The NFL is built around the quarterback. Any team without a good quarterback, whether due to availability issues or talent acquisition constraints, will be challenged to compete throughout a 17-game season. No doubt the quickest way to take a team down a notch is to dissociate the field general from the game.
Although the Houston Texans haven’t had the best quarterback play in recent seasons, the potential resides in rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud. Without taking a single snap yet, it can be argued the former Ohio State product is the most essential player on the roster — just because of how the league is constructed.
