That's an awful stat! It also belies the fact that we need a dynamic top tier QB and OC (in my opinion).

Yep!

I'm not gonna lie. Though I listened to the interview, I overlooked that little tidbit! Not saying that this is the case here...but sometimes the things that people seemingly say in passing are the the things that mean the most.

I read that his parents were/are Lebanese. Who knows?

Intelligent guy. Makes good decisions! Good size, strong arm, accurate--seemingly the quintessential pocket passer. But, isn't nearly as mobile as today's younger franchise QBs. Questions about how he can handle defensive pressure because his pockets were pretty damned clean at Bama!

I never said that it was! In fact, my second comment in this thread intimated that it isn't! On an off note, The Texans are just trying to placate Watson now! If I were him, I'd see right through it!

When I think of win-now mode, that doesn't relate to a 9-7 season (unless you're Ron Rivera in a division full of suck)!

Yeah, it's utterly useless to have a discussion with many folks! And that's why I don't frequent the "Litterbox".

Like I said, the data tells a story. If you want to deny it, you do you! That's what you and others like you have been doing all your lives!

It has already been reported that Watson would consider the Panthers, so...

Denial of history and denial of social and economic data that indeed does reflect that racial discrimination is still very pervasive in America and that it is still very much causitive and effective of negative results (some having their origins at the birth of this nation) is ignorant and/or morally unacceptable! In other words, it's racist! Point blank!

I think that's a bald-faced lie, but let's say that it's tue, it sounds like some are privileged and some are not, and sounds like you are happy with that status quo. Typical!

You're right! And if everyone were on a level playing field, that would be fuging wonderful and incredible! But that's not the case! Don't lie and say that it is!

What the fug does your statement have to do with anything? Don't hide behind useless verboseness! In practical terms--in reality--the only way that oppressed peoples will have equity is when society starts giving (showing) them equality!

LMFAO! This is why I hardly ever go to the TB. I have little patience for people who try to skirt around the issue of racism by giving all kinds of reasons why this case and that case can't possibly be the result of systemic racism. I'll tell you like I tell anyone else; the data in this country tells a story. That's why I like Andrew Yang who is data-driven. His solutions are data-driven and fully in tune with what's happening in the 21st century as opposed to the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. But, getting back on point, blacks in this country come out on the negative end of the spectrum--the short end of the stick--by just about every social and economic measure that you can think of (e.g. infant mortality, home ownership, education and higher education, incarceration, loan rates, ability to get loans, communities subject to questionable environmental conditions, covid-19 deaths, wages, etc.) If you want to pretend that this is not the direct result of systemic racism and oppression, that's your choice, but this tells me all that I need to know about you in your regards to a sense of fairness, justice, empathy, and morality. Now I'm not saying that maybe this isn't currently the issue with the Texans and Bienemy. On its face, you could say that since the Texans appear to be on the way to hiring a black coach, that racism plays no part in this. But looking at the reported issues surrounding the owner and reasons that Deshaun Watson is disgruntled, and the appearance that it seems as though the Texans are trying to make Watson happy and/or at least save face under the pressure of his anger, I'd suggest that there is at least a chance that racism has indirectly played a part in all of this, just like it continues to be pervasive in many social and economic sectors in this country, as reflected by the data. Lastly, if you believe that blacks are on the negative end of the spectrum on pretty much all the measurements because blacks actually are inferior, then you're a racist, point blank!

Some people who have certain personal issues will default to trying to impune the legitimacy of anything that speaks about said issue. I dislike posters that poo posts for no good reason. It would be nice if it didn't actually affect your community rep until you got maybe three to five on the same post by different posters who've already established a certain amount of rep themselves. But, it's like I say: "poo flows both ways!"

Houston is a great opportunity to fail.

Paper thin resume? What in the world?

If Bienemy didn't take himself out of consideration, then at some point you just have to say that something's up with the guy! He must not interview well, or rubs people the wrong way. It's got to be something.

I may be proven wrong, but I'm really going to assume that Bienemy got smart and took himself out of the running. You have to be pretty desperate at this point to take up job where you're set up to fail. That, or you think you're head-coaching Houdini.

Stafford doesn't want to come here, guys! He wants to go to a 2021-22 contender!

He wasn't ready to compare him to the top four guys. That's for a reason, guys!

Let me correct and clarify: NFL teams who already have dealt for first round picks like the Jets & Dolphins could trade more than three, but we can't because NFL teams are restricted to trading more than 3 years in advance.

You can't offer four first round picks. It's not allowed.
