Quote:So...you maintain that he is a "once in a generation" player worthy of paying a coach under the table in order to secure the first pick and draft him first overall.


...and for the record, I think most of us would have more respect for you if you just said something like, "Yeah guys, I may have got a little carried away. I think he's going to be good, but my original stance was probably a bit much."


As it stands, you are currently distancing yourself from your original stance through your posts, but you are too damn arrogant to admit it.


Just a reminder: you banged the drum and preached to us all, for weeks, that Teddy was a surefire franchise changing QB on the level of Manning and Elway. And you chastised and LOL'd at those of us who disagreed. You even created a deep reaching conspiracy worthy of an a Oliver Stone screenplay, in which Texans owner paid his lameduck head coach some fall money to purposely lose games in order to acquire said franchise changing "once in a generation" QB.


And by your stubborn defiance, we are all to assume you still believe all of that of which you were so adamantly convinced about?


When I suggesting 6 months ago that you Houston would not select Teddy 1st overall and you condescendingly LOL'd at me until you dribbled pee down the front of your sweatpants- Is it possible that me declaration wasn't nearly as hilarious as you originally had thought?


C'mon TMD, answer the questions. It's called humility. It won't kill ya.

 

I honestly still think he's going top 10 - and he's still number one on my QB wish list. I think he'll be a franchise QB as long as he can stay healthy. I honestly believe that had he had the physique's of the Mannings/ Luck's/ Aikmans/ that he would more universally be seen in similar light as them. But the slight frame is probably more important of a factor than I first considered. 

 

As for the Texans....I maintain that they did not enter the season wishing to tank - unlike Indy....but by the time their season withered away to about 2-6, at that point it was tank for that first pick. I thought Bridgewater would be the end game for them, but now it appears they will go elsewhere. But getting the 1st pick was what they wanted from about midseason onward. That became obvious when they had a chance to re-insert Schaub as starter after he played well vs the Jags in relief duty, but instead they went back to Keenum, IMO, because they knew he'd get their desired result at that point of the season, - an "L". 

 

But, yes, I probably did go a little bit overboard during the Nov-Jan posting about Bridge. Prisoner of the moment.
