Playoff game vs browns at NRG was electric. The barking that the brownies did when they got a touchdown got shut down real quick😂💀
What about the next game?
😂😂😂 playing vs immobile 40 year old Flacco that was called upon mid season while unemployed. I saw Stroud throw a little dump off to a tight end, who took it 70 yac for the TD.
@@slimvickins5059browns had the number 1 ranked defense in the league. That game wasn’t about Joe Flaccos performance, it was about how Stroud gobbled up their defense like Sunday morning breakfast💀
@@ThomasSalazar17 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@ThomasSalazar17🎯🎯 on god
CJ was under pressure his first season, ended up breaking rookie records and won OROY award.🤘
There was no pressure. Everyone thought y’all would suck be real
@@Nicholas-HTX exactly like what is this man talking about 😭💯
Not really. There’s no pressure as a rookie.. they’re expected to suck
Other than Mahomes and Prescott, Stroud is the best QB in the league.
@@MarkWright4678”And Prescott.” Please. Prescott’s repeated playoff chokes speak for themselves.
CJ was given a team that was the worst in the AFC South and helped them shift in a new direction. With the impact he made this past season, his leadership and play by plays are only going to continue evolving.
You’re not giving enough credit to the coaching staff. I think Ryans and co put together a solid system.
They were one of the oldest teams they put vets all around him
CJ was given a team that had a golden set up from the Deshaun Watson heist. Demeco Ryan’s instantly changed the culture. All the multiple 1st RD picks. Plus a very good O-line with above average pass pro. Far better situation than media likes to admit. It’s not like Stroud went to a terrible Jags or Bengals situations and turned them around.
Hypothetically just swap Stroud for Levis. Say Levis had a similar season with the Texans. The media would have insanely rode Demeco Ryans jock and made it all about him and his culture change. Laremy Tunsil would be glorified for the ELITE left tackle he is. Stroud had great pass protection and playmakers. I’m a Stroud fan. Called his success before most of you all. Was saying when he was at Ohio state how much better than Fields he is and all of you sheep laughed. But Stroud is in a good situation. He’s talented. But he has a lot of help . A lot more help than the shady media will lead to believe
Funny how media made Stefon Diggs out to be a brainer Top 3-5 WR when Josh Allen had him to throw to. (As a way to discredit Allen 😂😂😂) Where’s the media at now with that same Top 5 WR now that a black QB has him to throw to? Watch. Diggs will go from glorified to scapegoat if things get shaky this year for Texans. Media will never EVER be critical and tell the truth about a black QB
acho corrected courtney by phrasing the questioned correctly after her answer, but at the end of the video proceeds to answer the question with “pressure” in mind and not expectations lmao smh
Same thing I said
The man is funny
I honestly agree with Courtney
Yeah its not who has the most to prove, it's who are we expecting to play the best. CJ looked great and everyone expects him to keep on growing and getting better.
Being under pressure and scrutiny may be a good thing because that creates extra motivation to prove doubters wrong.
That's a myth, people retroactively say that the pressure made them more motivated but it's not likely
So ready for this season
Prescott probably has more pressure on him than anyone except Watson. He's flopped in the playoffs with teams that should have contended but now he has to do it with a less talented Dallas team. And he has to do it in his contract year.
Who hired these people 😂😂
Cj will be fine this year he was phenomenal last year and the Texans now got Diggs and hunter the Texans will be on their way this year 😊
Until they run into kc
@mike-vc1qm yea of course 🤣
@@mike-vc1qmehhh idk, I think the chiefs wouldn’t be able to win so easily against the Texans. This isn’t your normal Texans team
Good lord, did texans fans forget stroud put up 3 points in his last playoff game? I predict do has a down year and texans go just under .500
@billybobby5247 well they still got potential is all I mean but don't sleep on them.
CJ Stroud: "Pressure is a privilege.
"You overprepare so you don't feel the pressure."
Really highest expectations? For a Rookie QB who went crazy his FIRST YEAR like I’m convinced they just say anything sometimes
Yep. It's all about clicks and views nowadays.
Right. I swear anyone can get on this shows. They straight yapping. The 4 qbs that have the highest expectations is Aaron, Lamar, Josh, and dak
@@christianshaw2450I'd throw Watson in there too only because of the contract🤷🏾♂️
@@ybmsimba2410 he already hasn’t lived up to his contract. Past 2 seasons trash. So I expect trash
@@christianshaw2450 That's a fair point
If Stroud 'merely' plays as well this season as he did last season, it would be amazing. Any improvements he makes would be icing on the cake.
