Yea where everyone should blindly defend anything and everything the franchise does, regardless of how shtty the decision was. It's one of the reason why our mediocre franchise has a filled up stadium every single year. We have fans like u and Hey Now! there regardless of the results.
Mr Scarface: The Texans are the greatest Mr Clutch: The Texans are the worst Hey_Now: The Texans aren't the greatest but it's not their fault...and they're close zeeshan2: I'm just here to report the news
Agree. The window is now. The Texans have lost three games but they are playing a first place schedule. The DB injuries caught up last week but its something they can overcome. This is a good trade. Drummer put it in complete perspective listing other 3rd round pics. Listing their 3rd round failures failures is a backhanded defense but a legitimate point
With our lack of picks next couple years and several expensive free agents, yes this year indeed will be our best chance for awhile.
Watson's eventualy huge contract does not close the window, it just makes it harder to fill holes, not impossible. But as long as you have an elite QB you have a shot. What we can't do is take years for granted, because as the Colts learned, this is football, anything can happen. And while it seems like a long shot this year, you never know what can happen in a game, sometimes you are just in the right place to get lucky and get hot at the right time, like the Giants.
Agree. Just meant that the having a good QB on a rookie deal window is closed. Now they will actually have to build a team without Watson being way under paid
Tell me how many picks and in what rds will they be missing next yr? In 2021, sure they will be missing picks, but tell me did the 2018 draft kill the franchise? Nope, and neither will the 2021 draft.
And it can be done. Do you go 1st on getting DW4's deal done or do you wait for Mahomes deal to get done 1st.
You keep acting like they literally traded every draft pick *and* have no cap room, which not even remotely true. The longer-term fallout - if there is any - will be 2-3+ years from now; their short-term outlook doesn't significantly change. They have a core group of very good players that isn't going anywhere and the immediate financial space to retain it, as well as add to it through later rounds of the draft. I really struggle to understand what keeps some of you invested in the team........ You cannot extract yourselves from rampant negativity, 24/7 doom & gloom, and worse-case only scenarios. I mean, you guys BATHE in it.....
I think Mr_Clutch's point is the best way to surround a max contract QB is to have cheap labor around him. And the best way to get cheap labor is by drafting them. We saw GB go through this with Aaron Rodgers and to a lesser degree the Seahawks. I think the Texans will be fine. I don't think sending high draft picks for good players is sustainable over a long period of time; but for now it should be fine.
We are missing first round picks the next two years. We have no third rounder next year. We have no second rounder in 2021. There is about $100 million in capspace next year I think, but they need to give new contracts to Watson, Tunsil, reader and mercilus. Not to mention several other starters are free agents too. And more in 2021. To top it off, the team is average at best this year. What exactly is positive about this situation? How does an average team get better with limited picks and capspace? It's a historic meltdown that will be talked about in future years as to what NOT to do in building a team.
Texans will have 1, possibly 2 3rds as compensatory picks in the 2020 draft. Watson’s and Tunsil’s extensions wont kick in until 2021.
There's the guy that doesn't feel the need to pile on and stays out of the fight. Then there's the guy that jumps in the fight and starts swinging back.
