    Holy ****, man... Yeah, it's not suspicious in any way because I'm not dragging decades-old racist tropes (Black QB dumb) out from under the rocks they were rightly buried under many, many years ago. I'm arguing what I think would be a widely-held belief that Dak Prescott is a significantly better QB than Jared Goff. Frankly, that you think Goff is as good, or better, says a lot more about you. (I'm guessing there are various pro-Davis Mills posts throughout the forum from you? Let me grab my shocked face...)

    It is not remotely widely held that Dak is better than Goff. They’re both considered top 5-10 QBs with extremely similar stats and abilities.
    If Stroud put up numbers like Goff, you would cream your pants talking about how good he is.
    That is your bias talking.

    I find it funny you call someone a racist, but then have one of the most obvious racially biased takes.
    Hypocrite

    Yes, and? Generally, stats are indicative of good/bad play. But we're going to just throw those out because they don't align with your bias?

    Week 3 was *73* days ago. Why are you even bringing it up, other than the obvious reason? Are you arguing those three weeks are more relevant than the subsequent 8 weeks? Is this really all you have: to point to three-month old data and shout, SEE?!?!"?

    And even if we're, I guess, permanently scarred by those first three weeks, let's not pretend these exist in a context-free vacuum: new offensive system; first-time play caller; two starting OL that have subsequently been traded/released and another that has been benched, in addition to multiple line-up/positional changes and at least two legitimate playmakers (Marks and Higgins) sidelined + playing LA and Jacksonville, two *very* good pass defenses.

    So, yes: he was not good those first three weeks, along with virtually every other aspect of the team, which is why they lost all three games. But to actively choose to ignore that *legitimate* positive changes have occurred since, and instead insist that the first three games are still this team's standard, is straight-up bias-fueled delusion.

    Everything about this team is LIGHT YEARS better today than it was the first three weeks of the season. And I don't care what the competition was - the Texans from the first three weeks of the season would've *struggled* against weak competition. That they were blowing doors off bad teams is indicative of them figuring quite a few things out. That's exactly what good teams do.

    Unfortunately, Stroud got hurt and missed what was shaping up to be a really strong run for him, based on how he was playing when he got concussed.

    No single player is responsible for overall team success, and especially postseason success. But I feel fairly certain that even if Stroud did LEAD the Texans to a AFCCG, the "Yeah, but..."s would come roaring back to life with a vengeance.

    If CJ plays the rest of this year as well as he's played his last five full games, the Texans are going to be a very viable contender.
