  • “Teams are blitzing far less vs Bryce and are still racking up tons of sacks because the line isn’t holding up.”

    What do you mean teams are blitzing far more against Stroud? Stroud has faced blitzes only 12 more times than Young, and that’s likely because Stroud has played one more game than Young, who missed one game due to injury. If you divide the blitz numbers by the total games played, on average Stroud has faced blitz 8.8 times per game, against Young’s 8.4 per game. The difference is tiny, so your entire argument falls flat on its face.


  • Am I reading this correctly? I see Young and Stroud have an identical amount of time in the pocket (PktTime of 2.5 seconds for both). Stroud was blitzed, hurried, and hit more frequently than Young, but he has taken less sacks and has performed far better than Young.

    All this tells me is that our offensive line isn’t as bad as many are making them out to be, and that Young holds onto the ball for too long, resulting in more sacks. So How does this prove that it’s not all on Young?

    I know, you probably blame our receivers for not creating enough separation. I call that a load of crap. The receivers were NFL-open plenty of times, but Young was looking for Alabama-open, which he will very rarely get in the NFL. Young has got to process faster, let the ball go faster, and improve his ball placement. You can’t blame it all on the receivers.







  • Scott Fitterer decided he wanted Young because he looked so poised around the dinner table.

    “You feel the presence of the player, just like the command that they have,” Fitterer said. “As he’s sitting there at dinner, he was so poised and you’re like, ‘OK, if I put this guy in a huddle,’ if Frank and I saying, ‘This is the guy, we’re putting him in the huddle, game’s on the line.’ Bryce is the guy we want our players looking at, knowing this is the guy that can get it done for us. We can win with this guy. And I think that’s kind of where that social part overlaps in the football side when you get to know the person and not just the player.”

    Where does David Tepper find these bozos? Or was Fitterer a Nicole Tepper hire?
