  1. Oh man are we in trouble.  We meaning the entire NFL.

     

    If local Houston radio is to be believed, their top 3 WR are combining for 4500 yards & their underrated TE group is gonna chip in another 1200 yards.

     

    Conservatively speaking, the remainder of their WR group after Hopkins/Fuller/Coutee will get about 500 yards, and their rb group will get about 1000 yards.

     

    So, Watson will throw for 7200 yards this year.  Case closed.  Why are we even playing the season?

    yeah they can't put an uninjured player on IR.  Even if it weren't against the rules, I cant see Cain ever agreeing to that. 

     

    Not to mention the stupidity behind putting a guy that likely makes your team better on IR for a half a fricken season.....in order to "try out" undrafted fringe roster players.

    I think you're down selling him.  Had he not have gotten the ACL tear in year 1 the Texans were well on their way to the playoffs at the very least.  We were even scared to play the Texans with Watson behind center that year. Just so happens he tears his ACL the same week we were set to play. Year 2 for Watson still led them to the playoffs and a division crown.  The years you're talking about with Luck the division itself wasn't anywhere near as good as it is now.  I don't want to down play what Luck did but there were zero teams in the division who were any good.  The Texans were bad, The Jags were bad, and the Titans were bad.  There wasn't any resistance from any of those teams.  Since Watson hit the league our division has been much better than that time. Watson is a pretty good quarterback. It's very early for him so of course there are kinks to work out. I don't think Luck ever got sacked and hit as much as Watson did last year.

     

    Hardly.....they were 3-4 when he went down.

    So i just finished watching the colts vs Kansas city playoff game for the 5th time and i still dont understand why we played so bad. I accept that we lost yes and i understand there were drops as well. But just seeing the way Kansas city's mediocre defense easily walking through our  oline wall keeps me rocking in a corner some nights. I know the colts practiced all that week prior to the game in snow condition's so why was the same team performance that beat Houston not there against the chiefs

     

    Really?  I never even thought about it again after reflecting maybe 30 minutes after the game.  Certainly never kept me up at nite at any point after.

    Great for Kenny but if Ballard plans on giving out max contracts

    then there will be salary cap problems in the future. This is 

    great for UDFA's watching and will get paid if they make the 

    team and perform.

     

    Yeah, i'm sure a schlep like Chris Ballard isn't even thinking about salary cap implications when he makes moves like this.  Such a shortsighted impulsive non detail oriented on, that man.

     

    And I didn't realize the NFL has max contracts now.  When did they become the NBA?

    Hmmmmmmm...... Could it be possible that Barry Werner of Touchdown Wire is actually Bjorne Werner??

     

    I’m going to conduct a full investigation into the matter.

     

    Final results, I’m 90% certain that it’s his brother.

     

    Barry Werner worked in Houston sports media for a long time.  No surprise at all that he's overrating one of his own.  

     

    If these schills down here voted on the league's top qb, Watson would win in a landslide.  They live in another world, with unicorns and leprechauns.

    I normally don’t get worked up on stories like these...   I just don’t.

     

    But..,   as everyone noticed....   DeShaun Watson?    I mean...   DeShaun Watson?!?   Exactly WHAT has he done to deserve ANY top-10 consideration?

     

    The profile on Watson is all about IF and COULD....    IF Watson does certain things then he COULD get to deserve the ranking.  

     

    Great...   potential gets him on to a top 10 list for what he might do.... someday...    :facepalm:

     

    I agree 100% and couldn't have said it better than myself.  Watson is a top 15 qb at this point based on what he's done on the field, and that's it.  Judging from his performance in the playoff game last year, he has alot of work to do to ever be considered a top qb.

     

    BTW, Barry Werner worked in Houston media for a very long time, but i'm sure that has nothing to do with him overhyping and overratting an unproven and unaccomplished DeShaun Watson.

    Is it that hard to comprehend that he is under contract? 

     

    He is currently at the Colts facility training (and making holes in walls).

     

    Multiple people are telling you what's correct, and you keep being stubborn. 

     

    Is it that hard to comprehend that I linked Spotrac, which clearly shows him being a FA.  Thus the confusion?

     

    Other people are providing documentation

    Finally...a move to win now. You don't give a 30 year-old Houston $24M if you don't plan on competing during the upcoming two-year window.

     

    Colts need DEs...and even at age 30...Houston probably still has better athleticism than anyone but Turay and can get after it.

     

    Wonder if this opens up a possibility for a Suh signing as well.

     

    He's 30, not 50.  Of course he still has his athleticism.

    12m is a bargain for what edge rushers go for these days tnh. I think this is probably right in line with his value if he can manage 8-12 sacks

     

    Whew.  Thank God.  I don't think I could handle it if they had signed him for 13m instead of 12.  That would change everything.
