Texans still likely to be #1 based opponent W-L %Dammit I thought Minnesota won against Green Bay it's in overtime. Hello Minnesota
Vikings-Packers ended in a tie, which is almost as good as a Vikings win at this point.Dammit I thought Minnesota won against Green Bay it's in overtime. Hello Minnesota
Yes we are number one!Vikings-Packers ended in a tie, which is almost as good as a Vikings win at this point.
No ****!!!!!!!'Why couldn't we have had our meltdown a couple years ago
yepAll aboard the 7PM May 8th train headed to Bridgewater, Houston.
Ugh , I feel that's a waste of a #1 overall pick ... He might be the best prospect in this draft class but I don't think he's gonna be all than in the NFL.All aboard the 7PM May 8th train headed to Bridgewater, Houston.
Passing on the best QB in the draft for a RT sounds like a solid Plan B......Ugh , I feel that's a waste of a #1 overall pick ... He might be the best prospect in this draft class but I don't think he's gonna be all than in the NFL.
We are number 1. In suckitude.Can someone fix the title of this thread?
We WERE #1 in the AFC South. Now we're #1 overall draft pick bound.
#1 might be a bit steep of a price to pay for an RT .... not so much for an LT as its a bit more important position. I really try to trade back from #1 of I don't believe in the QB's.Passing on the best QB in the draft for a RT sounds like a solid Plan B......
I think you have to go QB. That's the logical answer really. No team will go anywhere without a QB. We don't have one. After years of complaining about Schaub we will finally be in a position to do something about it.#1 might be a bit steep of a price to pay for an RT .... not so much for an LT as its a bit more important position.

Im really torn again as to what to use the first rounder on , QB , OT , pass rusher ...
Sorry, was a little wound up when I started thread.Can someone fix the title of this thread?

Or next year when Jameis Winston becomes draft eligible.Why couldn't we have had our meltdown a couple years ago
As opposed to the floaters Keenum has been throwing or the floaters that fall short from Schaub?To All those in love with Teddy Bridgewater, take a look at his long ball and notice how much air he puts under it in order to get it there. It may be OK in college but in the NFL it's an INT waiting to happen. Can you say floater?????
Hard to argue against a QB .... just have to decide which one.I think you have to go QB. That's the logical answer really. No team will go anywhere without a QB. We don't have one. After years of complaining about Schaub we will finally be in a position to do something about it.
Bridgewater is not the same caliber of prospect as Luck, but how often does that guy come along? We might be waiting a while if that's what we're holding out for. Bridgewater is clearly the best QB in this draft, JMO, and is easily an upgrade over Schaub/Keenum.
Maybe Clowney gets 53 sacks the rest of the season and then runs a 4.35 at the combine .Hard to argue against a QB .... just have to decide which one.
Im not at all sold on Bridgewater. I might take Mariota over him based upon physical talent alone , he's just a bigger , stronger , faster guy .... with a bigger arm. Just not sure which one has the better mental game .... ugh. I hate the position we're in because I think any of them could be busts.
As good as I think he could be , its really difficult for me to take him .... Guys with motor issues ...Maybe Clowney gets 53 sacks the rest of the season and then runs a 4.35 at the combine .
Somebody would want him .As good as I think he could be , its really difficult for me to take him .... Guys with motor issues ...
Bridgewater definitely has the better mental game. That's why so many scouts like him. Watch his pocket presence and his progressions. Look at how unconcerned he is with the blitz and how quickly he gets the ball out under pressure. The only knock on him is competition. His arm strength isn't elite, but it's more than enough. IMO, the only reason he's not a consensus can't miss QB prospect is because he doesn't have the arm cannon that Stafford, Flacco, etc have.Hard to argue against a QB .... just have to decide which one.

Teddy has nimble feet to go along with what you mentioned . That's what stuck out to me .Bridgewater definitely has the better mental game. That's why so many scouts like him.

actually....As of today we now have the number 1 pick.
Pretty much. He has a nfl arm in the mold of manning,kelly,eli. His poise is about the best I've seen for a guy that young. There will be people talking trading down which foolish. Makes no sense for texans.Bridgewater definitely has the better mental game. That's why so many scouts like him. Watch his pocket presence and his progressions.

