From the episode
Don't overstate the splits with and without tank Dell for CJ Stroud, because Stroud was just not nearly as effective in general after that first year. I do think there are some underlying metrics where like Stroud isn't as bad as what people probably think. Like, I think Stroud could go through a, and, and end up having like a Jared Goff type career.
STACKED’s take
NeutralProjection
Stroud's decline isn't Tank Dell's fault; underlying metrics suggest Goff-like QB1/QB2 upside.
JJ Zachariason cautions against overstating Tank Dell's impact on CJ Stroud's fantasy performance; Stroud was not nearly as effective in general after his first year in the league, so the decline is not a Tank Dell problem but rather Stroud's overall regression. However, Zachariason notes underlying metrics suggest Stroud isn't as bad as perceived and could follow a Jared Goff-type career trajectory—solid QB1/QB2 fantasy value with the right system and weapons.
