What would you do if you were the Texans?

Clowney could have come out of highschool and been a starter in the NFL.  Freaks like him don't come around often.

 

His ceiling is GOAT, his floor is somewhere around Peppers.

 

It's probably worth the risk.  I'm glad we don't have to make the decision though.

 

No one actually believes that Clowney could've gone from HS senior to NFL starter.  The kid would've gotten CRUSHED.  There is no one at the HS level who is ready to physically compete in the trenches at the NFL level.

 

His floor is Peppers?  You cannot possibly be serious.

I'd be really surprised if they drafted Carr because of the bust his brother was with the Texans.

they know the biggest reason he was a "bust" was they did nothing to protect him. he was good and productive, but he got sacked a million times and spent most of his career in fear for his life. he was shell shocked and very damaged goods by the tike he got to us and the one thing he needed was a year or two on the sidelines to recover, which was the plan here but then tommy jone happened.

Houston appears to be on the verge of trading for Mallett.  Scratch QB off the list. 

that's not a serious step towards getting your franchise QB.

 

i wouldn't scratxh QB off the list for mallett. if they do that, they deserve to pick in the top 10 for a few more years.

Yeah, I agree, they handled that situation horribly. Still couldn't see them taking him because of that, though.

i think he has talent but when he actually gets blocked by NFL OL his dominance will not be so obvious.

You don't say?

That is the difference between potential and effort.

It's been reported from multiple outlets that every team in the top 5 believes the "effort" stigma surrounding Clowney is complete nonsense.

Maybe he can go to the Texans and be shown what's Watt and learn something.

I see what you did there.

Yeah, but I doubt they would draft a QB with Mallett and Fitzpatrick on the roster.

Hmmm... interesting.  I guess the Texans aren't worried about trading for a guy who NE selected to be their QB of the future and is now willing to trade him two years later when Tom Brady is 36.  I know Brady has talked about playing until he's 40, but every athlete is playing on borrowed time at 36.

they didn't draft him as a potential replacement, from what i remember reading. they did it solely for later potential trade value down the road.

 

it was just a case of him being supposedly the bpa at that pick, but they had no plans to actually keep him long term.

 

but your point still stands.

Well, in that case it looks like they played their cards perfectly.  I wonder what they'll end up getting out of the Texans for him?

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
