00:00A little real or fake, as we do it each and every Tuesday, so stay tuned with us.
00:04I pose a question. You tell me if it's real or fake.
00:07YouTube, Twitch, those of you on the text line, jump in with your thoughts and answers, real or fake.
00:14We'll kick this thing off with you, Tyler Milner.
00:17This is going to be tough, because I don't know if Tyler is going to be able to do this objectively.
00:22Or not even just objectively, but just not let the emotion get inside his answer.
00:31Real or fake, the Texans will end up paying Will Anderson Jr. more than they will pay C.J. Stroud.
00:38Real or fake?
00:39Well, one U.S. dollar is more than no new deal at all.
00:43So, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.
00:46Oh, so you think C.J. is just going to get, no, this is his contract.
00:50Yeah, that's assuming they re-up with young C.J.
00:53We know Will is going to get paid, and we know Will is going to be amongst the top nine quarterbacks if he doesn't just jump Micah Parsons.
01:02But that's like 40-something, right?
01:05Like, do you believe Will Anderson will end up getting more money from the Texans than C.J. Stroud?
01:11I'm going to say fake.
01:12I'm not going to say that.
01:14By saying that, I'm not saying the Texans brass should be doing that.
01:18I'm not saying that.
01:19But I'm going to say fake because the highest-paid edge rusher right now, I believe, is Micah Parsons at the value.
01:26It's $186 million total.
01:2840-something guaranteed, yeah.
01:30On the quarterback scale, $180 total sits with Kirk Cousins.
01:36His latest deal is $180 million.
01:38I think the Houston Texans, no matter what just happened, they value C.J. Stroud a lot more than a Kirk Cousins.
01:44Two have slipped into 53.
01:46Yeah.
01:47So, I'm going to go fake overall.
01:49Again, not saying that's the right choice, but I'm going to say fake.
01:52So, basically, you're saying you think the Texans are going to get C.J. Stroud a long-term deal?
02:00Yes, I do.
02:01Real or fake, Clint, the Texans will end up paying Will Anderson more than C.J. Stroud?
02:07Well, the way I look at it is to simplify the question, you're asking me if they're going to pay C.J. Stroud more than $45 million a year.
02:15And while I cringe at the thought, I think the love affair between D'Amico and C.J.
02:25and the love affair between ownership and C.J., I don't think C.J. has to play remotely close to what he played his rookie year, and he's going to get it.
02:37So, I'm going to say it's – how did you phrase the question?
02:42I said the Texans will end up paying Will Anderson more than C.J. Stroud, real or fake?
02:47So, I'm going to say it's fake.
02:49I think they end up paying C.J. Stroud.
02:51I mean, there is just – if there is just minimal improvement, just, again, just don't be the reason that we lose.
02:59I think they pay him $50-plus million a year.
03:02Yeah, I'm going to say fake as Will.
03:04I see some – some more text in real.
03:08Someone here on YouTube, the Epidic McNeers, love a good guy.
03:12I think – I don't know if C.J. Clint will get to eighth in the MVP race, leading the National Football League in yards per game,
03:26passing yards per game, and play to the level he did, and go up head-to-head, and beat Joe Burrow on the road,
03:33and beat Baker Mayfield with the last seconds.
03:35I don't know if he's going to do that.
03:37But I don't think – like, I don't think C.J. – I think C.J. is taking steps back.
03:43I don't think what we saw against Pittsburgh and New England is C.J. Stroud.
03:47Like, I think that's completely fallen off the horse in terms of the turnovers and the missed throws,
03:55the accuracy issues that he had.
03:57I think C.J. comes back next year, and I think C.J. is, you know, a top 15 quarterback.
04:05And with C.J. being a top 15 quarterback, Clint, it's going to be hard for them to just say,
04:12all right, man, we're just completely out on that, and we're ready to start over with this thing.
04:19And I think if he comes back and shows Clint that he's a top 15 level quarterback,
04:24then I think there will be thought at 25 that he can still continue to grow.