They did: 2010Why couldn't we have had our meltdown a couple years ago
Trade down get a top 10 number 1 a 2014 # 2 and a 2015 # 1. Fill the holes this draft yr and use the 2 number 1;s and a 2016 # 1 to move up to take Winston,Petty or my #1 guy Hogan.Passing on the best QB in the draft for a RT sounds like a solid Plan B......

Hopefully the new regime will focus on the foundation 1st instead of the HWNSNBM all over again,
This is the right way to build a team. Hopefully the new regime will know what they're doing.
After the last 8 yrs of Schaub, I would rather draft McCarron in the 3rd (Same size/arm stegth/taler etc in the 3rrd rd than take Bridgewater #1 over all. They have many of the same attributrs.Bridgewater definitely has the better mental game. That's why so many scouts like him. Watch his pocket presence and his progressions.

Unless you think the 2015 QB ckass is better and you can use the 2014 class to build the team correctly. We tried what you're suggesting repeating the HWNSNBM mistake again?Pretty much.

Winston's not going to jail.What if Winston is in jail ?!
I meant "first pick of the draft" meltdown. It would have been nice to have to choose between Luck and RG3.They did: 2010
And with that torn ACL he suffered this week he is just as mobile as Schaub too.After the last 8 yrs of Schaub, I would rather draft McCarron in the 3rd (Same size/arm stegth/taler etc in the 3rrd rd than take Bridgewater #1 over all. They have many of the same attributrs.
Are you thinking of Aaron Murray from Georgia?And with that torn ACL he suffered this week he is just as mobile as Schaub too.
You are correct. My bad.Are you thinking of Aaron Murray from Georgia?
So you would rather have Schaub Jr instead of a guy who compares favorably to Andrew Luck, albeit not quite that talented?After the last 8 yrs of Schaub, I would rather draft McCarron in the 3rd (Same size/arm stegth/taler etc in the 3rrd rd than take Bridgewater #1 over all.

I'd say Teddy doesn't have Luck's size . Teddy is quicker in his movements , sliding in the pocket and release . Like Luck , Teddy operates an offense used in the pros WCO . Like Luck , Teddy graduates in December of his junior year .So you would rather have Schaub Jr instead of a guy who compares favorably to Andrew Luck, albeit not quite that talented?
Bridgewater has the same quick release, quick feet, great pocket presence, and quick decision making that Luck does. The only thing he doesn't have is Luck's experience calling plays and making adjustments at the line or his elite arm.
I've seen what Schaub and McCarron can do. We don't need a game mananger. Game managers don't win championships unless they have the 2000 Ravens defense behind them. The league has changed and you need a Quarterback to win big.
I agree. My point to Steel though was why take McCarron and perpetuate the cycle. You can't win championships in the NFL with game managers. If you see him as Schaub Jr then why are you contemplating drafting him instead of running as fast as you can in the other direction.I'd say Teddy doesn't have Luck's size .

I was just saying the same thing yesterday to a friend. Why spend a draft pick on a "game manager"? If that's all you want at the QB position bring in a vet with those qualities at the vet minimum.I agree. My point to Steel though was why take McCarron and perpetuate the cycle. You can't win championships in the NFL with game managers. If you see him as Schaub Jr then why are you contemplating drafting him instead of running as fast as you can in the other direction.
Scouts see McCarron as an average or above average starter in the league. He's a guy who won't turn the ball over and can solidify a team's QB position. But he'll never take you to the promised land. He's basically Alex Smith.
Scouts see Bridgewater as a guy who can take his team to the next level, a lot like Luck did immediately with the Colts. The Colts have a horrible O-Line, a few good WR's and TE's and some not very good RB's. Luck carried them to the playoffs last year and will win the division this year.
If you see that guy, you grab him and build around him. You don't build around nothing and just wait 10 years for that guy to hopefully come along and you hopefully be in a position to grab him.
I really dont want a QB from this draft. Teddy doesn't have elite arm strength, I want my franchise QB to have elite arm strength and to have played against top competition. Teddy is a media darling who will be a good not great QB.So you would rather have Schaub Jr instead of a guy who compares favorably to Andrew Luck, albeit not quite that talented?
