I am going to cheer each INT Stroud has and yell "take that Peyton Manning! We are coming after you!"Not comparing the two but Peyton Manning threw 28 interceptions his rookie year. I like Stroud. I will be patient and hope he develops.

We should wait until game 5-6 of yr 3 before even starting to judge Stroud. This means even if he has a good rookie yr.
YesLet's assume that the NYG have next year's #1 pick. Would you be favor of trading Stroud to them in return for that pick so that Houston can pick a real QB?
You said the Texans should win 10 games this year with just average QB play, but they will only win 6-7 games because of Stroud.Yes
And for the record, I dont believe Stroud will be a bad QB.
I don't see the contradiction here. It's not going to be because of how Stroud plays. It's about his agent, the people he hangs around with, & his S2 score.You said the Texans should win 10 games this year with just average QB play, but they will only win 6-7 games because of Stroud.

I thought you were joking. Are you seriously saying you can't decipher the meaning of that post?
I've said this before and I say it again.I thought you were joking. Are you seriously saying you can't decipher the meaning of that post?
I'm looking for magic.
Every winning team has it to some extent or another. It's more than the Jimmies & the Joes more than the Xes & the Ohs. The ball bounces their way more frequently than not. People in the right place at the right time, they get all the calls, & just look like the luckiest team alive.
Think of that streak of games where Jacoby Jones looked like an NFL clutch receiver & the Ravens go on to win a Super Bowl.
Magic.
I'm hoping to say, "No way!!!!" at least a dozen times each game (in the Texans favor). & this time next year people talking about, "you can't count on that." & "expect them to regress to the mean."

Hard not to like the kid after learning about this. He’s doing all the right things and proving to not be a follower. I hope he doesn’t lose track of what’s important and continues to mature and improve in all areas of his personal and professional life. Good good stuff…

I'm really hoping for a McDermott/Josh Allen type of situation to occur here.That is awesome to see. The team voting him captain before he'd even played a game says a lot. That's a room full of grown ass men choosing a 21 yo rookie as a leader. Your post just confirms why. Thanks for posting it.
I think it's awesome that DeMeco is connected to CJ as a mentor, friend, and HC, and both in their first years. They are both natural leaders and very mature at young ages. I doubt CJ strays considering his HC is a former player and has such a solid support structure around him.
I think this is the foundation of great things. Kool Aid, optimism, whatever, I'm buying in as a fan, especially after seeing what he's capable of in just four games.
WTF you talkin' about Willis?Some bad takes in this thread. Kind of embarrassing. Even with Bryce Young poor play, Carolina fans still have faith but Cj throws 1 int in preseason and it’s the end of the world. Hey sorry guys we drafted a generational qb. I would delete some of the bs in here. Very cringe
It's a fun read.The Shanahan/Slowik system is going to be dumb downed for Stroud. There are going to be a lot of 1 read passes called for Stroud. This will be the case until Stroud loses his antsy feet and his nervous tick.
LOLI'm not really concerned about Stroud. If anything we'll be making excuses for Green, scapegoating whoever our starting Center will be & talking about the step Mason lost & the inability of the receivers (including disappearing TE) to get open & Slowick's ability to scheme them open.
I'm just going to say I told you so, this team ain't ready for a rookie QB.
LOLAgreed about the learning curve.
How long did it take Shanny to become a quality OC? It wasn't long.
How long did it take Kubiak to become a Quality OC in Minny? Ryans chose Slowik over Kubiak for the OC position. It's been reported that Slowik's a genius level person.
It didn't take long for LaFluer to become a quality OC.
If Slowik doesn't succeed it will be a rare thing coming from the Shanny tree, which is why if Stroud doesn't succeed it wont be because of Slowik. IMHO
This is also why I wanted a vet HC like Payton, Reich so that the McNair's would have proven HC's that could put together a veteran staff. This would be a 1st for a McNair owned franchise. Like I said nothing has really changed down on Kirby.
LOLIs it? The current QB not only looks up to that QB, but hangs out and is represented by the same trash. This isn't going to end well.
I’m on the same boatCJ is lighting up the league, the team and the fanbase and is as exciting a prospect we have seen in a Texans uni since DW4 was doing well.
Still, as a long suffering Texans fan, I cannot let myself get over the top excited until a full season or even halfway into the second as teams tend to find a weakness or two to bring them back to earth.
Still, I can enjoy the current success and dream of what's possible with what I am seeing.
Here's hoping for a bright and successful future.
Na, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. It’s ok for people to change their mind. This ain’t China or Cuba. Besides, CJ is making believers out of doubters every Sunday.Some bad takes in this thread. Kind of embarrassing.

what's so funny?
Exactly. That’s the problem with the interwebs… if you said it then you must live with it. Bleh. We are allowed to change our minds.Na, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. It’s ok for people to change their mind. This ain’t China or Cuba. CJ is making believers out of doubters every Sunday.

