CJ Stroud's Artistry - The Greatest Rookie QB Performance Ever 

Thanks for watching! Hit subscribe. (And sorry for using 'antithesis' instead of 'epitome'... that was dumb)

I'm happy for Texans fans cause CJ Stroud is THAT DUDE

This is the only fantasy football channel that uses actual experts, including former players, to give us these detailed breakdowns that use actual play--not boxscores, or stats out of context, to help us decide who to start and pick up. Unreal value here. Other channels seem to be using their gut feelings or unfounded assumptions to rank players--pure entertainment. Appreciate you, Underdog!

Well analyzed by Colt McCoy. CJ Stroud was amazing and his timing with the WR was impeccable.

“All I know is pain.” ~ Panthers Fan

Colt showing why he’s hung on in the league so long. Knows the game. Knows how to explain it. Sees what’s going on

could only imagine if he had stayed for one more year at Ohio State. It would have been epic. Best pure passer I've ever seen. The guy is incredible.

I tried to tell guys in my golf league that CJ was a baller... His consistent ball placement is pretty damn elite and his footwork has improved from the beginning of the yr. Go Bucks!

As a Michigan fan wasn't a Stroud fan. But the man is balling out . Love it

I haven’t seen a QB this good since Marino, Montana and Elway in the 80’s

CJ Stroud showed me in the CFB playoffs last year, that he was ready for the NFL. So far he's proving it. If the Texans can get little better on the defensive side this team could be fun in future.

CJ could be in the race for MVP, even tho the NFL probably wouldn’t want a Houston QB to get that much love 😭

Dude, the look on your face while you’re listening to Colt 😂OMG its hilarious 😂

As a UGA fan, I new this dude was a total fucking baller the moment I watched him in that CFB Playoff game. He's got that edge dude, he's got such a great feel for the game, supreme arm talent, and a high that dawg/game index. Should've gone 1st overall, I still think Bryce can be good but the Panthers have to be kicking themselves.

Watched every game when CJ was at Ohio State. He started slowly with lots of mistakes, but he visibly improved every game. The reason was, as his coach Ryan Day once stated, "CJ Stroud is very intelligent and absorbs coaching like he relishes it." Stroud is humble enough to invite criticism, then works his butt off to eliminate it.

When you check out the routes and football throws CJ is just unbelievable. These guys are balling on an incredible level.

This is amazing breakdown. Thank you Colt!

I am a simple man. I see a CJ analysis, I watch and upvote.

Absolutely loved this analysis

texas legend! love colt was a big fan growing up. he really knows his stuff u can tell why he’s been around the league for so long.

So glad you did this game, I couldn't wait to watch the film from this game, but Colt has forgotten more football than I've ever known, so excited to see his breakdown.

been saying this since his high school tape....best passer ive ever seen

CJ reminds me a little of John Elway. As a Cowboys fan , I told my friend to not sleep on Stroud because he wanted Bryce. Normally , I am not a fan of Ohio State QB's but I saw Stroud make NFL throws. I didn't see that with the likes of Fields, Lawrence, or Bryce Young. I think those guys were a product of the system. However when I went back and looked at Stroud, I knew he was different.

I own a Colt McCoy jersey!

This is outstanding analysis

CJ is special glad to have him on my fantasy team

Appreciate this one seeing scheme and football intelligence.. and honestly CJ right now in my opinion is and seriously could be MVP. Hes a rookie yes but his worst game was last game possibly and they still couod have won that game. Keep your team in the game even when yiu dont play your best

Thanks for the work on this. Colt's got a coaching career I'd think, very helpful break downs

