Stroud is averaging 291.8 yards a game which puts him just in front of Cousins (291.4) and Tua (289.9).

This pace would put him at 4961 yards for the season which would shatter Luck’s record of 4374 (273 yards a game)–in fact at Stroud’s pace he’d break it after 15 games.

Plus Stroud has a rating of 101, while Luck finished at 76.5.

    If our cities didn’t have a natural rivalry, I would root for Houston in the AFC. Stroud is the real deal and a QB worth building around.

    As soon as that catch was dropped by us in the endzone I knew it was over, CJ is just too good to give a full minute on the drive 😭

    Meanwhile he’s not even remotely talked about in the MVP talk. Instead it’s all about the underachievers with the big contracts and names

      Idk maybe it’s a good thing that someone who scored so poorly is playing well, so that people realize how stupid it is to make quarterbacks take a test.

    It’s kinda wild how the AFCS went from being a poverty division in terms of qb talent to a division where every team may have found their guy in like, a season and a half. And yes I’m counting AR in that cuz he looked pretty good before he got injured.

      Are we counting the Titans and Will Levis in that mix? The the jury still feels out on that after Levis’ first game where he got lucky on a few 50/50 balls to DHop. The Steelers and Bucs games left a lot to be desired, and it’s not like those secondaries haven’t been carved up this season.

    Our defense made CJ Stroud look unstoppable with Singletary and Noah Brown with just them two and Tank Dell they put up 500 yards of offense and basically ran the same PlayStation and killed us with it.

    I’m glad you added the part about Stroud potentially breaking the record in 15 games, since it accounts for the extra game

    Even though he smacked my bengals around, I still started him in fantasy this week and it paid off.

    As a Jaguars fan, congratulations on getting a QB who will singlehandedly assure that the Jaguars continue to be a poverty franchise.

    Our Superbowl window was last season, looking back in hindsight, and we blew it against the Chiefs in the divisional round. Now CJ is going to be the one leading the Texans in their fight for AFC supremacy while Jacksonville (particularly their offense) continues languishing under the direction of Press Taylor.

    I’m happy (and upset- it’s bittersweet) that you have your guy, and a coaching staff that isn’t sabotaging his talent.
