    He wasn't in the pocket when he threw the int against the Bengals

    That guy thinks CJ has a good agent, really not even worth responding to it. Pretty typical for him to mention race.
    His representatives are trash.

    I guess it depends on what you consider good.

    That contract he got Deshaun was incredible. I would call that a good agent.

    Deshaun was a POS. A talented one at that. He never had the mental goods to be the franchise of a team.

    He crumbled in the second half of the Chiefs too. People should remember that.

    Agents are like Defense Lawyers and Snake Oil Salesmen. The better deals they can get, the more they are despised. It's all about the money.

    It’s the culture his representatives encourage. They’re trash humans.

    There are lots of trash humans in the NFL. I wish it was different. CJ seems like a good guy, and I can only hope he stays humble and keeps out of trouble in the future, unlike Watson. It's a shame CJ has that agent, but there is nothing we can do about it but hope he doesn't try to screw us later like Creep Boy did.

    Texans have full control ultimately, and CJ is built different than Deshaun. If CJ wants to stay in Houston he will, and he will get quite a bag before he even reaches that 5th year.

    I hope he’s different than Watson, I think he is.
    Listening to him talk to Brady it seems CJ is about football and not the Instagram/hip hop/bling culture.
    It would do him well to get rid of his representation and get someone more focused on business and football imo

    I'm just as impressed with CJ asking that question out in the open for the world to see.

    There is a 5th dimension beyond that which is known to man.

    Folks, this is the best one. I don't think there is anyone who can do it better than Drew Brees.

    It's like being the most feared mobster. They may be effective by being the worst people imaginable.

    Yes! Very impressive for CJ to ask this question, and the way he put it shows great awareness of what's going on. He's experiencing something very typical, but also very difficult, for young budding stars in pro sports. And Brady's advice is top notch. I hope CJ really takes that advice to heart and makes it part of his character.

    Man... what Brady told him was absolute TRUTH. I'm glad this happened. I'm actually thankful for this. CJ will soak it in but it also needs to resonate through the entire team and organization.

    Colt McCoy did one for the Buccaneers game. Really well done. For the throw the throw that preceded the final TD pass I believe he said and I quote “There’s not many of us (QBs) that can make that throw.”