All I said was that I didn't know that Bobbly Slowick would have this team ready. How would I?Still fun/funny to read though.
They didn’t know either, and if they say they did they’re full of sh*t.All I said was that I didn't know that Bobbly Slowick would have this team ready. How would I?
Cj surprised me. If the Texans had selected a different QB, Young or Richardson, would things look the same? I think not. Bryce Young has a much cleaner pocket to work from & he can't get the ball out.
So.. who knew? I'm glad I was wrong.
They saw something in him that’s why they drafted him versus another team trying it’s best to sway them otherwise. So they knew something after diligently scouting him.They didn’t know either, and if they say they did they’re full of sh*t.

Sometimes you hit and sometimes you don’t. Looks like they were correct this time around.

Surprised everyone to some extent. I thought the Texans would be around the 20th-21st in total offense. And that was before the epidemic of OL injuries. I thought Stroud would be better at the end of the season than at the beginning. If that is true, lookout NFL.Cj surprised me.

Cam finished his rookie season with 4051 yards, 21 TDs & 17 INTs. Not too slouchy. Good enough to win OROY in 2011. It would be a disappointment if Stroud didn't beat those numbers across the board in his rookie year.But while Cam Newton was basically getting worse game by game, CJ's getting better.
I knew.
I totally knew.
I was just under a vow of secrecy so I couldn't let on that I knew.
Yeah.
That's it.
That's the ticket. Vow of secrecy.

So, when are you going to finally man up and admit that you were completely wrong about Stroud?
I doubt you even show your face again.
He will be back. He always comes back.
When we are at our lowest again that is when he returns. The Texans/Stroud will have a bad game. He will be back for an I told you so. And then disappear when the Texans/Stroud rights the ship.
& I stand by that. I don't think I was wrong.The part that is funny was how you said the team is not ready for a rookie QB.
WhoGivesAsht? If I asked, or if that post was in response to what you thought I could see the "lol" But it wasn't. It was my opinion, which I'm free to give here & it would be nice if folks didn't go around nitpicking each other's opinion. That's not discussion.My stance has always been to draft the QB when you like him well enough and build around him.
So you've missed my point all together... makes the "lol" even worse.I had mentioned guys like Herbert, Burrow, Mahomes, even Manning.
That those teams did not have the Oline intact when they drafted their QB.
Cool, let's talk about that.I also said many times in the past that I like the QB to be able to use all 11 guys on the field; meaning that such QB needs to be able to use his Olinemen correctly and to find the open receiver or his outlet quickly to allow them to make plays.
I do not prefer guys like Richardson (though I did say that he's a good one)
Not a big deal.& I stand by that. I don't think I was wrong.

Still, I said many times, "If the Texans think their guy is in this draft, last draft, the draft two years ago.... they should draft him." I didn't think Cj Stroud/Bryce Young/Anthony Richardson/etc... were "can't miss, franchise" guys.
Looks like I was wrong about Cj Stroud. I think I've admitted that more than once. "lol" doesn't further discussion. It's more, "I'm a prick & I want to make sure you know it."
So you've missed my point all together... makes the "lol" even worse.
Cool, let's talk about that.
Got nothing to do with me. If Steichen thinks Richardson is a franchise QB, more power to him. I'm glad I'm not a Colts fan. I'm glad Steichen isn't the Texans coach, but if he was I'd be onboard. I'd disagree, hope for the best, & root for the Texans.
lol
Why, they weren't. You're basically saying the same thing when you say draft your QB & build around him. Different strokes, different folks. & if you can't tell, that's not what's happening here. The coaches are doing an incredible job getting good results from fundamental techniques.Not a big deal.
I just found the comment that the Texans aren't ready for a rookie QB funny is all.

If it wasn't a big deal, you wouldn't have dug up those old posts to lol about.
