    What happened to Remii? I almost miss hearing the trash coming out of his keyboard.

    The Sammy Watkins bandwagon isn't the same without him.

    I agree that it probably wasn't a bad tear and yes it could happen to anyone. With that being said, no matter how battle red one's glasses are, you have to be a little bit worried about it deep down somewhere.

    Weird that you'd complain about the discussion, since you're the one that first mentioned Bridgewater in this thread. For all your talk about not judging people early and the like, you make a lot of judgments about players you don't like. And you seem to obsess about them in every thread you can find.

    I know it's early but I heard someone did a redraft of this year's draft knowing what we know now. If I were the Texans, knowing what I know now, I think I would still pick Clowney. By the end of the season that might change but I'm not sold on the QBs. Maybe an OL or Kyle Fuller but I still think Clowney is going to be better than them when it's all said and done.

    And NRG miraculously moved to Colorado to cause his concussion.

    Problem is, Clowney was not NEVER injured before big bad NRG hated on him.

    Poster has disappeared ever since I asked his/her gender.

    Really? Is this the best you can do? Literally every player in the NFL has had a concussion before yet in your mind that means he's "injury prone". Pretty much what I'd expect from a Cowboys fan.

    Concussion makes you injury prone? Wut?

    I need to get off Clutchfans for a bit.

    Who are you... one of the Blind Mice? It's not just a concussion or the hating NRG grass. He was already injured twice in college. I'm not damning him as being "made of glass", but even biggest fan is concerned about his health. If you got his jockstrap out of your mouth, you'd be concerned too. Truth is, you really ARE concerned. You're just to high and mighty to admit it on these boards.

    I don't care about the damn Cowboys. I'm just don't feel the need to front while arguing to make my point sound better. You will though. (i.e. "Romo is marginally better than Fitz"). Denial isn't just a river.

    Yao Ming, Greg Oden, they are injury prone.

    No, silly rabbit. But...

    Concussion + out 4-6 weeks after playing 1 half in your first game + injured twice in college
    MIGHT

    You need to get off your high horse.

    At least Yao played 3 full seasons before his injuries piled.

    Hopefully Clowney isn't added to that list.

    Andre Johnson had two freak injuries that cost him PT without being hit by a player. Infact most injuries are non contact injuries. Ripping on Clowney for getting an actual diagnosed medical injury is idiotic...Fact is Clowney would instantly make our team better/DLine better, and Watt would be more devastating. Cant double both of them. Insert a big guy like Pickett in the middle who requires a double team, and the Texans are winning just based on personnel groupings and LB will start having free lanes to the QB.
    What everyone should be focused on is that we are playing below average football, but finding ways to win ballgames...Thats a sign of a good coaching staff; and if you can give them credit for this minimal turnaround, I am willing to let the draft picks from this year pan out before reserving judgement. As a diehard Texans fan, enjoy winning while it lasts...who knows when the next abysmal stretch is bound to come. Hoping this coaching staff can prevent such an outcome and change our franchises outlook.

    What you homers keep refusing to consider is time. Andre had already established he could stay healthy for full seasons. No smart person would complain if Clowney's injuries were spread out over 5 years. For your own sakes, hopefully you already knew that and simply feel like arguing.

    As far as Clowney and injuries go, I don't see any point in worrying about things that can't be controlled.

    He will come back and play when he is ready to play.

    Not worried about his rash of injuries. It'd be one thing if it was a recurring injury. It's just a bunch of unfortunate incidences, like Adrian Peterson in college.

    Not sure what there is to really argue about. Clowney IS injury prone.

    Over the last 2 years he has missed or played injuried in 40% of possible games.

    Just since joining the Texans he has had a string of injuries.

    He has already missed significant time as a rookie.

    There really is nothing to debate.

    Hopefully he isn't injury prone in the future..... but like a wise person once said "You have a history Virginia."

    No, he's had injuries, that doesn't mean he's "injury prone"...unless you mean he's capable of having injuries and that just means that he's mortal. I do agree though, there really is nothing to debate.
