I personally think that J.J. Watt is the best individual player in the league, but there's no way I'd trade Cam for him.  No way.  It's a QB driven league.  You either have a QB that allows you to compete or you don't.  As much as the Texans love Watt, I bet they'd trade him straight up for Cam Newton if the opportunity presented itself.

Silly just plain silly.

How many times have the Texans won their division with Watt?

Who is the Texans QB?

Watt plays a 3-4 DE which would more than likely put him in KK's spot. 

I dont know about yaw but I'll take Cam and KK over just Watt and possibly DA as our franchise QB.

I'd take Andy Dalton over JJ Watt if I was the GM of a QB needy team and I'm not even remotely kidding. QB is so much more important than any other position in the NFL and it's not even close.

 

The top 3 picks would be Cam to the Panthers then Dalton to the Broncos who did not have Manning at this point then Kaepernick to the Bills who haven't had a QB since Jim Kelly then Watt would go 4th.

Hypothetically taking Watt we would have used him as our DT, meaning either McClain or Fua doesn't get picked, which can only be an upgrade.. however it means going into 2011 Jimmy as QB.. 6-10 probably becomes 4-12 (I Assume rookie Cam was a 2 win upgrade over Clausen) and we pick 4 or 5 in 2012, still don't get Luck or RGIII and probably pick Tannehill.. so question is, who would you have: Watt at DT + Tannehill or Cam & Luke.. I'll take the 2nd option please, even if Fua or McClain is replaced with someone else (best case scenario Justin Houston, realistic scenario Chris Culliver)

I have little doubt there are plenty of GMs who would take Watt over Newton.

Watt is seen as an elite player.  Newton is still seen by most as more potential than production.

If you take Newton first, it's because you believe the quarterback position is more important, and a lot of GMs (including our own) do indeed hold that philosophy.

And for the record, Marty Hurney has stated plainly that if they'd have had the number one pick in 2002, the Panthers would have taken David Carr over Julius Peppers.

Knowing that, it's not hard to theorize that Hurney also would have taken Newton over J J Watt, even if it were known what J J was to become.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
