Which is why they'd go with a vet who would be able to quickly brush up on the system and be ready to go rather than struggling with a rookie trying to pick it up while getting destroyed. With the right defense, and in the right system (read: the system he was in on the Pats), I think he could be serviceable enough to get the Texans back in the playoffs. QB was never our biggest problem in the first place. Lack of a run game, a weak O line, pretty much the worst red zone defense in the NFL, and the worst special teams in the NFL all contributed more to the Texans' awful season last year.
I ain't bullying! Just attacking the troll that everyone argues with. Your ideas are usually the outliers in discussion and when people call you out, you get butt hurt. You need to tone it down. Stop trolling.
I'm pretty sure his ideas are outliers by design. He seems to just be a contrarian, which is why I stopped responding to him entirely a while back. There's no way anyone seriously thinks that the Texans should take a 3rd WR with the first overall pick in the draft.
I think Bridgewater has the mindset to come in and pick up a system in good time. He would be a better option than someone else's trash(Cassell).
Bridgewater might be smart enough to pick it up over the course of a year, but there would be tons of growing pains because he'd be learning to be an NFL QB at the same time as trying to pick up a very complex system while trying not to have his tiny frame crushed by NFL defensive players. I personally think that would be disastrous.
I think Mack would be a good pick if you can get another first rounder out of that. Clowney is warming up to me. I like the idea of having Clowney and Watt on the same line for the next 10 years. Sounds like dominance. You just worry about how much money they will command in 5 years. It is a scary thought.
That might be the GOAT. That is a telling picture. The mental aspect outweighs the physical aspect 10 fold.
However, Tom Brady has a bigger frame than Teddy Bridgewater, and this isn't a good comparison because he was skinny and out of shape at the combine, Teddy B is in great shape already, he's just built smaller than most QB's. Also, on a related note to not being able to change your body frame, you can't add height either.

I really don't understand the Bottles hype. I feel like scouts are inferring that since B'OB recruited Christian Hackenburg that he automatically needs a big quarterback, while OB has said nothing to even suggest that. Plain and simple, Bortles doesn't have the talent to go first overall, and the only way it'll happen is if OB has some sort of undocumented infatuation with him.
Saw McShay on SportsCenter. Said if the Texans go QB they can choose between Bridgewater, who's the best and most ready now, or Bortles (didn't bring up Manziel), who "may" be better in 4-5 years. He had us picking Bortles but I just don't like that reasoning. Take the guy who isn't as good and isn't ready on the basis that he "may" end up better in 5 years (which also means he may not be). That's awfully risky. That was the same choice the Colts had to make choosing between Manning and Leaf. Manning was the better college player and the most NFL ready and Leaf was viewed as the guy with more upside who could be better down the road.
Bridgewater is the #1 QB on a lot of ppl boards yet he's not good enough to be a houston texan? I can't understand the logic.
