I honestly feel that unlike David Carr and Deshaun Watson, CJ Stroud will be the first drafted QB in Texans franchise history to play for the team beyond 5 years.

What’s craziest about that TD throw to Schultz late in the game was it was CJ’s idea to have him run the double move. He knew exactly what the LB and S would do after seeing it twice and he convinced the coaches to run the play and score

[@morsumbra9692]

As a Panthers fan when panthers traded up to #1 all that could be talked about were the three QBs. AR looking like Cam 2.0. Bryce having elite anticipation. And Stroud having the typical QB form and good arm power. But everyone was like "Young is an elite processor. Stroud you may have to worry about. Just dont know being an ohio guy" Well... now we know. Now we definitely know.

[@gregdann8130]

As a Carolina Panther fan (who wanted CJ over Bryce) seeing Stroud play so well is insanely bitter sweet. Stroud seems to have everything the scouts were so high on Young about. Anticipation. Reading defenses. Manipulating defenses. Accuracy. I hope Young can turn it around but HE was the one who was supposed to be the sure thing. Good thing we didn't trade two first round picks for him. OH WAIT. Stroud's making our front office look foolish.

[@steveosborn7224]

Yeah dude when Carolina traded with Chicago I assumed CJ was the pick up until a week before the draft. I don’t think Bryce should have been taken in the first 2 rounds let alone number 1. This will be a decision that’ll get Reich fired. I can’t imagine trading all that capital for a. 5’8 QB when the following year the draft class is loaded with QB talent.

[@ChillRichard]

Be patient. It’s 6 games in and you’re already giving up on your QB only cause you see another do well?

[@MinuteMannn]

@@steveosborn7224 Bryce might not be off to a great start, but saying he shouldn't have been taken in the first 2 rounds is just straight up nonsense. Hating is one thing but if you watched any college football at all, you'd know Bryce had the best college career from this year's draft class and EVERYBODY agreed on that, even the ones who had Stroud as QB1 on their board. The only thing negative people had to say about Young was his size. Also, how about we stop making up numbers? Yes Bryce is small, but he's not 5'8. Couch GMs sure love spewing bullshit. At least get your facts straight.

[@choosecarefully408]

Don't be silly. Offering Matt Ruhle guaranteed $ then hiring Proven Failure Frank Reich as HC is what makes them look foolish. We can watch in excitement as Reich paces the sidelines looking for what's just wrong enough in his o-line schemes to tweak for the 2nd straight year at least because he sure isn't going to abandon what he;s convinced should work. Indy's o-line was better before & after him. Last season this o-line won _with_ Sam Darnold & without run-CMC. Then came Frank Reich. He gets the least out of his QBs.

[@kja6336]

I never understood Bryce young going high. Even before the offseason buzz. Thought he would be a 2nd round QB based off his tape, he has zero potential. Dont mean to doom your team, poor panthers, but even AR had the potential to be like cam or vick, who does Young play like? Johnny Manziel? Scramble for a wide open 10 yard pass, throw deep once or twice and let your wr win the 50/50 jump ball everytime because you’re in an elite offense. I mean you watch him play in college you start to realize he’s already arrived. He wasnt better than this in college

[@lazywallstreetnews7234]

It's like he answers the question, 'What if Drew Brees was tall?'... Every time I've watched him play he reminds me so much of Brees. Even the way he releases the ball, his arm motion, his legs, it all looks like Brees, but taller.

Demeco Ryan has transformed that Texans’ defense into a top ten defense as well. At least in the top fifteen. Stroud playing very good promising football

[@jlozano281]

I say top 15. My Texans have a ways to go but are going in the right direction.

[@t4d0W]

And Demeco isn't done yet. He knows the kind of pieces he needs to make the defense to excel with. He's fortunate enough to end up with strong secondary talent with the Texans so he's looking for help in the defensive trenches in the future.

[@ZacTexC]

His play calling on that last drive Sucked. I’d prefer just to line up and go after the QB

[@doublecrossedswine112]

Defense was good last year. Even though they were always on the field, most games were close.

