He should shave that goatee 😂
How does a hair cut changes how he plays 😂
True Texans fans support CJ, has made the playoffs every year since coming to The league.
Each dread is a pick he threw.
I'm not sure I how I feel about Stroud right now. I'm not even sure what stage of grief I'm in. Been in denial, been angry, I'm totally past the bargaining, the depression has set into acceptance of the situation. Was totally done with stroud…now it's like I almost feel sorry for the guy with all the National attention, humiliation and belittling he's had to endure. I still have a hard time wrapping my mind around the easiest path to the Super Bowl I've ever seen in my lifetime completely destroyed by the most idiotic QB play I've ever seen…and I've been following the 1-13 Oilers since 1972-73 as a Houstonian. Not even the Bum's Doctor Doom/Curly Culp Oilers had a better defense deserving of a Super Bowl
He looks more soft and weak now which matches his personality better so there's that.
CJ STROUD DOES LOOK GOOD AND I REALLY DO BELIEVE THAT HE WILL TAKE US TO A SUPER BOWL. AND TANK DELL IS BACK, HE GOING TO REALLY SURPRISE EVERYONE THIS SEASON TEXANS SWARM GO TEXANS
"All Vengeance 26"
Bruh this changes nothing. He needs to change his anti anxiety medication instead. He needs to change his attitude and mindset. He single-handedly defeated his #1 defense. Someone needs to check his bank balance because he did a good job at torpedoing the Texans. If he is the QB next year then the Texans front office has no foresight and will ruin their defense on purpose.
Tua 2.0
He would like to be known as Coleridge Bernard now.
I don't care about some man's stupid braids.
I care about his performance and it's trash.
I'm not forgetting 2025 playoff season anytime soon.
Stroud: Just a little of the top please.
Barber: After that game against NE there's not much up there to cut.
Stroud: (crying)
True Texans fans DO NOT support CJ Stroud. ‘Soccer mom fans’ do.Let’s make the distinction. We have never had a franchise QB in our org’s history, and to let yet another pretender ‘handcuff’ our franchise for another 5 years is criminal. There’s a reason the Pats are back. They didn’t resign Mac Jones
This episode got wild 3/4 of the way 😭😭😂
