I honestly want him to do it. Because not only would it be good for him to be that great, it'd be good for the Texans as a byproduct.
And further... he'd be the very second to win MVP and ROTY in the history of the NFL.
Which might, MIGHT I say, mean he could be one of the GOATS.
And the Texans would have him.
Houston would have him.
Man I can only dream so hard...
Yes. Indubitably.
Aka it was a disaster the moment they made it... but only because they then doubled down and gave him that utterly ridiculous contract.
I'd say 'what a shame', but I'm not all that for Browns, so thanks Browns for trading for him from the Texans!
/Love me some CJ Stroud right about now.
There is zero reason to have a bye week logically speaking anymore. The reason is money, that's all. Yeah, sure, 'safety' or giving players a break... Early bye week teams would really like the late bye week other teams get, yes? You betcha.
Bye weeks suck.
The bye week arose because the NFL had 31 teams due to the Cleveland Browns re-becoming a thing. So at that point they had to do something, 'cause some team wasn't going to play every week, so teams got a bye. They had to make up some weird rules back then.
So when the Texans came about they kind of liked the bye weeks, and they just... kept them.
But hey, extra week of NFL, everyone likes that, sure. Ok. Fine. Here's the fix:
Week 8: AFC is off that week. All NFC games.
Week 9: NFC is off that week. All AFC games.
Tada. You can flip them every year, AFC first, then NFC first, even make it a big spectacle thing if you want. All the games color rush or alternate uniforms or throwbacks... or even one offs for that week! Make it a little odd party kind of a thing. More uniforms to sell too, yes? Yes! NFL likes that.
EVERYBODY should like that. So let's do that. Hell, I'm excited thinking it could even be a thing, let's go!
/Oh, yeah... (c) 2023 me, NFL, so if you do that, I want recompense. Just a little, I'm not that expensive... in your grand scheme of selling things, truly I'm not...
Refs are either being paid off or they have bets in Vegas, I don't know which, but it was egregious yesterday Jags v Texans.
/yeah yeah, one game, but MAN, that was a piss poorly called game for sure, one of the worst cases of 'why have refs at all?'.