04:30So, I do.
04:31I think he is going to be the highest paid player on this team.
04:37I mean, you detailed kind of my point.
04:40I mean, if he's the 15th best quarterback –
04:44He's going to get –
04:44I agree with you.
04:47I think he is – I think they are – I think they are just pot committed,
04:53and it's – there's no level of bad that can change that they're going to pay him long term.
04:58So, now, the point I think you're making is I don't think he even flirts with setting the market again.
05:03No, no, he's not setting the market.
05:05But –
05:06Yeah, because I think Mahomes is probably going to get a new deal this offseason.
05:11Oh, thank you.
05:12Some others may get a new deal.
05:14Here's the interesting thing is, you know, Tua slipped into 53, and I think that works against C.J.
05:21I mean, you can even look at Trevor to a certain extent, slipping to 55, and you're like, I think that works against C.J.
05:29Like, I think there's situations out there where teams are strapped with how they handle their cap,
05:36and their quarterback is nowhere near as good as they thought he was,
05:41or as near as the level game changer that they thought he was, and now they're in a bad spot.
05:48So, yeah, I mean, I think, unfortunately, man, they're viewing this –
05:56there's a few people over there that are decision makers that I think are in love with the man instead of the quarterback.
06:00People, Ron, you're delusional.
06:02Clint is – or C.J. is exactly who we saw.
06:06I just know if you're these people, because I'm starting to see this the last couple of days
06:10because I said I'm not – I wouldn't give up and I'm not out on C.J.
06:13I hope you're the same people last week who were telling – you better not be the same people last week
06:19who were telling us not to talk about his interceptions and just say it was a bad game.
06:23And now all of a sudden – I mean, people have just done a complete –
06:27some of y'all same people were saying it wasn't a big deal last week or completely done a shift.
06:31Snip, snap, snip, snap.
06:32On where you are on C.J.
06:34Now, I don't think I'm delusional.
06:35I think C.J. Stroud, especially if he gets a new coach, which I wouldn't guess.
06:43But, yeah, I know – like, the last two games is not C.J.
06:46C.J. has not ever had a stretch of seven turnovers in two games.
06:51Never.
06:52Never had a stretch of that.
06:53Hell, he had five interceptions his first – his rookie year.
06:56All together.
06:57All right.
06:58Real or fake?
07:00Tyler, you were one of those calling for Davis Mills to check into the game
07:05on Sunday, real or fake?
07:07Believe it or not, I was one of the ones trying to tell my friends
07:10to calm the hell down, and there was no way in hell that was going to happen.
07:14So, yes, very fake.
07:16Yeah, you were calling for him?
07:17No.
07:18Real or fake?
07:19Hey, I'll take it here, Clint.
07:21Real or fake?
07:23It was very real for me.
07:24That last interception and the look in his eyes and his face,
07:29I just said, hey, little buddy ain't got it today, man.
07:32Shooketh.
07:33He just ain't.
07:34He shook, whatever.
07:35He just ain't got it.
07:36Like, he ain't got it.
07:37He's missing people.
07:39It was just like this is –
07:41Did you call that man little buddy?
07:42I did, man.
07:42I promise you.
07:43I said to Courtney and Trash, little buddy ain't got it, man.
07:48He got shut it down, man.
07:49You can look in his eyes, man.
07:51He looks like he's either about to get hit for a strip sack
07:54or throw another one.
07:55So, I'm not going to lie.
07:56And I think the emotions got there.
07:58It was probably if you're going to run with CJ moving forward,
08:01it's probably the move to make and not just quit on him in the first half.
08:06You got to Davis Mills.
08:07And I'm certain my social media probably reflects my feelings at that time.
08:12Real or fake, Clint, you were one calling for Davis Mills to come in the game.
08:15Yes, absolutely.
08:18Absolutely.
08:18And it was more – for me, it's more about the magnitude of the game
08:23and you've got one half of football or your ass is going home
08:26and the guy that you kept pushing out there, for whatever reason,
