NFL Bust Alert Candidates for the 2026 Season 🚨
Video Overview & Insights
Tyler Sullivan joins CBS Sports HQ Spotlight to discuss potential bust candidates in the 2026 NFL season.
CJ Stroud has gone to the playoffs EVERY YEAR!
Why do we NOT SEE Lawreence and Hurbert as well others!
This take and you are full of COW CRAP!
(0:00) C.J. Stroud
(3:02) Michael Penix Jr.
Just to think 3 years ago ppl said he may be the best qb in Texas and top 5 qb. Funny what happens over time and when reality of that progression actually sets in. Cant say the Texans dont have a complete defense or pieces of the offense to compliment him to start his career 😂
(4:52) Malik Willis
(6:56) Marvin Harrison Jr.
He really critiqued someone for focusing on their health ? 😂

Actually Stroud had a decent season, He was in the top half of NFL QB's statistically. He had 3,041 passing yards, 19 touchdowns, and 8 interceptions across 14 games. His ESPN Total QBR: 61.7 (11th in NFL). He made awful decisions in his playoff games where the world was watching so that's all you know most likely. Right now he's really no bust, but more like a middle of the road QB who had a bad playoffs last year. I'm not a big Stroud fan but lets at least be fair. I know it's the internet but not everything that isn't great has to be awful

Why we so quick to call black QBs busts so early, it’s been 3 years for Stroud in a tough AFC

All CJ had to do was protect the football and manage the game against the Patriots in the playoff but he wanted to be the hero of the game. 5 interceptions from CJ and he was lucky it didn't get worst due to the Texan elite defense.

