NFL Snooze News: Volume Four, Por Favor

Houston’s C.J. Stroud is having one of the best rookie seasons a quarterback has ever had.

Through nine games, Stroud has 2,625 passing yards, which puts him on pace for 4,958 yards in a 17-game season. That would obliterate the current rookie record of 4,374 yards, set by Andrew Luck in 2012. At his current pace, Stroud would break Luck’s record in the 15th game of this season.

Stroud has also thrown just two interceptions in 318 passes, an interception on just 0.63 percent of his attempts, which would also be a rookie record. The record is currently owned by Dak Prescott, who threw interceptions on 0.87 percent of his passes as a rookie in 2016.

And Stroud is also on pace for 28 touchdown passes, which would be the second-most ever by a rookie. The record is 31, set by Justin Herbert in 2020.

Stroud is running away with the offensive rookie of the year award. He may be one of the best offensive rookies the NFL has ever seen.

Who is the Texans OC? Is he a candidate to poached in the offseason?

Bobby Slowik.

Not sure if he'd be ready, but he fits the mold of a young/upcoming offensive mind... from the Shannahan tree.

Also spent three years working at PFF between gigs with the Redskins and 49ers.

It should be noted that Stroud's QB coach was the Vikings' assistant QB coach just last season...the former journeyman QB, Jerrod Johnson.  He may be on the fast-track to being an OC.  I'm not sure who should get more credit for Stroud's success, Slowik or Johnson.

for a myriad of reasons, the Browns going with Watson was a poorly thought out decision.

It certainly was a high-stakes gamble...and it hasn't paid off at all.  It was a gamble that eventually leads to people getting fired, but that franchise has been so bad and so unstable for years, if they can sustain any modicum of success while still being unable to get out of that deal until 2027, they may look past it.

no more hooded sweatshirts though? trading them in for Hawaiian shirts and flip flops?

I don't know...it'll be 90 degrees outside and my father in law will continue to wear long-sleeved flannels and he's only about 10 yrs older than Bill.  Bill may still decide to wear the sweatshirts.  🤣
