    C.J. Stroud, QB, Houston Texans

    Stroud and the Texans aren't sneaking up on anyone this season. After an aggressive offseason that saw them add key veterans like Danielle Hunter and Stefon Diggs in an effort to maximize Stroud's rookie-contract window, expectations are as high as they've ever been in Texans history. To author an encore to his dazzling rookie season (4,108 passing yards and 23 touchdown throws), Stroud will have to navigate a tough schedule and a much more intense spotlight.

    Did you know that the first 16 games of Houston's 2023 season all started at noon CT on Sundays? Their first non-early-window game was the Week 18 matchup against the Colts, which was moved to Sunday night because it was for the AFC South division title. This season, Houston is scheduled for four prime-time games and one late-Sunday-window game.

    Stroud has a lot going for him in addition to his obvious talent and composure. His offensive line was the most injured in the league last season and should (hopefully) avoid similarly bad luck in 2024. Plus, the addition of Diggs to the wide receiver corps and Joe Mixon at running back help bring experience to an otherwise young offense. But with Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars looking to bounce back, and the Colts fired up to see what coach Shane Steichen can do with a healthy Anthony Richardson under center, the AFC South won't roll over for Houston. Can Stroud do what Burrow did and lead a previously moribund franchise to the Super Bowl in his second season?

    “take The Stroud.” - Brian Daibol (Hard Knocks) when asked about the last decades worth of QBs taken in the first round.

    He means if Slowik were to get a HC offer after this season.

    He didn't say a specific location that's why I was asking here. I don't know what offense he runs and I'm sure Slowik is gone.

    I want nothing from the giants regime. They been atrocious since prime Eli. Even then, they were more lucky than good.
