[@r.williamcomm7693]

He’s amazing so far & he’s a good human being. There will be DCs who dig into the film & like every QB that’s when things get tougher. I believe he will overcome because at this point he reminds me of when Dan Marino got his starts as a rookie. Different styles but the competitive fire burning in both & the kindred spirit with receivers. This kid is a leader who wants to win & is willing to do whatever it takes to get better. Happy for Texas fans even at the expense of my Steelers.

[@MordecaiFromRegularShow]

Honestly I'm more amazed with his off field performance ive grown to love this guy so much so fast not only is he a surgeon with the ball he's a master with his words this man gave the best speech ever talking about how we haven't won since 2021 and how houston Gans deserve the happiness of wearing that texans gear with pride and how he's gonna work his hardest day in and day out to make sure we get that ❤

@@Bigballin713 Does anyone, really? Baker Mayfield was drafted before Lamar Jackson. The Bears traded up for Mitch Trubisky. Look who the Jags drafted *instead of* Aiden Hutchinson. Pre-season _NO ONE_ "knew" Stroud was definitely better than Young. Now everyone behaves as if they did know. As for Smith, people don't come to him for facts. They come to him because listening to people react to BS is fun. There's a reason why The National Enquirer out-sold real news sources over the years & the Kardashians became stars.

[@H-Town_83]

Like CJ said "I'm not a test taker, I'm a football player and my tape speaks for itself."

[@quigonkenny]

That Nico Collins TD pass is maybe the most beautiful pass I've ever seen in my life. Timing, location, speed, you _can not_ throw that pass any better. And on the Collins hook where CJ looks off the DB, if the DB didn't bite, he's got the slot receiver on the other side coming _wide_ open (Woods or Dell, can't tell if it's a #2 or a #3 on the jersey). The plays Slowik is giving this offense are a big part of their success.

[@elilennon6834]

Honestly go look at his throw to jsn in the rose bowl vs Utah that’s a pass I don’t think I’ve even seen on Sunday

[@ericparker163]

Texans playing as a team on both sides of the ball. Everything coming together at once. Kudos to absolutely everyone.

[@jasonlovell651]

As a colts fan I've been super impressed with Stroud, AFC south is going to be exciting to watch again

[@elijamison4838]

I swear his form is one of the cleanest I ever seen, not many qbs throws look the same as they did in college. Only difference is instead of marv it’s nico

[@duanecarter7954]

The 1st time I saw him throw at TOSU, I thought to myself this guy might have the prettiest throwing motion I've ever seen and that's not hyperbole.

[@davidwillis8623]

He has more of a Matt Ryan Release, Constant and Consistent.

[@ATL64BR33ZY]

Stroud is THAT GUY 💯

[@thedudegrowzzz]

New to the channel. Look man. CJ Stroud is special. I've been watching football and the The Texans since Schaub and Foster came in. This team looks like a real competitor and there's still alot of room for improvement. I personally thought this would be a 2 to 3 year project but man this team might be surprising this year. WITH NO OLINE and barely running up until last week!!!!!! Its absolutely insane. Tank and metchie are a nice compliment but Nico is a beast right now for stroud. Same with pierce and singeltary. You swap those guys out and its a major shift in speed and mometum for the defense. Texans fans are happy to watch football again on Sundays. They need to involve Schultz more but overall this is a great football to watch not just cause i'm a Texans fan but its really impressive to see this team make a turn around so fast. Go Texans!

[@virtualod4400]

Texans tried to involve Schultz, but he kept dropping key passes. I think cj is subconsciously not throwing his way based on this. But it'll come.

[@chrisanders713]

Shultz is always there if CJ needs him. They look like they have finally figured out eachother timing. Especially Dalton coming from a worse QB in Dak to a better QB in CJ who is a quicker decision maker.

[@kennethoneal9938]

[@thedudegrowzzz]

Not gonna lie I thought Jordan was done for but be honest including davis mills. Absolutely no scheme or coach to help with improvement in back to back seasons. Setup for failure. This team did a full 180 turn and set themselves up for future success. Greenard and Anderson are an awesome duo on the dline and pitre has been an elite player in my eyes

i told people Nico Collins Moves like Andre Johnson back in 2005-2006 Seasons

[@JackNadeau]

I honestly didn’t pay much attention to Nico Collins the last 2 years as I figured he’d just be a placeholder until they got their rebuild off the ground. It’s hard to flash with Davis Mills as your QB 😂 I’m just glad he’s getting a legit opportunity and proving he can ball. The best part? Stroud looks amazing and he’s only a rookie going to keep lifting the whole offense up 📈

It’s a bit of both, he’s not a complete receiver yet, but a good contested catch guy, so you see the wow plays and think he’s better than he is. That said, the offense is terrible… depends what you can get for him. He can be good, but not sure i see that happening with Kenny picket
