How overwhelming praise from Texans teammates raises important questions around CJ Stroud
BAR RAISED
13 June 2023
Houston Texans quarterback CJ Stroud is getting rave reviews from his teammates this offseason praising him for not only his QB skills, but also his demeanor and ability to interact with the media.
With that in mind, how soon will he be named the starting QB?
Plus, will Stroud end up being the best QB in Texans franchise history? NFL Draft analyst Lance Zierlein thinks so. And clearly the bar isn't set too high, with Matt Schaub and Deshaun Watson ( only 4 years as the starter) being the leaders currently.

Eric Murray returned one of Justin Herbert's career-high four interceptions for a touchdown, C.J. Stroud threw a TD pass and the Houston Texans rolled past the Los Angeles Chargers 32-12 in a wild-card playoff game Saturday.
Be sure to watch the video below as the crew from Texans on Tap reacts live to the big win!
It’s the second straight year Stroud and the Texans (11-7) won in the first round after they beat Cleveland last season.
Herbert threw just three interceptions in the regular season and had never thrown more than two in a game before facing a Texans secondary led by AP All-Pro cornerback Derek Stingley, who had two INTs. Kamari Lassiter had the other pick.
The Chargers (11-7), who returned to the playoffs under first-year coach Jim Harbaugh, lost in the wild-card round for a second straight time after also losing in the 2022 season to remain without a postseason win since 2018.
Stroud threw for 282 yards with the touchdown pass to Nico Collins and an interception. Collins finished with seven catches for 122 yards. Joe Mixon ran for 106 yards and a score.
Herbert was 14 of 32 for 242 yards with a 40.9 passer rating.
