    This is a make or break year for him with this team I believe. He played the premier spot last year in Wade's D and underwelmed. I do agree that he has potential. I forgot if it was for the NBA or NFL, but i remember some coach or GM stating that you pretty much know what you have after year 3 of a player in their league. There are exceptions of course. I am by no means using some obscure reference in which I can't even remember who said it to back up my argument. Its just that the flashes he has showed were few and far between.

    Biggest Houston icon standing next to the future biggest Houston icon!

    Why isn't everyone as awesome as JJ Watt...off the field?

    Love this man.

    I seriously think it's time to consider changing Watt's number to 34. That is a hallowed number here in Houston, but I think Watt is already worthy.

    He'd have to switch to DB or RB. I'm okay with this.

    Normally, yes. But I think we can make an exception here (even though he would probably excel at either position....).

    Maybe Im not aware, but I dont think it's a team decision...it would have to be approved by the NFL, which I highly doubt they'd approve. Otherwise, you'd get players like Jay Cutler wanting 23 to be like Jordan.

    Yeah, I was really just kidding. Just delving into a little hyperbole with my man-love for JJ Watt.

    Today marks the midway point for the Texans offseason. It's been 18 weeks since they last played a game and we're 18 weeks away from the regular season opener.