U don’t expect the 2nd overall pick last year to improve?😂wtf
@@kylewade8704 I didn't say that. And sometimes players slide a bit in their second year. I don't expect that from Stroud, but it can happen.
Exactly. Casuals don't realize every team in the nfl will be watching that Ravens game. It's one thing to come out for a year, the good ones can keep it going. Just let the dude get some experience before we start crowning
U dont know ball
@@billybobby5247 Dude you're a hater. Judging him off of one game is such a casual take from you. Like i said earlier from your last post showing you don't know ball, you think Lamar is gonna have a slump as well after putting up a similar score of 10 pts vs Chiefs? Learn football before yapping
By far the QB in Chicago has the highest expectations.
yea you don’t know ball
@@gideonarthur7879 Says you without even knowing why you stated it.
@@natureredux1957 yea you don’t know ball
@@gideonarthur7879you definitely dont know ball
@@theonemdizzle yea you don’t know ball
Why is Sam smiling so hard????
Rodgers will be fine. If the Jets fall flat, someone will pull out the "He's the greatest QB talent ever and he has lots of MVPs!" and then they'll blame the rest of the team.
If only purdy played a full season his rookie year. Easily coulda taken ROTY
Kinda off topic but why do they have Joe Burrow in the back when the question is about J.Love and Cj. Stroud ? 🤦🏾♂️
Bryce young is number one on this topic
There is no pressure on C J Stroud. Just like she said all the pressure is on Watson and Rodgers.
Tua hasn’t done anything
Texans made excellent progress Added great pieces and now it's almost time to run it back.the key is to get better week by week year by year.Excited to see the path the team create's...The future is bright in H town.the off season is so laid back when you kno you have a stud at QB.(We up🤘💯🔥).
The QB under the most pressure is obviously A Rod from the Jets and it's not even close smh🤦
CJ is new to the league I'm cheering for his expectation this year
Nah arron under pressure not C.J. ON THE CONTRARY C.J. HAS A FULL HOUSE IN HIS HAND WE ALL INN🤘🏽🤞🏽🔥
I think Mahomes has the highest expectations & it's simple why. Patrick Mahomes is chasing Tom Brady for GOAT & he's going for literal HISTORY with the 3peat. No one has ever done that before. Expectations can't get much higher than that
Not sure how you can say a 2nd year qb is under most pressure when Allen, Rodgers and some others have way more pressure to win
Pressure & Expectations. Watson--Rogers--Prescott--Wilson--Young--McCarthy.😢
“Pressure is a privilege”.
Bring all the pressure on CJ baby
Courtney look good. 👌🏾
Does anyone realize, the Texans have a way tougher season this year?
I am eager to see Stroud play after everyone has a years tape on him. I just wonder if he can match last year or improve.
Herbert also should be on this list. Needs to take that next step
AROD…come to my Beach Hotel…Ohana Beach Suites….I got you bro!!!
Personally I would add Herbert to this conversation. He consistently gets put there with the elite QBs yet has really done nothing as far as winning football. Really the Chargers as a whole are the Kings at choking. And it usually get blamed on the coaching but now with Harbaugh there, is there any more excuses. Herbert needs to step up
This girls good
Bro Texans OC didn’t got any offers. Lol you said he stayed for Texans. How comical you guys work on daily on these and miss most important details 🤦♂️
No doubt it’s Watson. I’m curious how CJ gonna play in bad weather tho. That jets loss sticks with me 😑😑😑
Texans 😎👍
Um no Aaron Rodgers is the qb with the most pressure this year. Jets are trying to go all in like the bucs and rams did, those teams won the superbowl in their first seasons with brady and stafford. Anything less than the jets winning the superbowl this year is a disappointment for them
When did they go all in?😂I don’t even think they’ve traded away any of their picks this offseason
@@kylewade8704 You don't bring in aaron rodgers just to have a losing season and miss the playoffs every year
No pressure at all on Stroud bro is STUD
Please ignore the hype CJ. Stay focused!!!
They mentioned it once but it’s expectations. Cj stroud is expected to be an MVP candidate and challenging Mahomes for a Super Bowl ticket. Both Watson and Rodger’s are trying to get CPOY and get to the playoffs. There not even expected to win their division. I’d say that expectation wise Stroud is above them.