[@jakewoodisgood1]

it is rare to see an offense on the rise at the same time the defense is on the rise. usually one is there and by the time the team gets the other side of the ball worked out now the prior side is getting worse. i'm sure you get what i mean, it was hard to explain that lol

[@Jordan.Vaughn]

Crazy that a #2 overall pick from Ohio State is doing so well and somehow not as many people are talking about him because of what Brock Purdy is doing. I’m a lifelong 49ers fan and HUGE Purdy supporter, but Stroud deserves just as much praise and airtime. What he’s doing is nuts.

[@kickthecat75]

Everyone is already talking about cj. He has broken a record and is putting more space on it, and is on par to break almost every rookie passing record.

[@Sakattack2023]

"supporter" what, did you donate to his campaign for governor, it's clownish how you're basically a parrot saying shit you've heard.

[@Mik3yLow]

Not when compared to Purdy though. The dude is Mr. Irrelevant. It was clear after last season that he was going to continue that dominance. He threw some beautiful passes to B. Ayuke that you don't see from most QB's. I didn't understand all the hype for Hurts and Burrow when this dude was clearly better on every level, under any pressure and on the biggest stages yet everyone had Burrow at #2 😂 BS, Mr. Irrelevant is the #2 QB of the league

[@AndyTN64]

Niners got a diamond in a rough with Purdy

[@johnbrowntheprophet]

The sports media are talking about C.J. Stroud. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@terry7907]

You rightfully highlight his anticipation and poise. However, a more complete answer to the question of why he is the runaway rookie of the year contender would also have addressed a) his accuracy, and b) the fact that he is accomplishing all this with an inexperienced receiving corps while missing FOUR starters on the O-Line.

[@t4d0W]

The receiver group may not be great but in comparison to other teams with 'bad' receiver groups, they still have traits that pressure the secondary. Collins is tall, has a nice catch radius and can routes well enough that if he hauls the catch down he's getting YAC (as he's one of the leaders in that category). Dell of course is the vertical speedster so as you saw in the video, if CJ knows he's gonna win he will find him downfield. The Panthers have it worse because none of their guys can separate OR have the hands (other than Thielen) to win in a mismatch.

[@Ghorl266]

he also has the arm strength to throw insane bullets and hes smart enough to know how fast to throw and where

[@Oklahoma-Dreaming]

That release looks impressive. I haven’t seen a number on him but I’m guessing he’s mid-0.3s. And he certainly has a very good arm as well. I’m thinking that people have underestimated Stroud’s arm numbers overall. (I just watched the beginning of his combine. He was clocked at 59 MPH - I think the average is 55 so Stroud has a very good arm. But ball speed and spiral are really only the two factors that matter and they will tell you how far a QB can throw. For comparisons Hurts and Dak I believe were clocked at 55 at their combines.)

[@whatsupcoolbrother]

Clearly the better qb prospect coming into league over Bryce young . One guy has an nfl body, one guy is severely undersized.

[@johnbrowntheprophet]

I kept telling everyone that C.J. Stroud was the most pro ready quarterback prospect in the draft. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@eriksports]

I do some scouting as a hobby and my friends know this and were asking me who is going to go first. I was telling everyone Stroud for like two months lol, could not believe a team would take a guy of Young's size first overall. Wild shit. They had similar tape too! Its not like Stroud's tape was chaotic and bad, he looked amazing!

[@RolandoGarcia-gp9fm]

What looks or makes this team very promising future is the coaches and the good communication everyone is playing with heart.

[@iambarryallen]

this is the diff between young and CJ. CJ is a true leader, as a rookie team captain the whole team believes in him and fights for him. Bryce teammates wont even help him up when he gets sacked, its sad his team dont believe in him, he seems very soft spoken and lacks charisma

[@Bsk8erzero]

If ya'll actually watched his Ohio State tape this was easy to see that he was the best QB prospect of his class. CJ Stroud even played better in big games (Rose Bowl & Peach Bowl). People saying that he's a better athlete now clearly didn't watch the Georgia game. Sometimes evaluators just need to trust what they see and not be persuaded by who is hyped to be the #1 guy.

[@thecasualreviewer2148]

Those new red uniforms. Sizzle!

[@Jsch23]

alex didnt mention this but strouds footwork and technique are elite too its honestly the best ive seen in awhile from any nfl QB. my question is what if anything are his weaknesses?

