Texans QB Deshaun Watson tore his ACL today at practice

Lets not get ahead of ourselves.

Trust me saying we should beat the 1 win giants and now QB less 3-4 Texans isn’t getting ahead. Saying we will go 14-2 is getting ahead.

 

[Q729]

Holy shit. That is all.

The NFL is a battle of attrition.

Maybe not the time to start the narrative and maybe insensitive but this is why i prefer a guy like goff over these types of qb's. They can only last so long with their style of play. Wentz is another one who worries me, only Wilson seems to be the exception.

I didn't see much of him but i never saw him take a big hit when he ran. Just unlucky for him, a non contract injury.

Yeah, I don't think it's getting ahead to note shortcomings or problems opponents have...Terrible break for him, but it makes the game far more winnable for the Rams..He is a very up and coming young QB, no doubt...Hate to see this happen to him...

 

[Dodgersrf]

Hope it's not that serious.
Watson seems like a genuinely nice guy. I'm rooting for the kid.

 

[Dodgersrf]

Ugh.. this sucks. Dude is such a baller. Was excited to see him and Jared go at it next week..

Terrible news for one of NFL's newest stars..

I was too

That sucks. That's my dude.

Texans to sign Matt McGloin with Deshaun Watson out for season

With Deshaun Watson out for the season with a torn ACL, the Texans need another quarterback on the roster, and they’ve already identified the one they want.

Houston will sign Matt McGloin, according to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle.

A former Penn State quarterback, McGloin had by far his best college season in 2012, the year Texans coach Bill O’Brien was his head coach. McGloin joined the Raiders as an undrafted rookie in 2013 and spent four years in Oakland, starting seven games. He signed with the Eagles this offseason but was released at the end of the preseason.

The Texans will turn back to Tom Savage, who started Week One before being benched for Watson, on Sunday against the Colts.

Man what a blow.. They really don't have much now without him.. We know how it feels. Bradford was having his best season when he tore his.. Sucks

 

[Angry Ram]

Texans are still a good team though, it's not gonna be any easy out for us.

JJ Watt
Whitney Mercilus
Brian Cushing
CJ Fiedorowicz
Duane Brown
Chris Covington
DeShaun Watson

Core of their team is on IR or gone completely. Tom Savage is no where near the level of a decent starting QB.

The weird thing is...everyone is all in on the Astros (as am I) and no one really knows about this news.

That sucks balls. Kid is a star and was fun to watch all season. Such a shame.

Houston fans screamed to the sports gods...

"Anything for a world series title!!! Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The sports gods listened and took their payment the very next day. It was a bittersweet tale for Houston fans.

Yeah it was a roller coaster 24 hours.

Maybe not the time to start the narrative and maybe insensitive but this is why i prefer a guy like goff over these types of qb's. They can only last so long with their style of play. Wentz is another one who worries me, only Wilson seems to be the exception.

Blowing out a knee is almost always a non-contact injury and a lot of times just happens when a player plants wrong. This happened in practice so for sure he wasn't taking a hit.

But I generally agree. I've ALWAYS said that QB's have to make their living on THEIR side of the LOS.

When was the last time the rams started 7-2?

2007, 2008, 2009.

Texans to sign Matt McGloin

FUCK!! Now this is certainly an L for the Rams. Kidding of course, and I think this is a mistake they should have signed Keapernick. HOU is one game behind JAX and TENN, neither of which are looking very strong right now. This was a bad football move. McGloin is terrible.

 

[bluecoconuts]

Sucks for the kid, I really feel for him, he was showing a lot of promise.

 

[dieterbrock]

This is a lock now, though I had the Rams winning before this, at this point it'll probably be lopsided.



Especially when a player comes out of nowhere like he did. It's an awful way for a truly excellent story line to end.

I just did some number crunching.........a 16 game season modeled after the 6 games he has started would look like this:

4178 yards passing
674 yards rushing
48 passing TD's (21 INT's)
5 rushing TD's
8.8 YPA

It's not likely that he would be able to keep that pace, but imagine if he did. Not only would he be ROTY he would probably garner the MVP trophy too. Not to mention setting a bar so high it's unlikely that the TD's and YPA would ever be matched by a rookie QB forever. It would be like Bob Beamon's Olympic long jump record. Unbreakable.

He's gotta stop running though, he won't last if he keeps it up.

Well he was only going to play 15 games but still the point is valid. He was on his way to setting all kinds of rookie records

 

[LesBaker]

JJ Watt
Whitney Mercilus
Brian Cushing
CJ Fiedorowicz
Duane Brown
Chris Covington
DeShaun Watson

Cushing is a cheating turd.

Busted again for PED's. Kick those guys out of the league forever and the rest of the players will stop taking shit.

The quality of the game won't suffer a single bit.

 

[dieterbrock]

Proof that teams would rather lose than sign Kaepernick.
He’d fit in perfectly with what Watson was running

 

[Mojo Ram]

"We will rally behind Matt McGroin and we will...."

 

[fearsomefour]

If he was in LA some local writer would report he was benched for Savage.

 

[fearsomefour]

Too bad.
Very fun player to watch.
