Houston Texans general manager Nick Caserio watched a ton of Bryce Young prior to the draft. Where does he stand on the No. 1 pick now that Houston has to face him?
In a flashback to 2015, when Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston and Tennessee Titans passer Marcus Mariota faced off in Week 1 after being selected first and second overall that April, Sunday will see a similar stage set.
The Carolina Panthers made quarterback Bryce Young the No. 1 pick mere months ago. Minutes later, the Houston Texans chose C.J. Stroud to be their franchise quarterback. In Week 8, they’ll face off against each other, acting as a measuring stick for their rookie-year performances.Carolina fans may still feel uncertain about their team’s future, but Houston is all in, and rightfully so. The Texans are 3-3 and.
We’ll never really know if Young would have been Houston’s pick had Stroud gone first, but perhaps no one is more qualified to speak on the two than Texans general manager Nick Caserio.“Bryce is a really instinctive player,” Caserio said. “He has a good understanding of space and where to go with the football, and his ability to really maneuver within the pocket is probably a bit underrated. He’s accurate, he’s anticipatory.
It’s strong praise for Young, who has shown flashes but by many accounts seems overwhelmed. His poise is part of what earned Carolina’s confidence, and he hasn’t exactly been put in a position to succeed.. Young ranks 31st and 29th, respectively, in the two advanced metrics Stroud has excelled in. Across five games, he has thrown six touchdowns to four interceptions and is averaging fewer than 200 yards per game. His unimposing frame is showing up and creating durability concerns, too.
Houston’s pass rush is yet to get rolling, but Carolina’s offensive line isn’t very impressive. A strong outing from No. 3 pick (Stroud has separated himself enough from the rest of the rookie pack to avoid the narrative consequences that would come with a loss, but a big day from Young could add intrigue not only to Sunday’s game -- but the rest of the Panthers’ season, too. Caserio’s words make it feel like a growing possibility.
