CJ Stroud looks absolutely amazing and on a team that I would say is on par with our roster at best.
Poles said all along he needed to be blown away to stick at #1 and take a QB last year. By the time the combine rolled around he all but announced to the world the pick was for sale. I understand Fields showed flashes towards the end of last year and that played into that decision.
Fast forward to now and Stroud is blowing everyone away.
I think it's fair to question what our staff missed on Stroud to be out on him immediately and whether or not we should be worried about them making the next decision on who our QB is.
20/20 hindsight -- I would much rather have Stroud instead of the DJ Moore package and it's not even close. Give me a franchise QB and figure out the rest of the line and WRs after that.
20/20 hindsight is Stroud w/ the Texans, not the Bears. Stroud made it very clear he had no desire to go to Chicago. Stroud idolizes Justin Fields; Fields is a big reason why he went to Ohio State. He would have had no trust in an organization that his mind ruined Fields. And some of that pre-draft chatter about him being difficult to coach is kinda accurate--if he doesn't trust you. Stroud and Chicago would not have been a good fit.
