Okay I've somehow missed everything involving this giant QB can someone please fill in this ignoramus on the humor of this situation? Is it because the Texans might be trading for a guy that's never done poo poo?

The Texans QB position is in limbo, to put it nicely, and Ryan Mallett has been a joke ever since he was drafted by the Patriots and teased every single offseason as a "hot trade commodity"

Do you remember how Scott Pioli left New England, came to KC, and doomed us with a trade for Matt Cassel

Er yeah if it was for the first pick I'd have to become a fan of another team. Even if they trade for him it won't be for #1

If they get him for like a 4th rounder then whatever I guess, but if the Texans trade something like #33 for Ryan Mallett then lol

It would be 5.3 hours if every team used the whole ten minutes. I wonder if there's an over/under Vegas bet going.

If the Patriots get a single pick for a quarterback who has only thrown four passes (all in garbage time) (one of which was an inter-goddamn-ception) because one of their dumbass assistant coaches that somehow keep getting elevated to running teams of their own has a bizarre personal relationship, I am going to eat a hat.

I'm guessing this is a dumb smokescreen to get the Falcons/whoever else worried that Houston doesn't want to trade the first anymore.

@evansilva
The last time a Belichick protege traded for a #Patriots backup quarterback, his name was Matt Cassel & the victim was Scott Pioli.

Also, he's a literal methhead.

I mean Cassel did have that one season in KC. I know he's actually terrible, but if we don't give him that then we don't give Derek Anderson 2007 and I dont want to live in that world.

Second source says nothing doing at the moment on Mallett to Houston. We'll watch how it plays out. Makes sense if Clowney is No. 1.

Crisis averted

Also hoping his "sources" are twitter feeds and his "second source" is JLC :laugh:

Matt Cassel had a really good year. I mean considering what they got for that trade, it was probably a wash if you ignore the contract they gave Cassel.

I'd give the credit to Charlie Weis being able to spin poo poo into gold before I'd ever give Cassel credit for 2010.

It's understandable you thought they were giving up draft picks for a guy whose highlight reel resembles Rob Ford's

Remember when Matt Cassel was going to build on his second season and was even making commercials in the offseason where he was going "come at me, bro!"?

And then defenses came at him and he fumbled every other play. Memories.
