Is no1 here a Texan fan?
I could care less ... until they resurrect the Oilers' name.
They are not the only "Texans" in this State.
Cowboys fan here, through and through. NOT a fair-weather fan like a lot.
I beg your pardon, sir - you're disparaging my favorite team and my sanity?No one in their right mind would admit it.
I agree with your opinion of Clowney - he did not have a good season, and there are many people who question his effort. He's an incredible athlete with lots of ability, but not exactly a workaholic - sounds a lot like Mario Williams to me.Greg I hope the texans don't pick clowney unless they plan on trading him right away. Clowney took 2013 off and only got 3 sacks and against vandy Georgia and Clemson. I question his work ethic and I wouldn't draft him even if he is fast. I'd stick to lineman or try and trade for a QB.

The deal for Fitzpatrick that was announced today may change that picture somewhat. He's worse than Schaub, and for some reason the Texans are giving him a 2-year deal w/ $4M guaranteed. Signing Fitzpatrick means they pretty much have to get rid of Schaub now, and I think it probably means a deal is already done but not announced with either Oakland or Cleveland. I think this all means they're more likely now to take a QB at 1:1, and supposedly the Texans (and lots of other folks) liked what they saw with Bortles' workout yesterday. Fitzpatrick is almost certainly not going to be our ticket to the postseason, so the only purpose I can see for signing the guy is to mentor a QB they draft and let carry the clipboard for a bit until he learns the offense.Ive got a beer bet that texans won't pick a QB first round. I'm saying they won't.
Trade was confirmed. The timing is right with Bortles proday.The deal for Fitzpatrick that was announced today may change that picture somewhat.
