    If we have invested that much in the Oline and they’re still terrible, we ****ed up

    He also won't be running for his life when the starters are playing.

    If he doesn’t get rid of the ball he still might be

    Stroud had a dear in the headlights look in the first quarter. Maybe he looks like that all the time (See Donovan Mitchell).

    Good
    Saw good mobility, he's definitely no stiff like Goff or Matt Ryan
    Nice throw on the move rolling to his left

    Bad
    Stared down someone leading to the pick
    Seemed to hold the ball a little long

    Stop it. He didn’t look mobile. He moves like a young Matt Ryan. He can take what is there but can’t make anything happen

    Are you already giving up on the season?

    I think mostly it was an indicator on his ability under pressure. Tonight, he was under pressure as soon as the ball was snapped, nearly every play.

    That won't happen in the real games.

    But yes, the pressure made him panic and hold the ball. Can't have that.

    There were a few plays he caused the pressure by holding it. Hopefully not thinking about the pressure

    No.. because I felt the Vegas odds showing us as the 2nd worst team in the NFL were accurate.

    Pretty much what I expected. Bad offense and improved defense.

    I wasn't drooling over training camp throws and highlights like many around here.

    I’m still pissed Stroud got so few reps, and we gotta watch Davis Mills for majority of the game. Has Demeco declared Stroud the starter for the season or is this still a QB competition?

    Let's make sure you're not writing him off after a couple series with a third rate o line, either.
