First one here 😂

The craziest thing to consider is that the Texans were so good this year, and they have a ton of cap space and decent draft picks to spend this year to further bolster their roster while already having a franchise QB, 2 good receivers, a good TE, a franchise tackle, a great pass rusher and D-line, and a good CB. They might be the scariest team in the league next season if they make the right acquisitions.

Bro this rebuild started in 2021. Nick did an excellent job when a lot of people wanted him gone. He got Collins in 21, Stingley, Green, Pierce and Harris in 22, and got Stroud, Anderaon, Tank, Henry T, Scruggs, and Patterson in 23. Out of all those players maybe Green and Pierce wont be here for long but overall hes done a phenomenal job. Especially in the later rounds

Really need to mention GM Nick Caserio when talking about this rebuild. He came in and helped clean the mess BOB left behind. He has managed the cap and helped orchestrate the trade of DW4 and WAJ. He deserves credit as well.

By finding a leader of men in Ryan, a Dog in Will Anderson, and presumably some kind of mutant in CJ Stroud.

Yeah. Nailing your qb really helps. But nailing your edge rusher as well in the same draft. That's the 3rd most important role, I think. It was so aggressive to trade up like that, and boy, did it pay off.

I’m just happy to hear people finally talking positively about my team after the last 3 years of disaster.

If the Chiefs win the Superbowl, I really hope the NFL has the Texans play them in the 2024 season opener at Arrowhead! This season, the Lions got the opening game against the defending champions, and it seemed to work out. Houston is already scheduled to play in Kansas City next season. I can't think of a better way to start the season than by showcasing the next big thing!!!

The Texans are basically the Lions after 2022. Room to make moves. Good picks remaining and an already good team. They will be tough next year. I'll still never understand why CJ wasn't talked about as much. As a Michigan fan, I watched that dude ball out for 2 years straight in every game he played.

You didn't give Nico Collins nearly enough credit! He had a Fire season!! 🔥🔥🔥

4:16 Correction no lead is safe with Bill O'Brien and Doc Rivers

You need to tell us that that was a 4th & 20 when he threw that TD pass to Jordan Akins.

The amount of crap the Texans got for trading their 1st round draft pick to get will Anderson was insane, in hindsight now it looks like a 1000 IQ move by them, they essentially got a potentially generational talent for a draft pick in the late 20s……. It’s unbelievable, truly unbelievable

Nico Collins was a great help and won me my Fantasy League. Thank you Nico & CJ.

7:00 “Texans traded up from 3 to 12”

Good video, I'm a huge Texans fan and your content is pretty accurate! The only thing I would say (as someone who had the misfortune of watching every game from 2020-2022), our rebuild wasn't just a 1 year rebuild. I'd say that Caserio in 2021 started it then, but our turnaround was absolutely a 1 year thing.

It wasn't one year. It took four. We were drafting guys during that period who are now making a difference with better coaching. A superstar QB was a nice addition this year, though.

I’ve been searching my team up and I happen to find out minutes ago that this was uploaded out of sheer coincidence.

The future shines bright for Houston Texans you will see

Jaguars fan here: y'all are what we wish we were

I high key think the texans should go after saquad

If we keep drafting like we did this season, it’s only gonna take 2 or 3 seasons for us to be in the Super Bowl

This is the first time I can say next year and be hopeful

This is what happens when u get a franchise QB with a great coach. All successful teams have that combo. Trans that struggle more than likely their missing one of the two or both.

Hold on he was picked number 69!!! And his name is Tank Dell!!!! Damn!!! That's a steal

I hope my Texans win the superbowl soon

The crazy part is it's been a 3 year rebuild, but yall make it 1 year, lmao

It was really 2 years. As a Texan fan it did not start until culley was named head coach and we got our picks from the browns. Nice try though

I’m a Texans fan and I will tell you straight up this wasn’t a one year rebuild this was a three year long process that the team stayed committed to… they caught a lot of flack for firing Culley and Lovie Smith after one year each but they knew when they hired those guys that we were going to be tanking for a few years and payed them to eat losses. The team had to be completely torn down and built up again and that started the day Deshaun asked for a trade.

I'd love to have 5 minutes with Bill and a baseball bat in a locked room. That guy destroyed my Texans team!!!

CJ Stroud should be receiving the praise and recognition that someone like Andrew received. After all a quarterback like Lick (white QB) would be getting praise and respect and recognition on the level of nearly being over hyped

the fact demeco ryans didnt win coach of the year is absolutely insane

As urinating tree said: stroud is the qb coaches can only DREAM of!

I would argue it started in 2019 when they hired their GM, all their draft picks and moves lead up to this year. They were a solid team that couldn’t close out games but this draft put the finish touches on the roster

Step 1 get a superstar QB, Step 2 win.

Cleveland browns getting destroyed by karma never gets old

Nah what the packers did this year is the true definition of going from rebuild to contender. They weren’t even supposed to have a winning season, let alone win a playoff game. Houston has been rebuilding for 2-3 years. CJ Stroud being good is what is finally bringing their vision together. It’s awesome to see them doing so well. Even rebuilding in 2 years is a big deal

I was just okay with having more wins than last year but playoffs proud Texans

Tank dell! Cmown!

