Ryan Mallett Not at Practice: Personal Issue with Bill O'Brien

First of all, McNair should just tell BOB that Mallett must go. Make an example of Mallett. Can't make it to practice. Can't make it to the plane on time. We don't need you.

Secondly, we went out and picked up Keenum at the end of last year, and he did pretty well. I know he had been in our system and all that, but he was a third stringer and he did fine.

McNair and BOB shouldn't be worried about one or two more wins. This year is lost, it is over. Letting Mallett go and sending a message to the team is more important than giving a backup scrub QB a third chance to get his act together.

 

My fundamental issue with not releasing Mallett would be that there are reports that O'Brien has lost the team., and by all means, the play seems to validate that. If he's lost the team, make an example out of this idiot. Show them you mean business. Release the guy, and then show up at practice and tell them that you'll have a keen eye on everyone and no one is safe from potential changes.


That's one way to prove to your team you're not screwing around.

 

I'm sure Mallett would be fine with that, getting a head start with whatever his new team is going to be would be the best possible scenario for him.

Personally I think McNair should make an example of BOB, RAC, and Rick Smith by completely cleaning house. Fire them all and start over.

 

Keep on vouching and looking out for him. Even losers need company and support.

 

Don't be an idiot, that's not what I'm doing at all. I've never said that what he did was okay, it's not. Pointing out the obvious isn't "vouching" for someone or looking out for them.

 

You're pointing out what is "best" for him and what he should be "fine" with.

The guy deserves no such consideration... It would be feeding into his loser mentality.

 

Again, pointing out the obvious, not endorsing it.

The worst thing BOB could do to Mallett would be to make him stay on the team for the rest of the year. If he's cut then he can start looking for another team to take him on now rather than having to wait till the off-season which gives him a head start learning the play book.

 

How many times do you think he used the "Dog ate my homework" excuse during his childhood days?

 

How many teams do you think will be lining up to sign Mallett after he gets cut from a horrible Texans team? A guy that can't beat out Brian Hoyer. A guy who can't seem to make it to practice on time. A guy that can't make it to the team plane on time? Really?

 

Might as well gamble on RG3

 

Whatever. It's a waste of time to do even that regarding him.

The sooner you distance yourself from him, the better you will come out of this.

You have an easy out to erase all the idiotic takes you spent supporting him, and you still won't admit it.

 

I don't think I ever said that teams would be "lining up" to sign him, only that he will be signed by somebody. You'll see.

You sound very emotional about this whole thing which is weird. So far pretty much everything I've said about him has been the case. He is really dumb, he has accuracy problems, he has a cannon for an arm, he has a quick release.

I'm not sure what you want me to "admit" here.

 

Not emotional. Just saying its idiotic to keep defending him, pointing out how this situation could be good for him... Or even still entertain thoughts that he can be a starting QB in the NFL.

He was beyond awful here both on and off the field... And those who backed him incessantly deserve to get called out for it.

 

And if you weren't emotional about it, you wouldn't be thinking that I'm defending him. Also, when it comes to his play, I'd still take Mallett over Hoyer in a game where there is going to be pressure on the QB....and you should too. It doesn't mean that he's a good QB because he's not, it would just be you acknowledging what should be pretty clear. Hoyer is trash when he's pressured. Mallett has his problems as a QB and as a leader, he's immature, he's dumb as a bag of hammers, he can be inaccurate, his passes can be hard to handle....but I'd take that over Hoyer today.

In a perfect world you don't want either Hoyer or Mallett even on your team as a backup, but this is not a perfect world.

 

Yep. And in this world, those still defending him or even entertaining this discussion of "who should be the starter?" after his immature p***y-like actions are honesty dumber than a bag of hammers.

You had an out... And you managed to dig yourself in an even deeper hole.

 

LOL, yet another super emotional statement.....did the guy bang your girlfriend?

After Hoyer shows that he'll fail miserably any time a defense pressures him, why WOULDN'T you entertain a discussion of who should start? If we're playing a team that can't generate a pass rush at all and the O line is at full strength and playing well, obviously you'd want Hoyer, but in any other scenario Hoyer is one of if not the worst QB in the NFL.

 

We are talking about how inept Mallet is on and off the field... And you're still trying to save face by bringing up Hoyer (who despite everything you said is STILL better than Mallett).

You and Ryan have a lot of idiotic tendencies in common... Not the least of which is that neither of you will ever be a starting NFL QB (or even employed, come tomorrow).

 

LOL, again, you are really emotional about this whole thing. I'm not. I have no emotional attachment to either QB and I don't really care if someone missed a flight. Every QB on the roster needs to be gone before next year, I'd like BOB fired, RAC should be fired before tomorrow, I think it's time to get a real GM and cut Rick Smith loose.

I'm looking at this dispassionately. Sure BOB might cut Mallett tomorrow, and I wouldn't care if he did, but that doesn't mean that there isn't still a very valid case for Mallett being a better NFL QB than Hoyer in games where there is going to be some pressure on the QB.

Anyway, try to calm down and maybe you'll be thinking more clearly tomorrow.

 

No, it would pretty much invalidate all your "hard work" trying to convince everybody he was the better choice.

Its now abundantly clear he wasn't... and if you still don't think so, there's no saving you.

"But hey, try to calm down and tomorrow you'll have a new hot take..."

 

Heh, I'll give you a pass right now because it's clear you are emotionally compromised and probably a bit drunk. There's no such thing as worse than Hoyer was in the first half (the part where the other team was really trying) and I'm hoping when you settle down/sober up, you'll realize that. If not, well the Texans have games coming up against the Bengals and Jets, maybe you'll figure it out then.
