  1. If Caserio doesn’t see value, he should make the obvious move and trade back. There could be teams in the late first or early second that want to jump up for a particular OT or WR and give up an extra 3rd round pick. #23 is probably too early for Longhorns Mitchell, Worthy, and Sweat but it would be amazing if they somehow walked away with two of those guys.
  2. Not just less money for Mixon, but Mixon in a contract year should give maximum effort. I like it much better than overpaying Barkley or Henry. They are are better on offense and with a couple more signings will be better on defense (on paper) without consuming a ton of cap space.
  3. Maybe Houston knows that Dameon Pierce roided up all offseason and is about to murder some people next season?
  4. Surly: Caserio: Longterm deals that pay players in the top 3 or 5 at their position generally don’t age well, with exceptions like Pat Mahomes and a handful of LTs. Caserio seems like the type who will overspend to the point of paying a player 5-10% above their projected value, but tells free agents goodbye and good luck when other teams back up the Brinks truck. People want Saquan or Henry at RB for the studs they were out of college and early in their careers. There’s a better than average chance some third round rookie will have a better season than one or both of those guys. The Patriots sustained success by pairing a HOF QB with an excellent HC and mostly undervalued supporting players. Outside of KC/Mahomes, every team struggles to remain perennial contenders because their star players eat up a high % of the cap and when inevitably gets injured or starts to suck, the team has a rough season and has to retool. I don’t know who’s going to fill all these positions for Houston, but I feel like the dodged a bullet by not handing out $27M/yr to a second tier DT, or a big contract to a RB that may be cut in a year.
  5. Unless theirs is in the top 4, then they get both theirs and Brooklyn’s.
  6. Simms was pretty insistent about CJ Stroud over Bryce Young before and after all the S2 score shit.
  7. He’s getting paid $38M this year no matter what. His Denver contract has offset language, so if he signs somewhere for $10, Denver then pays him $28. He’d be hurting his new team to sign for more and take cap space and make the same amount of money. I think they said the vet minimum is $1.21M, so that’s probably what he will sign for and Denver will pay him $36.8m
  8. He’d be an upgrade in ATL, Pittsburgh, or Tampa (if Mayfield leaves) if they didn’t want to go after a rookie or high priced free agent. If he sucks, he only cost you $1.21M. The Bears, Redskins, or Patriots could bring him in to let their rookie sit on the bench for a year and watch while the team at least pretends to be competitive.
  9. There is a salary cap with a certain amount of money. The salary of the first round pick is much less than what Burns will make. There is likely enough room for one extra impact FA more than whatever you could sign along with Burns. The Texans need as many new impact players as they can get on the roster.
  10. Hard pass. #23 this year should yield a starting caliber OT, WR, DB, or DT on a rookie salary for 5 years (with franchise option on a 6th). The team would still have money to sign an additional high end free agent. Giving up the #23 pick for the right to pay Burns franchise money is not equivalent value over the next 5 years. Trading down a few slots and ending up with 2 Longhorns (Mitchell or Worthy and Sweat? Murphy and Sanders?) would be amazing
  11. Maybe teams will learn a lesson and stop overpaying for stars who have already peaked. LOL jk no they won’t.
  12. 7U metro team got moved from AAA to AA to balance division sizes. Beat two AAA teams this weekend 16-9 and 17-10 LOL. We may steamroll the AA and look like ring chasers. At least the boy went 5-6, 6 R, 6 RBI to open the season. Should be fun to let the kids play a ton of different positions and still win.
  13. In 60% of the mock drafts, he’s a first rounder every time.
  14. He used to shit on Texas players before the draft and early in their careers in the 2000s, including VY. I don’t know if it was right before or right after his kid went to Arky. It seemed like he had to be a mouthpiece for whoever his sources were, including mediocre NFL darlings like Jeff Fisher, and put their narratives out there to the mouth breathing NFL masses. ESPN back burnered him when he got sick and Adam Schefter started to come on. Haven’t missed him on air, but RIP. Maybe he can break more stories about who’s in and who’s out 30 seconds before Saint Peter announces it.
  15. Lol lot of hate towards Mahomes who probably had nothing to do with Britt’s employment or drinking and no say in his sentencing. Wouldn’t justice be for Britt to kill himself or Andy or one of the Chiefs’ owners’ kids? Or ironic justice if he gets killed or raped by someone also let out too soon on parole?
  16. The escalation of trade value for top picks for QBs got out of whack. Except for the rare Manning or Luck prospects, they are all scratch off lotto tickets that could boom or bust or just be mediocre. Trading away 3 #1’s or something similar depletes your future roster of impact starters all for a hope the QB prospect pans out. I don’t like Fields, but if the Bears can find someone stupid enough to give them a haul like Carolina did last year, they should trade out again. Last year, as a Texans fan I was worried about Stroud because of how past Ohio St. QBs fared in the NFL, but there was peace in that the decision was left to fate of whichever lotto ticket (Stroud or Young) fell to them without having to give up extra draft capital. I’d feel the same way this year for the Patriots and not want to give up anything to move up and take one of these 3 QBs over another.
  17. Hell yes
  18. And teeth!
  19. Or trading for Fields
  20. Omega is the necromancer
  21. At what age do you select dads find that it starts to click for most kids or is every high level kid quite different? Last year our 6u all stars rolled through a joke summer rec league based only on physical talent. Last fall the kids got picked for “AAA” rec ball and they made a jump, but nothing like I’ve seen at a couple 9U select games. Now we’re playing a different rec league with AAA and several select or ex-select kids mixed into the other teams. These boys as first graders might be better than I was at third or fourth grade, but they are still 6 and 7 and have 30 second attention spans. I’m hoping there’s a natural mental leap around the corner and that I’m not holding back their development due to inexperienced coaching.
  22. @tx 3 putt he just gave you the sign to double steal.
  23. Are we at the point this show is like Rogue One, where you don’t get too attached to the characters because you know their end is near? That said, what are the chances Tech is still alive? Will Palpatine hump Omega to produce Rey’s father?
  24. I’d happily take either of them in the 2nd round, but I could see why some have Murphy higher based on consistency, floor, and ceiling. I hope the Texans get a Longhorn in the 2nd round between the WRs, DTs, or Sanders.
  25. Yeah, we voted on that at our last lodge meeting. Next month, we release Xenu from the volcano prison.
