Eh, we didn't need a QB with a girl's name anyhow...

40th anniversary

Noticed a trend that I don’t recall ever seeing. Stroud and the Texans are respected at a level I have never seen for such a young team. It seemed to me more FA‘s at least checked them out than I heard checking out the big names like the Chiefs. I’m sure cap space might have been a factor but they won some nice additions.

They reported today that Barclay also gave them serious consideration.

As we head to the draft will conventional wisdom prevail? Williams to da Bears? Harrison first receiver?

“The Texans are near the top of the NFL in available cap space and have plenty of room to make additional moves this offseason.”

Yes and yes.

Yes and yes.

Williams will be a bust.

Williams will be a bust.

Statistically, 1st round qb’s are like 50/50 on whether they make it as a starter. So yeah maybe. Hard to say. What makes you so sure? Is it the pink nails?

Interesting note on the Sneed trade. Wonder if the Colts were the other team.

Entitled, crying on momma’s shoulder after a loss, overbearing father. Wouldn’t want that in my organization. Kinda the opposite of AR and his down to earth attitude.

My co-host seems to think it was the Vikings?

Exactly. It's less about the pink fingernails (you do you, boo!) and more about such things appearing to be more a matter of virtue signaling. Being yourself? Great; do that. Doing things to show everyone how woke (or edgy, or [insert anything here]) you are implies expending energy much better expended on the field, in the film room, or in the playbook.

Look at Edgerrin James: he was absolutely his own character. But it was just who he was, take it or leave it. He was all business on the field (and off).

Yeah I also saw that somewhere. Oh well.
