Texans trade Jadeveon Clowney to Seattle

Real recognize real.

 

Clowney is not worth the money, period.

 

You mean the additional $8M we would’ve paid him this season? Sure he is.

 

I think one more season would have been good but hey... he's gone and trades BOB have made ended up being good. Drafting Titus and Max... good picks. I'm not going to clown BOB for not wanting Clowney. BOB made his decision it is what it is.

 

He's worth the $7 million the Texans are paying him at least

 

Seattle doesn’t win that game without Clowney. He took over that game.

 

Oh, look who decided to show up after all those bad takes he posted about the Texans look like crap.
Still think Conley was a bad trade? Tunsil? Duke? Hyde?

As for Clowney, Gareon Conley and Jacob Martin are basically what you got for him. I can live with that...since the Texans were not going to pay hm.

 

Howard a bad pick too?

 

1 game in 10 sounds about right for Clowney.

 

It was a bad, petty trade.

 

LOL

 

Clowney is an underachiever but Texans still botched the trade when they allowed their intentions to be known. The biggest negative though is the future years of reduced picks. Maybe we hit some homers with those late rounders. Maybe win a SB first so it matters less.

 

Damn nah I’d actually give him 2 lol

 

To date Clowney stats: 16 tackles, 3 sacks, 3 FF, 1 INT
To date Merciless stats: 22 tackles, 5.5 sacks, 4 FF, 1 INT

I don't argue that it feels like the Texans should have been able to get more in trade for Clowney, but let's not let one nationally televised game cloud our judgement about what Clowney has done this season. He absolutely wouldn't have been worth the money we would have paid him if we extended him.

 

Now imagine how good Mercilus would be doing if he was across from the most double-teamed defender in the league.

I'm with you that we need to move on. They botched the trade; it is what it is. We shouldn't have this thread brought up every time Clowney has a "good" game or a "bad" game. No matter how bad he is, this defense would be better, not worse with him. No matter how good he is, he's not here.

 

Nobody, including myself, is arguing that it was good we got rid of Clowney because it freed up Mercilus. I posted the stats to show that Clowney, despite his game last night that everyone was going ga-ga over, has not been all that great this season. In fact, hasn't even been as good as Mercilus. I don't regret the Texans getting rid of Clowney. I do regret they couldn't get more for him but honestly none of us will ever know for sure what is the max return they really could have pulled in.

 

The reaction in Seattle so far has been very positive to Clowney.

 

And we they let him walk because they don't think he is worth the money...the reaction: "atleast we go a 3rd round pick coming next draft".
