CJ Stroud looking like the real deal.

[toffee]

This rookie hasn't suffered any INT yet, he is making his teammates play better too.

Agreed hes looked stellar. No clue how Young went ahead of him.

S2 tests, Young was 97 or 98, Stroud was 17 or 18.

Yeah, Stroud is not only the better passer, he has the ideal size too. Carolina traded all those picks for the wrong guy, IMO.

For Stroud's sake, I hope the Texans have learned their lesson from the B.O.B days, and actually help him out by surrounding him with good O-linemen and good receivers.

Mike Holmgren said on KJR it was an ownership decision as Frank Reich and the offensive coordinator wanted C.J. Stroud. I'd assume Scott Fitterer would be in the same boat. Another case in point why overly involved owners sink teams.

What if he was available at 5?

You have to wonder as I do think I remember hearing Pete say on Bump and Stacy after the draft he thought highly of him. Or it was Anthony Richardson. So I do think they would have considered taking a QB if their guy was available.

This..I wanted him if the Hawks drafted a QB
That scrawny little guy at one was not for this level of play but the
media was nuthugging him to death and the Panthers fell for it.

I just thought that Stroud would have been perfect for Waldron ball after watching the tapes.

 

[Rat]

He hasn't taken a sack since week 2 either.

 

[toffee]

One assumed that he has processing issues after his S2 test, which purportedly he took multiple times but still scored all time low.

 

[Rat]

There was a lot of BS about how he can't handle the pressure of big games, but he wasn't the one who gave up two 80+ yard rushes to Michigan in the fourth quarter, and played phenomenally in the one-point loss to Georgia.

Glad to see the QB curse ending. I thought it was going to be Dwayne Haskins that was going to do it though. I couldn't see the accuracy he showed not translating to the pro game.

From the videos of his recent NFL games, his footwork, release, accuracy were all very good. He ran well enough too. Not sure what else one could ask from a rookie, and not like his enjoys superb supporting cases either, in fact they sucked until he came along.

 

[MyrtleHawk]

I'm surprised, honestly. I give this guy his due props but I didn't expect the Ohio State QB curse to be broken anytime soon especially considering how good his WR room was.

Spot-on post.

Heard a lot, but never saw an S2 at 17/18. I have a hard time believing that info.

C.J. Stroud slams critics after reported low cognition test result: 'I'm not a test-taker, I play football'

The founder of the cognition testing company has since said reports of the potential top 5 pick's results are "not true."

This article indicates the report alleging an 18 score was false.

We would have had a big decision to make like Andy did for Mahomes the guy is big time Carolina ****** the pooch again.

 

[toffee]

CJ suffered his first professional INT today, but still pulled out a win.
