[2023 NFL Draft/1-2] C.J. Stroud, QB, Ohio State

Metlife stadium: "I got you."

 

Mahomes sat out, watched, and learned a year before playing.

Stroud has done much better than Luck through the first 12 rookie year games.

Stroud 20 TD 5 INT
Luck 17 TD 16 INT

 

I can't wait for the all 22....

CJ threw a no look pass with anticipation to Collins.... it was nuts.

 

Man Broncos fans are so pissed about this. They want him off the team.

 

Even better is that the two quarterbacks right behind him in yards have 24 interceptions combined.

 

That Metchie throw...you can see the emotion on his face as he overthrew it. Lol

 

Honestly, I think he threw it pretty much where he intended to put it. I think he expected (and was trying to direct) Metchie to turn more straight up the field instead of at an angle. That's my guess anyway when I saw the replay.

As for that personal foul on Singleton, I keep thinking are there any other examples of Stroud showing us what it looks like to be a cagey veteran despite being a rookie and before yesterday's game I felt like we had pretty exhausted all those examples. I hadn't even considered baiting a hot-head defensive player into a stupid penalty.

 

I think you're right about that throw. I really think it's just a disconnect between them, if it was Nico or Schaultz...that's probably a completion. Metchie hasn't played too much this year, so I'll give it time between them.

 

He’s been their best defender

 

No ordinary rookie... lmao

 

But I thought his test score said he was too stupid to be a franchise QB...

 

And he went to Ohio state. Guaranteed bust……lol

 

I wanna say there was beef from a couple of plays before too. On a qb sneak singleton was jerking CJs neck pad in the pile. I dont know about anybody else but I wouldnt like that too much.
