I might officially be drinking the regular season Koolaid

I was a big fan of the Savage pick! I considered him the best QB of that group as far as NFL potential and upside goes. He played behind a crappy OL at Pitt and hung in there and competed. He also played behind crappy OL when with the Texans. Also know that O'brien's offense ask the QB to do a lot of things, knew it would take about 3 years to start seeing any thing from him. He still doesn't have many reps but at least he now knows the system.
Feel pretty good about our QB situation, for the first time in many years.

Is this what the kids wear these days?
quote:Did you see what happened last year? We played JJ more than any D-lineman in history and he walked out of the season with a broken body.
I trust JJ and the Texans staff to make the right decisions regarding his playing time.
quote:I dont need to know what happens behind close doors. He had multiple offseason surgeries and plays more snaps than any d-lineman in history.
This a pretty dumb statement on your part without knowing anything going on behind the scenes..
quote:If Gronk played for the Texans you would be saying that we don't get any production from our TEs and we can rest him when we are safely in the playoffs.
You're over thinking it. The feelings of the fan base have nothing to do with it.
The problem is that since JJ has been here they've gotten very little contribution from anyone else in that front seven. He has been our front seven for a few years now.
If players like Mercilus, Clowney, and Simon step up then we can afford to rest JJ. Until that happens they have to have him out there to win games and he'll continue to be out there.
And Gronk doesn't play a lot because Gronk is beat to shlt, not because Belichek rests him.
quote:I actually think that is the point. I think this team is good enough to let JJ rest (or Gronk if we actually had him).
Now you're just not making any sense.
If this team had some better production from others and some improved depth (which it looks like they do this year) then JJ would rest more.
quote:Fair enough. That is probably a reach. I dont actually know BOB or JJ personally, but they appear to be very motivated and passionate individuals. They may not feel fan pressure, but they will probably make their own pressure.
You said earlier that it was because of fan feelings.
That is incorrect (at least that's what I believe). That's what I don't agree with.
