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...

They Won this week and last week because CJ Stroud lead 2 crazy game winning drives. Texans defense gave up a combined 64 points in those two games. It’s incredibly hard to win in the NFL letting the opposing teams score like that. 
 

Going back to my original point, Texans lose both of those games with Davis Mills under center.

Yeah Davis Mills is a backup at best.  Stroud absolutely willed them to a win against the Bucs.  Last week He had 1 pass TD, 1 INT, 1 rushing TD, 2 lost fumbles, but most importantly his game winning drive FG.  He had his running back go for over 150 and 1 TD (when was the last time we had that?) , he had a defense that picked off Burrow twice negating two of his 3 TOs and sacked Burrow 4 times, His kicker was a perfect 3/3 including the game winner.  The whole entire point of this article isn't to compare Stroud to Mills, it's the show how much better of a job the Texans did building a team for their rookie QB than we did.  Stroud is playing out of his mind, but the Texans also made life easier for him.  Credit to the Texans staff and of course credit to Stroud for crushing it.

And my point is if Davis Mills was still their starter the team would still suck and no one would be talking about how well they constructed their roster around their QB.

I just love how narratives change over time.

No one “knows” anything and just puts together educated guesses into stories, which get pushed as “reality.”

 

Pre (and during) the draft/off-season, the Texans were poo on. They’ve been a laughing stock since the Watson scandal. Dumpster fire. Good story with the new HC, but man it was seen as a tough spot for a rookie to walk into a team devoid of talent with a rookie HC and poo O-line. 
 

We were the perfect place for the rookie QB, Vet staff, solid defense that just needed help from the offense, young offensive mind paired with an experienced one, popular QB coach, and Moore being traded was downplayed like hell. 
 

Now? Narrative is we suck, no talent, Texans actually are well built and well coached, with talented skill players surrounding Stroud. 
 

It just comes off as cope for Bryce, with Stroud not getting enough credit. 
 

I’m bitter now, so perhaps this is my lens of bias reading it this way, but I see a lot of this stuff as saving face.

Yeah and if Mills was the starter on most teams they would be a lot worse.  So good point I guess??  It's not like they are saying this is a SF or Miami roster just that Ryans and his staff have done a good job in year 1.  Having Stroud makes their lives easier without a doubt.

Nah it's more like Ryans and his staff did a MUCH better job than Reich and his staff.  Stroud is legit regardless.  I mean he might become OROTY and MVP which is unheard of.

And it’s a team sport, of course, and it takes a team to perform well, but if people can’t see that Stroud is the difference and that he is ELEVATING his teammates…I don’t know what to tell you. 

Its never ending discussion with people on here dude...Texans could roll out 10 trash bins around stroud  and they will still take credit away from him.

      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.
