Couldn’t agree more. Hell, I thought Stroud was a slowpoke the way they advertised the S2 test. Their stock surely took a nosedive and may be out of business soon. Stroud is the MF man!
Interesting question but I believe he took the S2 long before Carolina traded up.
I've certainly been aware of this S2 thing, but didn't delve deeply into it. I just seem to recall that the Stroud score was not, let's say, "official" ; and I seem to recall the owners of the test saying something to the effect that this report was not to be taken seriously.Well, I guess that settles it then, right?
It’s gonna be fun watching CJ rub y’alls noses in it.
Coach Cap said he told him he could be aggressive but he has to take care of the ball. Make the smart decisions
Lets see how long it takes him to learn.
Odds of what?
I would add....a rookie qb playing at the level he has been playing.
To your point. In my younger days, I was an avid gamer who have played on almost every generation of video game consoles. From Atari 2600 to Mattel Intellivision to NES to Sega Genesis to PlayStation to Xbox. To be honest, I still play football on an Xbox Series X and even on a Meta Quest. I find the Xbox controllers and their letter-based buttons more user friendly than the PlayStation. You can ask anyone and you would probably get a 50/50 split on their preference of controllers and consoles.
I one time made a reference to something right wing political in nature and a mod went off on me. It wasn't even controversial in nature. So with that said Marcus or anybody else posting political stuff should get a warning and have their post be deleted. It should not matter if the post is liked by the mod or not. Fair is fair and ALL politics should be disallowed. Even post that reference anything political in nature should be deleted. However if it is only referencing something political without purposely being put out for a political discussion it shouldn't get a mod angry like my old post did. Some people are way too sensitive!
Xbox for the win
People also forget Bryce dad is a psychologists
Do you feel your reaction time is the same on both controllers?
What is the reaction time expected if your not familiar with either?
I see people comparing Cj to Burrows & I'm just not seeing it. He's more of a Classic drop back passer than anyone I've seen in a long time.
No idea. But based on my unscientific observations, it will definitely be slower because they are looking at the screen then glancing at the controller to react. If I had to speculate, based on the button you have to push to answer the question, it could easily be 1 to 2 seconds slower than someone familiar with the button layout or even the size of the controller.
Phillip Rivers is one of my favorite QBs of all time, so it's no insult to say this, but Burrows reminds me more of Phillip Rivers & Stroud reminds me more of Peyton Manning.
Ok so they knew before they “leaked” the S2 score that Carolina would fall for the ruse and at the same time they themselves didn’t believe in the test. So why were they saying before the draft they liked both players? Or…they were also willing to settle for Young and Anderson. They had the draft capital to trade into #1 for Stroud but the key was also to draft Anderson.
Even though you’re more than likely poking at posters that didn’t want CJ at #2 overall, I’m sure that if he starts throwing multiple pick sixes in games (on a regular basis) then you bet your ass there will be vocal doubters. Doesn’t matter how high of a draft pick he was. Do I think he’ll regress like that? No, but it certainly can happen.
Phillip Rivers imo was more about the physical talent, Manning more mental. Rivers is going to beat you with brute force, Manning is going to figure out your scheme & crack the code.
He's a rookie and will undoubtedly have a bad game or two but even good vets have bad games - even Mahomes has more picks than Stroud this season.
If it were me I'd have been talking up Bryce Young & leaking how we're preparing for Young starting day one.
If they had talked it up hard everyone would have figured it was a ruse. So they let others talk it up for them while they played it close to the vest.
I don’t think you can overstate the growth of SLO, as a play caller, and CJ as a QB. They’re learning their crafts together and mostly excelling.We're usually on the same frequency, always good to read your posts! I was fighting hard for Stroud from about mid-point of the College Football season, but took heavy resistance, even after the draft into preseason. However, after those first couple of games, you could actually see the growth. Now maybe he wasn't polished coming out of Ohio State, in that program, but if you studied the mechanics, footwork, alignment, quick release, strong arm, ability to process and leadership it was all there. Plus I grew to love his demeanor and personality, all seemed legit to me. S2 testing is what hung people up. Might as well chalk that travesty up with the Wonderlick.
The other big thing you mentioned was hiring of DeMeco Ryans. Good ole' DeMeco, loved him as a player and person. So happy for him, actually one of the happiest days of my life when they announced his hiring. Man was he able to put together a staff. Obviously, Slowick is star of the show. Even if we only get one year out of him, his ability to coach up CJ and approach the game management is stuff of a guru. He has the upside to someday, not only be a head coach (soon) but down the line elite GM and evaluator of talent. Just chew on that a minute and get back to me. Anyway all is well that ends well its been a tortuous process to get here but now WE ARE HERE, lets enjoy.
They could have outbid Carolina with Chicago. Wasn’t like there was a lot of competition.
Good plan but I would like to see him remain as a Texan in higher office.
Jerrod Johnson, Texans qb coach ?
Higher than offensive coordinator? There's only one coaching job higher.
Assistant HC is an option.
Plus didn’t we like create job positions such as the Easterby one? I know he was front office but I’m just saying we can make something up as we go.
