Why are they not comparable? Please, waste your time so I can dive into that head of yours. I want you to convince me. I really don't see a huge difference in their careers before Cowher got Roethlisberger. If you want to cite regular season wins then take them. I want a Super Bowl and...

Cowher got to one Super Bowl (and lost) and two other AFC Championship Games before he got Roethlisberger; he did so with QBs Kordell Stewart and Neil O'Donnell. Fisher got to one Super Bowl (and lost) and one other AFC Championship Game; he did so with QB Steve McNair. I'm not saying...

I don't understand why people would say Fisher is overrated and Cowher is some kind of football god in the same breath. The difference between Fisher and Cowher is Ben Roethlisberger and Dick LeBeau. Think about it.

I get the feeling he quit.

They would have a harder time switching than the Texans, and honestly with the make-up of the team as it is it wouldn't make much sense. It would be a LONG rebuild and I don't see Fisher doing it in year 18.

Hookem's right, its about to get ugly for VY if stuff continues to leak. Some guys on the team were done with him. houstonspartan, gold star for you. You're absolutely correct.

Man, you've got to love seeing that :) I don't want to see Fairley in a 3-4 at all. I think he will do very well in a 4-3, think Warren Sapp. But he would surely do fine as a 3-4 nose.

Plus there would be a ton of threads here pleading VYs case whenever the Texans didn't win or Schaub played poorly. That would annoy even me.

Trade up for Bama's Marcell Dareus, or hope he falls in the Texans' lap.

It wasn't his ability that annoyed me the most. Sure he's limited, but his record does show he has been successful. He just never showed he could handle adversity and that's what did him in for me. I think he would do well in San Fran and pretty easily lead them to the playoffs.

I'm very surprised by this, but I think it's a good decision. One of them had to go and VY was the right choice. He can still play and will do fine somewhere else. He just hasn't matured as much as I'd thought.

I guess you missed this one...

Excellent post Mojo, the injury statistics you posted were very enlightening. We all hate to hear the injury excuse but it is sometimes a valid point to make, as it undoubtedly plays a part in the success, or lack thereof, of a given team in a given year. To see it in numbers like that is...

That's not at all what I took from it. He posted this as a general discussion about the NFL and how teams actually perform versus their projected strength of schedule. Jackie and myself came in thinking Thunderkyss needed to look at updated S.O.S. to further validate his point, but that...

Watched a segment on CNN last night with Max Kellerman and he said something I've heard before, and makes a little sense. Something along these lines: "Most teams in the NFL fall within 8-8; some of those teams get a little lucky and end up 10-6 and some face some adversity and finish 6-10...

Gotcha, you could also compare initial SOS with actual, and go from there. It is cool to see, from JC's link, that only 3 of the twelve playoff teams faced an above-.500 updated SOS, though it makes sense as to why.

Are the Texans headed toward a 3-4 set defensively? If they can get that down as well as possible (it obviously takes more than a year) I can see 10-6 and 2nd in the South. We will all be helped by the Jags retention of Del Rio. Some of you guys are upset over keeping Kubiak. Imagine being a...

:bravo:

Might be better to look at updated S.O.S. to take into account opponents' results from this season. Good discussion though

I think the Titans stick with Young, and if Houston wins this weekend (assuming the Colts win) I'd imagine the Titans would edge Houston in draft order based on strength of schedule as a tiebreaker.
