Sure, he's no longer what he once was but he'll still be a very effective player for someone. We all know something about Houston too. They're currently the biggest dumpster fire in the NFL and possibly all of professional sports.

True--if this were not Houston, I would be saying, "He must be done."  But since it is Houston, you really do not know.  I am so happy I am not a Texan fan.

He is still young, so that could mean he sees the upside here.  I would want to be part of the growth, not some team that brings in ex-Patriots to win rings.

He's only 31, but man he has a ton of wear and tear on him. The way he plays takes a toll on the body. I think he'sdone as an elite DL but he'll still be a good player for someone.

they traded for jared allen

6th rounder to the Bears for Watts and they kept most of his contract--and we only paid about $900K of his salary, while the Bears took on the rest, but his salary was about $12m back then and he was a one-dimensional, situational pass rusher.  It was a great deal for us.  We could take Watt on a deal like that, but it ain't happening.  My point was the amount of $$$ pass rushers past their primes make--we can't afford to get into that kind of a bidding war.  We need to develop Burns and Gross-Matos and the other young ones--they are entering their primes, in my opinion.

      Gotta wonder if Smitty's brain has turned to mush with how hard he played in the NFL

      Forget trying to draft a QB in the early first round--it's stupid

      By MHS831 · Posted

      OK, fair enough--however, since my point was that drafting a QB in the top 10 is stupid, if you consider the players who were not drafted in the top 10 or those who WERE drafted in the top 10 and did not secure starting positions with the team that drafted them, you should see the point.  Is it smart to draft a QB in the top 10 when only 4 are still starting for the team that drafted them.  Next, consider that half of that number, 2, were drafted outside the first round.  Next, there are 4 (Goff, Mayfield, Jones, and Darnold) who are starting on other teams after busting.   That number could increase as Arizona seems ready to move on from Murray, Miami is not sold on Tua, and jacksonville is still waiting for Trevor to start looking elite.  Bryce?   So to answer your question, there are MANY more QBs in the NFL who have busted and become starters on other rosters, were drafted after day 1, or are still on the cusp than the four who have become elite.  I thought that point was made.
