He's not around any more... his daughter should be able to be talked/bribed into it
Bribed is the keyword.
She's an Adams at heart.
I do thank her for contributing to the city that she grew up in after Harvey.

If you are waiting years to draft a QB 1-1, based on the list below, even when you think a QB is worthy of 1-1, it's no indicator of future success.If I'm taking a QB 1-1 then I'm looking for a top 5 QB.
If there isn't one in this draft then I'm waiting to 2024 when Williams/Maye who are both better prospects than any QB in this draft are coming out.

I know that is the knock on Bryce Young. But what if he is better than Kyler Murray - would you take him #1?The guys I liked at the time were
Bradford
Luck
Winston
Burrow.
Bradford got hurt and Winston busted.
No midgets

Carter.Hey Steel where are you at now on this current Draft ?
I dunno are you still of the mind to take Will Anderson or Jalen Carter and pass on the QBs if we do in fact draft #1 overall ?
How much better?I know that is the knock on Bryce Young. But what if he is better than Kyler Murray - would you take him #1?
Carter.
Then I want Caserio to draft the best pass rusher availabile at 1-10 and the best pass rusher availabile at 2-32. Why? Because that's the strength of this draft. Along with TE and the center position.
Then draft 2 centers that can play OG. Fix the trenches in this draft then get the skill position players in 2024. Do I think Caserio will be allowed to do this ? Nope.
If Cal makes Caserio draft Young as I suspect then I want an all offense draft and fix the defense in 2024.
Will Carter slip - still in first round though? He's' recovering from an ACL and he's missed several games due to a "kidney infection". Do we know how serious this is? Or has he recovered?Carter.

Say consistently as good as Murray on his good days - which is how I think he pans out.How much better?
I'm leaning Stroud if we take a QB with our first.
I know Young is not prototypical size, but he will mature physically as they all do.The guys I liked at the time were
Bradford
Luck
Winston
Burrow.

See that's part of the problem as no one thinks he is 6 ft.I know Young is not prototypical size, but he will mature physically as they all do.
He is 2" taller than Murray - the same height as Drew Brees at 6'. He is 13 lbs lighter than Brees was when he came out.
He is not the size listed by Alabama and the mediaI know Young is not prototypical size, but he will mature physically as they all do.
He is 2" taller than Murray - the same height as Drew Brees at 6'. He is 13 lbs lighter than Brees was when he came out.
Like when he completed that big pass to Emmanuel Sanders to win the super bowl for the 49ers... oh wait.I think Jimmy G has the clutch gene.
1 missed pass doesn't negate what he's accomplished. He's probably going to get another shot at that pass again this yr.Like when he completed that big pass to Emmanuel Sanders to win the super bowl for the 49ers... oh wait.
So are you saying he's not an outlier?I know Young is not prototypical size, but he will mature physically as they all do.

You're on record that the McNairs are the #1 issue with the Texans. So, what are the odds that the McNairs will win a championship with or without a championship level QB?So are you saying he's not an outlier?
He's actually going to come in about 5'10 which is 2 inches shorter than Brees. But even if he's the same height, Young being a championship level QB is 1 in a million.
Slim to none.So, what are the odds that the McNairs will win a championship with or without a championship level QB?
Exactly. Looking at the history of championship QBs. Did anyone think Brady was a championship QB? If so, why did he go in the 6th round? Did anyone think Manning was a championship QB when he was playing for Jim Mora and leading the league in INTs? When the Chargers cut Brees did anyone think he was a championship QB? How about Rodgers getting picked late in the first round.Slim to none.
Our only hope is he lucks into the right GM/HC combination. He’s got to know when to hold him, know when to fold them, know when to walk away, know when to run.
I think it’s time to run

For the record. I don't really follow college football or the draft. I know what I don't know. I just find the championship level QB criteria/angle very interesting. Do you really know a championship QB until they win a championship?
This...No QB can become a championship QB without the right GM/HC combination and the complementary players around him. No championship QB is an island. This championship QB criteria is nothing more than paralysis by analysis.

Based on that criteria. Dan Marino and Phillip Rivers were championship QBs who never won....a championship? Considering how much Josh Allen runs. Is he a championship QB?Slim, but there's always a chance they get lucky.
Look at Burrow as an example of a guy with championship level traits. I believe Williams and Maye also have those traits. Quick decision makers that can deliver from the pocket accurately and run as a last resort. His arm must be strong but it doesn't have to be Mahomes/Allen Strong although that's a plus.
Basically a 6'2/6'3 Bryce Young.
Rivers noBased on that criteria. Dan Marino and Phillip Rivers were championship QBs who never won....a championship? Considering how much Josh Allen runs. Is he a championship QB?
Do you think the Bengals will make it to the AFCCG this year? The SB?Yep, Burrow showed up in Cincy and within 2 yrs they were in a SB. Of course Burrow blew out his knee so the Bengals could get 1 more yr of high picks, including Chase.
I'd draft Phillip Rivers today #1 overall even if I had to trade my entire draftBased on that criteria. Dan Marino and Phillip Rivers were championship QBs who never won....a championship? Considering how much Josh Allen runs. Is he a championship QB?
Tell me that Chase and Burrow/Mixon are healthy and I wouldn't doubt it. But probably not. If it was anybody but the Bengals I think they would at least have a couple of SB appearances in the next 5 years.Do you think the Bengals will make it to the AFCCG this year? The SB?
And to top off the game yesterday, which i’ve only seen clips of because I was watching the Nutcracker ballet. (Yes, I found the Nutcracker ballet more important/entertaining than Texans football!)
Whether Mills or Allen I sure Lovie lets the starter for Sunday take all of the practice time snaps this week rather trying to be cagy about the identity of the starter. I mean c'mon Lovie Mills or Allen is gonna have to go up to North Texas against that defense which is likely to maul our guys so give Sundays starter every chance to prepare as best he can.
Two weeks watching from the sidelines might give him some fresh perspective and do him some good but I won't be expecting miracles.![]()
Texans benching QB Allen, going back to Mills
The Texans are returning to Davis Mills at quarterback after Kyle Allen also struggled.www.espn.com
Two weeks watching from the sidelines might give him some fresh perspective and do him some good but I won't be expecting miracles.
One thing is for sure, he now knows he is under the microscope and on thin ice as starter next season.
I'm sure he did some soul searching and serious study - that is if he has aspirations of landing that big contract.He turned it around last season after the Texans got tired of watching Tyrod. Let’s see if they can catch lightening in the bottle again.
His focus needs to be on playing out his initial contract.I'm sure he did some soul searching and serious study - that is if he has aspirations of landing that big contract.
One would hope so lol.I'm sure he did some soul searching and serious study - that is if he has aspirations of landing that big contract.
Let's trade this guy for a 2nd rd pick to save a few bucks. Wasn't that the narrative by some around these parts last yr?
That's why non on this board are employed by the NFLLet's trade this guy for a 2nd rd pick to save a few bucks. Wasn't that the narrative by some around these parts last yr?
