    Looks like it will be Johnny. Uncle Bob gets the last word I'm sure.

    If we were to assume this is true...

    Looks like it'll be Teddy or Clowney.

    Bob doesn't interfere and won't force a pick.

    I would believe it more if it was rotated to McNair - Clowney, Smith - Manziel, and BOB - TB.

    Didn't Smith help put together this team that was once, not long ago, slated to win the Superbowl??
    You want to fire him? Why?

    Even though quite a few skinny dummies have turned out to be outstanding QB's? We get it. You don't want Bridgewater in Houston. Okay?

    I said it because of McNair's public adulation of Clowney + the SC ties. But then I realized that somehow I was praising Bridgewater by having him as BOB's pick. So out come the hounds.

    Sometimes I wish bigtexxx would just stay in the D&D bragging about his net worth there instead of stalking the entire BBS looking for the next Bridgewater mention.

    Wait who am I kidding? Just like I don't watch Fox News, I don't have to see your posts either. Done. Now all I'll see after every single Bridgewater post will be thinly veiled racism emanating behind the thickly veiled veneer of a "BigTexxx is on your ignore list" post.

    And no I'm not calling everyone who doesn't want us to pick Bridgewater a racist. Remii and Bobbythegreat y'all are ok. I wonder if we all just ignore bigtexxx tho, whether or not he will just disappear like the professional troll he is.

    Texxx's "exploits" in the D&D have completely eroded any type of argument that he has here.

    Especially when he tries to fuse general IQ and football IQ together.

    Shows that he has an agenda.

    I really really don't like ignoring people, I like to have all sides of the debate. Thats why I like Remii and Bobby at times.

    Texxx is stepping over the boundaries though

    and here comes all the defensiveness and personal insults...

    face it gentlemen, "20 on the lic" isn't going to cut it for BO'B. Time to accept this and move on.

    and keep your insults and other crap in the D&D where it belongs.

    Rick Smith is lucky to have a job.

    He was the brains behind bringing Ed Reed to Houston...

    To be honest with you, "20 on the lic" means jack squat as long as your impressing BOB on the white board

    Cut the bs and go back to the D&D where YOU belong

    It has been vehemently mentioned on numerous counts that Bob McNair was the brains and the legs (pun intended) to the Ed Reed operation. Same guy that wants your boy Clowney.

    Too bad there's no brains to the bigtex operation.

    Even if he were the brains behind that(which he isn't)you can't discount everything else.

    IMO this has zero credibility because McNair would want Clowney, BOB would probably also want Clowney or maybe Bortles, and Rick Smith wouldn't want to lose his job.

    The quote is consistent with a shallow stereotyping of the players, the black GM wants the black quarterback, the money grubbing owner wants the pop-u-drama to sell jersey's and the no-nonsense head coach wants the consensus BPA.

    It could be true or false but anybody close enough to know, that leaked, should be fired. If I were a gifted shooper, I think I would make a GIF of Bob, Coach BOB and Rick in parachute pants dancing to 'It's Rumor-time'

    If Rick Smith wants Bridgewater then I don't. I would love for the team to take a chance on Manziel but Clowney seems like a safer choice. I still say I'd like to trade down and end up with Manziel and another pick or two if possible. Otherwise stick with Clowney. Hurry up draft day!

    Are you discounting the 2-14 season and the poor cap situation we are in?

    If there really is a three-way disagreement, you can automatically discount Rick Smith. The only opinions that matter are BOB and McNair.

    littletex, we already know you will blast anyone black every chance you get. No need to keeping proving it here. Your point is made and your plausible deniability remains unchanged.
