From the episode

I really think C.J. Stroud is that good of a quarterback, to be honest... after what I saw in his rookie season, it's just felt like regression city ever since.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Stroud showing regression since rookie year; pocket issues limit receiver upside.

The source questions whether Stroud is as good as his rookie season suggested, noting that his play has felt like 'regression city ever since.' Concerns center on his ability to provide adequate pocket time for deep-ball threats like Nico Collins, and the source is skeptical of his overall quarterback play. The offensive line issues compound the problem, making it difficult for Stroud to execute the vertical passing game needed to support his receivers' fantasy value.
