What we saw was a disgrace. C.J. Stroud imploded against the New England Patriots, throwing four interceptions and nearly seven in what was one of the ugliest performances of his career. This was not just a bad stat line. It was bad fundamentals, indecision, and mistakes that raised serious questions about whether Stroud is the same quarterback he was as a rookie. The conversation goes beyond the turnovers. From dropped passes to coaching decisions, coordinator changes, and a controversial late-game punt by DeMeco Ryans, everything is on the table. Add in Troy Aikman delivering a brutally honest assessment on the broadcast, and suddenly the Texans are facing a much bigger issue than just one bad game. Is this a temporary slump, a coaching problem, or real regression from a quarterback once viewed as the future of the franchise? And with extension talks looming, how close are the Texans to a true crossroads with Stroud?
