Welcome to Houston Cade Stover

Lucky said:
I understand your trepidation over this selection. We don't have to recount the previous horrors that were the Texans TE picks since Owen Daniels left. But, I've got good news. Our long wait is over. Finally, a Houston Texans TE draft pick we can believe in! Look at the facts.

Both Daniels and Stover played in the Big 10.

Both Cade and Owen have 4 letter names. With two vowels and two consonants each.

Cade's college number was 8. Owen Daniels college number was 11. Transpose the 8 over the first 1 in 11 and you get 81. Owen Daniels number with the Texans.

Transpose 8 over the second 1 in 11 and you get 18. The number of years between the drafting of Daniels and Stover.

Add 81 + 8 + 11. It's 100, of course. Divide that 100 by 10 (the name of their college conference) and you get 10. A perfect score.

Everything lines up. The facts and numbers are undeniable. Cade Stover is the Chosen TE.

You never hand anyone 100% control of a team... but CJ has played a major role in turning this organization around.... he has earned the right to have a level of input.

IMO if the guy has the potential, ehy wouldn't you pursue a guy that has history and your QB wants if it doesnt cost you an arm and a leg?

We arent talking about a second or third string rookie that has to ride the bench. You're talking about a QB rookie that broke records and IF you want him to be the face of your organization, allow that face to have a voice. Doesn't mean you do everything that voice says.

Stroud hand picked Dell and we all see the potential Dell has if he can stay healthy

No, he didn't. It is well documented that Stroud was approached by DR and Nick on what he thought about Dell. They already had their eye on him and wanted more input, not permission. No competent GM/HC is letting a Thursday night pick dictate a Friday night pick.

Not only that - but Nick had Stroud calling Tank to see if anyone else was talking to him to make sure someone didn’t possibly draft him and they miss out.

So we drafted a TE with a "nagging" knee injury and has to wear a knee brace. Wonder if there is a more detailed report on this?

His knee injury was a Grade II MCL for which he wore a stabilizing knee brace for the second half of last season. Studies have shown that stabilizing braces can be helpful in preventing lineman MCL injuries. Braces are used with players returning from Grade III MCL ruptures. However, there are studies that question the value of braces post Grade II MCL tears. One study has actually shown that those with a Grade II MCL do better quicker without the brace.

There is no secret that lineman do not like wearing knee braces............most feel it hinders their mobility. Skill players seldom wear braces as their performance is definitely blunted.

The good news is that once healed, recurrence is not necessarily increased risk without overt direct trauma to the outside of the knee.

Owen was a 4th round rookie.. Lucky forgot about that. 😁. Productive potential game altering Tes usually flash their potential early on regardless of what round they're taken in. That's why it's such a hard position to draft. They are the ultimate tweener on the field.. A lot are moved to the position late or barely played football at all. But when you find a good one it opens up the entire offense and is well worth the wait.

Sometimes, but he also has a legit starter in Schultz ahead of him and again is learning the position.

I'm doubtful that he comes in and is immediately outplaying Schultz to the point that they then cut Schultz.

Just my opinion though.
 
Researched another injury which Stover has sustained. It was during the 2022 post season Peach Bowl for which he was taken to the hospital with severe back pains. An MRI demonstrated a fracture of a transverse process of one of his vertebra. These cause very severe pain secondary to back muscle spasms. But once healed, they are seldom an issue in the future.
