Why the h€££ did you not go after Clowney?

With the news that Houston paid half his salary and that it basically cost them a 3rd plus throw ins, I would have definitely been in on that. My concern was paying him $16M which we didn’t have. We definitely could have made $8M work.

Now his list was supposedly just the Seahawks and Eagles but surely he could have been persuaded to come play at home.

The problem is it's ultimately a one year rental.

Seattle has no guarantee Clowney signs an extension with them. Even if he does sign next year, any possible extension will be well over 100 million dollars if he has a big season.

Personally I absolutely would have liked to acquire Clowney, but realistically he is not worth Kalil Mack money, which is absolutely what he will end up commanding from Seattle if they intend on extending him.

1. Why the H311 do you invest more into one of the deepest positions on the team

2. Why the H€€ do you trade for a guy who you cant come close to affording 

3. Why the H€€€ do you trade for a guy as injured prone for the price youll pay

How is that possible? He didn’t sign his tender until after the trade.... the texans didn’t have to pay him.

He has been pushing for a new deal.  So yes, they are only paying. 8 off the current deal but he's wanting to get paid.  I believe he wasnt to happy with the franchise tag

But the cost was just a 3rd round pick and if he walked after the year we would get a 3rd round comp pick which essentially makes the cost of acquiring him swapping a 2020 3rd for 2021 3rd comp.

He had to sign his tender before a trade was actually possible to complete. That’s how he was able to say no to the Dolphins. So the order of things is the two teams agreed to the terms, Clowney signs the tender with the Texans, the Texans bonus him $8M then they completed the trade which left Seattle with $8M to cover on the rest of his salary.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of immature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.

      I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch

      What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.
