Sure. Pro Football Hall of Fame inductions: Campbell: 1 Arian: 0
Lesser - which is debatable - doesn't mean bad. Explain how it's a franchise killer? That's such empty hyperbole. There are so many "if"s stacked...
The Astros should have two retired jerseys: 5 & 7.
Earl Campbell is (rightfully) in the Hall of Fame. His three-year peak was transcendent. Arian Foster was great. He was no Earl Campbell.
There's a lot of pressure on [fill-in the blank highly-drafted rookie QB] to perform. This isn't exclusive to Stroud. Are you suggesting, after...
It peaks too early - it's extended opening is genuinely entertaining and well-done, and the rest of the movie can't quite leave up to it. The...
As long as the Texans legitimately believe in CJ Stroud's potential, drafting him was the right decision. Think about it: the Texans staged a...
Arian is basically Mike Scott. Like Foster, Scott had an incredible - but short - peak, and he accomplished things for a franchise that had not...
I should probably add: I *LOVE* debating **** like this. It's my jam. But as much as I'll fight with anyone about historical awesomeness - I have...
No slight to Andre Johnson... He may have been the face of the franchise - but that franchise was wholly anonymous, and, frankly, there was almost...
The 2010-2012 Texans were loaded offensively. Arian Foster was a significant part of that - but he wasn't around in 2008-9 when Schaub averaged...
You don't induct/honor players for hypotheticals, though. And he played in Kubiak's offense... I'm not even sure what you mean?
You don't want to dilute the RoH, though. As good as Arian was - and he was truly great - his prime was relatively short and, through no fault of...
Arian Foster is one of my all-time favorite running backs: lethal combination of speed, power, vision and grace.... just an incredibly fun back to...
One thing I hope the Astros don't do is wait for the deadline. They don't need help in six weeks; they need help now. One of Hunsicker's greatest...
I would guess we had similar concerns with Verlander in '17 (4+ FIp when we made deal), and he was six years older. It's very possible Bieber's...
No way, for me. He's safely in the Schaub, Daniels, Cushing category.
Yep. For me, it's Bagwell & Biggio; I'm more agnostic on Ryan as three teams could conceivably & credibly claim him. I think Cruz, Wynn, Dierker ,...
It's 14 starts, two of which have been atrocious. The K rate is concerning; it's been on a steady decline. But I don't think he's a 6-7 K/9 guy...
....you do realize Shane Bieber has been an uber-elite pitcher the past five years, right? 2.95 FIP and 148 ERA+ between 2019 and 2022. He's had a...
