Thats cool, I wouldn't. I'd rather have that good shot every year vs a hot streak. Nobody expected the Giants to win a sb. Hell, they got in at 9-7 and 10-6. Nobody would call Eli elite, which kinda proves a point, but you have to have a qb with talent who can play at an elite level. You're not going to find that late in the draft or sitting at home eating chips on a sofa. I'm not saying RGIII will save the franchise, I'm saying he's shown enough and he's young enough to be given a shot. The idea you can surround a guy with enough talent that he can overcome his shortcomings is very,very difficult to do. Alex Smith is a good qb, you're not winning a sb with him. He can get you some wins in the regular season, but just like in sf v ny, we saw 1-11 on 3rd down.
Why would you even consider a running QB who has repeatedly been reported not to be able to read NFL defenses and takes a run-first option because of his limited NFL intelligence quotient with an apparently infinite learning curve, not to be interested in voluntarily studying the playbook or be caught dead in the film room, have an inflated ego that takes the forefront to reality, and cannot work with and has become disliked by most of his teammates and coaching staff? And if you can get past all of this, how the heck can you get past his injury history?..........an ACL rupture in college........then an NFL injury history of a totally ruptured LCL (not a partial tear as widely reported), a meniscus tear, a 2nd ACL rupture........all of the aforementioned injuries empirically associated with articular cartilage damage....................then a dislocated ankle which is empirically associated with significant ligament and articular damage............and finally 2 documented concussions...................all occurring in a short period with only a 35-start history.
I know...........it must be that his injuries make him a better prospect in the eyes of the Texans..........if he can come here and just manage a few more, he should become the ideal starter we have always been looking for.
WHEN did he look better? I haven't seen him play recently (since the injuries), Have you?
I would hesitate using AP as an example of what you might expect in a player's subsequent performance. He had a clean ACL rupture, even more exceptionally unassociated with other ligament, meniscus or articular cartilage damage. Even so, he is definitely an outlier. And, as Grams emphasized, RG3 has suffered 2 right ACLs with the last one complicated with a complete rupture of right LCL with associated with meniscus and articular damage.............then a devastating left ankle dislocation. AP has evidently been left without joint instability, RG3 is unlikely to be so fortunate with 2 separate joints in 2 different lower limbs, leaving him with an increased risk for subsequent injuries.
The Texans will eventually get there if they get a real QB, and I don't mean RGIII. Watt may be retired by that time, but they'll finally become a SB contender.Try to keep in mind that all happened in the AFCS. And at a time of transition for the team that has dominated said division for most of the time. Still wonderful and all of that. But perspective is important here.
Not to get this started again, but I was not sure if any of you were aware of this awesome service.... Perhaps you all should exchange addresses and work this out via snail mail? Also, I'm curious how many of you would actually spend money to send this to an "enemy" as is suggested? Seems like something I would be more likely to send a friend because, I wouldn't piss on my enemy to put him out if he were on fire. But that's just me.
Elway is negotiating through the media and putting B.O. on notice. Elway already had one running QB who can't throw, why would he want another?
Both were there in 2011. I am light years ahead of Tebow in passing.
As Director of Player Personnel.
Welp...
If the Houston Texans sign Brock Osweiler to big money why can't we just accept that as fans and do our best to support the decision? If Bill O'Brien sees enough in him to make him our franchise quarterback then let's roll with it.
Why can't we accept the decision??? Osweiler stinks, anyone think he isn't is foolish. He's an slightly above avg BACKUP. He's not that much an upgrade over Hoyer
I love me some Andy Dalton from his Katy High School days.
