Nawrocki is an idiot.
I like how he assigned TB small hands with no definitive proof. This chump isn't getting any inside scoops.
Once his hands are found to be adequately sized, we should dismiss every Nawrocki write-up. Both good and bad.
Oh yeah, and what he said about his handling pressure is a joke too. (See TB vs Pressure on that Roto writeup).
This guy also said Cam Newton would be a bust and get a GM fired. If Mayock didn't defend this guy openly I would entirely dismiss him (I think he defends everyone honestly).
This guy sounds more like ThunderKyss than an actual NFL scout.

Nawrocki has never been one to be inclined to make things up. Clearly your bias will not allow you to hear anything you don't agree with.

Where did he get definitive proof that Cam Newton would fail in the NFL and get his GM fired because 'he's caught up in the lime light'.
Answer me that one and I will give you the next asinine evaluation to answer with 'definitive proof'.
Here's Nawrocki if you want to know what a true idiot looks like. You might have unintentionally pictured this person in your mind.

I know exactly who Nawrocki is and apparently he has rubbed you the wrong way. Nawrocki was pretty much spot on with his evaluation of Newton's character. His leadership in Carolina has been questionable and while making the Pro Bowl players wanted little to do with Cam. Nawrocki did say Newton was talented but his talent would be comprised by his character.
Nawrocki is also considered one of the more respected evaluators in the business whether you agree or not.

Man I cant wait. This is the second year I do this as a hobby, research and analyze the prospects for the Texans. Thanks to Texian and his controversial article on RG3, now I made this into a hobby. I know we dont all agree here and sometimes arguments can get heated but in the end we all want the same thing, that right guy that will take our team to the next level. Thanks to everyone for posting well written posts I know I have benefited from a lot of peoples posts regarding Bortles, Clowney, Bridgewater and Manziel. This weekend will be a fun weekend to watch the combine.

Oh you mean this guy? Your golden boy, whom Deadspin wrote a mother F'ing article about saying exactly what I've been saying and just released that article 13 minutes ago so it's obvious I didn't just rip them off.

Keep trying bro. You lose this round and so does Nawrocki. It feels good to be validated. Dude is a joke and if you listen to the poison he preaches as truth you will end up like that snake bit joker preacher that died because he thought he could withstand the venom.
I should get paid for probably inspiring this writer. He probably ripped me off, but has a connection so he gets the National Cred.
Next your gonna start linking articles to Skip Bayless and when I question his idiocy you will tell me it's because I'm biased. All good brah.

lol, you're damn right I am validating myself with this article.
What do we do on this message board? We either report news or we state our opinions as 'facts' and try to back em up and debate them.
You called this guy the truth. I called this guy a clown and used specific examples. Less than 2 hours later a Deadspin (A National News Hub that is bad-A) comes out and basically says everything I said and uses the same examples I used.
You lose bro, or should I say... Nolan Nawrocki!
Note to self... next time Texian says something outlandish say "Nice try... Nolan Nawrocki"

This class was supposed to be "loaded". Now it's not good enough and we're waiting until next year. Guess what people will be saying about that class when we get there...

Ain't that something? I remember when people were saying cleveland did right because barkley,geno,wilson and them dudes were coming out. Next yr gets here and ej manuel goes in the top of the 1st,geno goes 2nd rd, wilson gets beat out by and undrafted rookie,and barkley and jones are 4th rd picks. Now here we go again,let's wait till the loaded class when in actuality,the only guy who really worth the top pick is winston. Those other guys have talent like hundley and mariotta,but neither has any polish orpassing game acumen.

It seems that all classes are loaded until they become draftable. Then people poke holes in them for 4 months and the class is no longer loaded.

They lowered the drinking age to 18 back in the 70s in large part because of your exact argument. The drinking and driving accidents associated with those under 21 along with the fatalities rose to alarming levels. They eventually decided that legal drinking at 18 was a bad idea and reversed the new law not long after passing it.
So you are OK with essentially pissing away this season .... watching the entire roster age another year , contracts escalating another year ....
You go tell JJ Watt we're gonna have the #1 overall again next year when you attempt to negotiate a contract extension .... and he tells you go @*&% yourself.
I'm not at all sold on next years QB class.
Hundley is a better physical version of Bridgewater without the polish or pocket presence.
Mariota is a wannabe Manzeil .... albeit bigger.
Jameis isn't all that and may not even come out , said he was staying a 3rd year recently.

