Texans’ Stroud gets backing as Ryans insists QB isn’t the problem
After Houston’s 28-16 playoff loss to New England, DeMeco Ryans publicly backed C.J. Stroud, saying the Texans don’t have a quarterback problem and that Stroud is still the franchise quarterback as he continues to grow from a historic rookie season into Year 3; the debate centers on whether Stroud can sustain elite play, even with a strong defense and high expectations set by his 2023 performance.
