Quote:Would winning the rest of our division games be meaningless? Would winning 5 out of 6 in our division with all the wins coming in the second half of the season really mean that our prospects have gotten worse?

 

That would have tremendous meaning knowing that this young team early in it's rebuild has already swept two teams and beaten everyone in the division.That would be a huge step in the right direction regardless of the options for QB. Much more significant for our future prospects than just a couple of draft positions.

 

Even if I thought the number one pick was of utmost importance, I would still try to win every game possible, and then worry about trading up.

 

I don't get this.

 

Suppose we somehow do just this and get out of range for any viable QB.

 

Whatever benefit we get this year out of sweeping two division opponents would not outweigh the problems associated with lacking a franchise QB, nor would it outweigh the benefit to Houston if they got their franchise QB to add to their already talented roster.

 

I'm still waiting to hear of the benefit we derived from beating the Colts the last week of 2011.

 

I don't even remember much about the game, TBH.  I doubt the Colts fans or players remember.

 

I know it didn't "teach us how to win."  It didn't provide any momentum that carried over into 2012.

 

It certainly didn't put us into playoff contention.

 

What benefit did we get from it?