[@jakewoodisgood1]

at times he does not give his WRs enough time to break into their route. there has been some drops due to the WR turning and the ball is already at them, sometimes even when Stroud could have held on the ball just a tick longer. but that is a fine problem to live with when it is usually the polar opposite for most rookies

[@jameshollister8294]

Mobility only thats Really it.

[@bobsokoloski9559]

It's not just anticipation, on most of the plays he has a LB staring at him and he's not giving his intention away, that's 2nd order QBing. Look at the film and watch him staring at the LB, most young QBs get intercepted bcuz they get happy and give it away. The kid is special.

[@leont5096]

[@4dwyn]

Taking nothing away from the great analysis of yours, Stroud is getting it done. Ohio State QBs do play with anticipation, like the late Dwayne Haskins. But Stroud has the timing and accuracy to get the ball where it needs to be efficiently. I'm impressed.

[@landongray8687]

The reason he is so good is because unlike many other college qbs, he's humble and doesn't let his ego get in his way, and thats why he fits into the NFL so well because he wasn't immediately humbled like most other college qbs

[@TTSCAM]

What does fields have 2 to out this video

[@fbch32]

At 9:20 I think the design's intent is for the TE to be successful in that block. The thing I'm not sure of is if it was designed with a low block to occupy the defenders hands trying to avoid the block giving Stroud a lane to throw or if it is supposed to be standing up and trying to guide the defender back and past Stroud to clear that lane. In writing this, I think the thought process is to find a way to open up a lane that Stroud can throw through.

[@philipambattu7918]

What Kyle Shanahan is doing with his scheme and tree needs to be studied. Aside from McVay who’s already won a bowl, McDaniel has transformed the Dolphins into a powerhouse and Bobby Slowik who was the 49ers passing game coordinator has made it perfect for Stroud who has made the most of it.

[@t4d0W]

Scheme is scheme. Play calling goes beyond scheme which is also adapting to the defense and play sequencing. There are many guys from the OZ coaching tree who sadly aren't great with those skills I mentioned. Also talents help elevate schemes more to what they can be. Just look at the CMC when he got the Niners and how different their offense is from recent years. The ideal scenario/plan for the Texans offense year 1 was to sorta look like the 2018 Rams where Pierce was going to do the heavy lifting. Sadly that hasn't been the case since the O-line has been injured. Instead Stroud for 6 weeks has answered elevating the offense by himself.

Having that elite speed to be a vertical threat helps threaten the top so CJ can punish teams who don't respect the potential mismatch.

As an Ohio State fan.. I will admit, I thought he would have been better off if he returned for his senior year.

I think Fields has potential to do just as well as Stroud but he’s on a hot mess of a team and the Bears suck.. and their coaching sucks and they can’t build a consistent system built to highlight Fields strengths. Fields definitely needed to come back for his last year at OSU though. Hopefully the Texans don’t do Stroud dirty like the Bears have let Fields down.

Carolina's kicking themselves right about.....5 weeks ago

[@LEMATTOFFICIAL]

Say what you want about the Texans, but they know how to pick a qb

I’m a ball player not an test taker - Cj Goat Stroud

[@Marco-uw4px]

Hes just not a complete freak of nature but he has a great build for quarterback

[@Qixxed]

If he can torch the saints defense then that will prove himself

[@fadercreek]

watches film for one minute *turns on madden*

[@doublecrossedswine112]

I was upset when we gave up so much draft capital for a weak side DE. But ya know, when you hit big on the QB pick, it almost fixes everything.

[@jakewoodisgood1]

5th best block win rate and 4th most QB hurries last i checked. he will be deadly when he learns how to close on those sacks

[@lookout97]

The front office of the Carolina Panthers should be fired. Bryce Young did not have the size or arm strength to warrant a #1 pick, especially after giving up so much future draft capital to move up.

I heard on the Rich Eisen show the Miami Dolphins RB had it wrapped up

[@08Derrock]

RB position is SIGNIFICANTLY easier, especially in the dolphins system, over the QB position.

He’s also a self proclaimed Michigan guy, and admits his bias against CJ in one of his most recent videos about the rookie QB’s.

[@dickriggles942]

The QB position is overpowered and needs to be nerfed. When a team can only win if it has a once in a generation QB, that's not good for the game. The NBA kind of does this too to hurt team ball because it's not good for ratings.

I called it. Everybody was on BY’s d***. CJ looked clean
