quarterback C.J. Stroud is likely at the lowest point of his NFL career this offseason after the team's horror playoff exit. The lo s to the was horrible, with Stroud throwing four first-half interceptions that paved the way for the lo s. As such, the pitchforks have Michael Pezzetta Jersey been out for C.J. and rightly so, as the performance wasn't good. But as tight end Dalton Schultz points out, Stroud's struggles against New England weren't all on him. "Everybody's got to turn themselves," Schultz said on the . "It's not all on C.J. Do you think he throws some of those picks if he didn't have a guy in his lap? Everything is so entangled in football that it's hard to put anything on one guy ever." More: Is Schultz right? Of course he is. But here's the problem. When you are the franchise quarterback, or a quarterback at all for that matter, you get all the praise when it goes right, even if you didn't have a big hand to play in the win. And then you get all the blame when things go south. That's part and parcel of the position. Plus, it comes with the territory of being the face of the franchise. Look, most know it wasn't all on Stroud, but four first-half interceptions are tough to get away from. Some have said C.J. melted down, and there is some truth to that, as there are Schultz's comments. Unfortunately, when it comes to how Stroud is viewed league-wide, it doesn't matter. All that matters is that the Texans lost, and Stroud threw four interceptions. More NFL news: Kirk Muller Jersey
