Stroud, like every rookie QB, is just gonna have to adjust to the speed of the NFL and the fact that he doesn't have better athletes at WR than every defense he faces has at CB/S. The first completion to Collins was way late. That ball needed to be out a full 1-1.5 seconds sooner than it was. Can't wait to see what improvements he makes next week.
Of course the o-line was a problem but they didn't make him hold onto the ball way past the break on that first out to Collins. He's gotta speed that up.

WR was not the issue. It was his Oline.
