    Why? Of the bunch, he's got the best arm IMO. When I was a fan of his in college, it was because of what he did passing the ball and the fact that despite his running ability, he was smart enough to NOT run unless he had no other option. I think his demise as a QB had to do with a combination of playing for terrible teams and being misused. Give him a good coach that will play to his strengths and I think he could be redeemed as a QB if he isn't already ruined.

    Bradford and Fitz are older than I'd like a reclamation project to be and Kap is just a RB pretending to be a QB.

    Other than Fitz, I think RG3 is the most intelligent of the bunch as well, if any of them can be reformed, it's him.

    Now that said, it is very possible that RG3's body simply can't take the punishment of the NFL, so obviously there is some risk with him, but IMO he's the least risky of the group.

    Agree with everything you said. The thing with RG3 is he hasn't been used much at all in the past couple seasons. His body has had time to recover. Hopefully he can recapture a little bit of what he had in his first season.

    Wonderlic test is the most useless ignorant tesr ever administered and youre a bigger idiot for using it in any riduculous case youre trting to make.

    That remedial test is to try to justify the caucasian QB being the superior plater. Cam is showing the best of both worlds of a QB that actually is given a proper unbiased chance like all the other one dimensional slow footed white qb's to ever play in the league.

    If the best players were afforded the same unbiased treatment across the board, then all the players woild be 99% Moorish American. Thats why all these moronic tests and resistance and unjust scrutiny is put on Moorish Americans, its insecurity.

    Thats why theres always dumb coaches wanting to beef with a drafted Moorish QB i.e. Vince Young and Fisher and RG3 and Shanahan/gruden and the way he publically and venomously rip RG apart. Simple minded staff and upper level management.

    I'd love to watch Wentz, but I won't get a chance to.

    Eh. After his rookie season he has 20 TDs and 18 INTs. Pretty good YPA but still makes poor reads.

    My first time seeing Wentz, he is looking sharp( I can see why people are high on him), my only big question with him is competition. Which has him 4th in my Texans QB pick happiness rankings.

    Good news about this game is that we know the Texans are absolutely getting a new QB this off-season.

    Bad news is getting to the playoffs, which I will never complain about, will likely cost the Texans a chance at the top QB's available in the draft

    Not really. They were not going to be bad enough to get Goff or Lynch. So, It's between Cook, Wentz, and Hackenberg anyway. Making the playoffs doesn't change that much.