CJ for MVP

YASSS! What a fucking fantastic watch, thank you guys for completely slaying this one! I love how much you guys love football. ♥ "We're talking about NFL history, Josh, watch this throw." There are few things more beautiful in this world than a top-shelf pro athlete and his team executing and performing at the absolute maximum level. It's like witnessing the finest, rarest art to see CJ Stroud look like peak Aaron Rodgers 8 games into his career in one of the flat-out greatest performances I've ever watched in any sport in my entire life. And this is just the Texans' side of things! Thanks again, fellas, you really captured the moment and conveyed the wonder and awe I felt on Sunday, it was great to relive it! I'm not even a Texans or Bucs fan, but I got as hyped as if it was a film review of 2023 Brand New Lions. I do, however, have me a mancrush on Stroud ever since what he did to Georgia in December, lol. As such, I had been targeting CJ specifically in a 12-owner competitive redraft league that I've been running for 20 years in which the superflex spot *must be filled by a rookie * (as defined as any player QB/RB/WR/TE that has not played in an NFL game prior to this season per ESPN player card Stats page). I respect how hard it is to really know how good a college player will be at the pro level, so I'm not claiming that I knew he would be this fucking great right out of the box. So I'm of course just ecstatic on several levels that I got him and that he is him. It's been an even more awesome story to follow considering the state of that franchise before this season, Ryans returning as the coach, PFF analytics guy Slowik at OC, the state of the OL and a set of skill guys that scared nobody back in early September. As a Lions fan watching our story of rags to riches unfold, I'm all-too happy to make room in my life to follow this one at the same time. Houston and Detroit both are witnessing, IMO, some of the greatest stories to unfold in NFL history - and it's so damn beautiful. All of that is to say, thank you guys for loving football as much as I do and doing great work like this to detail and provide context to CJ and the Texans' truly all-time-great performance on Sunday.

Colt should apply for a analyst job on a major network. He breaks it down better than anyone that I have seen this season.

I just found this!!! Love how colt breaks it down and it looks like his coworker is admiring colts work as well… loved watching you play at ut… keep your the Great work…subscribed!!

Underdog is the best in the biz! Thanks Colt and Josh! CJ is the damn 🐐

New to FF and these guys are the best ! No yelling, screaming or crazy graphics. Just the facts man, delivered with touch of humor and attention to detail.

His bkgd coaching defense is a huge asset. The way he coaches the offense is these are the ways the defense will react. These are our counters. CJ takes it upon himself to learn all the counters--"the answers" in every play. Slowik coached him up, but the amount of knowledge he absorbed since rookie mini-camp is due to his work ethic.

I'm eating crow right now. I knew CJ was a very accurate passer but I never thought he'd get on a team good enough to protect him. We can see what's happening to Justin Fields in Chicago. Teams have to realize you need good O-lines to give your QBs a fighting chance to be good. It doesn't matter how good your QB is if the O-line can't protect him.

It just shows everyone how good the Ohio State program is..America's Team OSU

*cries in panthers fan*

Became a CJ fan when he was at OSU I just couldn't believe he lost to ttun twice but now we know...CJ can make all the throws we're so proud of him Go BUCKS

I heard CJ scored bad on the NFL cognitive test though 😂 I love how that was the narrative going into the draft 😆 never forget

This was so fascinating. Subscribed.

love the technical breakdown! Thank you

Absolutely love this channel

Love the analysis! You guys rock!

Thank you Colt. Hookem Horns.

Let’s go Texans and always hookem 🤘🏽

Good stuff, gotta love Colt!!

Nice analysis guys .... outstanding!

That's how Coach Slo calls plays, not just indiv plays, but different versions out of the same play structure. Confusing the defense, especially #24 here 😊

Next year CJ will be calling plays on the fields.

Bro use to watch Cult play back in the day when texas was a beast back then 😥

I watched the qb school’s analysis of Aidan oconnol of the raiders and the difference in coaching is evident. Multiple plays with improper blocking and receivers jogging out their routes on the raiders. The culture in Texas is remarkable… these guys are giving it their all.

Great Video, new subscriber.

Tank Dell is a budding super Star

I don't understand it, every NFL analyst always talks about how important it is to win as a passer and CJ was the best passer inside the pocket in college football. It makes no sense why he didn't go 1

As good as stroud might be, I give a shit ton of credit to the OC, who will be a head coach sooner than later!

As a panthers fan, I knew CJ was the clear best qb in the draft...but until this past week, I didnt feel like disappointment we didnt get him. Ive just felt annoyed that we have bryce young and thought our team is run by morons. Watching this game...I feel almost like we missed out on the next Mahomes and that feeling sucks lol the panthers deserve everything happening to them right now.

Sicko Mode 🏈

Yep. When he can play a finesse game in an environment where he's not allowed to be hit... he's great.

CJ is amazing at executing, but Bobby is going to be hard to keep hold of in the off season

Bro we ran the first play in high school it really is a simple route that pump fake by cj was elite tho

Colt bout to be an OC soon. Hook ‘em

I love how Case is always the most hype😂

🔥🔥🔥

CJ should get bonus points in the fact that Damieyon Pierce didn’t play in this game. Dude is probably their best offensive player.

