    He threw a ton of really clutch interceptions this year.

    Watkins is nothing like Dre... Watkins is a pure burner that can get the ball ANYWHERE on the field and is a threat to take it to the house. It's a passing league and that's why Sammy is the best potential offensive player in this draft. True #1 receivers are harder to find than QBs.

    And obviously you didn't watch McCown play. He has a big arm and he's mobile. Nothing like Schaub.

    Shyt like this is what I'm talking about... People like you think their opinions are ABOVE ALL and when someone says something you disagree with _ you go left.

    He was throwing to Tori Smith(a seam guy), and Jacoby Jones(hands the size of a newborn). No possession receiver like Boldin who could catch everything in plain site. The Texans have two guys that could make Flacco look pretty stinkin good.

    Thats a definite now. Teddy and Johnny both have stronger arms than McCown's

    I will agree on Schaubs though

    The arm has been a knock on McCown his entire career

    We would have been a playoff team with Flacco

    LOL, that's just hilarious. Your takes are always good for a laugh.

    You have the worst reading comprehension of all time. Why has McCown floated around the league? Because he is mediocre. Not a game changer, etc. The Texans aren't getting any better with him McCown at QB.

    You obviously didn't watch Andre in his earlier days. He was a burner. Absolute burner.

    Flacco just won a superbowl. Beat Brady and Manning where he outplayed both. As well as Colin Kap who was on fire in the playoffs. It isn't hilarious at all. Flacco is a good player.

    He's not elite, he's not great, but he's very good.

    We would've definitely had a really good shot at the playoffs if we had Flacco.

    He's like a more mobile schaub with a better arm. He's a significant improvement.

    I watched 90% of McCown's snaps this year and his arm was strong in good and bad weather... Against NFL competition at that.

    I would be just as happy if they draft Sammy Watkins with the #1 pick. Dre becomes the #2 threat in the receiving core and they could carry McCown to the playoffs. Especially if Foster is healthy and they bring in a veteran right tackle. A great receiving core and a great QB coach like McCown had in Chicago, that can make a good armed game managing QB look great. And McCown looked great when he was on that field with those weapons.

    You can pay attention to the quarterback and I don't knock you for that but I pay more attention to the weapons around the quarterback. It's easier to find the great weapons than it is the great quarterbacks and Sammy is potentially a great weapon. TY Hilton looks slow compared to him.

    No, he didn't. The Ravens did that and he happened to be on that team. QB's don't "win" teams do. If the best you can come up with to defend an individual player is team accomplishment, you might as well not bother.

    Actually he's pretty close to exactly average and he's coming off of a season where he put up worse numbers than the Schaub/Keenum tandem did last year.

    Its sprinkled in and around.

    basically the majority question whether Clowney has the heart to be a great player.

    I wouldn't say the majority think that, but it certainly is a popular trope among those who haven't watched enough tape to know otherwise.

    Again. You continue to want to have a discussion with me but you continue to litter your post with insults.

    And again. You assume people don't watch because they don't have the same views as you and or different opinions. And then you use the word "WAS" when you talk about Dre. You talking past tense.

    LOL, Schaub had a good defense last year and couldn't get it done.

    Yates, an average quarterback had the best in the league and didn't get it done.

    Sorry, but your QB has to be better than average unless you are the 2000 ravens or the 85 Bears. Guess what. That is 2 of about 1000 different teams. The percentage that you find a good quarterback is better than .2%.

    Annoyance at it's finest.
