Thread: Take The Texans Prediction Challenge

Before Jan. 15th, see if you can successfully predict all three:

1. Name the head coach of the Houston Texans for 2014.
2. Name the player the Texans choose in the first round of the 2014 draft.
3. Name the starting quarterback for the Texans season opener.



HC: Wade Phillips? Lovie Smith? Ken Whisenhunt? Rex Ryan?

#1 pick: Teddy Bridgewater? Jake Matthews? Jadaveon Clowney? Johnny Manziel?

Starting QB: Bridgewater? Manziel? Matt Schaub? Case Keenum? Jay Cutler?

Harder than it looks.

Lovie Smith, Teddy B, Teddy B.

I almost had them picking Clowney, but QBs almost always slide into that top spot, and they need as QB. With the issues arising around Clowney, I can see him slipping out of the top spot.

Noted. Let's see what a few others predict.

Head coach - Whisenhunt

Bridgewater x2.

Lovie Smith, Jadeveon Clowney, Case Keenum.

Bill O'Brien, Anthony Barr, Blake Bortles.

1. Name the head coach of the Houston Texans for 2014. Lovie Smith
2. Name the player the Texans choose in the first round of the 2014 draft. Anthony Barr, OLB, UCLA
3. Name the starting quarterback for the Texans season opener. Case Keenam

Penn state's Bill O'Brien. TB TB

Well it looks like O'Brien is in line to take the HC job there. I'm 0/1 so far!

Obrien, good pick. Get Manziel, Manziel

HC: Bill O'brien- He will b named HC very soon
#1: J. Clowney
QB: R. Mallett (acquired from NE for 2nd or 3rd Rd pick)

Bill O'Brien has emerged as the overwhelming favorite to become the next coach of the Houston Texans, and the two sides are working to get a deal in place within the next week, league sources told ESPN.

O'Brien met with the Texans this week after Christmas at his home in Cape Cod, resulting in intensified discussions they hope will culminate with a finalized contract, the sources said.

The Texans still have a short list of candidates in case talks break down with the Penn State coach, sources added.

The Texans had been doing due diligence on O'Brien, including his six-year stint with the New England Patriots. The feedback has been strong in his favor, sources said, which motivated Houston to commence negotiations to get a deal in place.

A bottle of Bortles and Jaymes, natch.

Manziel would be the best thing to happen to that franchise.
