Can we all agree Rick Smith is not a bad GM?

I wasn't so much pining as showing how one domino influences the next. No Osweiler, we could have had Lynch. No Browns bailout, we don't pursue Romo. Sign Romo, maybe we don't draft Watson. I'm just thanking my stars that the Chiefs took Mahomes. The more draft reports I read of Mahomes I realized I was reading about Johnny Manziel without the binge drinking.

And what proof do you have that Lynch is a better choice than Osweiler?

To me that is the flaw in your logic. At this time no one is sure that Lynch is a NFL starting QB. Like many QBs, he started the 2015 season as one of the top prospect and as the draft season went on he dropped. He is a 6'7" QB. And like Brock he will have issues getting the ball out due to a slow delivery.

That said, and i repeat again, no one knows if he is the answer for Denver, yet Bob keeps stating the Texans would be better off with him.

I like the way the Texans have managed the QB, yes it has been frustrating. But I think we have a kid who in HS as a freshman beat out a senior QB to start for his team. At a QB camp on the Clemson campus as a 9th grader, he was offered a college scholarship. As a true college freshman, he became the starting QB and Clemson never looked back.

This season if he does not play, will be the 1st time in his life he was not the 1st team starting QB.

IMO he maybe the best prospect the city of Houston has every had for a pro team. OK, maybe not as a good as Jim Kelly, but danged close, Kelly did not win a National Championship.
