CJ Stroud’s long-range TD has hit the right mark and should have silenced Colin Cowherd. Before the start of the regular season, Colin Cowherd had raised questions regarding the young QB’s capabilities. He was unsure of Stroud overcoming all the troubles his team had and being able to adjust in the side as a rookie QB.

However, the football player has earned his place well enough in the side. After recovering from injury Stroud’s presence has bolstered the Texan’s offense once again. In a must-win week 18 game against the Colts, Stroud opened his team’s account by throwing the ball for a long 75-yard TD. Dov Kleiman noticed the same and pointed out Cowherd’s take.

CJ Stroud responded to critics with an astonishing performance

Dov Kleiman updated a post on X and addressed the turnaround situation, “C.J. Stroud “is not talented enough” to overcome his surroundings in Houston.” He clarified that the statement was made by Colin Cowherd on 8/8/23 and shared the respective video.

Above the video, he wrote about Cowherd’s judgment as, “Worst take of 2023?” Cowherd first questioned the Texan’s team: “Rookie defensive head coach, Rookie offensive coordinator, Weird owner, below average roster.” He then raised his concerns over, “Not talented enough to overcome that.”  Forget overcoming, CJ Stroud’s staggering performance in the season has silenced all the naysayers for good. After winning the game 29-13, CJ Stroud and his team are ready to take the next step.
