Agreed. If there's a test that shows Levis is better than Stroud at anything then it's obviously total BS and should be discarded from the player evaluations.

Stroud used his legs when he had to and put up 41 points on a team that averaged 10.9 points allowed in its other 14 games, and put his team in position to win the game 44-42 had the kicker not shanked the field goal attempt into the Atlantic Ocean. On the final drive to get them in FG range he had 2 or 3 crucial 1st down converting runs. It's not a thing he's done often because why would you when your WRs are Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave, Jaxson Smith-Njigba, Marvin Harrison Jr., and Emeka Egbuka?

I didn't say anything remotely close to that, I was comparing the data we have on scores to how the QB in question played on tape. Are you really going to try to argue that Will Levis with his 26 turnovers and a less than 2:1 TD-INT ratio in the last 2 seasons was a better decision maker based solely on film than the CJ Stroud, who torched the #1 defense in college football for 41 points and had a 7:1 TD-INT ratio over the last 2 seasons? You can, I guess, it's just a really baseless argument.

It will be interesting to see how well Stroud plays behind a bottom 5 offensive line in Houston...certainly won't be what he is use to at Ohio State!

Yes, I watched the championship game.

But he likes to stay in the pocket. Would he be open to running more in designed plays? Would he like to play in that system? They are probably finding that out now on his visit.

Incidentally, Lance Zierling has some connections to Houston, he got both their first round picks correct last year. He says they are split between Anderson and Stroud. That Anderson has a perfect score for them. It will likely come down to ownership who has the say on a QB or not.

They seem to be set on passing on him. Hopefully they maintain that resolve.
