If he was able to have the success(team winning wise) that Smith was in KC, abso-fuging-lutely. We have never even had back to back winning seasons. That would be the most successful period in franchise history and would be a big step forward in establishing us as a contending team. We can always go get another guy when the opportunity presents itself(like Mahomes) but that would be a massive step.

Well I have to drive 12 hours today, so my being up early is intentional.

In that case, PJ and Will were forged at room temp.

Yeah, he looked okay but it was still preseason. If he performs like that against the Jets, it will be a sign that we might have something.

There were 17 reps in a clean pocket in that game???

Erving, Elflein and Daley all have pretty extensive injury histories, as well. I think we will see a lot of shuffling.

Don't worry, we would. So would basically everyone else in the NFL given those two scenarios.

That's not even an honest discussion. Peak Cam was so much better than peak Jake. That's like comparing Pat Mahomes to Andy Dalton.

Yeah, I know. I hope he has a plan.

They've literally been shuffling them all offseason, so if that is an issue, they retarded the process of gelling pretty considerably. I like most of what Rhule has done with the team and the direction we are headed but I simply cannot figure out what he is doing on the OL. I hope he knows something that the rest of us don't.

I think Rhule took a flier on a younger guy that was more athletic to create some competition(wasted a pick in the process, IMO). It just didn't work out that way. By all account, JJ won that competition fairly easily.

Not a ton of time left to make trades.

Boy.....I hope like hell he is lying this time.

I think Howell probably is going to take himself off a few draft boards since he is Captain Anti-Vaxx. If we are still dealing with this poo next spring, that isn't going to play well when the NFL has made all these rules to basically mandate being vaccinated. Just trying to stir up that normal debate but that has to be an actual draft concern given the way the NFL is currently. Perhaps this won't be the case in 2022, we will see.

In a practical sense, if that OL doesn't improve dramatically, those deep routes may not be available as often as we can scheme them open.

Pretty obvious. He doesn't like Cam. There is no other argument to be made for anyone in our history over prime Cam. Not even my favorite players, like Smitty and Peppers. We have never had a player that can and did dominate games like Cam at his peak.

Robinson indicates it's a source from a team that was involved at some point, so that actually makes sense. I don't think Watson's camp cares much about leaking trade information at this point. They have their hands full with the off the field stuff.

Yeah, I think that is just about maybe getting something for basically nothing(Perryman, Little) or the ability to bring in a guy like Santoso in a pinch. Rhule was pretty ruthless last year with cutting people too.

Give me Gross, Kalil AND Cam then watch the fuging #1 offense in the NFL.

Doesn't sound like the Texans are coming off the price, so even with conditional picks as part of the deal, I don't think I would pull the trigger at the price they want. Three 1st round picks and two 2nd round picks would severely hamper our rebuilding efforts.

It's very interesting that it is a team that is no longer in the running that is spilling the beans. I am pretty amazed the Texans haven't come off their initial price, if those reports are accurate.
