NFL Network’s Kurt Warner on CJ Stroud’s Head-Scratching Regression | The Rich Eisen Show

1. I think I'm catching onto the fact that CJ Stroud didn't play a defense last Sunday. He just fell down and lost the game on his own. There was no other team on the field. Strangest thing

2. He's playing scared.

3. keep drafting dummies cause they are tall or can run fast instead of smart players like brady or manning and this will continue to happen

4. He was terrible yes but I think recency bias is getting the better of everyone.

   He's got all the physical tools, was insanely incredible as a rookie and was fine in the regular season of this year with a 61.8 qbr and 72.9 pff grade. I've seen qbs with far worse beginnings to their career who were able to bounce back. He'll figure it out would be foolish if the Texans gave up on him already.

5. The player has had multiple concussions that has resulted in missed time. A concussion is a brain injury, let alone several. No one says it out loud, but looking at the dramatic change in his play from his rookie year, the possibility of lingering effects has to be acknowledged.

6. jesus kriest! its hard to play when youre on your back! he's had no help for 3 years and now has ptsd from being hit SO DAMN MUCH! he needs counseling and texans needs a new line other than usery.

7. Is Warner wearing eye liner makeup?? 👁

8. Is Kurt Warner wearing the same eye liner as JD Vance?😀😀

9. Houston should have looked at the 17% score on the S2 cognitive test a little more closely.

10. Did Kurt get a face lift?

11. When CJ makes his comeback I hope he never speaks to yall again.. Yall drug him through the mud.. It’s one thing to mentioned what happened.. it’s another thing to embarrass any more than he’s probably embarrassed… What a brotherhood

12. I’m a Patriots fan so not making excuses for Stroud but if he sucks so bad how did they win ten in a row? Rain and snow and an underrated Pats defense contributed to his bad game.

13. CJ was having trouble handling snaps. He’s struggling with the fundamentals it seems. Peeps want to blame the OC and scheme but an OC can’t fix your fumbling or mishandling snaps.

14. CJ had a terrible oline in 2024 and got his 1st concussion, in 2025 the line had a rookie LT and bargain bin players and he got his 2nd concussion and clearly did not like the new offense. He has to play like he did in his rookie year to warrant being the starter. We saw Mills go 3-0. CJ needs a better OL in 26.

15. What the hell happened to Kurt’s face??

16. If CJ had spiked the ball on every play, he would have a higher QB rating than he did in the game.

17. NE seemed to know the plays Caley was calling
