While I agree that would work out well for us, that's far from a nightmare for the Texans as they'd get probably the best player in the draft at a premium position and one of the top 4 rated QBs with a very high ceiling.

thats not happening

I heard on Nashville sports talk radio that there are three huge red flags with stroud.
1. Possibly uncoachable. On the sidelines, he looks bored.
2. S2 scores were low.
3. Supposedly committed to attend Manning Passing Academy, and then blew them off.

FWIW

Stroud was my top choice early but if the S2 score part is true, I’m on the AR bandwagon. Will be good with Levis as well.

The Manning camp deal seems overblown from other info I’ve seen.

Because of all the draft capital you could get trading him off to someone else who would vastly overpay for him.

Whichever QB the Colts decide to pick (or maybe not a QB?) they've done far more due diligence than us, so it's worth giving them a season or two on the field before deciding whether the pick they make is bad.

1) Doesn't match tape or interviews
2) Doesn't match tape and no one has actually put a number on his score to my knowledge
3) Who cares what he did as an immature high schooler?

Do you ever even consider that you might be wrong? About anything?

Lol as if anyone here does that. This is a football message board, expressing opinions generates discussion. It would be really boring if everyone agreed all the time.

Is "dude" CJ Stroud? Because if that's the case I'd like to see some evidence of it, even on the level we have evidence of the other scores. Even then, that sounds a lot like Shaquille Leonard running a 4.7 40, it just doesn't match the tape. Someone that processes information that poorly would not have been able to make the anticipation throws he made in every game. If you can't process information well, you won't be able to find open throwing windows before they come open.
