2023 TEXANS DRAFT DISCUSSION

Use the internet/youtube Sir. It's a good tool. Yes, those were the numbers.
Then please, give us Stroud's attempts, completions, sacks, TDs, INTs when under pressure for the 2021 and 2022 seasons. Please include how many of these passes where intentionally thrown out of bounds to avoid sacks. A game log of these numbers would be nice, so we can check them.

Not up for me to do your research. I already posted the video showing Stroud's pressure/non pressure numbers; not from two hacks from the internet but 2 credible and popular guys/analysts. Texian has posted as well. Go check it out.

Nobody is taking Will Levis over Anthony Richardson. That would be dumb. If you're going to take a high upside guys that has holes in the tape, you take the stud with upside to the moon. That's Richardson. If you want polish, that's Young or Stroud.
Where is the evidence for his so called upside? Where is the evidence saying AR is going to get better at several of the things that he does Poorly such as accuracy? I am all for potential but there has to be a path for that potential to become factual on the field. Approximately one out of every two throws is an incompletion or interception. What do you see that will correct that? Is it his arm motion, release, holding on to the ball too long? or what I understand is his inability to read the field?

I have seen few misses that it can be said "whoah, that was on WR'".

Some but very few. A late round2 as with Hooker, less of a risk but no round 1 based on potential. Rashee Rice is fast but no one talking about him playing QB. Bijan big, strong and just as fast and he can probably complete 50% and he has no training as QB. What will be done to help The Rifleman hit the target and more importantly read defense?
 
I'm really leaning towards Richardson if they take a QB, which I don't want them to. I think he has the most upside if you can sit him for a year or two. Sign Jimmy G to a 2 year contract and pray he doesnt get hurt. He can help teach Richardson the offense. If he does get hurt, put in Mills. Do not play Richardson one snap unless forced. Personally I'd rather trade back, pick up another 1st and 2nd this year or a 1st next year and 2nd this year or whatever. Plenty of draft capital to move up for a QB next year and maybe also get Marvin Harrison Jr.
 
I'm not the one saying Stroud is horrible under pressure, quoting some number you have no clue where it came from.
No, you're the one questioning this despite the videos being posted several times on this forum. Do you think this is all being made up? Common man, get a grip. I posted again for you above. Please try doing some research on your own instead of creating FUD. It's out there.
 
The draft needs to hurry up & get here. All these media mocks speculating that Chicago is going to be able to trade down multiple times for a king's ransom is driving me crazy. And no matter who's picked first, they always have the Texans taking Young at 1.2. Are they not seeing the same small frame that some of us are? I find it frustrating & very funny how so many here, that complained all year long about us taking Stingley because of his lisfranc injury, are the very ones saying we have to take a QB that has an unusually small frame & has multiple shoulder injuries, as pointed out by CnD. Does anyone truly believe that the opposing NFL defenses won't bring their entire weight down on Young when they tackle him? Maybe I need to quit following these mocks & just wait until free agency & the draft. I could accomplish so much more if I do that. lol
🖐 see ya when you return. Wait.. before you go, you do know FA begins 15th?

Maybe just a brief vaca?
 
He missed one game. How many did Sting miss, then get back to me with the math. All due respect to Doc, he’s been incessantly negative from jump on Bryce. The bias is obvious. Forgive me if I wait for additional confirmation before throwing the baby out with the bath water.

As of today I have Bryce 1, and CJ closing the gap but still 2. I will be thrilled with either and trust Demeco until proven otherwise.
Yeah CloakNNNdagger was incessantly negative on Stingley and Watson also! He has been incessantly... accurate.
 
I already posted the video showing Stroud's pressure/non pressure numbers;
If that video contains the numbers, what are they? I see nothing of the numbers I requested. How many attempts and completions did CJ Stroud have while under pressure?

Is he making it up also? Those numbers were presented in another video with 2 famous football analyst guys (I don't have the time to search for it, but it was made 4-6 weeks ago). The fact that you don't have them and/or unwilling to find them yourself doesn't make them not real. Sign up to PFF and research the data yourself. These numbers are real. And yes, for my understanding the sample size is relatively small because Stroud wasn't pressured all that often. Playing at Ohio State has benefits.
 
Young threw for 321 yds, 5 TDs and 0 INTs in the Sugar Bowl. I'm reasonably certain he could have thrown at the Combine. Unless he says something in an interview, we'll never know his reason for not doing so. But there was no point in him doing so. He's not the #1 qb because of his arm talent, but because of his elite intangibles.

Every team in a position to select a qb at the top of the draft knows everything there is to know about his injury and future prognosis. They know more about his injury and rehabilitation than will be released to the public and we will ever know.

It's all just a convenient topic for discussion.
For all we know all teams will look on his medicals and pass on him. I would have recommended to Not throw at combine but at his pro day. I am not concerned about the combine. However he has delayed his pro day to a later date. That does concern me. His abilities to make all of the NFL passes plus his accuracy [arm talent] is part of consideration as 1st QB off the board.
 
Is he making it up also?
Who knows? No one knows what numbers they are based upon. In fact, some of the examples the guy on the video gave had nothing to do with pressure. Stroud made a bad decision to not release the ball on one play, then ran himself into pressure. That was a bad decision. But it had nothing to do with pressure. Inevitably, it's an opinion based piece. Without real numbers like attempts, completions, etc., it's not enough to base an analysis on.

My goodness, what is going on here?? That's PFF data he's using, which others have cited as well. There are statisticians that keep track of pressure/non-pressure passing stats in college and NFL, as well as a bunch of other things. What is so hard to understand?

