A more recent video of Stroud

Accuracy - Check
Poise - Check (though it will be interesting to see if that remains when he's live, 6 weeks from today)

Eichenberg and Pope flashed in coverage; sometimes Stroud completed it anyway

Two areas he needs to get better at are RPO and accuracy on the move. Both of those attributes are going to play a big role so I hope time and experience enhances that for him.

He already has a better looking swing pass than Justin imo, so the outlet should always be there. RPO is more art than skill and JT was Rembrant so maybe I'm a little spoiled.

Agreed. I'm looking forward to seeing that slung out to Henderson and/or Pryor to house.

I don’t understand why they weren’t practicing spinning jump passes.

I don’t understand why they weren’t practicing spinning jump passes.

Because they’re amateurs

Ahhh...college football. Where the likely starters thread is on page 3, and the new hotness is on page 1.

Either there’s a small injury and coach is being coy or CJ has been balling in camp, because a first time starter can use all the reps he can get.

[sarcasm] Look I was told he would be replaced by game 3 by Ewers and everyone else was transferring… this blue check clearly doesn’t know what he’s talking about [/sarcasm]

The fun part for now is the total unknown to
the average fan.

He could be all world or a total bust. We dont even know his style of play yet, strengths or weaknesses. I have no idea what to expect.

Does he stay in the pocket and deliver a dime right before getting clocked by a rushing DE? Does he get happy feet and lose his cool? Does he have a knack for scrambling and throwing on the run? No clue.

But I’ll know pretty soon.

And that’s the fun part. I think of all the different types of QBs I’ve seen in college and the pros and how vastly different some are. And I wonder what we have in Stroud.

It’s like Christmas.
