Do you watch CJ Stroud and wonder ‘what if’?

  • Nico Collins is their #1, a third year 3rd rounder out of Michigan. He has over 600 yards receiving on the year and better than anyone we have (and who I personally had on my radar as a breakout candidate - I have had him stashed on my keeper league roster for 3 years in FF now).
  • Their #2 WR is the Rookie Tank Dell who is playing fantastic for a 5th rounder and looks better (and faster) Than any Receiver we currently have. 
  • They also have Dalton Schultz at TE, a top 10 player at his position who I REALLY wanted us to target this offseason instead of Hayden Hurst.
  • Noah Brown, The former 7th rounder you're talking about has played in 4 games this year.
  • I don't know how good Bryce would look with the above mentioned guys but i'm pretty sure he'd look at least marginally better.

You have been completely disingenuous about the whole thing regarding Stroud ever since we drafted Young. I get it, you wanted him, but go learn more about the team before you jump ship to be a Texans fan.

And Bryce's leading receiver this week was Mike Strachan, a 7th round pick for the Colts who was on the PS and was elevated to the active roster for the game against the Bears. He lead the team in receiving yards with one catch.

That's how fuging sad our receiving corp is dude. I'd trade all of our guys for the Texan's guys in a heartbeat.

That's why I honestly can't say how good Stroud would be doing with our absolutely terrible situation.

I have no clue how Fitt wasn't shown the door 2 weeks ago, let alone why he was chilling in the box with Tepper on Thursday. The roster construction is a crime against football.

I was going to support whoever we took and I still am but it's rough watching him break records and legitimately be in the MVP conversation right now.

There's still no way in hell he's playing as well for us as he is for the Texans. Their receivers and offensive scheme are infinitely better than our own. I have no idea how much better he'd be at throwing 7 yard hitches to guys with zero separation as the line crumbles around him before he finishes his drop back.

This situation was a no winner for any QB we brought in. I doubt MVP winner Patrick Mahomes from last season would look good in this putrid offense, We are just that bad.

Spot on Ricky as usual.

I am not trying to get into a pissing match with you here but did you watch stroud today?  I mean he was under duress and still managed to look really competent and  put up stats and a win.  I just think stroud is a dude that is going to put up numbers and wins no matter who is on his roster or what the scheme is.  I mean he has clearly showed it this year.

lol at the narrative that the texans skill position players are greatest show on the earth tier

uh whatever helps you cope

it isnt that much different then what cam had in 2015 and he made it work, just like stroud is

This was a hail mary away from being the worst team in the NFL last year

face it, stroud is a franchise changing player, and bryce.... isn't

I see people claiming they are better than what we have (which is the worst in the league). Greatest show on Earth sounds like someone trying over exaggerate a point being made to dismiss it. We have the worst weapons in the league and our OL is in a scheme that’s ruining it. Anyone with eyes can see this.  Regardless Stroud should have been the top pick and he is absolutely crushing it in Houston. Both things can be true.

Yes, he looked great. But he also had receivers that were able to get open for him to hit once he scrambled, and those same receivers got open consistently even when he wasn't under duress. 

Watch the film for Bryce, he hits the final step in his drop and there's a guy in his lap and none of the receivers have finished their routes and ready to look for a pass. If he does manage to scramble out of it, there's still no one open so he either checks it down or scrambles for a few yards himself.

Our scheme is dildos. Our receivers are dildos. The coaching is dildos. Stroud would probably be dildos for us much like Mahomes would have been Dildos with John Fox as his first head coach in Chicago.

sure man sure, but my eyes tell me stroud is just about 100x more legit, smooth, capable and efficient then young.  Could that change, yeah sure but right now stroud has it in spades and young looks like he is in the deep in without arm floaties

Stroud looks 100% legit.

I'm just saying we can't write off Young just yet because this team is incredibly bad top to bottom.

    • okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.  
    • Jackie, any more reps tomorrow, or is that it for this session?  thanks for the work
    • How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
