Or why Stroud hasn't won Houston a Super Bowl already!

That is a serious knock against him.
Well when's he going to deliver, man? He owes me my glory!

CJ Stroud is going to have the luxury of playing behind a top OL for his college career and at least the first three years of his pro career.
Not many QBs get that opportunity!
Of course that does mean tough roster decisions will have to be made in year four when presumably they will be negotiating an extension. But we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it. For now, just appreciate that the Texans have invested in protecting their shiny new franchise QB.

His play
Most importantly isn't interested in learning how to post links.
Will calling him dumb be considered coming out in full force?
Dumb people are known to breed dumb offspring.
You think David from the inner city gives 2 bleeps about the last paragraph of your post. He only cares about getting his clients the most money up front that he can get. The pain will start when the rookie wage scale doesn't matter anymore after yr 3.
There should be no I told you so's.

I’m trying not to respond to your posts but given other past comments this almost smells racist which disturbs me But I’ll give you credit instead for just being the anointed arrogant decider of who on this earth is below your level of intelligence. And don’t respond with any tongue in cheek baloney.
There are people of all races that are dumb as boxes of rocks. I dont claim to be any smarter than the next guy. In fact there are many on this MB that are much smarter than I am. (Probably including yourself)

I don't know about Dejaview, but I know I'm smarter than you.
You get better weed.
So I can agree with this post.
This (and below) certainly seems like criticism-
He didn't sign in the order you thought he should, and that is a "strike" for you. That is a criticism.
Ah, that wouldn't be a manufactured concern, but a real one.
There are things that are fair critiques of Stroud; his S2 score, his struggles when under pressure, the fact that he didn't win a championship in college, those are all football things that make sense to be wary of.
But things like him signing after Young (despite not missing any time), his father being in prison, him being from OSU, being the second QB taken in the top 10, none of that is football related.
Also- the quote button is your friend, not just the reply button.

No sir I’m not . I’m not going to call out their freaking name.
And dude you’re the one on here making up ridiculous crap for people you don’t like.
My apologies Mods.

The S2 score has no merit either.
Well played my man.... well played.
I can see how an overly protective fanatic (in the cultic sense) would think so. However I phrased it, whatever words I used, I know Stroud isn't the one negotiating with Caserio. My criticism is directed at the one negotiating with Caserio.
I hope Stroud realizes there are better options to represent him & changes representation before his rookie contract is over. I hope he learns a little something/something from Tunsil & is able to get himself top dollar without playing childish games.
Funny how it was the beesknees & the way of the future before Cj's score was leaked.
Now it has no merit.
For those with reading comprehension deficiencies, I'm not criticizing Cj, only the reaction of some to the S2 before & after Stroud's score was leaked.
I'm looking forward to the Cj/DeMeco era with great confidence & optimism.

The bridge between stupid and useless is short.
As it pertains to intellect, no one captures and maintains intrest in their opinion better then @steelbtexan. In the advertising world that's called genuis.

I’ve always said it didn’t have any merit and I’m still standing on that. I will ask again why wasn’t this test being talked about last year or the years before?

Deja just speaks in a vague, more roundabout manner. He's clearly a smart guy, but his posts leave way too much room for interpretation. This isn't the right median for that delivery.
I agree with you. Not grouping you in with them. Surely you see the hypocrisy.

He is very Trumpian. Use a bunch of word salad nonsense with a few key buzz words like David from the inner city and now you've got everyone talking. Great way to keep the country...er I mean...the board talking.
An "overly protective fanatic (in the cultic sense)"? Flying pretty close to the personal attack rule, no?
In any case, it is not my fault that you did not write clear enough to get your point across. I quoted a couple of your posts above from this very thread, and I see lot talk about Stroud- "his contract", "Stroud says...", etc. If you want to make sure people know that you are talking about the agent, don't talk about Stroud; talk about the agent.
Additionally, you literally criticize Stroud's choice in agent in this very reply. But I'm sure that however you phrased it or whatever words you used, that wasn't your actual intent, right?

Word salad? I thought that was Nick Caserio?
Stroud's agent got the best possible deal. Your assumption that draft picks would sign in a bottom up fashion was out of touch with reality. And somehow you think all of this reflects poorly on the agent?
Ever considered that your logic was out of touch on this?
Nick owns the Word Salad North American Championship belt. Everyone else can only dream of toppling the champ.

Runner up to Caserio might be a good thing.

Relative to Word Salad championship belts i’d say that when evaluating which word salad championship belt is most prestigious you could make a case that the Word Salad North American Championship belt is in the mix for being among the most prestigious.
Besides trolling purposes or your emotional trigger for certain people, I have no idea why you felt the need to add this to your post. Do you have that same trigger for Scott Boras who got as much money possible for Carlos Correa, Gerrit Cole and Dallas Keuchel to leave Houston?
I'm not a Mulugeta apologist and have no idea if he was raised in the inner city. I do know that he was born in Dallas to immigrants from Africa and that's enough of a trigger for you.
In the non-advertising world, it's called hypocritical, obtuse, illogical, hardheaded, obstinate and flat out wrong.

I'm not included in others? What does that make me then... an alien? Invisible man? Tell me oh obi-wan all knowing
What did Stroud (Mulageta) gain in waiting for Young to sign? In your opinion?
What was the offer prior to Young signing? You're asking me to speculate on something neither of us know.
It's what we do.
IMHO and just off the top of my head. Similar to Young, Stroud got his signing bonus upfront. Mulugheta demonstrated to his current and future clients that he was able to get the same bonus structure as the #1 pick. The Texans show they can negotiate with Mulugheta without any acrimony and get their player in camp on time.
However, most importantly. Your concern for this nonissue has increased your post count and the number of references to Mulagheta on this forum.

IMO Stroud was not waiting for Young to sign. He was waiting as long as he could before training camp started trying to get the best possible deal he could. That just seems like smart business to me. Young did essentially the same thing.
Young signed his contract on July 21 & reported to camp on July 22.
Stroud signed his contract on July 24 & reported to camp on July 25.
I really don't think Young or Stroud gave a damn when the other signed his contract.
Edit: Added 2 more signings.
Richardson signed his contract on July 24 & reported to camp on July 25.
Will Levis signed his contract on July 22 the same day he reported to camp.

Unlike what was said by the source. This shows exactly what Nick said in the past. He will do business with Mulagheta again. AND that crap with 4 doesn’t have any bearing on future clients.IMHO and just off the top of my head. Similar to Young, Stroud got his signing bonus upfront.

You don't think he could have negotiated that on the basis of the #2 & #3 picks in 2021?
