I'm so glad Houston wasted it's first pick on Clowney and not that bigger dud Bortles

Don't write off Clowney

I want to see Bortles play behind an NFL standard offensive line before I completely write him off.
Clowney really depends on how his body holds up.

Feels like every time I click on the NFL website to check the game, Bortles is being sacked.

Todman busts out a 62 yard TD run and the Jaguars go up 21-10 half-way through the last quarter. I'm sitting in my office cussing away as my fantasy opponent has Todman. FFS.

Cutler is an easy scapegoat with his DGAFF attitude but you play qb for a northern big city team, you should expect pressure.

Not quite a Lambeau Leap. Seemed like there were only 10-15 people there to catch him!

Just imagine a fit Clowney and Watt, disregarding Cushing.

That pass inteference against Tennesse was just such a bad call. Realise does ruin a game

If the Titans and Bucs are above you in the draft order you can kiss Winston and Mariota goodbye. I'm almost certain they will draft both those QB's, just depends who goes where.
Titans last 3 opponents had a combined 8 wins on the season, lost to them all.
last time a stretch been this bad was the 1996 Saints, losing to teams with 8 wins combined in week 13 to 15 (2, 2, 3 wins)
yuck

Sen'Derrick Marks' sack of Charlie Whitehurst activated a clause paying him a $600,000 bonus for number of sacks in the season.

Raiders now have NFL’s longest underdog streak

With the Jaguars closing as favorites vs. the Titans on Thursday night, 31-of-32 teams have been favored by oddsmakers this season.
The lone exception is the Raiders, who have been underdogs in 22 consecutive regular-season games. They were one-point favorites vs. Philadelphia on November 3, 2013, a game they lost 49-20. The Raiders’ underdog streak is poised to extend to 23 games; the Bills are 6.5-point favorites at Oakland on Sunday.
Moreover, it’s likely the Raiders will go the entire 2014 season without being favored. They finish out the campaign at Denver (11-3) on December 28.
While the Raiders have been consistent underdogs, they haven’t been pushovers against the point spread. They are 7-7 against the number, per “The Linemakers” of Sporting News. That’s the same point spread record as Denver, which has been favored in 12-of-14 games entering Week 16.

I'll preface this by saying I know nothing about college football however from what I've read and heard of these two I reckon whoever ends up with those picks (Tampa & Titans almost certainties) would be better off trading down and trying to get a deal similar to what the Rams got from Washington for the RGIII pick. The fans, media and even owners and coaches probably get more excited with the "star" QB however 1) how often do the high picked QB'S not work out and 2) how much better off are you shoring up several positions at once especially those line positions.
I wanted the Jets to lose out including last week to get a higher pick but thought the above situation would be better in the long run rather than drafting another QB who in all likelihood will end up another Sanchez/Geno. Seems you're better off building strong lines with some good coverage in the secondary and trying to trade in a competent QB and good skill players rather than going all in to try and draft that elusive "franchise" QB with a top pick - especially if you're just setting them up to fail by giving them no protection and no weapons.
