It’s an exciting time to be a Houston Texans fan, which is something that hasn’t happened very often in franchise history.
That’s what happens when you get one of the best young quarterbacks in the game, and it didn’t take long before C.J. Stroud proved to be just that.
Stroud is fresh off one of the greatest rookie seasons this game has ever seen, and the expectation is that he’s going to be even better next season and for years to come.
With that in mind, the guys at the Million Dollars Worth of Game podcast asked him to rank his top five quarterbacks in the league, and he had a somewhat shocking list.
He chose Jalen Hurts at No. 5, Dak Prescott at No. 4, himself at No. 3, Lamar Jackson at No. 2, and Patrick Mahomes at No.1 (via Sarah Ellison).

While those are all very good quarterbacks, it didn’t take long before the fans called him out for having Dak Prescott above other players.

I would swap Allen in for Dak.

Dak over Allen is crazyy

Take Dak out for Burrow.

Truth be told, and no disrespect to Prescott whatsoever, but he’s not a top-five quarterback in the league, and that’s perfectly fine.
Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, and Aaron Rodgers are all clearly better players, and some could even make cases for the likes of Kirk Cousins, Matthew Stafford, Justin Herbert, and even maybe Jared Goff if you get to nitpick.
Then again, at the end of the day, everything is subjective, and he has every right to like Dak or anybody else better; that’s the beauty of sports.
