If the shoe fits, wear it proudly.? Nothing about my stance is shortsighted at all. This is something I’ve noticed for years about a select few. When they don’t like a player, they’re extra critical.?l When they like a certain player , they throw around the same excuses they claim others do for the player they don’t like.
Neither the Colts or the Bengals had a brand new HC & a brand new OC. Neither the Colts or the Bengals fired their previous HC & OC twice in the previous two seasons.
It's not defending a player to say I'm going to give him three years before I close the book on him. That's all I said.
Do you by chance notice when you're doing the same thing?
I'm pretty sure I defended Watson up until that day he said he didn't want to be in Houston.
Once Watson was drafted I don't recall posting one way or the other on him. Until the *hitstorm hit, in fact, I was rather in his corner, about like I'm now in Stroud's corner. But I don't ignore facts.
They still drafted their franchise quarterback and built around them.
Then I wasn’t talking about you Numbers. And again when he got hurt against Dallas and played the following week, why didn’t we question those who we’re questioning his decision making, holding onto the ball too long and etc?
Unless you're a first round QB, you're not gonna have that much of a chance.
I wasn’t talking about you either then. And no I am not extra critical on any player unless it’s warranted.
Baller was very much in Mill's corner his rookie year and early in the second year until Mills continued to be inaccurate.
Mills didn't have decent blocking last yr either. Stroud's about to find out how the other half live. This ain't Columbus anymore.
The backaswards has continued.
Like with Carr
How would you compare Stroud to Lawrence coming out of college?
To be honest, I didn't watch enough of Lawrence's game tapes (and really do some research about his team and the opponents that he faced) to have a strong opinion.
Tell me of all the teams that had followed your method.
That doesn’t mean it will happen to Stroud. It didn’t stunt D4 growth.
Keep reading this thread, and someone will tell you.
By the same token, Watt was not nearly as skilled as Anderson entering the league. No one in the league would have considered a raw Watt over Von Miller entering the draft. But J.J. kept working, and his work ethic, tenacity, combined with his ability made him an all time great. That's what Ryans sees in Anderson. That's what J.J. sees in Anderson. I think Anderson is entering the league underrated. Because if everyone knew how good this guy is going to be, the Texans would not have had a chance to trade up to get him.
Sure hope your right...He def shows the work ethic and the humility to be great...hope he continues to work hard and progress and STAY HEALTHY...id hate to see an injury derail this young mans potential.
I raise you here.

This offense is perfect for Colllins and Dell.
And Stroud.

Even as a laymen I can see Stroud's growth. In the first 2 games he took sacks that he didn't have to. Now it seems he is learning when to dump the ball off or just throw it away. Early results seem to indicate he is what every coach wants. A gifted athlete that is highly coachable.
Yahoo Sports has the Texans at 18 this week.

Realistically to challenge for a division spot (barring a Jacksonville collapse) we'll need 11 wins, maaaaybe 10 will do it if we sweep the Jags and they underperform a bit. That means we gotta go 8-3 or 7-4 to end the year. We are almost certainly gonna drop another division game and the Bengals game. We also have some games against some very tough defenses with the Browns and Jets. 8-3 leaves very very little room for error and that's a tough ask from a rookie coach/rookie QB combo. I'm hopeful but it's not an easy road
The Jags will fall back.
Looking at their schedule
