D J called a break out performer after the first two games:
D.J. Reader has already been a breakout performer for Bengals
D.J. Reader has already been a bright spot for the Cincinnati Bengals.

What point?
Very small sample size
Every time I read this stat. I wonder why we never posted or discussed that regardless of QB salary, no former Belichick assistant has become a HC and won a Super Bowl.

I'm so glad Watson won't be making 13.2% of the cap any time soon. Hopefully the new regime can manage the finances better than the last three.
FuzzyLogic
Mathematically Possible
In other news - no Houston QB has ever won a SB regardless of their cap %.
No QB named Deshaun has ever won a SB.
No team, in the history of the league, has ever won a SB with a Watt brother on the team.
If a frog had wings it wouldn't bump it's ass when it hopped (of course if it had wings, why would it hop? I smell a conspiracy)
Facts people - We. Are. Doomed.

I wished I knew 13.2% and all these things were as certain as death and taxes. It would have save me from making so many trips to Specs.
True and I wouldn't hire a BB assistant because of this. For every Flores you get a Patricia or RAC as HC.
The truth needs to be driven home.
26 yrs and counting.
Over 50%
It hasn't been a qtr of a century yet, but there have been 1/2 century of SB's
Whatever they are, they'd be worse without Watson.
Where they're at right now they should've blown it all up and started over. This includes DW4. Better isn't good enough.
Oh well 160 mil later that's water under the bridge.
Texans org is really good for entertainment value. I LMAO all the time at the McNair's.

Hahaha you don’t ever get rid of your franchise dude. Like I stated before, you’re not fooling anyone.
You do if you don't think your franchise dude can bring you a championship.
Obviously Cal agrees with you and that should scare you but it won't.
So the first SB in the cap era was in 1995. So my drumk self can't do math, still less than 50%
What would our chances be of winning a Super Bowl in the next 2 years if they did?
The same 0 percent but the future would be brighter.
This 13.2% cap on QB is a ludicrous idea.
Corrosion or whoever started it wants to mean that it leaves the team with little money left to build a team.
And he (they) use as proof that no QB that ever won a SB occupied that much cap space.
But that is a fallacy of argument.
As I had shown at least a couple of situations where teams that had won a SB still has plenty of cap space to do whatever they want.
(If I continue to look it up, I'm fairly sure I'll come up with more.)
So whatever @steelbtexan wants to call "truth" is actually a Big Fat Misinformation and not even a half-baked truth.
It was the 94 season and that seasons SB was playwd in 95, but yeah
That’s that same, “Get rid of Keenum/Yates & spend more money for Fitzpatrick/Hoyer.” Thinking that got us here. We’ll have barely winning, slipping into the playoffs if we’re lucky team ready to fall apart once we find a franchise QB.
Building around DW4 would be like building around Alex Smith. We’ll have a division winning team ready for Mahomes to take us to the next step.
I think the fallacy is that the SB winning QBs of the last decade has had 13+% contracts at one time or another in their career. Just not at the time they won the Super Bowl. Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Ben Roethlisberger won Super Bowls as top paid QBs in this league. Whatever shenanigans Brady & New England played or structure the Steelers, Colts, or Broncos used to allow them to build their teams, they did. & regardless what cap is or will be we’re going to find a way to build a team. It’s not like they can say, “we’re not going to play this year.”
A quick look shows that the 2019 cap was set at 188.2M
The Chiefs only used 155.6M of that amount (including Mahomes).
Less than 83% of the cap space.
Yeah, teams have more than enough room to pay their starting QB 13.2% of the cap if that's what they choose to do.

2024 / Rebuilding Block 4 After Playoffs / Texans
Based on Texans history.....you could shite in one hand and wish in the other.....you know how the story goes from there.
I'm good with fully rebuilding under the new regime, that includes DW4. Build the team back up with the draft picks gotten in trade and the cap space gained from those trades over the next couple of yrs. Then trade multiple picks to get your QB if a Manning/Warner situation doesn't arise letting you get your QB that way. The Texans have never done business this way and never will as long as the McNair's own the team. Just another reason the Texans wont ever win a championship with McNair's owning the team. They never fully clean house and will always be stuck in mediocrity because of this. McNair's gotta make their $$$$.
True, that's another reason why the Texans will never win under the McNair's ownership.

The key is to structure your contracts in a way to give yourself a chance to win a SB. Mahomes has a chance to break this trend because they can cut guys like Hill and draft another speedster to replace him. They already have Hardman waiting in the wings to replace Hill/Watkins etc... in a couple of yrs. Plus Mahomes is a transcendent talent.
What you showed is that they pushed that money to future years. (The Brady cap hit was a joke as he was a Free Agent).
Fact still remains that no QB has won a superbowl earning greater than 13.2% of the cap in that year.
That doesn't mean it can't happen ..... but 26 years and many HOFer QB's later should be plenty of evidence that you still need a quality team around that guy - You know , the same argument you guy's make for Watson - He needs X Y & Z ..... well , when you pay him 20% of the total , you are starting out behind the 8 ball in those seasons.
Card Stacking.

Any thought as to who would step up to buy Texans if McNair did put the team on the market? Do you have any concern that a new owner would relocate the team?
Why start over, almost got this one broken in. 3... 4 more seasons & he'll have made all possible mistakes. Then it's good times ahead.

So...we are going to eliminate repeating mistakes? What makes you think that? One of the guys on today's game said Crennel could be HC next season with Easty remaining GM. Shudder.
You've been a Texans fan longer than any HC has been a HC of the Texans. You've been a fan longer than any GM has been a GM of the Texans.
Just wait them out. Other than @Thorn Time is on our side.

Just do not forget I am 70. Not so sure about time anymore. Besides I could have had more fun and pleasure Sitting by the pool today looking at the lake.
I dont know who would buy the Texans. If local I would think somebody from the energy sector. I'm not worried at all about a new owner moving the team, with the guaranteed sell outs. A new owner would be crazy to move the team. The Houston Texans are a slot machine that's paying off millions every yr.

I'll be 70 next year. No biggie. The only thing that really effects me over time is how stupid people get stupider and having to deal with that.
I had no idea. You come across much younger
