Bryce outplayed Stroud today

This will be a debate their entire careers.  Today Young gets the "W".  Stroud clearly shows he can play in this league.  I actually wanted Richardson deep down but knew it was either Stroud or Young.   We got Young and he earned his first game winning drive.  He said it in the post-game news conference.  "It's hard to win in this league".  Bottom line we scored more points than they did.  

Stroud's first drive had some amazing throws and some incredible catches against some solid defense.  The guy deserves credit for his accuracy on that drive.  

Our defense, though depleted, played a pretty good game and deserves some credit as well as Young.

It's one win but as they say, you go into each week 0-0.  Hopefully, we have a good game against Indy next week. 

The only thing about Young that drives me crazy is that, because of his small stature, he doesn't escape when defenses get their hands on him.  His pocket presence is pretty good but damn if a defender gets his hands on him he's not going to break away.  It is what it is and we'll just have to hope our O-Line improves and gives him better lanes to escape, if necessary.

Imagine the reverse - Bryce throws for under 150 yards, 3 batted passes against the 31st-ranked defense missing two starters in the secondary while Stroud gets sacked six times and still orchestrates a Game Winning Drive. 

The moral of the story is to allow rookie QBs to develop and take their lumps. It's encouraging after the bye to see Bryce have his best game so far and consecutive games without an INT or Fumble.

This is a sobering thread to revisit.

So many thought the Texans win was a sign of things to come and Bryce Young had arrived. Others were baffled over the level of rejoicing over 15 points scored and still concerned going forward.

Life comes at you fast folks.

Odd time to bump considering CJ's stats last game.

What's your point?

CJ Stroud's most recent game has been Bryce Young every week 9 times out of ten.

CJ Stroud is:

2nd in passing yards

2nd in passing yards per game

3rd in yards per attempt

5th in passer rating

20 touchdowns to 5 interceptions

Bryce Young is

25th in passing yards

34th and barely ahead of Kenny Pickett in passing yards per game

Dead last in yards per attempt

32nd in passer rating and .05 higher than Daniel Jones who's been shown up by undrafted rookie Tommy DeVito.

9 touchdowns to 10 interceptions.

But sure. Let's talk about Stroud's bad game.

    • This is why it's probably going to be hard to trade down. This draft is fairly light on top tier talent but pretty deep in talent of that next tier down. I don't think there's going to be a lot of teams clamoring to move up and numerous teams might be entertaining moving down. Not a good market to trade down if that's the case. 
    • And if they can't find a reasonable trade down (I think we would need a 2nd rounder this year bare minimum to make any trade down worth it). I would definitely expect Dan to trade UP for an EDGE or LB in the top half of R2. Just makes too much sense. We also have a plethora of mid round picks to use as ammo. 
    • I don't mean to make this a mock draft thread particularly,  but every time I do a mock I have been investigating the talent that goes off the board between picks 8 and our low 2nd rounder pick 57. There is a gargantuan amount of talent still left on the board in the top half of the 2nd round every time I do one. Losing our original 2nd round pick to the Bears as the last pick of the Bryce trade stings badly .  I'm particularly looking at elite players like Carson Schwesinger (LB), Luther Burden (WR), Matthew Golden (WR), Maxwell Hairston (CB) , Nick Scourton , Landon Jackson, Donavan Ezeraku (all DEs/OLBs) . The sweet spot in this draft really feels like pick 15 to 40 - ish. This is why the Bears should be making bank with this draft. I don't know how realistic a trade down is from 8, but if we could pick up any teams higher 2nd rounder and still grab their 1st? We'd be cooking with gas man.  Say for example we get Tet McMillan at pick 8, if you wait all the way to 57 you stand the chance of not getting any impact pass rushers in this draft. And I don't think this team can afford that.  I'd personally love for them to take a break from drafting wrs in R1 or R2 (i think we've taken one in the top 2 rounds in the majority of the past few years), and stick to repairing the nfls worse defense in history (in terms of total points against iirc, or was it yards? Also included my most recent mock as an example . Don't put too much into the  late round selections lol
