    I agree that the Houston system and coaches have not put him in the best position to excel. Once opposing DC started game planning for him, his performance declined. Throw in some marginal OC's, a defensive-minded head coach, and a GM in denial, and he is screwed. And the haircut won't fix it. If I were CJ, I would explore a fresh start with more support and guidance..

    Interesting and a bit surprising. I am still pointing to the elephant in the room: THE CONCUSSIONS!

    Just give me 1-6 and I'll draft Mauigoa and be very happy.

    There's a reason 2 different OC's in 2 different offenses have had to keep their offenses very vanilla.

    Agreed about the last sentence in your post.

    No, he must be traded now! Was never a fan of "The General" and would love to see him eat his words.

    Yes, 130 sacks and multiple concussions have taken a toll in my opinion. I don’t know if it’s reversible or not.

    The Texans will eventually get an offer they can’t refuse. If we can get a 26 1st, 2027 first, and maybe 2027 3rd, probably include a decent player in a position of need. I don’t think Caserio would say no to that type of deal.

    Is it also CJ's fault that the OL is horrific at run-blocking?

    7 turnovers in 2 playoff games has nothing to do with run blocking. Now if you want to say the Texans need to invest so heavily in the draft , FA on the offense that you're going to be thin on depth defensively I'm good with this. But this would be putting a lot of unearned faith in CJ. This is why in the 1st 4 rds I expect 2-3 defensive players being their picks.

    Another poster shared that we spend the second least amount of money on our team's offense and you want them to invest more on defense?

    This is a man that had to eat a page of the Chronicle because he bet that in 2014 if the Texans didn't draft a qb he'd eat the Chronicle, the Texans drafted Clowney. I love CJ but if we gotta see John's fupa buried penis in order to win a superbowl, I got no issue with that

    He's an idiot but nobody wants to see him naked. Do want to see CJ traded though. He's a terrible QB

    I’m not sure I can watch another yr of Stroud wasting a Super Bowl defense. Are we really gonna do this again? God help us. Completely incapable of learning from mistakes. We deserve what’s coming.

    I sure don't. They obviously don't agree though unfortunately
