I don't know. If he threw the ball when his back foot hit the ground... either of those two on top would have been fine. The first guy, to Cj's right... the ball might have been batted down, he might have got a PI called. The other guy coming from the left, hit him in stride could have been a TD.
Yes. Cj shouldn't have been crying when Tank was devastatingly injured. But, if he's going to cry make the game worth it. Much better for Tank to get injured on the play that boosted the Texans over the king.
I don't think I was this sour on Carr until his third season... halfway through I think. But at that time I was done with Carr.
I think they're really close friends. Tank, despite his diminutive size, was always one of the biggest and most vocal supporters of CJ.
I get it.
That's beyond obvious.
Stupid movie. Talking about Carry On. I'd willingly sacrifice anything and everything I love to save thousands of people. Maybe I'm built different. I've also had a lot of loss, so what's the difference?
To be fair… he wasn’t exactly a willing hero until the end. Even then… they were gonna kill his girlfriend.
I agree with you on that. Still overall he has done a good job. Then again who knows how much poor coaching may play in regards to the offensive line.
Very astute observation. I have nothing to counter.
Plays were there to be made again this week that didn't get made . (Again)
I agree with you. However I have seen CJ misfire on some easy passes that had nothing to do with Slowik or a bad O-line or his being a baby in this game. He has to settle down and get his focus back to where he capitalizes on what should be easy throws that he has missed this season. I think all in all CJ has done a fair job but we can't put all the blame on other factors outside of CJ just as we can't blame CJ for all his struggles all around.
everything is black and white with you…too bad the real world doesn’t quite work like that. So u gonna tell me Joe Burrow hasn’t missed open guys before? You really gonna tell me Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes hell TB12 haven’t succumbed to pressure before? A year after he led the Patriots to the SB, TB12 and the pats went 8-8 missed the playoffs and Tom Brady looked like a regular ass dude.
Are you saying Burrow hasn't been under severe pressure this year and he's still producing. Like I said you've got a higher opinion of Taylor than most.
No i just don’t like dumb takes And you do this all the time. Acting as if the things and situations are comparable just b/c there are surface level similarities when in actuality they’re not. Once again these guys don’t perform in vacuums so comparing a 2nd year guy with a **** o-line and depleted WR corps to a guy in his 5th year whose throwing to 2 of the best WR’s in the game is asinine.
Well that ish works. I'd rather my QB whine, lobby, even flop to benefit the team than take 10+ yard sacks, run out of bounds behind the LOS, or out the back of the end zone (even kickers know better).
Hating on greatness, I want the QB of the team I root for to be as close to Brady like as possible. Kiss the rings.
Like I said, same issue different emphasis. What is S2roud supposed to do when he's dealing with less than ideal situations around him?
You're right, things dont happen in a vacuum and I'm fine with letting Slowik go as long as they can bring in a vet OC like McDaniels or Daboll.
And those plays were there to be made if Hutch/Schultz could block worth a crap.
You might not wanna hear this, but he's already got that new fat contract based on the promise he showed his rookie year.............. and even this year............. based on the fact that we're headed back to the playoffs for the 2nd straight year.
I realize this and it's why I hope he improves. But if he doesn't improve he shouldn't be getting Lawrence money. If that's what DM wants they should let him walk. Because signing him long term is relegating the Texans to mediocrity. Kind like a lower class Moon or an upper class Schaub.
I've just never seen a champion breakdown on the field like that and it should make you wonder too.
And it should have been evident early on that Schultz and Hutch were simply blocking turnstiles.
On the field is irrelevant to me. The guy is from a different generation and I have kids his age. They’re dramatic like that.
Has nothing to do with DM…this is the league…..& We’ll be lucky if it’s “just” Lawrence money. By then, that’ll be a steal of a deal if we get him for that.
What do you think about promoting Johnson?
I think there's something here. Not just when Tank got hurt, but before that. The Defense was balling against Miami & S2roud was moping on the bench by himself. He was so distraught he couldn't share his teammates glory in the moment.
