Is It Just Me, or Does Hard Knocks REALLY Suck This Year?

The Texans are just so bland and uninteresting.  It doesn't seem like they really have any players that you want to really pull for or are interested in seeing their ultimate outcome.  Either the production is just really weak and uninspired, or the all of their players are just that vanilla.  Either way, it's just not very interesting  to me this season.

Well put...  Maybe it is just me, but I think that is why I don't find this season, and specifically the players, to be endearing.  Idk why, Watt is fun to watch on the field, as he is an incredible athlete, but he just seems like a douche to me.  Same with Cushing...  When I see them, I just see roided up meatheads who try to disguise themselves from being the milk money shakedown artists they are.  

But, I do think the production value this year is well below precious years...  Seems lazy...  I don't recall any other year I've watched where they dedicated entire segments of non-dialogue, just showing a single player running sprints for longer than 2 minutes lol.  They've shown Watt running sprints for that long, they've shown him on the jugs machine alone for that long, and they've shown him practicing his pass rush moves on tackling dummies, again, by himself, for that long.  It just seems like they don't have a lot of material to work with and it's because this is a boring team...  Or maybe I just hate them lol.

I have liked this season....and that's coming from someone who has seen every season except the first. Cushing does seem like a douche, but O'Brien is interesting. One of the reasons it may seem 'dull' is because the NFL decided they didn't want alot of cuts being shown. so far we have only had one and it wasn't shocking at all. 

Just my 2 cents

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      Would Morgan or Beason have been HOFers' if injuries hadn't derailed their careers?  I was not a close watcher of the game when Morgan was in his prime but I thought Beason had a few seasons at close to Lukes' level of play.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Franchise QBs feast when things are rolling and the tide that raises boats when things are going sideways.  Bryce isn't that. He's a complimentary player, that's it.  When the defense and STs are on point, he plays loose and it shows.  When we are in a dog fight and things haven't gone our way, he struggles.  It's that simple. He's not a horrible QB, but he's not top tier either.  So the question begs, is this worthy of a second contract?  The answer should be no.  It definitely is my answer. Bryce will never be a QB that can produce wins largely on his arm.  That's a FRANCHISE QB, any other QB is simply a placeholder at the starter's position until that guy can be found.   At some point the excuses of lack of weapons will be a straw man.  Heck, it's nearly there now.  I mean if he doesn't look even better than last year will we blame it on the TE position?  'Well if Bryce only had a player like Kelce, Kittle or Gronk on this team...'  Are we really going to do that?

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By MHS831 · Posted

      When I arrived at college, I was 18, not too much younger than some of these draft picks.  It was not a huge school, but there were guys on the team who were 21, 22, 23....playing ahead of me.  I was seventh on the depth chart.  Those guys have been through a few seasons, were stronger, more knowledgeable.  I was a better raw player than some of them, but those other factors matter.  As I grew stronger, more familiar with the playbook, and learned what it was like to play in college, I gradually improved and with that, I rose up the depth chart.  It took most of my freshman year for the light to come on.  Had the coach thrown me into the starting lineup day 1, I would have probably failed.    And that was college.  So I agree with you based on my experience on a much lower level.  Frankly, I think that is why so many kids drafted to fill huge gaps bust.  The teams are desperate.  Anyone who looks to fill vacancies in the starting lineup through the draft is desperate.  You draft depth to develop.  For this reason, I say, "Let Walker start for a while."  Maybe Brazzell can be our WR 4.  Throw Hunter into a rotation and ask him to do one or two things.  Freeling needs some strength and he needs to work on run blocking.
