From the video

I think that we could see C.J. Stroud be a borderline quarterback one this year if everything comes together. And if it really works out and his yards per attempt get into, you know, well over the eight yards per attempt range, like at 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, we might see him as a quarterback one this year again.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

With improved offensive line and young talented receiving core, Stroud could be a borderline QB1 this year, and if yards per attempt reaches 8.2-8.4 range, he might finish as a QB1 again.
