So, one could credibly claim that Stroud is most similar statistically to Kirk Cousins. Since Williams is a holdover from the other list then we can add his name as an obvious second choice... Is that worth 60 or 65 million dollars? That is obviously the 65 million dollar question.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Stroud's contract value depends on offensive system; could justify $60-65M with better coordination.

Stroud is statistically most similar to Kirk Cousins (appears three times in category-by-category analysis) and Caleb Williams (appears twice), with Drake Maye also ranking as one of the two most similar QBs in composite ranking; the source argues Stroud's contract value hinges on offensive system design—if given a Ben Johnson-type coordinator and proper offensive line support, he could be worth $60-65 million, but current play-calling constraints and offensive line limitations artificially depress his value proposition.
