I'll back you up here. Not for Stroud in particular because I haven't yet watched enough. But generally, avoiding sacks is a QB skill you wouldn't be able to tell just from looking at numbers. Manning and Marino are by far the best QB's at avoiding sacks and it wasn't because they always had stellar protection.

Conflating correlation with causation.
