    We can trade back to the 32nd pick, we aren't getting Manziel lol

    Haven't people figured that out yet?

    There is no "probably" better

    Winston is much better as a qb prospect NOW than Manziel is

    Its like questioning whether the Earth is round

    Nevermind, this won't matter till next year anyways.

    Did not mean to derail Clowney conversation.

    Results speak for themselves, he had a better season than AJ McCarron running the same type of pro style offense

    Translation: Clowney is a lazy butt, but I can't really say that.

    LOL, I'm sure some will take it that way.....in a futile effort to further a losing narrative.

    Yeah, that is not really a positive endorsement, more of it will hurt recruiting to say anything else.

    He's a jock and he's excellent at what he does on the field... It's not like I want him to build a science project. But obviously being smart does not matter because we now have a Harvard grad in Fitzpatrick and you can hear allllll of the excitement... Crickets...!!!

    But judging people's intelligence because they're not great at public speaking (after an intense game) isn't smart at all... FYI.

    But O'Brien would be a genius if he drafts Clowney because if the Texans don't have a great year next year _ everyone will blame Romeo. Just like when Kubiak drafted Mario and went and traded for a mediocre quarterback. Deja Vu....????

    Winston's intelligence shouldn't be up for debate... I'm questioning the intelligence of Bob McNair and all of the Texans fans who are begging for Clowney because we've seen this movie before and people want to watch it again.

    I don't care if he is smart, that is what people say BOB want's in a QB.

    My cousin had a full ride at Stanford...but it had nothing to do with intelligence, he just knew how to hit a tennis ball really well.

    If I was a stud athlete, I definitely would have.

    But anyways, that does say something about him. I appreciate an actual inteligent response.

    Can't draft Winston. He won the Heisman and <strike>we</strike> don't draft Heisman winners around these parts.

    And who knows, maybe the year after next after next QB class will be better. Next year's QB class is always better!
