If the first four starts of C.J. Stroud's Houston Texans career feel familiar, it should. The last time a rookie quarterback captured the hearts, minds, and wallets of ticket buying, web surfing Houstonians the way Stroud has this past month happened fairly recently. It was in 2017, when Deshaun Watson took over as the Texans' starting quarterback in Week 2 of that season, defeated the Cincinnati Bengals on the road, and never looked back. Well, for a few years, at least.
There is an"apples and oranges" element to these stats, as Watson was asked to do far morewith his legs than Stroud, hence the 163 rushing yards. Watson threw more touchdowns, buoyed by a five TD outburst in his fourth start against the Chiefs. Stroud continues to extend his record of the most pass attempts without an interception to begin a career.
It's hard to parse out which 2-2 record was more impressive. Watson's most impressive outing may have been the three point loss to the Patriots as a two touchdown underdog. Stroud has destroyed two playoff hopefuls in the Jaguars and Steelers.Deshaun Watson had the single best player among both sporting casts with All Pro wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins. Add in Will Fuller and Lamar Miller, and that's a solid group.
