They got lucky. Had they had 1.1 they’d have drafted Caleb Williams, errr I mean Bryce Young.

They came into the season with a strong OL, drafted a very talented young QB and hired a coaching staff that maximizes their talent.

I think people are really overlooking they are 5-4, lost to the Panthers 2 weeks ago, and 4/5 of their wins are against teams you wouldn’t think are very good.

They are a solid team, but people really be overlooking a lot of things to say they are title contenders.

Stroud is honestly legit, he’s breaking rookie records. On top of building the trenches and adding talent around their rookie QB, they got Anderson on defense. Solid rebuild helped out a lot. Coaching staff also probably plays a huge part

Um. Step 1. Select a god qb with your draft pick.

Well you see, they have this guy at QB that’s an absolute wizard and wins them games single-handedly with insanely clutch last-minute scoring drives.

This forum is kind of funny. How they rewrite the narrative to suit their agenda. First of all Houston didn’t get better so quickly because of one guy, that’s just ridiculous. They added Brown, Dell (good draft pick) Robert Woods, Devin Singletary, Dalton Schultz, and that’s just the offense. I didn’t even LOOK at the defense and offensive line. It’s not all one guy. They made some smart moves in other areas too. Don’t forget they also completely revamped their coaching staff. Speaking of changing narratives, you are COMPLETELY changing the narrative about the Bears draft strategy to claim they “missed” on Stroud. A QB wasn’t even in the equation, how can you miss on something you weren’t looking for at all? The idea right or wrong (still TBD) was to get Fields more protection and improve the defense. They didn’t miss on Stroud, they weren’t LOOKING for a QB. Just stop with the nonsense.

Better coaching. Significantly better qb play. Less moronic gm.
