Thanks for your support!
There was supposedly a trade in place at #6 according to CnD and RS at the last minute decided to nix the trade and instead waited to trade for Derrick. Much to the disdain of BOB/Scouts, You saw the Pic in the war room where RS looked to be the only guy happy in the room. BTW, we haven't heard much of RS bragging about hitting on the Derrick pick lately. Wonder why?
And you know this trade to #6 was not known at the time. I was as upset as anyone
You can say that just about every year. For every Peyton Manning there are 10 Ryan Leaf's.
Stroud is vastly different from any other OSU QB that's entered the draft or that I've ever watched. I've brought up the OSU QB curse many times. Stroud is far and away better than any of the others. My only real knock on him, after watching several of his games, is his limited record. I like to see more starts in a QB than Stroud has. Other than that, he shows good vision, accuracy, and throws with anticipation. He doesn't have the strongest arm in the world, but it's more than adequate to make any pass in the NFL. I like Stroud over Young for one reason: size. Stroud has an NFL frame. Young does not.

Levis reminds me very much of Josh Allen. Cannon arm, suspect accuracy and overconfidence in his ability to force the ball into tight windows.
For the record. I would draft Stroud at 1.2 and let Mills take us into next season as the starter until Stroud shows he can handle the speed of the NFL. I am not a fan of starting rookie QBs right away. Too much difference between college & pro players and schemes. I also wouldn't be against bringing Jimmy G and letting him be the bridge QB if Ryans is hired as the HC and brings in a WCO disciple of the Shannahan tree.
I would then spend every other draft pick fortifying the OL and front 7 on D. Build to win in the trenches then start picking up the skill players. And for the love of God, don't draft another TE!!! Unless he has an injury list longer than his games played.
Why? I can be an internet GM like the rest of you, so I'm good.
I’m not on here talking down any player and saying who I won’t take. I don’t have any specific agenda and I most definitely don’t act like I know more than a GM or scout. You will never read a comment from me saying this player is not worthy, or there’s not a franchise quarterback in this draft. Why, because I don’t know that.
You thought Goff was the second coming of Joe Montana when he was drafted.
Still steel, Carr would be a substantial upgrade over Mills. If we can start to build a team around him, he can be our best QB we have had here in Houston.
Which speaks more to the level of QB play down on Kirby than anything else.
What's even sadder is Good Schaub is still considered our best by most pundits - we need to change that.
Then by those statistics, for every Tom Brady there are 50 Ryan Leafs.
How is that sad? Prime Schaub was damn good, with a sick play fake. People seem to only remember 2013 Schaub and ignore the numbers he put up for 3+ years.
My main point is that we need better and I think that is Derek Carr.
I was very high on Goff coming out. He had great accuracy and poise. He was starting in the PAC12 as an 18 year old, and playing well. He was in the Super Bowl in his 3rd year, Pro Bowl in his 2nd.
I believe that as well. It’s going to piss off the usual suspects. So we can get ready for the fire Caserio on every thread. We can look forward to some saying Cal made that call/pick. The senseless name calling from people well over 50. But call them out their names and all hell will break loose. And they will message the Mods complaining about how you just called them out of their screen name.
Well, when all of them end up on IR you know winter is soon to arrive....
I think it might have some impact. Honestly my top 3 are Ryans, Gannon, and Steichen. I’d be happy with any of them. The conference championship will provide more information on how their teams perform and how they’re coached. Ultimately I’m looking forward to see where this new coaching staff takes the team.
The good news is that there are currently only 4 HC openings right now, so the odds are favorable the Texans can land one of those three.
Interesting question. I think Ryans and Steichen are the only ones who can improve their stock. If SF holds PH to under 20, Ryans looks better. If PH puts up three or more TDs, Steichen looks better. Gannon, I think, is the only one who can't improve his positioning due to Purdy being a 7th round rookie. Getting blown out could certainly make him look worse.
You just degradate others opinions. You don't talk down players, although you have, you just talk down others opinions, like only your opinion had any relevance.
Now we have to result into childish drivel . I would go there but I’m going to respect the rules of this forum. Dude you can move around and don’t respond to any of my post. Better yet Block/ignore
I wonder if he can bring in Steve Wilks for DC
I would be more than willing to give up multiple picks to get one of the top 2024 QB's. They're worth the price IMHO.
You do realize that the Texans could do everything you've suggested, and still not get a top QB prospect in 2024, right?
Not to mention, by this time next year the class of 2024 may not be looking so good
OK there's a man with a plan: Dunno if it's the right plan, or actually it in fact may be the kinda plan that could send us off on the right path ? Detailed, very specific.

I’ve been wondering about Wilks or Evero possibly being brought in to be DC. They’ve both did excellent jobs where they were.
They have to. Mills has not done enough to cement himself as a starter. Too inaccurate. And I am a fan of his. Caserio wouldn’t be able to survive passing on Young or Stroud.
