CJ Stroud is a beast

[Orion1178]

Can't believe how well this guy is playing on a garbage team


He will be a legit superstar if they give him a couple of great wideouts and a decent defense. He's 2-2 with a tough schedule so far. I think they win easily tomorrow

[homie1975]

Love CJ.

that said, I like ATL to win tomorrow against him and his crew.

[Headsterx]

CJ and Texans +115

[asiagambler]

What was Carolina thinking drafting a midget over him

Neither one will do anything worth talking about.

[Orion1178]

Neither one will do anything worth talking about.

CJ is already playing great

Stroud has already shown a lot. Either way, the point still stands. Why draft someone of that size and stature #1 overall when Stroud and Richardson exist? Just one quarterback his size has made a career in the NFL worth anything. Albeit a Hall of Fame career but just one out of how many that failed? I kept hearing how Young was the "safe pick" but seemed like the exact opposite to me

comparing Stroud to Richardson is absurd


Stroud shredded everybody including a great georgia defense full of future NFL Players. Richardson was horrible passing wise in majority of his games in college

richardson already knocked out in 2 games. lets give them a couple of years to see how they do before we start crowning anyone.

I didn't compare Stroud to Richardson. But that's besides the point. Richardson has the higher ceiling

"Majority of his games in college" is like 7 games so what ?

Richardson played with FAR LESS talent than Stroud. The idea behind drafting him is purely based on his physical tools that can be brought out and optimized with the right coaching and system. This shouldn't have to be explained

[asiagambler]

I didn't crown anyone. All 3 could end up being busts. All 3 could end up being great

The point was clearly that with 2 of them, you have a much higher ceiling and boom potential

[trobin31]

Stroud has been my best in season pick up in fantasy so far.

just watching him, guy has juice… Accuracy, intelligence, poise…also love he avoids the mistakes of trying to make something out of nothing which hopefully means he stays healthy. He is already better than Deshaun Watson which is great news for Texans/Oilers fans.

this isn't the NBA. Accuracy and reading the defense properly is very very very hard to teach.


Stroud had like a 72% completion percentage. Richardson was around 54%. The Richardson pick was really a terrible pick

I agree. It's a joy to watch him play. He plays like a veteran

the list of QBs who were great as a rookie and turned out to be busts is practically zero


just about every QB who played decent as a rookie turned into a very good QB

Again, he played with FAR LESS talent than Stroud

Stroud is playing with very little talent in houston and is playing great. Richardson is not a real QB

[asiagambler]

That still doesn't change the fact that Richardson played with FAR LESS talent in college and why his stats suffered

If you don't like Richardson, that's fine. Lots of people share your opinion. My point was never about comparing Richardson to Stroud, more Richardson to Young

I think both picks are terrible. I'd only take Richardson if he agreed to become a WR or TE

LOL of course you would

LOL of course you would

there is no harder difficulty curve in sports than going from a college QB to pro QB


there have been so many QBs who had a 85 QBR and 75% completion percentage in college with a gazillion yards and TDs who became massive busts in the NFL


expecting a kid who had terrible numbers in college to learn how to throw against 10 times harder defenses is absurd

This is boring now. You're just repeating the same argument

[homie1975]

told ya

[homie1975]

Neither one will do anything worth talking about.

your statement reeks of hate

[homie1975]

Neither one will do anything worth talking about.

CJ and Bryce have more pure talent than brock purdy

the difference is that purdy is on a way better team.
