Did some folks, including some Coli brehs, crown CJ Stroud too soon?

The right way, the wrong way and the Max Power way
You gotta do better than this

The Texans Offensive Line is not good and they didn't address it.

They went and got Stephon Diggs instead of signing a lineman

When you watch CJ he's skittish because they can't protect him
Real shyt.

I even see him tapping the ball when he's waiting in the pocket, dude is frazzled.

Thats modern sports talk for you...we do everything too early :russ:. Then blame the athletes/teams like we aint do it. This ain't Madden...these are humans. There are ups and downs...there are struggles. He could go on to be the GOAT. He could be a dude that had a nice rookie year and that was it. He could be a great QB. We dont know and cant know until it happens :manny:

We only crowned him to shyt on Bryce Young, we don't really want anybody to be good. We just like being haters. You can be negative after every game, but if someone plays well just say he gotta do it in the playoffs .

And the best part is most players don't have Stans so you don't even get push, everybody comes in to pile in. It's legit the best thing about sports

I saw the same thing happening with Jayden Daniels and you see how fast he went from MVP candidate to not even the leading candidate for rookie of the year anymore. You have to give these young QBs at least 3 seasons before we start crowning them. I say 3 seasons because it gives them a year to adjust to how defensives have adjusted to them and get over the sophomore slump.

It was a special season though. There is a very short list of QBs in the running and he definitely belongs on there.
It was a great season but Marino has a way better rookie year in way harder era

The numbers were comparable, which too your point makes it advantage Marino from that standpoint. But Marino fell to a good Dolphins team. NOBODY had HOU being anything last year. So not only making the playoffs but winning a game on top of the numbers is undeniably special in light of that.

CJ isn't the problem.

The O-line is bottom 5 bad. Tunsil is leading the league in penalties. Any QB would have a down year with a line that bad.

They're the 4th ranked team in first half points but 26th in the second half. Slowik can't make adjustments. He kept running Mixon into the strength of the Titans line which is inside. He had 14 carries for 22 yards. 2nd and 9 (first down is at the Titans 1) where a TD wins the game and he again runs Mixon into a wall for no gain.

texans were 6-2 then diggs went down
1-3 since

most qbs will struggle without their number 1 wr

Nico was out for some of those games as well.

2...6
Player A stats:
Passing yards 2,673 TD 18 INT 11

Player B stats:
Passing yards 2,875 TD 14 INT 9

I say this to say, saying he is overrated is overblown his team is going to the playoffs for 2nd consecutive year after being 3-13-1 with a bad offensive line and Diggs and Collins missing multiple games.
