Houston, we have a franchise QB. Hope Stroud pans out. S2 score was awful but he throws the prettiest ball in this class. Hope he can elevate the players around him and lead this team to the promised land.
Please, refrain from using any "rubbing" anything in, out, off.... while discussing our QBs.
Lets put that far far behind us please.

I believe the S2 is a credible test. But I believe the film is the truth. I'm not concerned with his cognitive abilities.

Best QB in the draft for the offense the Texans want to run

Just don't treat us as some stepping stone bullshit to "bigger and better things" cuz of your bullshit ass representation.

IQ tests are bullshit, so don't sweat the test.
Toro Bravo

It's not an IQ test. It demonstrates how your brain processes information. But you're right, all tests are BS compared to actual performance.

That is just a bunch of fancy words for an IQ test.

I hate starting DeMeco's clock with a QB without a team surrounding him to make his job easier, but, they must have faith.

He'll start the season with run plays and dumpoffs. S2 scores don't factor much into this offense.

Translation: I don't like that test and the Texans selecting Stroud prove my point.
Bro, we get it. But feel free to say it a few more times.

Stroud might be the most accurate passer to ever put on a Texans uniform.
I've been critical of his performance under pressure, but hopefully he can develop in that area. From everything I've seen, he should be extremely coachable.
If he can be even average under pressure, we might have a franchise QB on our hands.

He’s got an all pro LT, a top 10 TE and a RB that would have gone over 1000 yards and won offensive rookie of the year had he not gotten hurt. This isn’t the David Carr expansion Texans. Stroud has pieces to work with (and will add more throughout this draft).

Exactly, the WC offense will fit him perfectly. You HAVE to have an accurate QB in this offense, not explosive, not a runner but an accurate passer and that's what he is all day

Welcome to the H... blast off & ride or die... OoooOuu-weee!
Hope you and Anderson are a duo synonymous in Houston sports history that can be discussed in the same conversations as can Bagwell+Biggio / Altuve+Springer, Watt+Johnson, Olajuwon+Drexler or Thorpe.
Learn our hospitality/culture, dont succumb to the traps & enjoy the ride!

2. Houston Texans: C.J. Stroud, QB, Ohio State
The Texans ranked last in yards per play and 31st in total offense last season. Houston needed a quarterback, and after significant posturing and speculation, the Texans did the smartest thing possible: they drafted a quarterback and it was the right one.
Much was made about C.J. Stroud’s lack of running ability, but that’s somewhat overrated because he could do far more damage through the air. Stroud posted national highs in touchdowns (41) and yards per attempt (9.5) while completing 66.3 percent of his throws. At Ohio State, Stroud (6-3, 214) was surrounded by some of the best receivers in college football history, and he let them make plays.
Stroud has great touch, and the Texans now can build around him. Though the Houston brass might have preferred a defender for defensive-minded head coach DeMeco Ryans, drafting Stroud is a step in the right direction. And they didn’t wait to get defensive help, either.
Grade: B+

Thats pretty cool that he wanted to come here. DeMeco had to be a huge reason. I love it

I'm also expecting Singletary to be all over the field this season. R Woods will probably be mostly blocking, tons of TEs still in the draft, and lots of options for discount WRs. The offense has already improved by virtue of the scheme change. If Stroud plays poorly, then it won't be because of who is around him.

Levis has a "leafy" feel about him so I'm not surprised he's falling. He said some goofy **** leading up to the draft.

Spot on. But Houston is a wild city. Lots of fun. Hopefully he will stay disciplined

Always on the cusp of stupid or a dream.
From the highlights I've seen...
He doesn't ZIP and overpower throws. Maybe he doesn't have to? Great touch and arc on his passes hitting 2nd and 3rd levels over defenders. Extremely accurate and in rhythm so he doesn't have to "gun" his passes.
I DO realize what I've seen is highlights. His stats indicate he has trouble with pressure and that's troubling. He'll need to master the offense and weekly game plans to compensate.
Ie, he'll need to pass Sunday tests.
Texans need to get a legit center to minimize dl penatration.
Slowik, do some Purdy magic.

Well, his own agent is a cancer so.....
Maybe it was Slowik who wanted Stroud and DeMeco certainly wanted Anderson. Awesome it got done as it did.
