For the first 6-7 weeks of the season, we’ve been subjected to the continual hot takes about what a trash QB Bryce is, how great CJ Stroud is playing, etc. But, ya’ know, sometimes reality gets in the way of the hot takes, and the game has to be played
In their first pro meeting, longtime-rivals Bryce Young and CJ Stroud went head-to-hea as starters...and Bryce lit up the Texans (for Carolina, anyway), while Stroud struggled against the woeful Panthers.
In doing so, the two renewed a frenemy status that goes all the way back to 8th grade.