That's what he's saying, regardless he's getting the 5th year option & the extension because of his rookie season. It's a done deal. You're setting yourself up for disappointment if you believe different.
I think he just has 1 of those faces to where if he isn’t out right smiling or talking, people just assume something’s amiss. I only say that b/c I have one of those faces. Can’t tell you how many people I work with that I am now very good friends with who told me “you looked mean & I didn’t wanna mess with you”… only for them to find out that’s not me at all and I’m just a big ass goof ball..but won’t speak if you don’t speak to me.
They're going to extend him after next yr. That's what DM clients get (Extended after the 3rd yr, like the Pervert got extended.) Guess what an extension with a DM client means? Nothing, See: Derrick
I absolutely love Johnson and think one day he will eventually become a HC. With this said, Johnson is the QB coach and his pupil is having a bad yr, so for that reason I want Slowik/Strausser/Johnson to all be let go and veteran asst coaches be brought in. I'm thinking McDaniels/Munchak/Olsen for OC/OL/QB coach. If they want to go young then go with Keenum as QB coach.
It's mostly a DM issue.
With you it is, reality is this is the qb market. ESPN just got thru showing a graphic on the Monday night broadcast talking about Purdy’s upcoming contract & how stupid it is these contracts for Qb’s are ballooning higher & higher simply b/c of being “the next guy up”.
I dont think that QB's should be re-upped until after yr 4. What he did with Derrick after signing a record contract months earlier told me all I need to know about that slimey SOB. Not to mention the Houstoian crap.
He has been moping on the bench all season long.
CJ has had a mostly poor o-line and poor coaching with key injuries and our team still has met early season expectations with a tough schedule. It is always easy to scapegoat young Qb's but there are many factors that people choose to overlook. Yes CJ isn't without blame. His lack of accuracy on more passes this season and throwing more int's this season can't be overlooked but I don't think CJ has done a bad job at Qb all in all. Let's give him another season with some needed changes to determine whether he is a franchise Qb and a big part of our future.
I think it is better for CJ to mope than to play the blame game and push his teammates under the bus! His moping shows that he gives a darn! To me that is better than if he was nonchalant and had little to no emotion!
What do QBs that win SBs look like on the sidelines? I've never seen one with the look CJ has had this year and that doesn't bode well for the future. Hopefully he grows up and puts in the badly needed work this off-season.
CJ has had a decent season considering other factors and nothing about this season says to me what has or hasn't done doesn't bode well for the future. He is only in his second season and Qb's in their second aren't looking like future HOF's! His look is hardly a reason to write him off! At the beginning of the season what record did you expect us to have? I figured we would finish with anywhere from 8 to 10 wins. I saw other posters did as well. Seeing this season unfold I am more encouraged than discouraged. With better health, a few new coaches and less critical injuries I think we could be the next Detroit Lions!
What do you do when your play caller is as much, if not more, the reason your situation is less than ideal? Stroud has had his issues this season. Mahomes has had his struggles, but he has Reid calling his plays, one of the best ever to do it. Burrow has a proven OC and an all-star cast of receivers to throw to.
Burrow is having a great season and I will not minimize his performance to make a point. Prior to this season. The knock on him has been he holds the ball too long, contributes to his sacks and might be overrated. To drive the Stroud is weak minded narrative, you have made Burrow with twice as many games played as the benchmark. Yet, this benchmark, has a career 37-30 record? Would you be happy if Stroud kept his emotion in check, stood in the pocket and the Texans' record with Stroud was 37-30? Remember, stats are for losers and Burrow's cap hit will be 15% next year.
I'll take a SB appearance and an AFCCG appearance that they should've won if not for being Chief'ed. BTW, The reason the record is what it is , Burrow has been hurt and missed significant time in 2 of his 5 seasons which has lead to that record. His only healthy season of not making a SB or AFCCG is this record setting season. I dont see Burrow holding onto the ball to long. Also I've never seen Burrow crying or pouting on the sideline, maybe you have?
