00:00 CJ Stroud is winning in Texas for another team there
00:04 that doesn't get nearly as much attention
00:06 as the Dallas Cowboys set a rookie record
00:09 for passing yards in a win over the Bucs.
00:11 So Claudette, CJ Stroud is?
00:14 - This is not a super original word,
00:17 but I'm gonna say that he's just really impressive.
00:19 I mean, 470 passing yards yesterday,
00:22 five touchdowns, set a new NFL record.
00:25 He kind of looks like he should have been
00:27 the number one overall pick right now.
00:28 And he impressed Baker Mayfield yesterday as well too
00:31 after the game, Baker said,
00:33 he's not playing like an NFL rookie.
00:35 He looks like a polished NFL QB.
00:38 So that's my word.
00:39 - CJ Stroud is a franchise changer.
00:42 That's what he is.
00:43 CJ Stroud is a franchise changer.
00:44 He's changing a few franchises.
00:46 One, the Houston Texans, who now matter.
00:49 You know, I've never thought about the Texans,
00:51 never really cared at all about the Texans.
00:54 I picked them up on my fantasy team earlier in the season,
00:56 and now I'm interested in Texans games.
00:59 He was brilliant in that one.
01:01 46 seconds left, leading them to the win.
01:03 The other franchise he changed is the Carolina Panthers.
01:06 'Cause I don't think it's a maybe,
01:07 they should have taken Stroud with the number one pick.
01:09 That doesn't mean Bryce Young is a complete boss
01:12 or a failure or anything like that,
01:13 but I believe I've seen enough to know
01:15 he's not gonna be what CJ Stroud has already proven to be,
01:19 which is currently a top 10 quarterback in the league.
