CJ Stroud year 3

Well props for being so positive about your negativity!

In my world, for decades, props were propellers usually referring to high-speed boats. Then I found out that prop could mean compliment. Now I'm being told that there is a rule about negatives. I did not do well in that class either. But then again, I did not do very well in any class. I am very positive about that fact which led to a negative result.

Yea ikr also think CJ took it hard when his buddy WR friend was doing so good and then went horribly down with severe injuries. You could see it in his face when he was there next to him laying in the end zone. Game stopped stretchers came out a very solemn quiet moment in the stadium. It was almost like losing a loved one.

Yes, was clearly traumatic for several of the players including CJ. Having said that...if CJ allowed the horrific injury of his friend to impact his performance for the rest of the year, he's SAWWWWFFFFT and probably not traditional franchise QB material. Just saying.

Unpopular take:

This also makes me think about all the other QBs/players on the team of years past that would witness gruesome and sometimes life-altering injuries, only to go out there and be seemingly unaffected by it. CJ was bawling his eyes out and looked like he needed his blankey. I know, I know, I'm just an old man, times have changed, etc etc but I can't help but cringe when I see a grown man cry. I gained a ton of respect for the players of yesteryear. PS - I definitely was saddened by Dell's injury, so I get it, I'm just from another time.

Not being able to show emotion or cry has led thousands of military veterans to have mental health issues today. There's also a silence code that you should not share painful experiences unless it's with a brother veteran. That's one of the reasons thousands of vets commit suicide every year. I have talked to hundreds over the years from my Vietnam era to many other 'skirmishes' across the world and all were ashamed or had guilt. Other people who were involved in shootings, fires, etc.
It doesn't have to be combat related. I have four neighbors currently that are veterans and have mental health issues.
 
CJ’s emotions were definitely with his friend who had appeared to have finally rebounded from his injury and was beginning to look like himself again. That grisly injury was so unfortunate. I only hope Tank makes his way back so the Texans WR Room features Nico, Higgins, Kirk, Noel, and Dell in 2026. If this group rounds out nicely this season and gets Dell back next season….it’ll be fun to watch and hail to defend.
 
Had he won the game... I wouldn't complain. Use that emotion & raise your level of play. Get mad, then get even.

Cry & continue to get your but whipped.... continue to play at that level none of us want to see. In 2025... sorry. He's not a winner. We're going to have to hope Lamar Jackson is hurt if we're ever going to beat Baltimore. We'll have to depend on injuries to have even odds against a gimpy Mahomes in the playoffs.

Ive got nothing against guys that cry, even guys who cry in public. But guys who cry in public & continue to take a buttwhoopin... c'mon. He's soft.
 
Dude gets sacked 52 times, starts 19 games and is soft? It’s a team sport. Ridiculous. With time he’ll continue to grow and improve at maintaining focus in even the most horrific situations. He ain’t soft. That take is though.

I need to see a whole lot more from CJ and what's blocking for him and what's catching his passes before I think he's soft

Did your neighbors have mental health issues before they joined the military?

I would prefer the leader of the team not bawl like a baby when a teammate gets injured. I never saw Montana/Brady/Manning/Favre/Staubach/Bradshaw/Elway etc.... react like that to a teammate being injured.

Good question. All I know is what they have provided to me . They each have said no mental health issues prior to military. As TK said, I would prefer Stroud to shake it off and get back into it, if not that game then the next for certain. I just tried not to judge people and the way they handle their emotions.
