It must be nice to get paid 72 million for an internship on how to become an NFL quarterback.

XSF was a big part of that closing push. He has some run blocking skills.

He is still abysmal in the pass protection. And I agree that a good o line does wonders for a WB. Especially young QB's. Carr and Prescott getting drafted to teams with solid o lines cannot be ignored.

 

J.J. Watt anyone? What's your point?

They paid the going rate to obtain a highly-regarded 25-year old QB. It was, given their circumstances, a defensible decision that is not, thus far, looking good. But that doesn't invalidate the thought behind it.

 

When I say that, I'm not assuming he's gone.

I was thinking that the contract had a bunch of incentives built in to get him to that number, but I think I'm wrong after further research.

Anyhow, I HOPE he makes it all four years and forces the front office to pay him. Thatd only mean good things for the franchise.

If he doesn't though, he can be cut, only costing us, I believe, $9 million over two years. Not bad at all.

The contract itself is not bad.

 

lol at texans 'fans' bringing up the cowboys, might want to win your first playoff game in what 10 years? not five, not four, not three, not two, how about just one. =)

I'm happy for every win. Do I think they're contenders, not even close but they're playing .600 and taking their bumps. Not going to feel sorry for the steelers who play in a division with the sucky ravens and cincy. Only the West can stick their chest out in the afc and say they have a tough division, which we're 1-1 against.


ohh yeah the cowboys did win that game on that bogus call against the lions. that's how memorable that was. =/

 

Sorry Deb but I got to call you out on this one. You are the definition of a hater even if you won't admit it. You alone have made several anti-Brock and pro-Carr threads. Can you at least admit you don't support Brock?

 

THIS^ No one seems to see that this is Carr's second full year starting, and that he started off horribly. But whatever.

 

Brock's play improved to below-average last Sunday. Let's see if he continues improvement.

 

I mean he's not THAT bad. let's give him some time.

 

If they like him enough to let him stick around for 2 more years, that means we should ALL like him. Nobody is paying him an additional $35 million if he continues to suck. Stop with this idiotic nonsense.

 

Rick is that you? I would call him a quarterback that had experience in regular season games. The Texans did with Brock what they do with anyone....get into a bidding war with ghosts.

Everyone outside of homers questioned it THEN. They are just outright laughing at it now. The owner came out an called him "essentially a rookie". How do you pay that much money to "essentially a rookie"? This front office is comical. Then again, if you judge them by their ability to stiff the county, taxpayers and fans while keeping their books looking good, they're probably top 5 in the league and have been for a while.

 

No, what that's saying is that everybody knew those were stopgaps that had NO chance at signing long-term deals here. Not a single one of them was ever going to be given the same kind of leash as Osweiler. Even then, if Osweiler continues to play like this, there is absolutely ZERO chance the Texans pick up his option for the final two years.
