    I didn't think anyone would trade for him either. I actually feel sorry for the Browns fans. First Manziel, and now Osweiler.

    It took Morey 5 years to get rid of Brewer. It took a couple of months to get rid of Brock. Texans doing it right

    I'm glad that the trolls of this board are so happy about me, along with the rest of everyone, not believing that anyone would trade for Osweiler.

    You think I am "virtually always" wrong, I accept that is your opinion but I'm not sure why you think that your opinion should hold ANY weight with anyone.....especially when the facts don't support that opinion.

    But anyway, I said I was going to stop paying as much attention to trolls such as yourself, so you'll understand if I stop responding even if you keep trying to derail the thread with your trolling. Have a good day kiddo.

    Exactly, no one thought it would happen which is why these trolls jerking it over me being in agreement with everyone else that it wouldn't happen is so weird.

    Yeah we basically sold second rounder for $16 million.

    That's not a good return.

    Only way it looks good is that we are trying to unscrew ourselves from prior stupid decisions

    The way Osweiler was playing last year I literally think Vince YOung or johnny Manziel would have performed better

    We really need to give credit to McNair...for realizing that he made a mistake. In my own opinion...McNair was the person who wanted Brock. After seeing such terrible play...He gave full control to BOB and Smith to make this trade...There really is no other way to spin this. McNair thought Brock was the answer..pushed hard to get him...saw his money go up in flames. Stepped back and let the hired help move him.

    The Browns have to draft well for that 2nd rounder to mean something. The Texans have now shown that they have drafted well in the draft...and are slowly reaping some rewards bc of it. Losing a 2018-2nd round stinks...but the loss of Bouye gives us a 2018 3rd rounder from the Jags plus an extra high 4th rounder from the destined to be bad next year Browns...

    Got rid of a mistake quickly but still a mistake. Next mistake Texans won't be so lucky to find a willing team to do them a favor, and so far Texans qb decisions are full of mistakes.

    Looking at this from afar, it's bad. Think you guys are talking yourself into thinking these moves were great. Literally, you just gave away two assets, the QB and the pick, for literally nothing. I mean that's the bottom line. It's not good. But what is going to be even worse is that your about to trade more assets for a broken player who you could have bought on discount. I don''t get all the happiness. Cleveland nailed this one even though they are getting crapped on in the media. They got a win-win. The Texans got a lose-lose.

    It would mean one less QB taken in the first, leaving us to select whomever we want in the first.

    Clearly, the Brock trade signifies to me that O'Brien was never on board with him. Because of that, I do give McNair props for allowing this to happen.

    How'd the Texans get a lose lose? They got more cap room, cut bait on their mistake, avoided distractions and got a fourth round pick for their sixth round pick.


    All it cost them was a second round pick. You can convince yourself it was stupid -it wasn't. What was stupid was the owner forcing a QB that the head coach had never met upon him.

    But you're cool with knowing a 2018 2nd round pick would of had us Jimmy G?

    Def shows another mistake the Texans have made. Kind of use to this by now.

    How does that signify that?

    To me O'Brien loves to trade picks. He realized his mistake and used a high pick to get rid of it.

    If you use the additional cap space to acquire better players then you essentially traded for those players

    It'll be probably two seconds and pick 12 for Jimmy, which is crazy. If they want that, let them. I'd have been pissed if the Texans traded that much for Jimmy.

    Crazy to think the Patriots may get that.

    It would be a very "Browns" thing of them to do.

    We gave up a second round pick, a very valuable asset, to partially undo a dumbass move from last year.

    I agree it doesn't look good.