Purdy and Stroud so far the best QB's from this draft and once DC's have tape that job becomes harder. QB's are taught repetition and making the same throwing motions. Once the D-Line knows your ques it makes it harder.
@MrAndrew0511Don't disrespect Stroud by putting him on this list SMH
@ROB3CGBruh won 3 playoff games. We just changed the definition of bust I guess
@Diablo-bg8reHow are you going to drag Penix for his injury but not even mention the fact that Tua is one bad hit away from assisted living?
@mrw1kk3dBryce Young?
@RMcG93Man I hope Malik Willis lights it up and gets the Phins into the playoffs
@staywokegobrokeMalik Willis does not apply. 3rd Rd Pick out of Liberty Univ. In VA State. D3 School at Best. He was lucky to even be drafted. Now he just signed a 20 Mill Contract and he's set for life. That's a Huge Win. Miami is doing Miami things since Marino
@Commander99ashOc sucks but stroud is a bust
@harjeveYall gotta be honest with yourselves. How is Stroud a bust potential? He’s played bad in the playoffs but played pretty solid throughout the season considering what he was working with.
@iilxsionBust has two meanings to me now. Bust for the team that drafted you or Bust as a player. Ex: sam darnold
@matthewlawlis2421Sooo....what about bryce young and mccarthy??? They are TERRIBLE
@wcarlosbrownCJ stroud is a bust??? The man has only taken his team to the playoffs each of his 2 season in the league… what about Joe Borrow??? Boy ain’t did shit since his first year… Lamar Jackson can win a playoff game… Trevor Lawrence ain’t JUST NOW making the playoffs after how many years??? CJ doing better than Caleb Williams, and Bryce Young…then Justin Herbert been in the league how long and has done exactly what??? Dak Prescott can’t make the playoffs nor win if he does… Kyler Murray has done absolutely NOTHING in his many years??? Josh Allen is a turnover machine and can’t get a ring to save his life… CBS sports is a whole joke anyway…
@vermasdinero2113ts straight ragebait
@912_tonioWhat about Trevor Lawerence only one winning season
@Hansdolo7C.J. is a bust. It's why the Texans won't amount to anything this year.
@dm8064The man goes to the Playoffs three years in a row and he's labeled a "bust" candidate. Lol
@tommychoi2832How is Justin i'm on my 3rd head coach Herbert not on this all black list
@KAGEFOREEVERHow y’all gonna make a bust video and not include Mr. Bust himself, Trevor Lawrence
One good year don’t make up for five terrible years 🤷🏽♂️
Check around is that guy chill, his offense is horrible
@JackGoBigOrangeOh man I can’t wait for the season to start and casuals can finally see what CJ looks like with a competent OL , TE room and RB room. A bunch of yall are going to look stupid af and I can’t wait ! 😂🤫
@spaceman2414She opens up by saying "Texans fans are worried he can be a bust"
All lies. Dont paint Texans fans that way.
We want him to prove to himself that he can take us all the way. We are hoping for him to take that step foward. Hes done alot in his early career.
I can’t believe Stroud is on this list…. WTF is ya thinking!
@htownallday4279Bryce young had the same reason for struggling with his supportive cast around him but still oh no oh no Bryce Young’s a bust!!! Tables have turned Bryce is evolving.
@jaycruz437I wonder how many hall of fame quarterbacks, had poor playoff performances in the beginning of their careers..hmm
@windy.way0Someone didn't tell Marvin Harrison he can't ride daddy's coat tail forever
@jjramos46CJ Stroud on the bust list and not Bryce Young should tell you something!
@PantherPride2k1My problem with this is, how could CJ be a bust when we were 2-14 before him and have made playoffs every year with him? Meanwhile bust has never been mentioned in the same breath as Justin Herbert and CJ’s had a better career than him thusfar
@vindictive00700how he the best rookie qb we seen in some time but jayden daniel’s was literally drafted a year later
@9mooshiestyCalling him a Bust is crazy. Who tf is you white boy
@HuntersHunt-t4rCJ is overrated because they like his image. He always throw behind his receivers.
@TheSpokenWizardThis is corny as hell. Cj stroud did mess up in the playoffs. But he had his most accurate season last year he was starting to cook vs the broncos. The Texans o line sucked. So did the the running game and play calling. Literally look up the rushing yards and rushing TDs.
@Ed713who is a bust and who will be? well, this will be an easy and short list: Josh Allen-AGAIN! Lamar-AGAIN! Dak Prescott-AGAIN! Drake Maye-AGAIN! Stafford-AGAIN VS THE SEAHAWKS! and Brock Purdy-AGAIN! now, Stroud is the biggest bust! followed by Aaron Rodgers, Caleb Williams, Tua, Geno, Ty Simpson, Jordan Love, Kyler Murray and the list goes on and on…(yawn!). now the QBs who are top of their game? simple, Darnold, Bo Nix, Trevor, Mahommes, Burrow, Mendoza, Hurts and Geoff…(mic drop)
@ScottB-d8bEver notice how these places are super high on a particular looking group of players but not on others? 🤔
@anrob1865JJ McCarthy is number one bust for me
@robertgreenwood1446All Black players again huh
@WWG3802Tua is a Tyreek merchant with limited size, arm talent and has a concussion history. Penix is younger and more talented.
@ContentionalWisdomI’m amazed because CJ’s pro comp was Dak Prescott, yet I would say he’s consistently had a better defense from day one. The only thing that I thought was questionable was trading Tunsil trade an All-Pro Tackle for a pick to take a tackle in the draft unless he’s the consensus top tackle at the position ready to go day one. They’ve done pretty much everything else to surround him with the talent needed to compete at the highest level he has to elevate his game this year no excuses.
@We_About_That_LifeIf he was white they would be calling him a bust but they aint allowed to...hes basically another Carson Wentz
@jaisriram295Can is a bust
@tsaicha115Mighty funny that you don't see no white quarterbacks. On the bus list, Trevor Lawrence heaven did nothing. Since he joined the Lee number one overall Pi aint one nothing. But you never hear about em
@royalexclusivedetailing7532CJ Stroud is NOT a bust. CJ has led his team the playoffs every year he has been in the NFL. Is he that top 5,10 QB everyone thought he was as rookie, maybe not. But he is far from a bust.
@oblivioustouch9012Who and their right mind has CJ on this stupid list is one of the stupidest person and has no clue about football at all. He had a horrible offensive line and was hurt last year. Just you watch him have his best year as a pro this year. This is ridiculous this person doesn’t know football at all.
@jamesmercer5607ITS OFFICIAL CBS SPORTS HAS HAD SOME OF THE WORSE TAKES THIS OFF-SEASON. CJ Stroud should not be on this list and I’m a Falcons fan. Why isnt Bryce on this list who came out the same year in as Stroud? What has he done? If Michael Penix is on this list then his classmate JJ McCarthy should also be on this list.