This just made me want to see Colt get a shot as an oc

Can't believe my panthers passed on him

What a great channel. SO much more enjoyable than listening to the nauseating drama queens on ESPN et al. Thank you. Subscribing.

I have Stroud. And he is very exciting saying he has a bad O line. But guys realize he also has literally the easiest NFL schedule this season. As an Eagles fan, I knew Hurts had the easiest in 2022. Perfect situation to grow as an NFL QB!! Now Hurts is facing 11 playoff teams in 2023. Whole new ball of wax!!

CJ's going to break all the quarterback records in the NFL going to be the best

That's what happens when you're a smart HS kid choosing to go play for Ryan Day and THE!

As a panthers fan and a buckeye from birth, we f’d up. Hard. Said it the day of the draft and I’ll say it til the cows come home. Stroud’s a generational player, Young’s a talented bust. He shouldn’t even have been put in this position, he’d probably develop better as a backup.

Awesome performance and 😊 on break down. I started Stroud last week. Is he a must start now. Also, U have Fields, Stroud with Kyler Murray coming off PUP, which QB should I drop or Trade? Thanks!

I wonder how much different it would of been scoring wise if they had a kicker and didn’t have to be aggressive

CJ and Tank he wanted Tank he told the front office draft him. They did..Go Coog's /Buckeyes!

Colt is going to be a fantastic coach.

Rookies most certainly do this, See "Ben Roethlisberger", CJ put up highr numbers, but as a rookie in 2003, Ben was Stellar, CJ needs to do it for more than one game before you start printing his HOF Ballots. btw, he is on my fantasy team YAY

🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

i get the hype, but no one will ever have as good a rookie year as Big Ben Roethlisberger. dude went undefeated as a starter. he didnt have the flashy numbers, but he got the dub.

He was robbed of the Heisman because of Michigan cheating.

#LETCJCOOK!

That corner and safety messed up that final plays read so badly.

What until next year to see how successful his career will be. Once teams get a full years worth of tape on him they'll play him different. If you need an example; Russell Wilson. Besides that it's more than him, his line and receivers are playing descent football too.

Capital A+ Anticipation...

Colt can evolve into a great OC or coach

Damn Colt McCoy looks like Jake One lol

I remember when scouts were saying since CJ scored a low 18 on the Wonderlic test, he’ll be a complete failure while Brice Young ,who scored a 98 , is guaranteed success. Look how reality turned out. It really diminished the credibility of this idiotic Wonderlic.

If C.J. had gone the 'right' way, the rusher would've been closer to him AND the Brown would've had less time to get downfield. Slowik was kind of vanilla in the first two games, then CJ asked to be turned losse and everything changed.

Colt can still play in this league

A beg to differ as a Bucs native & fam our history on rookie QBs from PJ, Minshew ,Heineke against Brady 20 playoffs ,Kirk Cousins “you like that game “etc etc in the playoffs is why he playing now lol our D has always let them eat smh lol

As a panther fan i hate our owner more then anything possible. I knew stroud was gone be great but its lookin like hes going to be a Hall of famer in his first 5 years...smh i hate life rn i just wanna go back to 2015 with cam

Colt looks like he could be a freshman in college !!

DO I START STROUD OR BURROW NEXT WEEK AHHHHHHHHHHH

that corner had a bad day LOL

I truly do not know how Carolina would've drafted Bryce Young over CJ Stroud given the physical differences alone which is VITAL for the quarterback position, given that perhaps Drew Brees was the ONLY "short qb" in NFL history at 6ft to truly become an elite QB and Young is merely 5'10" & further how impressive CJ performed in the playoffs vs Georgia last year... I know for sure the Panthers will regret this for years to come ESPECIALLY given the fact they gave up so much to move up to #1 :-///

I feel like the Carolina panthers had miss their shot at drafting CJ Shroud in my opinion

11:48 "This is coaching...this is the antithesis of coaching." This is the antithesis of English comprehension.

Damn u look like colt McCoy lol

Crazy that he was better in college than Colt ever was.

I just can’t understand if you saw him play at The Ohio State University you know but if you wasn’t sure you saw the Georgia game right? If so how did he slip to the second pick you had to ignore your own 👀 eyes😂
