CJ Stroud is a throwback superstar

[@Cianaf]

The NFL copyright struck this video so I had to cut 15 seconds out from the end, that's why the last 30 seconds or so of the video might not make sense anymore.

[@LookB4ULeap]

Fantástico on the analysis Cian. Coleridge Bernard Stroud the 4th is special because of his brain, and that’s what you have highlighted here. Of course his accuracy is sensational, and he has a cannon on his right arm - he threw the ball from his own 20 to the Indianapolis 20 (60 yards in the air !!! Whew) on the 1st offensive play v the Colts. He led the NFL in yards per game @ 276 ypg in his rookie campaign, and Td/int ratio. Tomas Brady and Joseph Montana did also in their careers, but not as a rookie. I’m grabbing this dudes merch, I think he’s a legend in the making. You are right, we need gunslinger’s like this kid. I have a sneaky feeling this team will play in London next year and take the excitement around him to a global audience. Yes, we love CJ7, he’s revitalized our team and I would love to see him on world stage for all to appreciate.

[@TheNando1911]

Who were you comparing his arm talent to? The video cuts off but kinda sounds like you’re about to say Trevor Lawrence. If so among QBs where do you see Stroud ranking in terms of arm talent around the NFL?

[@blackitachi6935]

And that's exactly why I wanted to draft him. You can't replace that type of precision and accuracy. It's elite, generational and game changing. Combine that with his aggressive mindset, it's a match made for HoF QB play.

[@viking0828]

yeah i think the only thing people thought he was going to be bad at was decision making but it looks like thats one of his best traits lmao

[@saydaddy91]

Not gonna lie it’s low key embarrassing as an American knowing that a guy from across the pond understands gridiron football much better than I ever will. Fantastic work man keep it up

[@1reefshark]

What I like most is this ability to read defenses is ultimately sustainable success, he isn’t relying on like a trick or some special play calling that a defense can easily adapt too. This is promising for his ability to play even better in years to come

Today I learned: Every receiver is open if you throw it well enough.

Stroud has been historic. Three QBs in the last 50 seasons have led the NFL in Pass YPG and Pass TD/INT ratio in a single year 1989 Joe Montana, 2007 Tom Brady, 2023 C.J. Stroud - as per @NFLonCBS

[@quigonkenny]

Two of those QBs won the MVP in those years...

[@morescoopsmorepoops]

STROUD FOR MVP

[@01cton]

I will say that the 2007 Tom Brady year is not comparable, as Tom threw 50 tds that season, over double cj’s

[@DianaRussia531]

@@01cton ONLY 3 QB's to lead the league in yardage and TD/INT in the history of the NFL. It is what it is

[@coryg4665]

Not comparable? CJ is a rookie. To be on this list as a rookie is a bit wild.@@01cton

[@picklerix6162]

Stroud has accuracy but he also has great control of the velocity and angle of the ball that creates a more catchable ball for the receiver and allows the ball to drop in between coverages. If you watch the TD pass to Brevin Jordan in the Cleveland game, Stroud floats the ball over a defender’s reach and softly lands in Jordan’s hands. I’ve seen quarterbacks zing the ball in situations like that and the ball is often knocked down by the defender, intercepted, or thrown high and hard and bounces off of the receiver’s hands.

[@Citschris]

Yea he makes the ball really ez for his receivers to catch

[@Youmybun]

I have watch football a long time Aaron Rogers was the best at ball placement for easy catches against tough coverage's that I have ever seen.c.j is him.

[@davidcook7847]

First time on your channel. I have watched a LOT of CJ film breakdown including patreon with the QB school. What you just showed is fantastic! This is some of the best film analysis with easy to understand examples I have seen. Thank you!

[@omarreid7222]

I never been more right about a guy. He's so frickin good man

[@OkagaCalifornia]

My favorite thing about him is that he's so decisive with his throws. He does an incredible job of protecting the ball but he's also ballsy in some of these throws. He's had a few throws this season that look like they could be intercepted, but Stroud ends up putting it only where his receiver can catch it. No matter what, I think that that level of decision making is going to mean he's going to be successful all throughout his career.

[@ericparker163]

Indeed, he threw it into triple coverage and completed it.......ummm whattt????? It's unreal.

[@joeyAPB]

I love how the offense calls plays to help everyone on that team most coaches don't strategize around the players in the building anymore imo but i def Put my stroud jersey on while watching this

[@jeffloucks98]

Glad Slowick isn't leaving. Year two is a tougher schedule, but we'll be better. Gonna be another interesting season!

[@TankAssTanner]

Stats aside, eye test its nuts how poised he is. He looks more comfortable in the pocket than most top veteran QBs. Its like watching Tom Brady pick apart defenses which is crazy for a rookie.

[@ericparker163]

I can only laugh when I see talk of a sophomore slump. Not that guy, not now not ever. He's too cool back there to ever stink the place up. Astute observation 🍺

CJ is already top 10. 11:10 shows he’s elite

[@bagtea]

i think only Lamar, Rodgers, Mahomes, Allen, Stafford and Burrow are better than him. He is in the same level as Herbert, Goff, Love, Dak and better than Purdy, Hurts, TLaw. When it comes to playmaking, he is gonna be as elite as Mahomes, Rodgers and Burrow are in a season or two

[@Fatpigkenny]

I would take AA off now (until he can prove it again). Love not in the convo yet. Hurts is tier 3 imo

[@TankAssTanner]

Honestly I think he's tail end top 5 this season already.

[@Fatpigkenny]

I would rank Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, Burrow top 4. 5th is between Herbert Stafford and CJ. Herbert needs to take on some responsibility for why his team can’t win. So yea CJ is top 5 ish

[@e2rqey]

I realized CJ Stroud was something special pretty early into the season. It was clear he was no normal rookie. That's why it was absolutely baffling to me that the Browns tried to play him like he was a normal rookie when they faced him in the playoffs. The showed him a bunch of fairly standard defensive looks and CJ Stroud absolutely tore them up. That being said, teams are definitely going to take him seruously this season. I can't wait to see how he imrpoves/evolves his game..

Brock Purdy lead the NFL in deep and intermediate passing efficiency and is quite the gunslinger. None of you people call him a gunslinger even though he's the NFL's best gunslinger. You just call him a 'system product.' Yet he leads the NFL in Air Yards per attempt (9.9) by 1.2 yards/attempt over his nearest competitor -- CJ Stroud. Yeah, Purdy is the Master, not Stroud. But you can't handle the fact he was drafted 262 and Stroud was 2nd. Ya'll need to stop with the draft-selection bias and watch the tape.
