Don't tease me with a good time.

Missed on probably one of the best QBs in the NFL. If he isn’t in a deep dark place, that means he doesn’t really care. And we know he does. He has to be depressed.

Stroud's first half of his first playoff game would be Bryce's best game of the season.

[CamWhoaaCam]

Can you imagine if this kid leads the Texans to the SB as a rookie?

 

Tepper probably on his yacht in the middle of the ocean watching this game thinking damn I screwed up.

Since comparisons are inevitable. My impressions are.

I'm VERY impressed with Stroud. But also VERY impressed by his playcaller. VERY impressed by his weapons (mostly singletary, Collins, and Schultz. Imagine them with Dell.) and VERY impressed by his OLINE. He's had two pressures all day against a good line. 

My premature conclusions are - Stroud is WAY better than Bryce, but his weapons are also WAY better, his playcaller is WAY better, and his Oline is WAY better.

A true #1 overall at work. 

[Bear Hands]

Those watching just to contrast to our circus are wasting their attention.  There's a GREAT football game being played.

That Stroud guy is pretty good, wish we had the chance to draft him

Stroud has proven he deals with the pocket breaking down much better than Bryce.  

Nonsense! Bryce is the only QB in NFL history that has faced insane Oline failure with NO options for running, a safety valve, a check down, or an audible.

[Monrowed]

If Bryce is not doing this next year by midseason, I think the writing will be on the wall and we’ll just have to admit our mistake and move on.

Wow Stroud is really good

He absolutely is and I take nothing away from him but Bobby Slowik's play design is just wonderful he's destroying Jim Schwartz D

True but those OL's aren't remoty comparable. The Texans did the intelligent thing and built an OL.

Yeah, but it’s a thousand different things. Texans OL wouldn’t look as good running our same predictable O.   Or if the QB wasn’t getting the ball when he was supposed to.  Bryce nor the play callers helped that OL this year.

Flacco is taking this opportunity to let a naysayer know. He's gonna come from behind in the second half and be dominant.