- Did we really put a man on the moon? (or was that based on the news anchor's opinion)
- Is the war in Ukraine really happening? (or was that based on NBC's opinion)
- Is consumer debt at record levels? (or is that based on the Federal Reserve's opinion)

It's data and it's there. Go subscribe and check it out for yourself. Nobody is making this up, unless your believe there's a conspiracy to hold back Stroud.

Look, I've already posted the facts on Stroud a couple of times. So, I don't need to repeat it but I will one more time: Stroud was 133th in FCS (pre-GA game I believe) is passing efficiency under pressure in 2022, and something like 8th when not under pressure. That's not a small gap - that's a massive gulf. The variance was, in fact, the largest in FCS last year according to PFF. Similar dynamic in 2021.

The undisputable fact is, backed by game data, is that Stroud has sucked in pressure situations in terms of passing efficency in college. The flip side is, he's been strong when operating from a clean pocket, which was the vast majority of time in college. The variance does scare me quite a bit, although I 100% acknowledge the arm talent and ability to layer/hit windows.

His Vick/Watson comments also scare my a tad, along with his agent. Hanging out with Watson in the off-season. I just get bad vibes here.

To each his own though. I just presented fact/data to support my position.
ok but he did play good vs Georgia.

It takes 3 to 4 months for an athlete to recover from labrum surgery. It wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't throw at the pro day. If he does throw, it could mean he doesn't have a tear or it could mean he's throwing in spite of the injury. Teams will have access to medical reports.
 
Except he was out on Young before he even mentioned the shoulder. While I have a ton of respect for Doc and his input is extremely valuable, it's clear to me that he isn't unbiased with Young.

As far as I know, he hasn't examined Young, isn't privy to any medical testing or diagnostic info, hasn't talked to Young's Dr's, has no info as to his current condition, etc. It's all speculative. He MAY have major issues with it going forward...and he may not.

But there's no way in hell the Texans are taking a QB at 1.2 with severe medicals. If they take him, it's because they are comfy that it's not going to be a major issue in his career. Flat out.

If they pass on him, let the speculation begin. In that case, sure it could have played a role. All I'm saying is let's slow down the roll here. Doc has him in a wheelchair already. Let's wait and see once the Texans Dr's get a hold of him and once the usual pre-draft leakage happens. If he's a huge injury risk, I'm perfectly fine with passing on him. I just don't think it's been determined yet.
Texans took a CB with severe medicals and high re-injury risks. I and others don't read that Doc has Young in wheelchair, just saying watch out.

OTOH, i read you as saying draft him as he has exciting intangibles.
Those only work if Young stay on field.

When did Young have labrum surgery so i can start a 3 to 4 month countdown? He delayed his pro day, why?

Those are not facts, it’s nothing but opinions. Y’all really need to stop trying to post stuff as facts. Here are the facts and I don’t give two nickels about the talent he had. Dude balled his butt off. Bump all that extra crap y’all talking about.

Dude, he's just trolling you. If he really wanted the information, he would look it up himself.
 
Dear Football Gods,

Please don't make the Texans take any midget or injury riddled QBs this draft. I think we've been punished enough.

Thanks.

Football Gods:

We give you a QB but you complained he couldn’t hit the broad side of the barn (Osweiler).

Then we give you another QB but you complained when he assaulted women (Watson.)

Now you are asking for an accurate QB, doesn’t assault women, and stays healthy?

You ask too much.

Back to QB purgatory.
 
Brady was married for 13 years to a woman worth over $400 million. Do you just argue for the sake of arguing?

You replied to my comment. I replied back supporting my original comment. Now you are replying back and saying I am being argumentative?

Happy International Women’s Day.

This celebratory occasion was made for you.
 
To my knowledge Bryce Young has had no surgery on his shoulder So no reason to look at either post..
To my knowledge there is no confirmed knowledge that Young's shoulder is not fine, but there certainly are plenty of posts assuming otherwise. It's all just speculation, so should we just drop this discussion until his pro day? Or the draft?

The facts does not change his stats Or how he played in college but those facts can indicate how he might perform in the future period and that's a fact jack!

If CloakNNNdagger said he has info that Young has subluxation, it is not speculation. If he was speculating , he would say so.
Believe him or not, your choice and same for everyone.
Of course you should drop discussion until...
But you won't.

THIS FROM CNNND:-
"Just a clarification. An A/C joint shoulder separation is an entirely separate entity than a shoulder subluxation. :tiphat:"

CnnnD's report was on Young's injury back in October. He has not reported any update, or on Young's current condition. And in fact, he reported the medical injuries Young suffered but not on the severity of those injuries. And also, he did not say with certainty that Young had a labrum tear, only that it was common with his other injuries.

You asked why Young did not throw. I gave a plausible reason.
 
You can get shot up for grade I A/C and rotator cuff injuries. After a shoulder subluxation, injections with physical therapy can return a player to play very quickly. But future subluxation and dislocation are not uncommon. Lastly, players often play through labral tears, but doing so can lead to very significant problems...........Andrew Luck ignored and played through a "minor" labral tear for 2 years.........eventually leading to a "shredded" labrum which resisted surgical intervention.

Any shoulder problems in the throwing shoulder of a quarterback is not a joke. And when you're dealing with what Young has already experienced in an ultra-short college career, the concern is not only for a 7 or 12 month period, it is a setup to rear its ugly head any time in the future.
Young's injury (for ref)
