Stroud had 3 turnovers last game and they still won against a tough Bengals team.  That's typically a sign of a solid roster.  Stroud is no doubt making them better because he is playing out of his mind, but the point of the article is to also compliment the staff for putting this team together so quickly.  Ours made our roster worse than when Rhule was here...

They Won this week and last week because CJ Stroud lead 2 crazy game winning drives. Texans defense gave up a combined 64 points in those two games. It’s incredibly hard to win in the NFL letting the opposing teams score like that. 
 

Going back to my original point, Texans lose both of those games with Davis Mills under center.

Yeah Davis Mills is a backup at best.  Stroud absolutely willed them to a win against the Bucs.  Last week He had 1 pass TD, 1 INT, 1 rushing TD, 2 lost fumbles, but most importantly his game winning drive FG.  He had his running back go for over 150 and 1 TD (when was the last time we had that?) , he had a defense that picked off Burrow twice negating two of his 3 TOs and sacked Burrow 4 times, His kicker was a perfect 3/3 including the game winner.  The whole entire point of this article isn't to compare Stroud to Mills, it's the show how much better of a job the Texans did building a team for their rookie QB than we did.  Stroud is playing out of his mind, but the Texans also made life easier for him.  Credit to the Texans staff and of course credit to Stroud for crushing it.

And my point is if Davis Mills was still their starter the team would still suck and no one would be talking about how well they constructed their roster around their QB.

I just love how narratives change over time.

No one “knows” anything and just puts together educated guesses into stories, which get pushed as “reality.”

 

Pre (and during) the draft/off-season, the Texans were poo on. They’ve been a laughing stock since the Watson scandal. Dumpster fire. Good story with the new HC, but man it was seen as a tough spot for a rookie to walk into a team devoid of talent with a rookie HC and poo O-line. 
 

We were the perfect place for the rookie QB, Vet staff, solid defense that just needed help from the offense, young offensive mind paired with an experienced one, popular QB coach, and Moore being traded was downplayed like hell. 
 

Now? Narrative is we suck, no talent, Texans actually are well built and well coached, with talented skill players surrounding Stroud. 
 

It just comes off as cope for Bryce, with Stroud not getting enough credit. 
 

I’m bitter now, so perhaps this is my lens of bias reading it this way, but I see a lot of this stuff as saving face.

Yeah and if Mills was the starter on most teams they would be a lot worse.  So good point I guess??  It's not like they are saying this is a SF or Miami roster just that Ryans and his staff have done a good job in year 1.  Having Stroud makes their lives easier without a doubt.

Nah it's more like Ryans and his staff did a MUCH better job than Reich and his staff.  Stroud is legit regardless.  I mean he might become OROTY and MVP which is unheard of.

And it’s a team sport, of course, and it takes a team to perform well, but if people can’t see that Stroud is the difference and that he is ELEVATING his teammates…I don’t know what to tell you. 

Its never ending discussion with people on here dude...Texans could roll out 10 trash bins around stroud  and they will still take credit away from him.

      Chris Simms: Jalon Walker is the most overrated player in the draft

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I always get lectured every year when we inevitably win some meaningless late season games to tank our draft position that we're building culture and you always have to try to win no matter what. This is why that's bullshit. Once you're out of contention it's to your competitive advantage to LOSE.

      You’re tripping I hear what you’re saying but you’re not thinking of the benefits that trade gives us. We can then move around in the second round or late in the first to grab a specific player we covet like M Starks late in the 1st. Let me clarify if we’re at 21 we grab W Nolen or K Grant then trade up late in the 1 or early in the second giving up next years second for M Starks or T Amos there so much that can happen with that additional ammo.  Allowing us still so much leverage in next years draft as well with two first rounders we’d be dam crazy not to take a trade like that it’s not the big haul or heavy amount of picks we’re hoping for but it’s gets us multiple players especially ones we’ve seemed to taken a liking to like Nolen etc along with the safety from SC. or even a Luther B or James P early in the second. This nice influx in talent would help way more than a player like Jalon W. because of his high bust rate or probability  to bust….you know what I mean.  We need players we all know that those extra picks allow us to give up something this year to add key pieces from the 29-40 range that we may really like and have a need for (T Amos) and it not hurt as much because we’re stacked in round one of 26. Which could also be a pick one trade one scenario next year giving us more ammo to manipulate the draft to a winning situation for us long term. Al that to say we desperately need to be actively seeking a trade because we could add real talent in multiple spots this year and next with that current trade your opposing.

      [The Athletic] Do teams pay attention to NFL media mock drafts? Maybe more than you’d expect

      According to their list, the top guy hasn't put out a mock yet and the 2nd guy has us trading to 4 for Carter.
