TOP TEN 2023 NFL GAMES - Young vs Stroud

Bryce Young and CJ Stroud have never faced each other on the football field in a game between their teams.  Until this year.  The NFL has elected to bring the Texans to Carolina during the 2023 season.


Top 10 games of the 2023 NFL season: Bengals-Chiefs, Cowboys-49ers among tantalizing matchups


Thank you, 2023 NFL Draft, for making this into a must-see event. The Panthers and Texans might not find themselves among the elite Super Bowl contenders this season, but because they each selected their quarterbacks of the future (Bryce Young for Carolina and C.J. Stroud for Houston) with the top two overall picks in April, they're all but guaranteed a large audience when they face each other. Alabama's Young and Ohio State's Stroud watched their teammates battle in the 2021 College Football Playoff National Championship, but the two QBs never got to square off directly in college. The closest they've had to a true showdown came off the field, in the 2021 Heisman Trophy voting, which Young won by a significant margin. Finally, we'll get our first chance to see who can lead their team to victory over the other.

Should be an interesting game. Of course, no scheduling information yet, so impossible to tell anything about this game. If it's later in the year, it could be a good one. If it's early, it could be a real mess. So with developmental QBs (YES... Both of them..) anything could happen. One or both of them might not even play.....

¿Quien Sabe?

Yeah, I was thinking along the same lines and had hoped we at least knew which half of the season it would be. I'm hoping later so there is a better chance of both quarterbacks being on the active roster.

Yep.... Just have to wait for the schedules to be announced.
