Stroud is a fucking baller, and this settles the question of the validity of intelligence tests in the pre-draft process once and for all. They’re worthless.
The winners of last year’s draft appear to be the Texans, Colts, and Bears.
The big, big loser is Carolina. They may be fucked for the next three years. That’s how you engineer multiple years in your divisional basement.
Let this be an abject lesson to all the trade-up-to-grab-a-quarterback people in this sub. You’d better be fucking right, and you’d better be sure you’re fucking right.
That Texans game could be for a playoff spot
If the wheels don’t fall off the Colts team over the last half of the season, I will hail Steichen as my lord and savior. The Colts have now won games because a kicker made an NFL record 50yd+ field goals, Kenny Moore had two pick-6s (still likely win, but would’ve been close), and they scored 10 points.
The offense is so, so bad with Minshew and I expect that to start translating to losses here soon. Very promising future (just having AR back would instantly make the Colts legit playoff contenders), but am expecting a regression in the win column to match the offensive performance.
However, our schedule is easy, the defense has been very good the last couple of weeks (and grove will be back), and the offense did score a bunch of points against the Browns, so what do I know. It might work out!
Stroud looks the part and plays the part but winning is more than just the QB. We should know
