Both QB's have their flaws. Stroud (holds the ball too long), Richardson (accuracy on short to mid-range throws). But MAN! is this going to be fun to watch!

If this does turn into a good QB rivalry, the Texans and Colts have David Tepper to thank. Supposedly he was the main driver of the "Draft Bryce Young" bus. There were rumors that Reich was enamored with Richardson (Ballard and his RAS scores must have rubbed off on him), but Tepper told Reich that the Panthers were drafting Young and Reich quickly fell in line.
I know it is only one game in a new Carolina coaching regime, but here was the summary of Young's day on Sunday:

Young, who struggled badly as a rookie after being the first overall draft pick following the Panthers' monster trade to go up and get him, threw a bad interception on his first pass of the season. He threw a worse interception to start the second half, throwing well past an open Adam Thielen. The Saints turned that interception into a touchdown and a 37-3 lead. At that point, Young's line was horrific: 6 of 14, 50 yards, no touchdowns, two interceptions and a nearly impossible 13.1 passer rating.
Young padded his stats a bit after the game was completely out of hand, and the Saints rolled to a 47-10 win. Young finished 13-of-30 for 161 yards.
