Quote:So a team coming in to this year considered by many to be a championship contender decided, " I know we have a chance at a title this year, but if we lose a bunch of games we have a chance at Teddy Bridgewater"? You really are on a planet all by yourself.

 

No, chucklehead, they came into the season trying to win it all.....but once things degenerated to the point where by mid-season the Texans were 2-6 and those hopes were pretty much toast, then at that point the objective was re-assessed. Hence tanking for the QB that has become glaringly obvious that they need. Unlike the Jags, you won't see the Texans win any meaningless games down the stretch to mess this up for them (unless some distance builds up between them and the next team - see Colts in week 15-16 in 2011). Then, next year, with Bridgewater, they'll bounce right back up, just like the Colts did with Luck, and we'll be sitting here in the same place with a similar record, still waiting for our franchise QB, and now will have 2 teams in the division that will be set with theirs. But thats okay.....you know why?....because we won that game vs the Texans in 2013 13-6 when they were 2-8! That'll mean a whole lot at that point......not. No team leaves that QB in as bad as Keenum was playing vs the Jags unless they simply have no intention of getting a W that day. Keenum wasn't a high draft pick, so they have zero invested in him, (before you try that excuse)
