Who's even starting at QB for them now? They giving him one more chance or is Colt/Cousins time?
Secrets, lies, and tragedy. The trifecta.

It would've been nice to see how RG3 would've turned out if shanahan didn't ruin him
If you remember, he was destroying a fantastic Seahawks defense before the injury that game
I agree completely. RGIII was really good before Synder/Shanahan ruined him. Hell maybe he even gets over his supposed work ethic issues and becomes a truely legendary QB.
But after the Injury. Why would you bother? Ask yourself if you would put in the effort and put yourself on the line super hard when you know your team owner won't even spring for a field that you can run on? When your head coach played you injured anyway. Jeopardizing your entire career for a single playoff berth.
RG3 actually lives near me, I see him at the grocery store and at local restaurants fairly regularly. He always seems to be very nice to fans and everyone else.
That said, he has a limited skill set and, what is worse, seems to have adopted the attitude early in his career that everything else needed to be adjusted to his limitations instead of him working to improve and expand what he is capable of.
Monday the Grantland nfl podcast did a section on the 13 quarterbacks who have thrown a pass to Andre Johnson along with their stats on those throws and it's just absolutely brutal how bad that list is.
Speaking of the Texans is Clowny still out? I know it's a bit behind but I didn't even see his name get mentioned on Hard Knocks last week.

If you combined RGIII and Tim Tebow, would you get a decent QB?
Good lord! With all the trashy "articles" the eChron posts, you're worried about this one? Where are your followups on such "stories" as the weird purple glow outside the ISS? The latest on Bigfoot? The news on which local TV anchor is getting married?
Someone thinks the Texans suck? Oh, the horror!
You see? He gets it!
A little latter on...
Some people hate. Some people hate success. Some people just hate to feel better about themselves. This is really sad. But it won't have a baring on how successful J. J. is or even how the Texans will perform this year.
Success? For whom? From submissions to the WYTS article.
13 of his 20.5 sacks last year were against teams with a combined record of 22-58. 10 of which were against Jacksonville and Tennessee.
and
Here were the teams the Texans beat during the recent 2013 [ed. 2014, actually...Texans fan, go figure] season to show “improvement” at 9-7:
Washington
Oakland
Buffalo
Tennessee
Cleveland
Jacksonville
Baltimore
Also bear in mind that the Texans got the benefit of playing Tennessee & Jacksonville twice.
Philadelphia was full of rage and sacrificing the heads of hitchiking robots, but Tebow steps on the field and they see a light so pure, so true, and realize they need to be better people.
I've said I've never wanted to see a Theisman like hit again but I'm really coming around on that subject when it comes to Tebow.

If RG3 had the situational pocket IQ, with the arm he has/had, he could have been one of the best. Thing is he doesn't have the QB IQ.
I wanted to like him. I really did. The moment they trotted him back out into the game on his broken leg I knew he was finished. At best he can become a competent play caller. The type good enough to not be the problem.
The only thing is, there's always somebody else coming out of college. Younger, faster, healthier.
Every "why your team sucks" article is supposed to be brutal.
The Houston one hits a bit below the belt, but probably only because i actually love that city.
I don't see any reason to get all butt hurt about the article. They equally offend everyone at some point in time! Its all in good humor anyway.

Yes. Watching that playoff game was horrible. There was an article I read that was something like "Why RG3 is a bad QB" that went through tape on him missing obvious check downs and even open receivers down field because he would just take off running after a few seconds. I remember his last year at Baylor because they played the Huskies in some lesser bowl that year. He threw the ball all over the place in that college spread offense but just never was able to make the jump to pro.
RG3 reminds me of my ability with math (stay with me here you mother fuckers...) anyway when I was in school I got math, I got it like a fish gets water and so I never had to learn how to learn math, I just understood it, up until calculus where math became less about real math and all about letters and formulas, since I never learned how to learn I couldn't keep up and thus despite being really good up until calc, calc did me in.
That's RG3 in college he was a natural talent able to just be amazeballs on his athleticism alone, then he hits the pros and its like calc he can't keep up, he doesn't even know how to learn how to keep up and why should it matter he didn't have to before? So he flounders and blames the coaches etc because he can't see the problem is himself.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

Bullshit. Before his injury he was one of the best QBs in the league, let alone the rookie class. He threw like 350 yards in his first game (and ran another 80) and he did this playing with the slurs line and the slurs receiver core.
He was amazing right up until his injury. And he was competent even with the first injury in he playoff game against the Hawks. But after that game? Donezo. Whatever drive he had was dead, whatever pep he had was gone.
I just read that article and it is so spot on and hilarious. How can you disagree with this
That's how much you motherfuckers suck. All those titles in every sport and you're all STILL unhappy. All the fucking time. If my team had three rings, I would skip around my neighborhood naked all day long, throwing cupcake sprinkles at everyone.
But noooooo, not New England fans. No no no, they have to spend every last waking second bitching about all the additional titles they should have won. The Red Sox won a title last season—their third in the past decade—and yet they still bitch about the team sucking this year! JESUS FUCKING CHRIST. These are terrible people, and they root for a team run by a terrible man who demands passion from his players and then cuts those same players as bloodlessly as a guillotine operator. They are disloyal and hypocritical. They demand fealty and offer none of their own. Fuck them. Charles Barkley knows what time it is.

When his legs got taken away it provides at least a bit of proof that his QB IQ just isn't there. The article I remember did go through tape of him missing openings that other QBs just wouldnt. I also remember his TE blasting him as well (Cooley) as a QB who just couldnt get it done. I like RG3, dont get me wrong, he probably has the best arm, in my opinion, since Vick. And, as others have said, there is the news of him not putting in the work either.

I grew up in Houston (18 years), left, and have no plans of ever going back (except to visit friends/family). Unless you have a specific reason to go to Houston, there is no reason to go, especially during the months of April through September; fuck that heat and fuck that humidity. Of course, I left in 2001, so apparently a lot has changed with things in the city, but you'll never catch me moving back. I thought the description of how the city is was harsh but kind of accurate.
That being said, I thought last year's Why Your Team Sucks on the Texans was more cleverly written with the Houston bashing; this year's just ran out of things to say and tried to re-hash last year's. The difference was he took out the Schaub jersey burning (I'm still embarrassed by that) and replaced it with Watt hating.

I kinda disagree. Patriots will cut you when you're done, yea, just like every team. But they're not disloyal. They have done plenty of little things to let players hit incentives or get them a little extra cash when didn't have to
They just aren't going to pay you big bucks when you suck and are old

Didn't they cut a guy right before the Super Bowl (as a necessary roster move) but still give him a ring? I don't remember the full story anymore.

The Washington media has had weird vendettas against their starting QBs for decades, going back even to before Snyder owned the team.
That said, he has a limited skill set and, what is worse, seems to have adopted the attitude early in his career that everything else needed to be adjusted to his limitations instead of him working to improve and expand what he is capable of.
Hopefully he has gotten over that.

It's amazing what happens when you cut out your piece-of-shit owner from the major decisions and hire a real DC.

According to the "Hear it from Niners Fans" section here are the things they would like to fuck Jed York with:

- A stick of dynamite
- A hot branding iron

I mean, I haven't seen it mentioned in the thread, but Rivers signed a new deal and, well: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/08/17/rivers-will-make-375-million-this-year/
That seems a little insane, honestly. I guess it's upfront bonuses and everything, but sheesh.
Edit: Slight clarification from the URL because I know how that looks, but that's $37.5 million, not $375. Hah.

I will maintain to this day that if Rivers went to the Giants they would have won at least one more Superbowl over Eli's Giants.
