From the episode

his footwork is just holistically...still bad. He's just way too inaccurate on these off throw on these like off platform throws...that final sack that fumble that was a hundred percent on him...he starts on the 18 and his drop takes him all the way back to the 29 yard line. That's an 11 yard drop off of a shotgun snap. You do not ever go back 11 yards on a shotgun snap...this is a rookie mistake...you're what year three and we're still doing this? Like, what are we doing? I think it's year four. You're four. It's even worse.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Stroud's year-four footwork and pocket presence issues raise concerns despite solid quick throws.

Despite some solid quick throws, Stroud's footwork and pocket presence remain concerning in year four; took an 11-yard drop on a shotgun snap (should be max 10 yards) on the final sack/fumble, failed to step up into the pocket, and showed inaccuracy on off-platform throws—described as rookie mistakes that undermine confidence in his development trajectory.
