Tought y'all would go for Romo.

He decided to retire, and I'm sure the incompetent Rick Smith has no plan B.  He should've been looking at Romo retiring a real possibility.  As fragile as Romo was, he had no business playing again anyhow.  He did the smartest thing he could do, quit while he could still walk.

I've seen players drawn out of retirement when offered to play on a contender or with the right amount of moolah. Marshawn Lynch comes to mind. Romo would be paid "X" number of dollars, but since he was let go, Dallas doesn't get compensation. I thought somebody would take a chance. It's always "Win Now". With your top ranked defense, Romo would fit nicely.

I agree that Romo fits nicely.  But, I guess he decided to retire instead of play.  His decision, not the Texans.  As for Lynch, I don't think he has had as many major injuries as Romo has endured.  That makes his decision to  play again a little easier.  I'm sure the Texans offered Romo a substantial sum of money to play.

Defense will be be great. WE NEed to either grab trubisky or mahomes in the first or second (only pass if cam Robinson is available in first) or Watson/kizer second or third. We absolutely have to get one of those 4 at qb.

1. Qb

2. S

3. MLB 

4. OL

5.OL

6 (brock deal)

7. DB

Do you have a shot at DeShaun Watson? What an athletic QB with an ARM!

Hope Rick Smith has a plan. Missing out on a Super Bowl with this much talent on the roster is getting old to the fanbase and i would hope players also. 

Really don't think Smith has a clue. He has to have something on McNair to have stuck around around this long.  The Osweiler fiasco should have been enough for McNair to can him.

I agree. I will admit he has hit on his 1st round picks and found a few UFA gems but to have hardly any success from rounds 2-5 which I consider money rounds in building a championship franchise, and striking out on a huge deal that made the organization look absolutely stupid is crazy to me. I have been hoping he would get fired for some time now but he keeps getting extensions. I think you hit the nail on the head with him having something on McNair lol

I'm a Cowboys fan and I know Texans fans are supposed to hate me, but I think the Texans are going to be scary good this year. You don't need a Romo or a Manning. You need a QB who can move the chains and not beat himself...A la Trent Filter, who I think is the worst QB to win a SB, but he won with a top ranked defense.

Lol they won't do crap with Savage.

 

I bet they draft Deshaun Watson first round

Thanks to good old draft experts like mcshay and co. Watson is now the 3rd ranked Qb. Behind Trubisky and Mahommes. Watson could be a realist grab. Sadly it will still mean savage will start this year. A rookie Qb from college spread offense. Will be far behind learning the playbook and getting adjusted to the NFL.(Are at least the BS we'll hear from Bill)

This team can win 11/12 

games with good Qb play but we'll likely have mediocre to bad Qb  play struggling to get 9 wins and help to get into playoffs.

Tom Savage has been named the starter for preseason game one. The fan base, by all indications, have already deemed Savage a colossal failure, before even throwing a single pass and DeShaun Watson must start. Unless Savage somehow goes 25 for 25, with 500+ yards and 5 td's, he will get the hook.  .

A few thoughts from the first preseason game. 
1) Watson is the guy. From pre-snap reads to audibles to how he carries himself, his "it" factor is off the charts IMO
2) Foreman may be the best rb on the roster. The dude is a workhorse. 
3) Davenport impressed me at tackle. I think if he continues to improve, he can be Derek Newton's or Duane Brown's replacement down the road. 
4) Defensively, blown tackles and not being in the right spot based on individual assignments stood out to me as well as needing to find depth in the secondary. 
5) Weak link on the entire team is offensive line IMO, but I think they will be better than last year up front mostly due to Nick Martin being healthy, he is a stud.

Fer sure.

Savage, meanwhile, was absolutely PATHETIC. Savage played a quarter. Went 9 of 11, for 82% completion ratio. (Watson was 15 for 25, for 60%).

Savage needs to be burned in effigy outside NRG Stadium, unless the fan base can abduct him and burn him to death in person. Time to rid ourselves once and for all of the pathetic no good bum Tom Savage.

    • The Bible prophesied the destruction and restoration of Israel and the gathering back of God’s people. I don’t know about the purity of the twelve tribes, but God’s word is true regardless of how man interprets it. God says he will bless those the support Israel. Many consider Israel bullies because they don’t agree with the magnitude of their defense towards their attackers. The Old Testament is full of God’s support of the annihilation of their enemies.  
    • Here is the facebook post for y'all   I’m not going to put names or schools on this, but feel free to screen shot it to whoever you like. Yes yes, I’m a baseball guy. But I love football more than baseball. My son played all three sports in high school. So I’m not a baseball only guy. But if your high school football coach has your Varsity baseball son doing football drills in pads right now, that is wrong. At one certain school, the baseball team lost their starting third baseman (Gladiator kid) because he dislocated his elbow in a football drill. Two weeks before high school baseball playoffs, and now his season is done. Basically this coaches decision to make Varsity baseball players do football workouts on April 22nd, 5 months before Friday night lights, just sabotaged this kids season, and the teams season. And once again, I’m a huge football supporter, but this is wrong!! This is why kids stop playing football. Coaches preach they want kids playing all the sports, well how about respect baseball season, from Feb to May !  If the shoe was on the other foot, and a kid got injured playing baseball in October and he was a varsity football starter, what would that coach do? Be pissed off! And I would 100% agree with him! There is a reason I don’t have a fall baseball program with football guys. Because I respect football season. All I’m asking is football coaches to respect baseball season. Respect the High School baseball coaches that have worked their ass off to try to get their team in a playoff situation. Support them, don’t Sabotage them by taking their players out because of a “all important April 22nd” football workout. And I don’t want to hear this was bad luck, or any crap like that!!!A lot of these kids are Division One Baseball players, and just good high school football players. If you want to continue to have these kids play football, start doing the right thing. If not, I’m going to try to get those kids quit football and just focus on baseball. And let me say it again, I want all my Gladiator kids playing football!! I go support them watching their football games, and I love it!! But not at the cost of an injury in April playing football, not baseball . Bad miss……Do a better job! Be a better football coach, and remember, it’s not about you, but it’s about the kids who respect you and will do anything you ask them to do. Don’t punish them for being a good baseball or basketball player!!
    • Only if you ignore the Constitution. I get the sentiment but I sometimes ponder when others may say, “We always support the Constitution”, “The Constitution has to be followed as the law of the land”, etc.  When in reality they mean, “I LOVE THE CONSTITUTION……. except the parts I don’t like”. There are certainly parts of the Constitution that I would change if I had the option.
