From their perspective he’s too white and from the franchise in the city they think should have never had a franchise. They overlook that Buffalo, Cinci, Green Bay, etc. are small markets in less desirable places and that the Chargers are a homeless team nobody wants.

As far as CJ goes, he caught a lot of attention for playing as well as he has as a rookie. There’s a lot to like about him if he weren’t in our division. I wish the Falcons could have gotten him. He’s confident and an accurate passer. And he’s a good character kid.

Trevor gets a TON of respect and acclaim from the media.  

Stroud is new, and he's already really good, and that's why the media are fawning over him.  As they should.  Because he looks like he could be really great.  It has nothing to do with anything else.  He's the latest new thing, and that's why he's getting a lot of attention.

Watch the broadcasts. It's never opening with discussion of Trevor, the team in control of the division, or anything like that. They open with the other stuff and someone interjects Trevor or the Jags into the conversation, like a "don't forget about these guys too" kinda garbage.

Even the last game, near career high for Trevor if not new mark, set a mark for most 40+ yard completions in a game, yet the immediate analysis was a slurp-fest of Fields.

In the end it doesn't matter, it's just nice when you don't have to beg for (earned) regard. At the moment, the Jags were the top seed in the AFC, and the conversation centered on the losing team. Just goofballs.
