the worst comp pct out of those guys, and it wasn't close.  He missed a ton of throws that were open and he also bailed on a lot of plays way earlier than he had to.  For a "super processor" he sure looked overwhelmed by what he was processing.  AR doesn't look like that, AT ALL.  I have a feeling that BY is about as close to a finished product as any of them are and his floor is actually lower than what was believed, while simultaneously having the lowest ceiling out of all of them as well.  It's not coaching...  it think we just made the wrong pick and it's why I didn't want him even before the college season was sover last year.

I can’t really support that the Colts or Texans have supported their QBs more than we have when you are talking talent, coaching staffs, etc. 

[CPantherKing]

Is it fair to measure them against 2nd year QBs who didn't get to start until the end of last season?

Brock Purdy, Desmond Ridder and Sam Howell?

[Proudiddy]

And I was also thinking about this - look st ATLs roster and tell me you think that is a more complete roster than ours.  It's not.

There's this fallacy that our receivers don't get open, but they were open A LOT, and Bryce missed them.  The only proven legit threat the Falcons had was Pitts, the other guys have a lot of potential but aren't game changers.  And yet, we got beat by a team QBd by fuging Desmond Ridder.  He beat the #1 overall pick this year.  It wasn't coaching.  Bryce didn't have a lesser supporting cast.  Bryce just played like poo.  And for the most part, our team didn't look much different than Rhule's teams did.

They all had some good and more bad plays....but AR looked the best for sure against an upper tier team.  Young played the worst team and played the worst.

well, Young’s debut was noticeably less productive and efficient than theirs…. and likely had the easiest matchup and viewed as the most pro ready.

so if it’s not the coaching and talent around them players…what would you put the pretty stark difference most on?

Wait. AR whom some certain folks here would have had you believe couldn't hit the broad side of a barn had a higher completion percentage than Young? Well that's interesting.

I think Richardson and Stroud have higher ceilings than Young 

But entering the league? I think Bryce is the best passer today.  I’m not talking arm talent.  Largely think he was just ahead of them upstairs.

I knew it would only take one loss for this place to declare AR a future HOFer.

And AR who some said was the prototype big body couldn’t even make it through 1 NFL game without getting injured while the kid everyone panicked would get broken, did

Bryce missed on some throws that would have definitely have helped. AR extended a bunch of plays that lead to some completions. Bryce looked like he had predetermined a few of his throws were going to a specific guy regardless of coverage once he counted to three in his head and one of them lead to an easy interception. I think he just had a few lapses in game one of his rookie year.
