We do?

I think the comparison to TL was more to Strouds passing then overall game

Rest your head brother https://www.timesleader.com/sports/1593084/qb-c-j-stroud-is-still-defining-his-legacy-at-ohio-state Harrison said he admires Stroud’s skills and leadership and that he’s “never seen anything like it.” “We all look to C.J. when things are going good and bad,” Harrison said. “He always rallies us together, whether that’s halftime, we’re down or before the game. He’s always talking to us, making sure that we kind of have the right mindset going into everything.” Stroud has participated in community events around Ohio State and Columbus that extend his influence beyond the field. On and off the gridiron, Stroud said he is proud of what he’s accomplished.

add in his community service , prison reform stance and his religion and its a no brainer

so what was your original beef then? You said she could be bsing

You think she is lying about her research?

Maybe but there are literally dozens of articles about how his teammates love his demeanor, work ethic and lookerroom/huddle presence. So color me as IDGAF what national writers think when his teammates seem to want to go to war with him.

I mean I wouldnt go that far lol but I could see it. Just see us a juggernaut in the south around midseason with stroud

If you think that about Freuland then you probably should do some research on her. Her background is pretty nuts and she was at the forefront of nfl and analytics. She is not one to skew or make up her data for a "hot take".

Ive said for months that with stroud we win the south and its not even close.

Can you point me to any scouting report that suggests this?

He vocal in the locker room, a super religious guy, incredibly involved in the community and out spoken on some social issues. I think I know how this plays out.

It’s on special for $1.

Damn “His accuracy downfield is really special. He’s bigger than you think and faster and harder to sack than people realize. I thought he’s better than Trevor Lawrence. He’s such a pure passer and can make all the throws. He does really unique stuff. Watch some of the stuff he did against Michigan. There are two plays in that game, one on a deep go-ball and another on a corner route, where the DB undercuts it. It’s to the wide side of the field, and he just drops it in over the outside shoulder. Then, I’m watching him against Georgia, against those guys, and he was dominant in that game. We did our best to disrupt the timing, and he still got us. We played more aggressively at the line of scrimmage and he made a bunch of big plays. On third-and-11s, in real rough spots, he was able to improvise when it wasn’t there. If we didn’t match a pattern or cover a guy just right, he took advantage every time.”

I think its coming into focus 4 weeks out who we are taking. I suspect in a couple weeks it will not be a secret.

I mean there are just tons and tons of articles where the coaches and players go head over heels praising his leadership style so that is one odd tweet. https://nflmocks.com/2023/02/14/cj-stroud-2023-nfl-draft-scouting-report/ Strengths •Experience/Leadership – Stroud is known as a passionate leader in the locker room. Although soft-spoken in interviews, the team feeds off of his play. Serving as the full-time starter in 2021 and 2022 gives Stroud plenty of experience and high-caliber tape for NFL teams to salivate over.

There are plenty of articles where his teammates praise his leadership. He is a "lead by example" type dude. First one in, last one out player. So yeah that wording is a bit clunky

Damn good stuff.

Who was the poster that wanted to bet everyone that AR wouldnt be drafted until the 2nd?

Do the same trade for the bears minus Moore. gotta think they would have done that. If not oh well

A small part of me wishes we would have kept moore and traded up to 3 for AR.

Damn his arm is strong as hell

He is not as silky smooth as Stroud but he does change the speed on his throws really nicely

AR has the frame to me that looks like he could hold another 20lbs of muscle. Just an amazing specimen

Makes me want him even more. Kid is a born leader of men