I get both other points but I gotta agree with it being Aaron Rodgers
I see why certain people are only invited to the show at THIS time 😂😂😂
I think we can all agree that Trevor or Desaun easy has highest expectations
As a Steelers fan I wanted Watson to fail but as a fan of Watson I wanted him traded somewhere else so I could cheer for him
I believe in the texans but i think people forget they barely made the playoffs last year and it came down to an all time collapse by the jags after trevor got hurt and the colts choking the final week of the season.
Courtney needs to be moved up to the Varsity team. She's enjoyable to listen to.
I wouldn’t say highest pressure but hopping in that podcast wave adds a lot of pressure. Dude really be talking about other players sometimes in a heavily constructive way that are better than him, been in the league way longer or both. Lol just a bad look but it’s the podcast wave we in.
Dude’s big fake smile annoys me. Just be normal.
Nah its definitely NOT CJ Stroud
#1 - he's on his rookie deal and has already exceeded initial expectations.
#2 - the team just brought a slew of talent - including 2 All-Pros & some pro-bowlers. to a roster that already proved everyone wrong and won the division and destroyed Cleveland in a playoff game.
#3 - CJ has a football guru for a HC, who was the Team Captain calling defensive audibles as rookie moving players into better positions(Texans also).
Who's the pale Mr Potato Head?
If y'all thought the 2023-2024 Season C. J. Stroud had was good.
Just wait until the 2024-2025 Season takeoff!
The Texans Schedule is a gauntlet of a Schedule this year!
C. J. Stroud is the Q. B. and he has a plethora of Receiver's to get the Texans through that Gauntlet of a Schedule!
Not just Good Receiver's, GREAT Receiver's!
I got the Houston Texans winning their Division and going to the Super Bowl in 2024-2025, and winning it!
If that Houston Texans Defense can play just a little better than they did in the 2023-2024 Season!
They will be hard to Beat.
Ya he better have a plethora of receivers because we saw how bad he was without them😂he recorded the lowest qbr in a 2 game strength of anyone in the league wow that’s scary
Watson was paid to be an immediate impact contender and CJ stroud is in his 2nd year and she is expecting him to win the bowl. What tf are they talking about. the 3 Qbs with the highest expectations is Aaron Rodgers, Lamar, and Dak.
Cj Will Be fine year 2 even better then year 1
Not Daniel jones .. who just signed a mega deal. But stroud
How does CJ have higher expectations than Jared Goff?
Im just saying the texas wasnt supposed to be in playoffs they were “rebuilding” . Shroud that guy
I get it, it’s for sports talking purposes but duhhhhhh😂 you trade for Diggs and get D. Hunter who is a very good pass rusher they better make some kinda noise😂 only reason I tell folks hold they horses is because we’ve seen quote on quote dream teams before that didn’t work out and the biggest one that comes to mind is the Eagles when they signed Vick to that extension and that had Jason Babin and Jeremy Maclin and the crew. That team was loaded I also think they had Nnamdi Asomugha that year can’t remember. Texans definitely have the talent but folks have to remember it’s just his second year.
Most pressure is Deshaun most expectations is Rodgers Most belief in is CJ
Most expectations is clearly stroud, he’s gonna be a disappointment if he’s not a top 5 qb, Aaron is replacing the worst qb room if he’s like the 10th best qb they will be one of the best teams
Where are the expectations for Burrow, Hurts, Lamar, Purdy, Dak, or Trevor Lawrence?
I would say tua because he didn’t sign a deal yet. Everybody else at least is sitting on money
What's he talking about bcus didn't Brett get the Jets to the playoffs
It's clearly Watson . . . Come on.
The dude can't get massages anymore to relieve all that stress.
CJ Stroud? Tf? No he is not under pressure lol
What is this dude talking about 😂
Courtney can we at least go on a date??
The dummy squad done took over First Take.
I actually have the Texans beating the Lions in the Super Bowl this year
Slow down I live the Texans I’m a Texans fan born and raised but we gotta get through chiefs bills and ravens
Put a 20$ bet now and see how much you could win.
There are a HANDFUL OF QBs that are Under WAY MORE PRESSURE than CJ,,,,(STARTING WITH DAK PRESCOTT,,,AND JOSH ALLEN)💯💯💯,,,,,,, This is ONLY CJ's SECOND YEAR!!!