I agree you only pass on this year's qb's if you feel they cannot be above average starters and have un correctable faults. If not then you take your guy, if you like all three maybe you trade back. I don't think lets wait till next season is a viable plan being that there are too many unknowns. Injuries, bad play, players staying in school, etc as someone has mentioned could render the QB class of 2015 sub par, not to mention you might not suck this year and have a high enough pick as it is.
I would draft a QB this yr and next yr.
You know, building depth thingy, I know it's a new concept for the Texans. This isn't an either or type proposition.

Not arguing with you, just providing detail.
The federal voting age was reduced from 21 to 18 in 1971. Most states tied age of majority, drinking and voting loosely together. Drunk driving was already on the rise and continued to do so dramatically across the board up to about 50 years old with the worst category being late twenties. MADD wanted outright bans or lowered thresholds but couldn't sell them for the most part and settled for nibbling at the fringes where they could muster the votes.
These were not the purview of 18-21 year olds.
They belonged primarily to the parents of the 18 year olds affected by the 1984 national minimum age change.

His hands don't look small to me in that video when he's gripping the ball.
It's because they are not too small. They aren't giant man paws, but they are plenty big enough to play QB in the NFL.

I know you're not arguing and I was feeling lazy and knew you would follow up with factual research. That's what you do and you're pretty good at it. I lived through this period and remember it fairly well. The state I was living in, legal drinking at 18 went into effect only months after I had turned 21.

I remember it well also. I was 19 when they moved it to 21 in Texas. They had grandfathered the prior move from 18 to 19 but didn't grandfather the move from 19 to 21.

I guess we're all peas in a pod. did a military stint in Colorado & 18 was legal age for 3.0 beer but was already 21. it really does explain a lot, now I feel parched

In my province of origin in Canada, it's 19. But since I lived in the Gloucester neighborhood of Ottawa, the legal drinking age of 18 was only 30 minutes driving away in Quebec across the river.
It's 18 in Quebec, Manitoba, and Alberta, and 19 everywhere else iirc

When I visited Rice on a recruiting trip one of their selling points was they didn't enforce 19 on campus, just 18.

I like that he has a good head on his shoulders and shows a lot of maturity. I think people just placed Andrew Luck like the next son of god and now people want someone like that so they wont have any questions as to who the "cant miss" qb is in the draft class. Even though wonder boy threw those INTs in the playoffs and HE cost them the game but oh well thats another thread. God these next three days cant get here any faster.

I'm feeling more confident than ever that Teddy will be the pick. He's straight business. If you think Manziel is a better pick.. Well, good for you supporting a Texas kid. Manziel may have more "wow" plays, but that's college. Bortles at #1? Not going to happen. Is Clowney really going to turn this team around? I severely doubt it.
Unless TB isn't the guy to turn the franchise around.
I think TB will help the team improve to become a 10-6 playoff team. Not a true SB contender. That's probably good enough for boardroom BoBBy
That's the same thing I think when people talk about Bridgewater running a "pro" offense & reading defenses. He's reading the likes of UCF & Cincinnati... Temple. pfft.... He's going to see more looks in the first qtr of an NFL game than he's seen in 3 years of AAC football.

Don't see teddy interviewing well.
Reporter- Teddy, what do you need to improve on?
Teddy - gets and dumbfounded look on face, then answers with a confused tone, "uh-nothing".
Yeh just not seeing it. Manziel on the other hand, well he's going to blow everyone away. He's got personality, confidence and swagger that sets him apart from any other top prospect in this draft.

Where on Earth do you get this idea? By all accounts Bridgewater is an intelligent, upstanding young man.
Overall, give the guy who finished his degree in 3.5 years over the guy known for hanging out with rappers. That said, I have seen speculation that Brdigewater is more a laidback type versus Manziel's well known bravo.
