LOL. Maye has better RBs and TEs, plus Diggs AND Boutte. Allen has 2 TEs, and James Cook. Mahomes has 2 TE, 2 RBs and ANDY REID. Herbert has 2 RBs, 2 WRs, and a good TE, Love Has 2 WRs, 1 TE, and a RB. All but Herbert have better O-lines. Herbert has the better Oline when they are healthy. CJ has Nico....and Schultz some of the time.
D@mn good question... CJ is better QB prospect (mechanics, accuracy, etc.) Hurts is a leader & has already won a SB + can run
LOL. Maye, Mahomes, Nix & Love all play for uber-elite offensive coaches; CJ Stroud does not nor has he ever. Come on. Allen, yes - though, again, CJ has never had an OC as good as Daboll, who was with Allen for the first five years of his career. And Allen didn’t make the leap until his third season. Dude lost to Bill O’Brien in year 2. Herbert is a yes, too - but the primary talking point with him is that he’s yet to reach his potential because his supporting cast and offensive staff have been a detriment. Make the same claim with Stroud and we’re making excuses. Also, he hung 3 on this same Patriots D a week prior.
How many picks are we getting? Hurts is bad, he needs an A+ around him to do anything. Give him B+ talent and he's useless. Give him what the texans have and he might not score a td all year.
Call me crazy but I think Hurts beats the Patriots if he was on Texans. Doesn’t have the arm CJ has but much better athlete and doesn’t turn the ball over.
Their run game is ranked near our or worse. Nico would be the best receiver on their team by far. Schultz and Henry are a wash. Oline is a wash. You may not like it, but the Oline rankings say so. Allen has one TE that is hurt all the time and Cook. That’s it. Herbert had both bookends hurt, his rb1 hurt the entire season. And no one on that team is better than Nico.
I can give you OC, but skill positions and supporting talent, Maye has less, Nix has less at WR, Mahomes has less at WR and a wash at RB.
Theres 0% chance Hurts throws 4 int in that game. Not asking him to be tom Brady. Just manage the game and don’t turn the ball over.
He would never score a point with the talent the texans had. Maybe it's a "less embarrassing" loss like 21-0 or something but we get slaughtered with him.
The more I look at the film, the more I look at the numbers, the more I think CJ Stroud should not be the Texans' QB going forward. He is NOT the guy. Unfortunately, the Texans' brain trust doesn't know this, but they will eventually if they don't make a change. Looks like they are going to waste a generational defense, the franchise's only chance at a SB because they don't want to hurt the feelings of a "nice" kid.
Man excuses are running rampant in here. CJ was historically bad in the playoffs, really the last 4 games.
They will probably give him 26 but his leash will be shorter. It pretty much will be up to him how this goes. Whether he he uses it as motivation to get better or just sink and be another teams reclamation project in 3 years
Well.... the offensive coordinator is pretty freaking important and can make up for any talent deficiencies. Those QBs also have significantly better offensive lines, which, again, closes a lot of the talent gap. In terms of the skill positions, Nico obviously walks onto any of those teams and is immediately WR1. Beyond that, Rashee Rice is better than any of our other WRs, and - minus Nico - the Pats, Broncos & Packers have significantly better WR rooms and much better RBs. Again, we have to agree on an objectively true reality: we can point however many fingers we want at CJ - but to pretend he's working in an optimum environment is burying your head in the sand-level bias.
The question was how to improve the QB position. Short of a new QB, which is almost certainly not available, your best course of action is to build a better team around Stroud and hope that, at the very least, can help you minimize his shortcomings. Stating, factually, that the offense around CJ is bad and needs to be significantly upgraded is NOT an excuse. It's reality.
