0:07
that everybody inside the Texans
0:10
organization has to ask themselves and
0:13
has to ask each other.
0:15
Are we going to give CJ Shroud that max
0:20
extension, which so many young
0:23
quarterbacks get as long as they show
0:25
any type of positive growth, success, or
0:33
With CJ Stroud at the helm,
0:36
the Texans have gone to the playoffs
0:38
three consecutive years. With CJ Stroud
0:41
at the helm, they won a road playoff
0:43
game this year. with CJ Shroud. They
0:47
have been a really interesting young
0:52
but what we saw last week was they won
0:54
in spite of their quarterback. And what
0:56
we saw against the New England Patriots
0:58
was a guy in over his skis,
1:01
lacking confidence, lacking accuracy,
1:04
and lacking judicious decision-making.
1:07
Once you throw your first pick, and you
1:09
know how elite your defense is. Once you
1:11
throw your first pick, it has to be,
1:13
okay, I'm not going to put my defense in
1:15
a bad spot again. So, I will only make
1:18
safe throws. And if I am going to test
1:20
this defense, I'm going to test him deep
1:22
so that if it is picked off, it's picked
1:24
off way downfield or maybe I draw a pass
1:27
interference flag down there.
1:29
CJ Shroud was just chucking it
1:31
underneath and into coverage, into
1:34
double coverage to the opposing team,
1:37
taking unreasonable shots when he's
1:40
clearly not comfortable and not
1:44
You simply cannot win
1:47
playoff games with that type of
1:48
quarterbacking and that type of
1:50
decision-m. And that elite defense
1:53
deserved better. that elite defense.
1:57
They They didn't need, you know, Dan
2:00
Marino in his prime. They just needed
2:02
something credible under center instead
2:05
of what they got from CJ Strad. Will
2:07
Anderson is going to be a beast for a
2:09
long time. Demo Rise is going to have a
2:12
great defense for a long time. What they
2:14
have to decide is, is it worth it to
2:18
give CJ Shroud all that cash? Because
2:20
you you could have Matt Shab do that,
2:23
you know, you could have Brian Hoyer do
2:26
that. You could have any number of
2:28
former Texans quarterbacks do that.
2:30
Derek Carr, go down to David Carr,
2:32
rather. What CJ Shroud did was throw
2:35
them out of a game, but you don't have
2:37
to pay a guy to do that. And that is a
2:42
seismic type of question. The Dolphins
2:45
gave it to Tua and it blew up in their
2:48
They saw a little bit of growth. They
2:50
saw a little bit of success and said
2:52
it's better to have the guy than not
2:54
have the guy. And now look,
2:56
you got to be really careful with that
2:58
contract and CJ Shroud and what he put
3:01
on tape end of this season, most of the
3:05
season, but specifically in the
3:06
postseason was ghastly. And Collinsworth
3:10
brought this up in the sorry Aman
3:11
brought this up in the broadcast.
3:15
CJ has not matched his rookie success
3:18
and he needs to look in the mirror and
3:20
ask the question why. And there's
3:22
reasons for it and he has to have the
3:27
we don't know the reasons but he's got
3:29
to find them or that team's got to find
3:31
them or else they got to say we we've
3:33
got to move on. He might be throwing
