FIRST THINGS FIRST | Nick Wright BLAMES CJ Stroud For Houston Texans LOSS | NFL

33 comments

1. Texans need to move on from stroud

2. I only watched the first half because that was just an ugly game, but to me it looked like the O-line was a major factor. It looked like he didnt have time to do anything

3. Cj played bad, but guys were dropping balls everywhere.

4. Hurts is 0-3 on wildcard weekend 😂

5. Don’t forget Mixon out too. There some times where I think he wants to run but hesitates. Reccomend he reaches out to Brady/ Brees over the offseason.

6. With all the blunders, Oline cost us 4 in the red zone, and Marks was just running into guys, no outside runs what ever. He also gave it up when momentum was shifting

7. Trade stroud please ive defended him but cant anymore.
   Stroud has the physical gifts but hes not there mentality wise. He didn't have Schultz because he kept throwing hospital balls a d behind nah hes not it at the moment.
   If you havw to have everything in place you aint a top QB

8. I couldnt believe how many people picked texans over pats last week. That oline, missing his 2 best weapons, snow…this was never gonna be a good game for stroud.

9. Nah let him walk, sign Milik Willisand then sign the defense, ain't no way we're letting hunter walk because of this bum

10. My problem with Stroud has more to do with his accuracy of being consistently behind receivers (which even injured his TE trying to adjust and catch the ball) or high (which leads to more picks).

11. CJ Stroud is trash stop trying to make up for stuff for his deficiencies. He’s got worse and worse and worse just to be real. He’s body language moping and whiny body language; not a good look when you’re supposed to be the face of the franchise.

12. It was genuinely the worst performance by a QB I've ever watched live

13. Need a strong oline and run game to help out QBs with a toolset like Stroud. If you’re in the AFC you have to have a team that can run the ball at will when temperatures drop or you play in inclement weather.

14. I still believe in my boy Stroud unlike these fake ahhh fans he’s been to the playoffs his whole career and he’s still young, they need to go into this offseason and target offensive wepons especially O-lineman in FA or the Draft

15. Don’t think he’s getting that second contract unless he gets afc chip appearance or a mvp next season

16. CJ Stroud struggles to control his emotions. Moments like this clearly dictate his demeanor and attitude, and that lack of composure eventually shows up in his play. Because of that, he’s likely to fall into a slump and won’t consistently operate at the level the team will need from him long-term. This moment will linger, and when the pressure mounts, he’ll be rattled. He peaked early, and now it looks like a sharp slide toward decline and eventually free agency. 😂

17. Bias and insanity is so obvious … Bills vs Texans, Bills have 3 turnovers, Josh Allen gets sacked 8 times, "experts" conclude Texans are a generational, nei, historic defense! Pats play Texans, get 5 turnovers, 3 sacks, hold Texans to 16 points, 1.1 rush yards per carry, "experts" conclude C.J. Stroud sux. No mention of the Pats played an insane defense against the Chargers and against the Texans. Give 0 credit to the Pats defense.

18. flaco wins that game

19. Boy the amount of pressure he is gonna be under next year

20. I watched this game and yes I understand the Texans had injuries, but I’m not giving CJ stroud a second contract. He is not clutch, and he’s not good in bad weather or cold games. Shit man, if I’m Houston I’m already planning my escape.

21. Cj deserves 11 counts of manslaughter for what he put his defense thru yesterday

22. If qb has had back to back game play as stroud why not put in mills. Mills is more conservative in his play calling which may have led to less turnovers and changed dynamic of game imo.

23. I think everyone was rooting for cj but right off bat he was missing open passes. Cj didnt win games for texans over steelers it was d

24. CJ melts down. It’s called choking. It is what it is. I’ll never trust him again

25. Stroud had 7 turnovers in last two games

26. He was just as bad in the Steelers game when he had Nico Collins, Dalton Shultz, and Mark ran for over 140 yards. So what's your excuse now??😂

27. That was awful from Stroud…. Completely wasted that defense

28. He got an 18 on the S2 cognitive test and it shows. He is dumb. I’d rather have Mills play who might not have the arm but he has the accuracy and brains to win.

29. It looked like CJ Stroud was just straight, throwing it to the patriots cornerbacks. It wasn’t like the Patriots were playing good defense when the quarterbacks throwing them in the fucking ball, I can guarantee you. He had a fucking injured hand and probably didn’t tell nobody or they hid it. He was favoring that hand.

30. And one more thing, you know, it’s bad when the announcers are questioning whether their head coach is gonna put in the back up quarterback because it was that obvious he probably would have done a better job

31. Tbh I think if we play this game at home we win and stroud has a much better game, it was snowing and raining at the same time

32. Almost all his passes were off target. He injured a TE by throwing behind him, a rare hospital ball where no one gets hit. He missed wide open receivers high or threw it wild, even that first interception. And not prepping for terrible weather and going to New England is stupid.. not unfortunate… stupid… the history of NE is surrounded with crazy January weather. That's why it's homefield advantage. Complaining about that is like complaining about the dome Houston is in for being too static. Bottom line, he played poorly, didn't show signs of being able to recover from that, and that means he's at best streaky.

33. You are making too many excuses for him. None of that have anything to do with his bad decisions and inaccurate passes. He been doing that all year. If you think CJ can still be elite after watching that game you are delusional and part of the problem.
