He might be obnoxious but he does have some valid points that you could bring up when arguing who the best is.

Its sad that the Gary Kubiak era has contaminated the fanbase.

This fanbase has been together for so long with Kubiak and Schaub that the fanbase has adopted Kubiak's conservative, scared to go for the win mentality. Kubiak has turned this fanbase into scared little kids who cant look at a crucial field goal kick. Scared to run a trick play.

This fanbase has become gutless like Kubiak. You guys need to check yourselves. Look at the mirror, arent you ashamed you've become like Kubiak?

When did you all become so scared to take a chance?

When did you all become so conservative like Kubiak?

When did you guys become so fearful of doing something drastic? Something that had high risk but also had high reward?

When did you guys become Kubiak?

When did you guys become so scared to go big?

When did you guys adopt the play not to lose mentality?

The Manziel pick is the ANTI KUBIAK PICK. Its the trick play that Kubiak was always scared to call.

The Manziel pick is that 4th down that Kubiak was always afraid to go for.

The Manziel pick is that 3rd down pass that Schaub would have never gone for.

The Manziel pick is going for the win, instead of playing not to lose.

Johnny Manziel's entire being as a player and person is the complete opposite of what we have had here for more than half a decade. He is the complete opposite of Matt Schaub.

Yet for some strange idiotic reason, Texan fans at least on this site are completely oblivious and are against Manziel. You guys want another prototypical big tall quarterback in blake bortles who looks and plays just like another Matt Schaub.

This is is the kind of sad, ignorant mentality that has afflicted this franchise.

You guys are afraid to think outside the box.

This is the kind of mentality that allows someone like Schaub and David Carr to last this long.

YOU ARE JUST LIKE YOUR FRONT OFFICE.

AFRAID TO TAKE A CHANCE SO LETS STICK WITH THE STATUS QUO OF CARR, KUBIAK, AND SCHAUB.

Here is Johnny Football. The anti schaub. The high risk high reward guy. The tested talent vs great competition. The talent that looks spectacular on the field. The new breed of running and passing quarterback cut from the same cloth as the russell wilsons, the kapernicks, the newtons, the rg3s...


Yet what does the fanbase and current coaching staff do?

You try to look for ways to not draft the guy. You make up fake accusations like having poor work ethic. You do everything to tell yourself we dont want that guy.

David Carr was the prototypical qb. Schaub had the prototypical qb height.

How many times are we gonna with the prototypical qb and get our hearts broken?

Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.

Go ahead, pick the safe prototypical quarterback texans so we can get our prototypical result.

The prototypical result. The first result that ever happened. Since there was only one player in the prototypical football game (imagined in the head of the prototypical football player) the prototypical result is, in fact, not a score but simply the game of football being played *Texans draft prototypical player and open wormhole*

I am originally from Auburn, Alabama. I'm graduated from OHS '90. I am currently serving my country as an Army Officer @ Redstone for the past 20 years. I believe in responsibility, accountability, and commitment.

My oldest son, CJ is now in the 7th grade and plays football RB/WR, basketball (SG), and baseball (CF). He asked me why did RE commit to Bama and not Auburn and his parents attended Auburn?

I took my son outside on the porch and talked to my son about integrity and commitment. I told my son that I was the first member of my family to attend college. I grew up 2 block from Auburn in the projects dreaming of the day I would attend college at Auburn. I had no father figure in my life. I remember growing up when Auburn students would come to the projects and play with us, teach bible study, and mentor us to strive in education. It was one of the best time of my young life. Those Auburn students did not have to do that (back in '80) time frame. God paved a way for me to attend Auburn with the help of the Auburn community and family. You never turn your back on a community who has helped paved the way for you.

I told my son that Auburn stands for something and that's family regardless of race, color, creed, or religion. The community of Auburn is like family. I told him that I was building a path for him as the next generation son to attend Auburn. I also told him about the history of Auburn and what separate us from the Turds.

My son looked at me and said; he will be the next 5* RB/WR, baseball or basketball star and commit to Auburn as soon as he gets an offer. (He's confident). I said why? He said because I trust you dad and I love Auburn because you have paved the way for me to continue a generation.

My son said if I committed to the Turds; it's like turning your back on your community (teachers, friends, and family) that has paved the way for me. I want to attend Auburn not only to be an Engineer but I want to 'knock' the crap out some punk Turd kid on the field.

He said, "I love you dad" and you would never have to worry about me going to the Turds because Auburn is already home because it's not about me; it's about a legacy.

This was the first time, I dropped a tear in from of my son!

War drat Eagle!

Like JADennis said, I don't think they're getting any money from REC, but the timing of this sale is shady in regard to the family saying that he didn't know where he wanted to play.

That's why I'm so glad my school is division 3. Just try getting excited about an all white basketball team. TRY IT

My alma mater is Div I but had no football team. Our biggest sports were soccer (NCAA champ while I was there one & runner up another time), Women's Basketball and binge drinking. I literally cannot fathom their mindset.

I drove by Toomer's Corner


For the first time since the trees were removed, I drove by Toomer's Corner. I am reminded how the NYC skyline looked without the Twin Towers

Sash! posted:

Eh, that's a tough one. Everyone knows how different NYC's skyline looks without the WTC so it's a decent reference point. There's no really any widely known "Town X looks different after building Y burned down."

Do you think he's the first EVER gay football player? I don't. Sexual preference is a choice, plain and simple. Just as gay men CHOSE to go back to women as many do. It's a choice. The locker room would always be Awkward. I wouldn't want a locker next to him. Would you?

His ability should be the only thing his game is based on. If he had kept his mouth shut,it would have been.

If he wanted to be treated as an equal, or as a man, he could have been. Now other players WILL feel uncomfortable around him, and rightfully so. I wouldn't want to feel like he was checking me out, would you? or is that tollerable where you come from? Personally, I get offended when they give me the look, or their thoughts about me. I mean it's cool when women tells me about her unsolicited interest, but, I'm offended when it's a non woman.

Perhaps he needs his own locker room, as the women do. Why wasn't he just as curtious with his team in college? Why didn't he jump out of that closet back then? This is 2014 after all.

I'm sorry, when you treat everyone as equal, when they clearly are not, what do you have then? You have Socialism, you have communism.

This story is not big. It's one more distraction vs real news.

You're right, hopefully more players willfollow in his footsteps, and we can have one big "happy" sunshiny, thilly little football league where all the teams win , nobody gets their feelings hurt, and everybody plays nice....

The statue wasn't in a prominent place in town. You had to go look for it on purpose.

If only they'd have stuck the statue in the showers, people might've found out about Sandusky a whole lot quicker.
