Stroud era on Sunday, shellacking division rival Jacksonville, 37-17, on the road.<\/p>\n<p>At the dawn of his NFL career, Stroud has looked the part of a franchise quarterback through three games.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The best thing that happened to the Houston Texans franchise was us beating the Indianapolis Colts last game, last year,&#8221; tight end Brevin Jordan said Sunday, via ESPN&#8217;s DJ Bien-Aime. &#8220;We drafted the right guy. Man, he&#8217;s a leader. He&#8217;s a phenomenal player and a phenomenal guy with God-given talent. Dude, he&#8217;s unbelievable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>          <span>            Related Links          <\/span>        <\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>              2023 NFL season, Week 3: What We Learned from Sunday&#x27;s games            <\/li>\n<li>              Five trends that came into focus in Week 3: Dolphins&#x27; dynamic offense, reality checks for two NFC teams            <\/li>\n<li>              2023 NFL season, Week 3: Notable injuries, news from Sunday&#x27;s games            <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It&#8217;s hard to argue with Jordan after Stroud shined on a day the two other first-round rookie QBs missed due to injury. Still, there is a long way to go before making any definitive statement on the careers of Stroud, Bryce Young and Anthony Richardson.<\/p>\n<p>In three games, Stroud has posted 906 passing yards, third-most by a rookie QB in their first three career games since 1970 &#8212; Cam Newton (1,012), Justin Herbert (931). He&#8217;s added four touchdowns and zero interceptions. His 121 pass attempts without an interception are the most through a player&#8217;s first three career starts (Warren Moon with 103).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have great guys around me,&#8221; Stroud said. &#8220;Nothing I can do without those guys up front battling, the receiver running the right route at the right depth, [offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik] calling the right plays at the right time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sunday, Stroud proved poised in the pocket, made the right read repeatedly, avoided pressure and displayed pinpoint accuracy. He finished 20-of-30 for 280 yards with two touchdowns and wasn&#8217;t sacked after taking 11 the first two weeks. The rookie shined against pressure, completing 8 of 12 passes for 115 yards and a TD for a 125.3 passer rating versus pressure. Stroud burned the blitz by dropping a pretty 68-yard bomb to Tank Dell for the game-sealing TD.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Everything starts with the quarterback,&#8221; head coach DeMeco Ryans. &#8220;We have a good one who&#8217;s done really good things. He&#8217;s improved every week. That&#8217;s what I really like and admire about C.J., he&#8217;s dialed in to improving every week. He&#8217;s not satisfied. He&#8217;s been a leader for us for the offensive unit, and it&#8217;s impressive to see a young man go out and continue to get better each week and lead that group.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Through three weeks, Stroud has shown splendid improvement and the ability to function despite less-than-ideal blocking and next to no run support. The key for the rookie is how he responds as defenses get more tape on his tendencies and start taking things away.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/texans-drafted-the-right-guy-as-c-j-stroud-makes-history-in-first-win-over-jags\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Houston Texans earned the first win of the C.J.
