CJ Stroud's uncontrollable crying.....

[loyal2dagame]

He's a B I H

[transplantbillsfan]

Frankly... I don't like Stroud. I think he's an entitled little B word .

 

Not much more for me to say here... I don't really disagree with you

I understand guys should be upset when one of their teammates goes down with such a gruesome injury, but Stroud's over the top antics seemed quite juvenile and unbecoming of a Captain of the Offense and a supposed leader of the team.

 

I counted at least 5 different teammates that had to come over and comfort him, trying to tell him to get it together with no success. he was crying so much, you would think he was actually the one injured......way to take the focus away from your injured teammate.

 

Anyone with any sense should have realized the cameras were going to be on you in that moment, and you need to keep it together and act like a leader....not to mention the fact that he played pretty poorly after the Dell injury.

 

I know a lot of Bills players had tears in their eyes during the Hamlin incident, but that was a completely different situation IMO.....they thought he died on the field.

 

I just thought it was a bad look and a little immature for the face of their franchise to carry on in that way.

 

Flame away!!!!!

Hamlin did die.

Dude was an emotional basketcase. I was ready to call for a couch and a counselor. 

His TE dropped a first down pass after the D held at midfield. That was the turning point in the game. Yes Stroud was emotional but the Texans still had chances. The missed PAT didn’t help.

Dude was a shell of his "self proclaimed" top 5 QB self, after Dell went down. 

Agreed though, they did have some chances. 

I wasn't expecting much from the kid or the Texans tbh

Nobody is patting him on the back. Frankly, I don’t care how he reacted. He can do whatever he wants or feels the need to do. If I ever get to the top .01 of my profession, I don’t give a damn what anyone on a different teams message board thinks

I'm not personally judging you you could have your opinion

 

I'm just saying that objectively there will be people that will now start to see you as soft

 

You don't need any more outside noise at the NFL level let alone people questioning your toughness

@Captain Hindsight Buffalo716 is not judging YOU, only judging STROUD and the way that he handled his emotions.

I see where you’re coming from. At the same time, he comes from a different generation. Zoomers are different.

 

If you’re suggesting he should be more stoic, or more like a soldier, then I also get this pov. But he’s gonna march to the beat of his own drum.

 

Not sure if he’s gonna be a great leader in the long run but I can’t judge him based solely on crying in front of everyone. He’ll find his own path, win lose or draw.

 

Seems like the offensive coordinator hasn’t been helping him much. He’s got all the physical tools. Mentally, who knows ?

[MJS]

I would have liked to see him be more of a leader and he be the one comforting guys and rallying them. As the QB, you have to be a little above everything and everyone else. You have to be a leader and an authority figure. Some guys have that and some don't. Most of the great ones do.

[julian]

I wouldn’t want my QB having a meltdown in those circumstances, but he’s not my QB so whatever.

 

 There’s a QB who wears nail polish, lip gloss and carries a hand bag who was drafted 1st overall…  he makes CJ Stroud look like prime Clint Eastwood.

Not disrespecting your opinion......but if you get the chance, look at the highlights of my Orlando Magic playing the Miami Heat tonight.....Orlando's three best players were out of the game due to injury, then in the first quarter, their  best bench player and emotional leader had a serious knee injury and had to be carried off the court....all the players were upset, but no one cried like a baby on the court......the team was shell-shocked from all that was happening and got down by 25 points......fast forward to the 4th quarter, where the Magic pulled it together, and showed real grit and character and outscored the Heat 37-8 for the greatest comeback in Magic history.

 

That is what I want to see from a team when faced with such adversity.

Was definitely a little too much but I guess everyone handles and contains their emotions differently. 
 

Fair play to the guy for being that way. Wouldn’t be me. I can honestly count on 2 hands the amount of times I’ve cried in 42 years.

I said there's people who will judge him like

media or other people in the league etc 

 

This place goes crazy over the smallest things LOL as I said if Trent Edwards or Jim Kelly started crying because a knee injury people would be judging him

My first thought was, why is this guy crying? It’s not like he died on the field and the trainers brought him back to life. It’s a football injury and they happen every week.   It wasn’t like Kevin Everett or Ryan Shazier when they were motionless on the field.  
 

 

 

This.  Honestly I had a similar reaction, but what i couldn't understand was how many players were really messed up.  Were they shocked that a teammate got injured in a football game?

 

The widespread reaction took me back to Damar's injury, but he almost died so there it made complete sense.  Yesterday's injury was nothing like that IMO.

[Behindenemylines]

When the announcers have to point out that multiple teammates had to come over to “comfort “ him, that states slot to me.    Ok to be emotional for a moment but then you need to get back to work by rallying the troops.  
 

sitting on the bench with a towel over your head while someone pats you on the back is a bad look

What about lassie 

Lassie didn’t die. She was taken to a big farm in the country. Lives there to this day. 

[Your Brown Eye]

I can guarantee you that if it was Josh Allen crying on National TV over an injury to one of his teammates, the narrative of this thread would be a complete 180. This thread would be filled with people saying how brave and passionate he is and what a leader of men he's become and not one person would be calling him soft or a b****

[RobbRiddick]

Men crying? Pah, and people wonder why sea levels are rising.

 

The only time in sports it's acceptable for a man to cry is when Mickey dies in Rocky 3 or if Tom Brady comes out of retirement.

[davefan66]

What’s the issue? His teammate that he’s sweated with and bled with on the field was injured badly. He’s allowed to show emotion and he’s not less of a man for doing so.

[Governor]

I thought that was Dell’s wife crying. That was Stroud?

 

You gotta remember that these gen Z kids are easily 7 years behind gen X at that age as far as maturity, life experience, etc. That’s a 16 year old kid out there.
