Ron Stewart on C.J. Stroud

Elite accuracy; weak run game forces frequent dropbacks, top-10 in pass attempts.

C.J. Stroud is playing at an elite level, charting in the upper right cluster with Dak Prescott, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Trevor Lawrence, Jared Goff, Brock Purdy, and Lamar Jackson in terms of accuracy rate versus actual efficiency. Stroud was drafted as a lower-tier top-10 QB, but the Texans' weak run game forces him to drop back frequently, and he is among the top 10 in pass attempts over expectation this season. His elite QB performance is the key driver of the Texans passing offense ceiling expansion.
