Geez. Just give me a little something to be optimistic about...things just keep getting weirder and worse.

For those so keen on the Texans trading down in last draft, let's face it, I don't think many teams were willing to give fair value for the #1 spot. Most teams were more than likely content with what fell to them. It was a "bad" year to have #1 pick and the Texans hand was more or less forced in taking Clowney because of his physical talent and potential....but drafting on potential is always a scary and risky thing.

 

He got a new endorsement deal.

Lmao!! Kudos my friend :grin:

 

I'm over Clowney for this season. Pretty much expecting to do nothing.

What a disappointment for the number 1 overall pick. He's only played consecutive games once and the games he has played in he's done squat.

 

But that's impossible, he was medically cleared, how could he be having complications?

 

Disappointing. He's the guy I wanted the texans to draft. Shut him down for the yr and get the knee to 100%.

If none of these draft picks pan out and the qb situation is still uncertain the texans may actually be worse next year.

 

Is that the narrative you're going with?

 

It is. He had an injury that's known to have complications, and he's having complications with it. It's pretty straightforward but I can see how it would be over some people's heads.

 

So if Clowney has the same production in 2015 will you admit he's a bust?

 

Sounds about right. At this point the Texans draft rankings for this year go Blue, Hal, Prosch, CJ, then the first three duds. Suafilo at least doesnt get it. JaDivaOn and Nix seem like a couple of lazy bums. Crazy we could've traded our pick to Buffalo and picked up Barr, Shazier or Mosely. Or just taken Mack straight up.

Texans. Smh.

 

Depends on the circumstances, but probably. Next year will be big for him, he'll have to stay healthy and put up numbers to avoid the bust label. If he doesn't show something by this time next year, starting to throw out the bust label would be appropriate.

 

So if he gets injured next year he's a bust?

Seems harsh.

 

Well if he gets injured significantly next year, the "injury prone" comments will have a bit more weight and I'm not going to argue with the bust comments if that happens.

As to this season, it's premature, he had an injury that's known to be problematic

Hopefully it won't end up like D Rose.

 

The Texans medical staff doesn't seem to be the best.

FO gives extension to Schaub and Cushing assuming they would return to full health.

 

EDIT: Forget it. I'm not having the same tired conversation with the poster who has the biggest god complex on the board. The entire Texans fan base is the dumbest fan base in the NFL, right?

I'm still waiting on your ranking from most to least intelligent fantasies. Where do the jags stack up?

 

Did you have the same exact injury? If so, how do you know? Not every meniscus injury is the same....you do know that right?

 

Oh no what a vag for not pushing through a fairly major knee injury.

 

This. What are they waiting for? Put him on IR, mark it down as a lost season, come back next year.

"I'm the best I'm going to be this season. There's a little discomfort. It's going to be there until I get a long break to rest my knee. It's just something that you have to push through. - Clowney, October 23^rd, 2014
