I agree. This is a no brainer. This game is still in reach...but not with CJ. You are KILLING your defense with this poo. Agreed. It's a tough spot for any coach but you gotta look into your guys eyes and know if they are gonna be able to do it. Right now, how is that a "yes?" I agree. He got a lot of hype for being an MVP candidate this year so I don't think he changes it until it becomes an issue. It's very correctable.

It's so insane. I never thought I would see a worse game than the Jake game.

Yeah, it is so crazy that this is even a discussion. He is absolutely done. It's written all over his face on the field, on the sideline, in the huddle, etc. It's insane.

He hasn't played a pass rush like this often this year. Not even close.

This is the equivalent of leaving a goalie in to get shelled instead of pulling him. It's absolutely bananas that he hasn't gotten the hook.

I would start exploring options, for sure. Look, it's not just this. He has genuinely never been able to recapture that rookie season juice. Even this past season, the team looked better with Mills in there and he ain't great. Look up those replays and see the looks he had on the sideline injured and watching them win. I think his confidence keeps getting lower and I genuinely think he may never recover from this. It's not his abilities but he has been mentally extremely fragile in his time in Houston with an insanely good team around him.

IMO, I would explore moving on from Ryans. This game is now on him.

Dude, I actually agree. This two game stretch may actually break him as an NFL player. Not a joke.

This loss is now on you, Ryans. 100%

But even a pressured Bryce would try and use his legs to create. Stroud is completely incapable of that. I am not saying Bryce would be slinging the rock out there but he damn sure wouldn't be crapping his pants THIS bad. Bryce has never had a two game stretch as bad as Stroud has had....so far. Completely ineffective is one thing, literally being the opposing teams MVP is another.

IDK about that at this point. Never would have thought I would have said it.

It's a lot easier to manage a game not flinging it to the other team 90+% of the snaps. You have to bench him. He isn't gonna recover. It's just getting worse.

Bro, it's crazy. I never thought that would go through my mind but it's an absolute fact. Bryce may not be good but Stroud is insanely bad. He has no future as a playoff QB.

Even that throw was behind and sailed. Watch it again. I think he could be completely done.

He is a Stroud homer, which is so insane after ths last 6 quarters of football that guy has played. He is genuinely potentially playing his way out of the NFL at the rate he is going. I am not sure he recovers in 2026.

Every snap he tries to fumble or throw a straight up jump ball. It's the worst QB play I have ever seen in my life.

100% Lol. Tell me you didn't watch any Texans games this year without telling me you didn't watch any Texans games this year. Your boy is cooked, bro. He is absolute trash.

Mills went 3-0 with this elite D and although he wasn't great he didn't turn the ball over like Stroud even did in the regular season. Hence why Stroud was 9-5 driving this fuging Cadillac of a team.

Dude, Davis Mills is a game managing QB that won them 3 games this year. They literally have a better QB on the roster.

Ryans should get walking papers, if not.

It was literally a sailed throw into double coverage though. Another terrible mistake.

How do you still keep playing him? I would genuinely fire Ryans if he didn't get this.

Bro, he was insanely terrible last week. Did you not watch that game and saw how over his head he was?? He is absolute dogshit.

This might be the first time since the 2023 draft I have ever been glad we made the decision to take Bryce over CJ. That draft may prove to have the worst three top 10 QB's in a very long time.

I am telling you, Davis Mills is way better. Maybe that might not be the case in the regular season but you could see it in Stroud's eyes against the Steelers he is completely cooked. I am gonna be honest, I don't know that he will recover from this next season. This is literally early Sam Darnold.
