Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire they're not all Prima Donnas, CJ Stroud

NFL Rookie Quarterback CJ Stroud has been vocal about his faith in Jesus Christ. “My foundation as a man is that I’m a man of God. I’ve been scared and battle-tested, but I have the armor of God on me.”

Stroud has taken the Houston Texans from one of the worst teams in the NFL to making the playoffs in his rookie season. He constantly has given all the glory to Jesus Christ for his success.

“When I got to college, I found Christ for myself,” said Stroud, who often played with the shape of the cross on one of his thigh pads. It’s definitely something that I’m still learning to this day. I’m definitely not perfect. … It does keep me grounded; it does keep me humble just because I know anything can be stripped away at any point. I feel like God put me on this platform to preach his word.”

“Jesus laid His life on the cross for us – I really believe that. This is bigger than just football. Football is my platform. Spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ is my purpose. I think that's what God wants," Stroud asserted.

Good on him!

The U of Washington QB[Pennix] was also praising God for his accomplishments in a pre-game interview the other day.

Atta boy! I wish him the best in his personal mission. May the Lord work through him to bring people to Christ!

Good for him on that note, but I disagree with him on his stance on prison reform. His dad had a rap sheet a mile long, repeat offender and was sent away. But it is the criminal justice system that is corrupt and keeping him there?

Some excerts from a CNN article. CNN propaganda piece

"Stroud was raised for the majority of his life by his mother after his father, Coleridge Bernard Stroud III, pleaded guilty in 2015 to charges of carjacking, kidnapping, robbery, evading an officer with reckless driving and misdemeanor sexual battery. As a repeat offender, he was sentenced to 38 years in prison."

“Was blessed to be able to have a great dinner the other night to discuss and shine light on prison reform and our corrupt criminal justice system and how we can get things fixed. Was able to explain my story and how this issue has effected [sic] my life and so many more families around the country,” Stroud wrote."

Off the field, I fully endorse his 1A rights. Hold interviews, ralles, marches, protests, preach to the choir - have at it!

On the field, during game time or interview there, he should play football. He is really good at it! Give a solid answer to any questions asked is fine- then it isn't on him, or the team, or the NFL.

But no kneelling, Black Panther salutes, preaching, politics, etc. Sounds like he is convinced his old man (and by extension himself and all other blacks) are "victims", by simply being black.

Can't argue that our so-called criminal justice" system isn't seriously flawed, given the never unaccoiuntable several tiers that are readily apparent.

As a black comedian once put it, "Ya'll want to stop being profiled, stop doing that s**t! The popo do it because it works!"

Seems like a great dude. Wish him the best!

If we'd publicly execute all sexual offenses and violent offenses, the problems with prisons would disappear. I'm guessing the problem with people making bad choices would clear up, too. But I guarantee that nobody would do it twice.

I'm a fan. Same goes for Quinn Ewers at Texas.

Good for him.

As if the Browns didn't have enough problems.......


Now this.

Thumbs up.
