It was shades of the Rockets in 1994-1995 level "good" where you weren't sure if they were good (they were!) or if they were "good."

2012 Schaub on this team would be a Superbowl favorite. That's part of what makes this so painful. We're literally just a QB away, but QB is the hardest position to fill

So it's 2011 again, and we have all the information we have now. And you're the Dallas Cowboys, at the draft, sitting at number nine. JJ Watt is available. Do you take him, or do you stay with Tyron Smith?

The real tragedy is that we're going to waste Watt's career here by never turning into anything in the 5 years we've got him signed.

It's not Hakeem's fault Jordan couldn't get past Penny Hardaway and the Magic. Penny, Dennis Scott and Nick Anderson hit 12 of 23 3 pointers in the United Center to send the Bulls home early. Meanwhile the Rockets had to win elimination games against Utah and Phoenix before Hakeem took apart one of the greatest offensive centers of all time in David Robinson, before embarrassing Shaq. They were more than "good."

I mean, Tyron Smith is also really loving good, with a chance to be a generational player. It's not that cut-and-dry.

There were a bunch of people around town saying they'd rather beat the Cowboys than the Colts. Now they lost to both as penance.

So what are the odds that Houston regrets taking Clowney over Bridgewater by the end of the year? I'd say it's almost guaranteed.

ROSS MY SALAD posted:Even good players screw up sometimes. Yeah, I made that same argument a day or two ago about Sherman. I'm merely observing that people comparing the two of them are going to have that game as an actual example of them going head to head. In contrast to the Brady vs. Manning debates where the two are never on the field at the same time.

If we wanted Teddy, we'd have him. We don't, so we didn't.
