Stroud is making all these throws in tight windows, these receivers are not getting open like people say. He is putting the ball only where they get it.  More importanty he is getting the ball out quickly when needed. 

Also, put me down as someone who said i would take him over lawrence and i meant it. That guy aint showed me enough yet. 

Stroud was always my favorite.  He’s far more athletically gifted that Young and it’s not close.  That being said, BY is our QB and I’m hoping he turns out to be an all pro

How the fk is he wearing a hoodie in Miami

You get used to the climate where you live - you see guys in LA wearing hoodies in the height of summer too.

He's not accurate enough - it was all over his tape in College and has carried over to the NFL.

It's only a minor thing - he gets the ball where it needs to be (or at least in the 'area code'), but the elite QBs put it on the correct shoulder 9 times out of 10. Lawrence doesn't. 

Yeah, it makes a huge difference in YAC.

Maybe the Saints are just that good.  

Still hard to say if Love is a legit QB but Saints do look good

Lawrence seems like he's on a Derek Carr type trajectory. Good QB. Legit starter. But might max out as a borderline top 10 type of guy. Definitely not what was expected out of him as a prospect.

Ya that’s the exact feel I get.

Washington's OL is awful.

Same. I wanted Stroud then Richardson than Bryce. However, he is our guy and I just want him to succeed. It just hasn't been easy to support through two weeks. Every excuse you can have for him you can look around the league and see others doing what he isn't. Even other rookies with defensive minded head coaches and a backup offensive line and no run game.

I mean LA proper is straight up like 70-80 degrees no matter what though. Miami is burning alive during the summer.

Another TD and the Saints are blowing this thing open.

Considering we could have beaten this team, not bad for a squad quarterbacked by a middle schooler and Great Value John Fox

I don't think he is. He was like 55% completions against the Bears and similar against the Falcons. Here he has been worse than that. Touchdowns are flukey and I don't think against the Bears he had one that wasn't wide open.

Carr hurt.  Doesn’t look good.

[Varking]

Carr is down
