From the episode

CJ Stroud, I think a lot of people remember how he ended the year. And he's had his ups and downs since a very promising rookie year. But last year wasn't all bad.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Stroud's upside remains high despite a poor postseason finish

Stroud is viewed as a high-upside quarterback despite a poor postseason finish; the market is overly fixated on that small sample. He showed promise in his rookie year and maintained solid underlying metrics like EPA per play success despite poor offensive line play, lack of a run game, and receiver injuries. He is expected to benefit from increased comfort in the offense and a potential improvement in the rushing attack.
