How is this not the OL he's going to have in regular season? Did they start 2nd stringers?

That's an odd thing to do to your spanking new qb.  I could see putting 1 second stringer on the line to test him with the starters. But to put the entire 2nd string out there for your supposed starting qb seems a bit risky and counterproductive to said qbs development.

Texans about to find out real soon why you need a Oline for a young QB.

 

Im so thankful we finally built an above average Oline. Bryce definitely has a better supporting cast than Stroud right now.

 I’m so dam thankful we have a above average line.

His Oline not doing him any favors.

The line was giving him no time prior to that pick, hope his nerves settle

 

 

If you rewatch that interception on YouTube a few times he had time on that pass it was just a bad throw he’s line wasn’t holding up throughout the game but that play specifically was all on him not nitpicking but just thinking you can’t put that on the line it’s on him. He didn’t see the defender plain and simple happens to all qbs especially younger qbs hopefully Bryce sees things much clearer then that.

Apparently both tackles and right guard didn't play, dunno much about their depth chart

A risk I didn't anticipate when they didn't put Stroud back in... that Mills would actually look really good.

9/12 for 99 yards and a TD.

Tank Dell is a player to get excited about for the Texans.

Gotta love the concentration to stay after it but damn man, you could've just made the easy catch.

I hope Holton Ahlers gets to play for the Seahawks tonight. Gotta root for my fellow ECU Pirates!

I’ve never understood why defensive head coaches, especially rookies, hire first time OC’s.

Stroud looked awful, from not playing the starting Oline, to looking like he had no coaching beforehand, wtf are the Texans coaching staff doing?

Rookie QB getting his first NFL action against Bill Belichick RIP in peace

It's not like the Patriots are game planning for a pre-season game.

I think the Texans are just gonna Texan. They seem destined to fug up. And yes, I know those are some pretty big rocks I'm chucking around inside this Panthers fandom glass house.

I saw a couple of shots on twitter, and in one he starred the guy down, in the other he was super later to a hole in the zone.  

The big knock on him was being able to process the information on the field.  Did he throw with any touch, timing or anticipation?  CJ has the tools to be a great QB, and I was all for him before we traded up to 1.  I don't want to see him fail (if for no other reason to be a successful OSU QB just so people stop making that argument).  He also seems like a nice kid (like most rookies) so you root for them.

Houston should not have him start if he's not ready.  You'll ruin him.  Look, let Davis Mills start until things slow down for CJ.  In those two shots, he looked like a deer in the headlights.  

I completely agree he needs time to sit back and learn. He really needs time to see the game study from the sideline it takes a qb time especially one who doesn’t process things as quickly as per say Bryce.

Yeah, the pick was dumb, but why were they running a 15 yard comeback route on 3rd and 20 something? Tank coulda just kept going on a go route and beat that CB yolo it's preseason

He has 26 starts under his belt already. I had no clue he had played that much football.
