Has anyone gone from vaunted offensive genius to almost ready to wash out of the league faster?

Texans 0-4, one of the preseason favorites is looing very unlikely to make the playoffs now.

Never trust an Ohio State QB

Still very annoyed about W2.

Now, what was that about Bo Nix being good?

[cwood218]

Gruesome ankle injury for KC receiver.

[Tryptamine]

So, I think Bryce Young might be good. I have no idea why it took so long, but he sure looks the part now.

DET is on the downswing for sure.

Other than maybe the playoff game in January, that's easily the best I've ever seen him look. That sideline throw to McMillan on 3rd and 14 was Hall of Fame horsefeathers.

New play caller deserves a lot of credit, this looks like a completely different offense.

From where I was sitting, the game plan was to get quick plays off to avoid the Hutch pressure, and it worked like a charm. Young looks exceptional when running a quick offense, whereas when he drops back and lets plays develop, he doesn't seem to be able to see over the line and misses the timing of hitting his receivers. My Carolina friends have been out on Young since year one, but I'd bet they are starting to rethink his value now.

Dan Campbell looked like a man worrying about getting fired during last night's game.

Yes I think it’s time to consider the progress he has made. He could be the guy for them. I would never have pegged that a couple years ago.

I was impressed with Young as well, as was said above the key or what works best is the quick offense.  It seems to have a neutralizing effect on his lack of height.  It was also great to see him have a big game against another team, that team being the Lions made it even better.  Now, I'm under no delusions of Bears defense being good however, Young putting up big numbers maybe, helps in the thought the Bears aren't Cubs' bullpen bad on defense.

I think the Panthers picked up his fifth year option before the season

[gflore34]

Josh Allen is great, sometimes though, he takes some unnecessary risks, that was a very poor decision and throw at the end of the game.  Don't remember, maybe. down and distance required such a risk.

[PackLandVA]

Bryce Young had a pile of sh!t on offense his first few seasons.  The development of Chuba and getting TMac at WR1 are really big reasons for his progression.

That Coker dude isn't bad either, they've some decent TE's as well.

They only needed 3 to tie, so throwing into triple coverage was unnecessary risk

Bijan Robinson is a bad, bad man. And what looked like a potentially easy matchup for the Bears has turned into a much tougher game.

In addition, their defense is leading the league giving up only 48.3 rush yards a game. Perhaps that is exaggerated by who they have played, but still ...
