STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Stroud's struggles may persist if offensive line and playcalling issues aren't resolved.

The source raises concern that Stroud may be more broken from last January than initially thought; his struggles are framed as a central risk factor for the 2026 season. The team's offensive improvement hinges on whether the offensive line, playcalling, and coordinator issues have resolved the problems that caused his previous struggles. If these foundational issues persist, Stroud's performance could remain compromised.
