The Texans Team as a Whole

"Every receiver is exceeding expectations."

Of course it helps when your rookie quarterback is a cyborg, but the Texans’ receivers are giving major bang for the buck of late — and there isn’t a single one you’d consider a Top 10 guy in a neutral situation. Third-round rookie Nathaniel “Tank” Dell is the most explosive receiver on the list, catching six passes of 20 or more air yards on 12 targets for 213 yards and three touchdowns. When you have a receiver who can just scorch defenses with speed like this… well, you get why Stroud loves this guy downfield. Carlton Davis of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is probably still recovering from the filthy stutter move Dell put on him on this 29-yard Week 9 touchdown. Dell is more than just a straight-line speed target.

Tight end Dalton Schultz, another former Cowboys target who signed a one-year, $6.25 million contract with the Texans this offseason, has become another force in the Texans’ passing game. Schultz is an expert at presenting a favorable target to his quarterback, as he did on this 31-yard catch against the New Orleans Saints in Week 3. This was a two-man route concept with Xavier Hutchinson running the vertical seam route on the left side, and Schultz clearing New Orleans’ deep Quarters coverage from the right.

And then, there’s receiver Nico Collins, who’s especially good at finding voids in zones, and making contested catches when a defender is matching him anywhere on the field.

It's a good demonstrator of how drastic our situations are. They could not be more night and day. 

It's a clear as day their roster/staff was much more equipped to plug in a rookie QB than ours was/is.  To top if off we drafted one that requires us to completely chance our scheme which makes it even less ideal.

could have signed dalton Schultz over hurst. Hurst's cap for next season is 10 mil to make 2 catches per game

If Davis Mills was under center for this same Texans team they’d be lucky to have 2 wins.

Good QB play makes everything around them look better. Bad QB play makes everything look worse. 

Stroud had 3 turnovers last game and they still won against a tough Bengals team.  That's typically a sign of a solid roster.  Stroud is no doubt making them better because he is playing out of his mind, but the point of the article is to also compliment the staff for putting this team together so quickly.  Ours made our roster worse than when Rhule was here...

      I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.

      This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
