Here's why Colin Cowherd's vendetta against Texans QB CJ Stroud is lazy

REALLY?

FS1's Colin Cowherd recently shared his thoughts on how he believes the Top 3 rookie quarterbacks in the 2023 NFL Draft will pan out.

In his opinion, CJ Stroud is the least likely to live up to expectations. Cowherd is no stranger to being critical of the Texans and Stroud. But predicting CJ won't have success based on his environment and the college he went to just doesn't pass the smell test.

Be sure to watch the video above as Paul Gallant lays out why he believes Cowherd is just being lazy with his Texans takes.

Peyton Manning had some very interesting comments recently about CJ Stroud's perceived sophomore slump last season. Much of the skepticism, Manning believes, comes from surface-level narratives. The Texans went 10-7 in the regular season last year, a step back from the lofty expectations set after C.J. Stroud’s electric rookie year and Houston’s dramatic playoff push.

And while the offense didn’t maintain its early-season explosion under Bobby Slowik, people seem to be overlooking how that same Texans team ended the year: as one of the last four teams standing in the AFC — alongside the Chiefs, Bills, and Ravens.

Stroud has now won a playoff game in his first two seasons, while Manning didn't win his first playoff game until year six of his career.

With a new OC in house, and DeMeco Ryans leading the way, Manning likes what he's seeing from Stroud and the Texans moving forward.

It’s pretty cool watching Stroud take in praise from one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history. Manning gets it, and before long, the rest of the league and media will too.