Courtney more reasonable
Both Achos' are supremely gifted.... at being intelligently ignorant (if you do a podcast with that name 10% fee) I get that you all are "playing the game " to capitalize but sheesh...🤦🏾♂️
Deshaun only got yards bc he was young and could escape sacks and throw bombs to Nuk and Will Fuller
C-cast on deck
Waston and Browns gone win it all this year
😅🤣😂
Good Rookies have amazing first seasons Great Rooks do it again the next year. F De-wash the Browns sold the farm for a Zero!
Mahomes has the highest expectations. He’s the only one that set the bar of “Super Bowl win or bust”.
The Raven's QB feels exactly the same and more then just a Few others.
When have they lost the Super Bowl and busted?? That means when u lose u fire everyone and get rid of the qb😂maybe ur a little confused idk
Courtney is playing a different game. The Browns' expectations sound like a looming case of diarrhea.
Rodgers signing with the Vikings next season bookmark this comment 😂
I disagree. Stroud will be ok. I'd say Rodgers, Dak, Josh Allen, Herbert, burrow and Lawrence just to name a few are under duress lmao 🤣😂🤣
Josh Allen?😂he has no help how tf is he under duress, he’s probably number 1 on the list of free rolling players with nothing to lose, if he misses the playoffs it’s just on his team, if he makes it he carried them and he’s probably mvp
@@kylewade8704 he had Diggs and they still have a decent defense. Enough with the excuses lol even by your own admission. If they win Allen gets the credit if they lose it's everyone else's fault. Not a good look. Allen is sorry and everyone needs to admit it 😂😂😂
Titans will win Super Bowl 59 watch out 😅😅😅😅😅😅
She said Deshaun Watson 🤣 no wonder yall ratings are getting lower and lower
Cj is the next Brady
lmaooooo, stop it, he's the next justin herbert, one good year, than falls off a cliff, i said the samething about herbert and it will happen to him
@@onlyfacts9820 sound like a hater or Michigan fan really, idc
@@darvinwilliams8722 lmaooooo, bro how am i a hater??? i was just given my opinion, iv'e seen plenty of guys have first good years, herbert had a really good first year, they said he was the next dan marino, 3 years later how is he looking? they thought mac jones was the second coming of brady, he made the playoffs in his first year, where is he at now, remember deshaun watson, where is he at, i've seen this movie before, i think cj is good, but i don't see greatness yet, lets see what he does when the league is on notice, but he's good like a kirk cousins, he's not in the league of the top Qb's yet, he's hasn't played that long, we'll see
CJ sophomore slump incoming…
WHO
Foolish take. Watson is the least under pressure. They proved they could win without him. Regardless it’ll be judged as one of the worst ever signings.
When anyone has a neck like that I can’t listen to them
Acho brothers are the most annoying
He's been massively over-hyped, massively. He had a great, great rookie season...but...we all need to pump the brakes. Pump them hard and stop telling the whole world he's a top 5 QB already.
𝗒𝗈𝗎 𝗐𝗂𝗅𝗅 𝗌𝖾𝖾 𝗌𝗈𝗈𝗇..
Acho is allergic to good takes
Ik I ain’t the only one that seen toothpac sakur
Bruh this cj stroud over exaggerating gotta stop he’s good but they acting like he won the mvp his rookie season calm down. Let him prove it more then one year first
First of all CJ should have won MVP because if you think of what MVP actually stands for then you can say he done everything even with a fucked up offensive line who kept getting hurt plus only having two good receivers so do you know the meaning of MVP
He ain’t win MVP simply because he got hurt and missed 2 games.
@@sheenaherrera7457he had 2 of the worst games out of any qb the whole season😂purdy had 1 bad game against probably the best team and was no longer eligible to win it, stroud threw for 50 yards in one game😭😭😭
@@htownavo713and had some horrible games had the worst game of anyone in the league passing for only 50 yards and losing to the jets
@@kylewade8704 yeah his #1 receiver got hurt in the 1st quarter dude was literally playing with 3rd string receivers against one of the best defenses in the league on they turf plus oline wasn’t healthy whole season but yeah go on and continue to not add CONTEXT.
weird crew
Acho had the worst take … easy
How? CJ produced! This bull 💩 NO ONE is under more pressure than lil bryce young in Carolina.
She don’t know what she be talking bout
Sophomore slump, just telling you now
he gonna suck they got him above Lamar Jackson nope hes not better than him
