Jesus that seems like a really tone deaf thing to say just after costing your team a win.

Jesus that seems like a really tone deaf thing to say just after costing your team a win.
Got me.
those thirds all overlap
I think that the Jags would have still went with Bortles.
Jags would not trade Bortles for Mack.
Good call. I wasn't looking at team needs. That makes it more complicated, doesn't it? In a vacuum, Carr would go first, but not to the Texans. Would they have taken Bortles? And the Jags would have grabbed Carr at 3?
Yes he would. What are you talking about? You think the Texans would pass on Carr (or Bortles) given the opportunity today?
BOB
I think if Houston had to do it all over, Carr or Bortles would have been snatched up. Most likely Bortles given the history with the older Carr, but it almost would have certainly been Bortles/Carr as 1/2.
The other guys are pretty damn good, but we all know what's important.

Stupid Eagles, I cant believe that they were the only team to pass on Carr in the draft.
Bortles. There was a video from the draft that year on NFL.com that showed the Texans having two cards ready to turn in. One was Clowney the other was Bortles.

No way the Texans would have drafted Carr after their history with his brother.
The Rams were still stuck with Bradfrod in 2014. They would have drafted ODB to save his career. And failed.
1) Bortles to Houston (because of the Texans history with Carr)
2) ODB to St. Louis
3) Carr to Jax
4) Mack to Buff
5) Donald to Oak
Maybe? I'm happier with how things really turned out.

Mike Shula is in a position to turn down the head coaching job at the University of Miami (Florida).
Cam Newton deserves the next five MVPs for that.

Carr is very clearly the better QB today. You really think the Texans would take Bortles over Carr if you gave them the choice right now because his brother failed 10 years ago?
There are always exceptions, but I think superior athletes win out. At the very least combine numbers can minimize the risks involved with drafting pass rushers.
I don't know about Dupree's 3 cone or short shuttle but I do know he jumped through the building.
Well, they would have drafted him in 2014 still. That's why I still think they'd go with Bortles. Management wasn't strong enough to convince the fanbase that this Carr is different. There's a reason that franchise has been irrelevant almost every season since their inception.
Poor bastards
MRSA is right, we shouldn't mess with that draft!

Which round does JFF get taken in the revisionist draft?
Four?
Seven?
The grocery store?

Browns still trade up for him.
I agree with you, but I also agree with Ez.
Texans shackled themselves to some degree by letting the past taint the future.
If Carr was the QB today, all the toxicity around the past would have been swept away with each game Carr played like he has. Problem is, I think a lot of Houston fans are on this QB carousel and have no patience. From what I saw of Raiders fans, they have knocked Carr when necessary, but the flashes from him made them patient and shut them up. I don't think they have that in Houston (or maybe it's just Mech). Maybe that would have been different with Bortles, but it wouldn't surprise me if we saw calls for some lower round bum to replace Bortles the second he fucked up.

Bob flipped on the QB that he picked to be the starter one game into the season. It isnt the fans, it is the HC who is the problem when it comes to the QBs in Houston.
There is no patience here and rightfully so. The Peyton wanting to go to Houston thing combined with Schaubs epic meltdown just broke the majority of the fan base.
You had a future HoF QB who had a few good years left wanting to come here to stick it to his former team twice a year combined with the guy you kept, Schaub, completely melting down in 2013 and Kubiak just kept rolling him out there. It was basically a giant "fuck you" to the fanbase
Hold up on that thought process. There are murmurs that Mallett being put in at starter after game one was not on O'Brien. That decision was made higher up.

So where's/who's the .01?

The GM told him to play Mallet and he went along with it? I cant believe that Bob would would sign a contract where he didnt have final say of on field personal.

So you and who else?
O'Brien does have final say on the 53 man roster. Only one person can override him on that.....higher than the GM
Used to be me and you. We were tight once but now all is lost.
I understand the team has the final call, but pressure from the fanbase is a weird thing in that some teams bow to it.
BOB and Smith have split duties with McNair having the tiebreaker.
The one thing I've always questioned, and I guess we'll never know is if BOB is McDaniels 2.0 in that he thinks he can take these Patriots cast offs and turn them into something at the QB position. It's easy to think that when Brady is leading the offense, like you are doing something special, but when you have just a guy there reality starts to set in.

We good Mech.
Left side!!

True. I just hate to see Carr end up in Houston.
How is that working out for him now
Dega after reading this:
So where is he trying to go?
Doyle is just trolling for clicks. I think it's just Luck being wreckless, I don't think I've heard of a player trying to injure themselves to leave a franchise. We aren't THAT bad. I can understand if it was a Browns QB.
Considering all three teams (DEN, HOU, IND) haven't won dick? Fine.
Question is out of all three, who gives him the best shot at finishing on top when you consider the roster, coaching staff, and GM/Executives?

Fuck the Raiders. Dirty MF'rs trying to injure people..

Looking at this gif just reminded me does anyone have any follow up on Bush's case against St Louis for his injury? I saw on CBSSN ticker he was planning to sue.
I mean wanting to stick it to his former team, just shooting a joke at Mech. Denver has been more successful than us overall since Peyton got there.
I don't think revenge was a huge incentive for him, might've been, idk. I actually don't like the fact that Irsay loves coming out and talking shit every time we play Peyton, just no respect for a guy who was the franchise for years. His failures are also your failures, I'm disappointed that we didn't win more, but I'm a fan; and I can't make front office decisions. Him and Polian gave us Jim Caldwell after Dungy left, downgrading from Dungy is quite a feat
Fitzmagic needs to learn to slide and Rapist Ben needs to learn how to take a sack.
Lets go to Knotts friend.
