jadeveon clowney is a bust lol


Recommended Posts

Honestly feel bad for the guy.  Microfracture surgery is no joke, it's ruined a lot of athletes... and this dude had some amazing potential.

Even if you do recover from it, there's a very big chance you're not going to be the same as you were before you had it.  Clowney might've had his career basically ruined because he tried to force himself to play while injured last year to shut people up calling him a bust.  Texans should've just sat him.

I don't understand the "next JP". Anyone who says that has rose colored glasses. JP was great his rookie year. Has performed well through out his career. Had issues with consistency at times but hell he is still in the league.

Because he was as good a defensive prospect as Peppers was, maybe even better... and Peppers was basically a sure thing.

Clowney didn't even have a rookie season... even those 4 games he played, he shouldn't have.  He was dealing with a legitimate injury, and due to the hype he had the media was hounding him and people were making fun of him, so he played through it and it got a thousand time worse, resulting in needing microfracture surgery.

In case you aren't familiar with microfracture surgery, it's very serious.  It ruined Greg Oden, among many others, and it's the same surgery Beason had before he came back and looked like absolute crap.  We'll probably never even see the real Clowney even if he does come back... probably just be an average player dealing with severe pain his whole career.

    • WR: Nico, Woods, Tank (R) TE: Schultz OL: Tunsil/Howard/Deiter/Mason/Fant vs. WR: Chark, Thielen, Mingo (R) TE: Hurst OL: Icky/Zavala (R)/Bozeman/Jensen (R)/Moton   Panthers' had the better OL before losing BC week 1 and AC week 4 which is kind of ironic considering how in the following year DB went down in W1 and Shaq in W4 resulting in the defense going all to Hell. CJ has done amazing in Houston, but he also wasn't asked to carry Zavala, Jensen, Mingo, Hurst, and Chark as a rookie.
    • Past 5 seasons, IMO CJ Stroud and Joe Burrow are the 2 best young QBs that have emerged in the league in that window.  They also didn’t need vets to be their primary pass catchers.  They helped fellow youngsters be great at WR.   almost all the other young QBs have been paired up with vets in their top options….and haven’t been as promising.  so it isn’t Madden.  But the league hasn’t played out as you suggest it does.   Good QBs make others around them better.   
    • In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.
