He's a consensus top 5 pick, so most people must see franchise QB tools in him. Is he universally considered a bust waiting to happen? If not, I can't understand what is so radical about that?
All I can really say is watch his games. I watched his games against his two toughest opponents this year, as well as a few others. His best game was against the best defense in College Football, and he put his team in position to win that game. I will say that I don't think whoever came up with the notion that "Stroud only operates well within the structure of the offense" actually watched him play, or they think rolling out of the pocket to escape early pressure (usually coming from his blindside because his LT was bad) is part of the structure of Ohio State's offense. Besides that criticism, I haven’t really seen any other major criticism of Stroud from anyone.
