My stance, as of right now, would be to draft a QB, but a high potential guy like Richardson or Hooker in the 2nd round. Let Mills and FA compete in 2023, replace Lovie/Pep and build on the defense momentum and draft a WR1. Just look at the effect Tyreek Hill and Ja'Marr Chase had on their respective teams/QBs over 2 consecutive seasons - complete turnarounds.
I'm on board for Jalen Carter. I watched a video from a guy who made a compelling argument that his closest comp is Cortez Kennedy. Would love to have a disrupter like that in the middle of the line.
A pick sitting and learning for a year wouldn't be a bad thing. Worked out ok for Mahomes
Agree that they've got to get a staff in here for the future. Lovie is not the future. Period. End of story. The roster isn't the only thing that needs to be rebuilt. The coaching staff does as well. Screw the optics. The Texans are a team that nobody outside of Houston or connections to Houston, give a flying rat's ass about anyway. Why should optics matter to anyone? Winning 4 or less games 3 seasons in a row aren't bad optics?
True dat! Or that it means anything. Or that anyone associated with the Texans pays any attention. Or that it in any way reflects what the majority of the Texans fanbase thinks outside of general dissatifaction
I don't know if any are, but I'm not paid to make that call
With the coach we have, it's significantly more likely that a rookie defensive lineman will have success as opposed to a rookie quarterback. The team needs both better talent and better coaching.
Question answered
There isn't a franchise QB in this draft IMHO and if there was I wouldn't want Lovie and company coaching them.
Nobody
I'm less concerned about the coaching situation, which will iron itself out in Year 2 if not next year, then I am about the team wasting 3 years chasing the idea to have a franchise QB who turns out to be 'mid'. I don't want to walk into a Kyler Murray situation with Bryce, who looks great with a 5 yard bubble around him most of the time in college. If there's no true franchise QB, I still want to take one, just not #1 since there are more surefire options at positions of great need.
That's my thinking as well but when you need a QB you have to get 1 when you have the opportunity. If Caserio thinks any of the QB's can be that guy then he has to take his shot.
You haven't watched much of Alabama's games this year either have you?
You and I don’t know that.
Stroud sticks out too.
Makes sense. But remember what the Texans did in 2022 with “surefire options”
Did you miss the IMHO part of my post?
It’s not a IMHO when you’re steady repeating it. That’s more of an agenda you tend to push when you do not like certain players or you want them to draft who you want. Like I said we don’t know that. At least let them get on a NFL first before making that outlandish claim.
This is true.
So you repeating posts like the post I quoted isn't an agenda, but me thinking there's not a franchise QB in this draft is an agenda? Furthermore I think you've got a midget Young addiction. Disagreement isn't an agenda.
Most everyone here is saying the same thing. Lovie and his group not getting the job done
What does this mean? I mean, what were the expectations going into the season? There were really a lot who were saying 4 wins. We have two games remaining. The Jags being the toughest we play at home. We have a good shot at winning out, giving us 4 wins and a tie. If we pull this off, did we meet expectations? And if we meet expectations, did the coaching staff get the job done? Just playing devils advocate.
I agree but I think it's more of a lack of confidence in the staff to coach players up and produce an offense that can actually score more than 20 ppg and a defense that can actually stop the run at least middle of the pack. Maybe they can do it with more talent but it hasn't been shown yet. I want to see some creativity on offense and sound tackling at the least on defense.
Optics: Houston running it back with same coaching and philosophy that dropped them from two 4 win seasons to 1.
I don't think the Texans coaches are bad because the players are all bad. I think the coaches are bad because they cannot take the players they have and improve them.
I am concerned that Nick Caserio believes that pep Hamilton can take our 1.1 quarterback and coach him up. My problem is that pep can't coach up what we have.
Our defensive Foundation should be set with malik Collin's, Jerry Hughes and Okoronkwu. Heck Roy Lopez Nfl stats match Carter's college stats.
This year Alabama didn’t provide Young a 5 yard bubble most of the time. It seems you watched 2021 but not 2022?
Alabama will be going against #9 Kansas State in the Sugar Bowl on Saturday. Should be a good test for Young.
And yet they can't teach basics such as tackling and blocking?
Yes sir! Cal will definitely watch that game.
Remind you, you only said "compete for the playoffs". This is a rather low bar. It's possible the team from the AFCS could have an 8-9 record, this year. Against a tough schedule, the Texans had 5 loses of 7 points or less (to date). If we have a good draft and a weak schedule next year, it's possible we could sneak into the playoffs.
I want us competive going into 2024.
I thought you were saying that's why the current staff needed to be kept
When do you think they will be ready for the playoffs?
