The Texans went 9-7 with a menagerie of poo poo at QB. This is good

They go from a 4th place schedule (Bills and Raiders) to a 2nd place schedule (Bengals and Chiefs) which is a pretty lateral move considering they played the Bengals this year anyway. Go from playing AFCN and NFCN to AFCE and NFSC. So the schedule looks a little easier. A lot depends on a) how much the division/Bortles improves and b)if they can get anything out of their upcoming draft/Clowney/the rest of the 2014 non-contributors

I think there's a real chance at being a 10+ win team, maybe better depending on how the QB situation ends up

Andre Johnson and Jonathan Joseph probably get cut if they don't restructure, I have no doubt Kareem Jackson is back either way

There aren't any other really significant free agents

The Titans are awful. Blowing the team up and starting all over is the only answer. I can't think of a single positive thing from this season.

Mettenberger had moments where he looked like he could be really good

e: Going back to the Texans playing a 2nd place schedule, I'm so glad the Chiefs beat the Chargers in week 17 to pass them in the standings even though the Browns didn't help the Texans. I'm a lot more terrified of the Chargers than the Chiefs

I don't know man. The Jaguars seem to have a roster of nobodies.

It seems like that Jags have a bunch of young guys who aren't superstars but are surprisingly good. They could surprise some people soon, or maybe they just seem that way to me because they play the Texans tough and it's a divisional game and the Texans aren't that great anyway

It's worth sharing again, but here's an article from October by Kolb himself about dealing with his concussions, what he's doing now, and even surviving a hurricane.

To directly address your comment though, he and a friend own a mining equipment business and he knows he's done playing football.

I wonder how often he has to be reminded he's done playing football

What is it with this guy? He acts like a grumpy 90 year old man.

JJ Watt has been in the league for four years. In the 2012 season he became the first ever player to have a PFF score over 100. After setting the record in 2012, he broke it in 2013, then broke that one again this year

He can be a stick in the mud all he wants

Too early? Dude, it's still so early there are 32 NFL teams would could make that claim.

Certainly the Texans couldn't. You have to go all the way to the 6th round to find a player who played more than one full game before being lost to injury and wasn't irredeemably awful and Clowney's knee is probably going to gently caress his career

jj watt is insanely good and it's amazing watching him play and any team would love to have him on their roster because we won't see a player like him for another generation, at least. but if he were in the military he'd get tillman'd in a loving hurry because holy poo poo is nothing worse than being stuck in closed quarters with some hyper-square rear end in a top hat with no sense of humor for extended periods of time. being as serious as he is about football even when just talking casually about it is lol as gently caress because even actual combat veterans don't talk about their service as seriously as he treats pigskin and it'd get old really loving quick

This is one of the dumbest things I've ever read in TFF, even for a Seahawks poster

Also: do you really think the military is short of guys who take the whole thing super seriously?

JJ Watt is super serious about football arguably to a fault, but what you can't argue is the results

Being the way he is might not be necessary for everyone but obviously it works for him

It's not like I'm saying everyone has to be super serious all the time

I'm not sure I agree with the Texans being good next year considering the plan is either Ryan Mallett or some rookie who isn't Jameis or Mariota

The Colts will likely have their automatic five or six wins in the division and then we also play the NFC South
