    Absolutely awful . Davis Mills should be the starting QB next year . Bo nix is out next round . Wide open chance to go to the Super Bowl and the QB craps the bed .

    Every aspect of the offense is terrible. Not just CJ. Could replace all 11 players and coaches

    I just posted this in game thread.

    We're literally throwing away our best chance to ever reach the SB in Houston Pro Football history.

    CJ just hasn't been right in the playoffs. We had a chance to change momentum at halftime with Mills and we didn't have the foresight or maybe guts to make the call.

    This is fcking depressing. D played their butts off.

    Honestly wished we had played any other QB that wouldnt have turned the ball over 4 times with a pick6.

    I never want to see CJ Stroud in a Texans uniform again. We need a stronger representation at QB for a hardnosed city. He can go back to California.

    You realize....they got 7 points off those INTs? The turnover that really hurt was that Marks fumble.

    Anyone but CJ.

    You can’t admit that he’s just not good

    I need no further evidence. I don't want him to be my QB anymore. He might still be a decent regular season quarterback, but I don't think he has what it takes to win in the playoffs, so what's the point of continuing to run him out there? As much as I want them to get better offensive line in the offseason, now I want them to start looking at QBs as well. That's can be a 1st or 2nd round guy or if there is a backup they think could be a decent game manager, bring him. But CJ doesn't have the nerves or the personality to be the type of QB this team needs to win.

    He really did. And the pathway to the Super Bowl is as wide open as I’ve ever seen it. The Texans need to go out and get a QB this offseason. It’s been obvious for 2 yrs now. CJ is not the guy.

    I get everyone is upset and they have every right too, but it’s not right all the hate CJ gets, yes he’s made mistakes and yes I think it’s time for him to go as much it pains me still he’s human and he’s no Fidel Castro or adolf hitler to merit so much hate

    The worst thing about the NFL is that you have to strike while the iron is hot.

    We've seen teams that were hot one year fall off a cliff the next.

    It's not guaranteed the defense will play at this level next year and also no key players get injured.

    Really wasted the best opportunity at winning a Super Bowl since the Oilers.

    Description: Drafted to the NFL. Got paid, got comfortable and started hiding behind religion versus truly representing the faith he claims to believe in with a display of true courage and action.

    CJ was very bad last week in Pittsburgh and completely choked today in New England. He’s done. Move on.

    Oh...he wasnt good the last 2 games. However, your weapon also need to make plays. Without Nico, the Texans needed to run the ball. They couldn't....that is why CJ started to press. He has to better. However, your weapons have to make plays. Maye's WR made plays. Their RBs made plays.

    To be fair, losing Nico and Shultz cost them big time this game. Feels like they always go into these games with key injuries. But CJ is absolutely not the answer. He’s had three chances. Entire offense has to be revamped honestly.