Draft O Line , Defense and draft or free agent pass catching RB.

Have to mention Nick Caserio and Bobby Slowik also

I thought Anderson had a FG block in the first game of the season?

Tootoo played a lot too he’s good against run

Hittin on Stroud, Anderson, Tank Dell was huge. Hiring Demeco is a ✅️ Getting Singley and Collins in '21 & '22 paid off. Caserio is proving to the right hire. But let's be real. THE MOST IMPORTANT move during the past 3 years was FINALLY FIRING JACK ESTERBY!!! That rotten bastard ruined this franchise!

Bro we need your input on the commanders news!

Houston never settled for Stroud... They always wanted him as their QB... If Stroud would've been taken first overall, they would've drafted Anderson at #2 and kept tradingdown until comfortable to pick Levis late in round one...

Contenders are teams in the championship game. Id call teams that made divisional playoff teams. Teams that made the wildcard are just that. Theyre wildcards

Texans traded up from 12 to 3. You mixed the numbers up.

Yo

We need another pats video

As a Bears fan... I digged my own grave.

It didn't take just "one year", guys like Nico, Greenard, Stingley, Pitre, Harrris etc who were all critical to the Texans success were all drafted during the down years. Stroud got those guys over the hump but acting like all you need is one superstar QB is the mistake the Panthers made

That hail mary against the colts saved there future

And the Bears fan base is split on whether or not to pick a quarterback or trade the top pick to “build around Fields”. Would the Texans have had this turnaround if they traded the second pick to build around Davis Mills. It’s almost like a good quarterback miraculously makes the receivers get open and catch passes by waving a magic wand. Almost.

You said "They traded from 3 to 12." Thats the other way around.

Lol. They drafted the best rookie qb in 25 years. That's how.

If they stay healthy they can easily win 13 games next season.

missed the fact he tore his acl playing in the texans stadium then he sued the organization after retiring... Crazy story

Just for accuracy's sake, the Texans drafted CJ two, then traded into 3 to get Wil.

Hit on a Qb and play in a bad division, simple as that.

and now they have diggs😭 wth

No love for Bobby Slowick?

Texans didn't have to settle for anybody... If they wanted Bryce they would have him

A big part of this is finding a sucker gm that was willing to make the worst trade in nfl history

Demeco Ryan’s is more responsible for our success than nick caserio is

It was less then a year

What's up with delayed uploads 😢

They drafted CJ at 2, not Will

former lsu qb joe burrow*

I think if we had hopkins we beat the ravens

One year? Brothis tihis has been a rebuild since O'Brien destroyed the AFC South Championship squad.

No! No! No! They traded from 12 to 3

lol didn’t you made fun of them? After movie smith screw Texans with last game and got 2nd pick? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

It was a lucky draft. CJ should have went to the Panthers. The 49ers have had the best team builds 3 SBs in 10 years with 3 different QBs.

What's funny is the texans won't nearly be as good next year. If Anthony Richardson stays healthy colts win the division. If the jaguras don't choke an 8-3 start LOL they will win the division next year. Titans the weakest link but the texans will ensure that the division will surely be competitive and entertaining no doubt about it!

I do think it's worth mentioning that going into the season, AFC South had a lot of threats that ended up looking like puppies this season. The Colts should have had it (coming from a Jaguars fan btw), but their quarterback was injured early. And then it should have been the Jaguars, but Trevor Lawrence got injured and then forgot how to play football. And the Titans, who were better than their record would suggest, just didn't live up to their potential probably because of bad management and not a lack of talent. And with good picks and a solid offseason, there's a good chance the Texans go from 1st in the division to 3rd or 4th. That Browns postseason win was certainly unforgettable, but I think a lot of people didn't actually watch it closely. There were so many missed calls that favored the Texans, and even when the Browns were able to clean up their own play, the Texans had already run away with it. The game would have been a lot closer with better refing imo. I still think the Browns played bad, but you could see the morale shift during the first half. The Browns were also obviously riddled with injuries and are a serious contender next year as well (their only chance at the Super Bowl before getting screwed by the Watson trade). Even if the Texans stay strong next year, they're in AFC and competing with all of AFC South, all of AFC North, the Chiefs, the Bills, the Dolphins, the Chargers, and even the Jets with Aaron Rodgers (maybe). They'll have a hard time making the playoffs again, same thing I fear for the Jaguars, and if they do, with the fourth seed, they're probably playing one of the Bills, Dolphins, Browns again, Bengals, Ravens, or maybe even the Chargers with better coaching. Or the Colts or Jaguars or Titans, tbh. If the Jaguars were in NFC South rn, they'd have made a conference game already. Same thing with the Texans probably. But all of the talent is waiting to slaughter them in the playoffs. And if the Chargers manage a miracle run, the Texans will be against the Chiefs, and against the refs, in the wild card round. Overall, next year, I'd expect the top 4 seeds to be the Chiefs, Browns, Bills, and Colts, not in that order, with the wild card consisting of the Ravens, Bengals, and maybe the Dolphins or any of the 3 in AFC South. The Browns and Bills are both gonna be playing harder than they've done before because these might be the last years they have with a lot of these players, and I think the Chiefs will too, before losing Travis Kelce and a bit of ref favor. There's a good chance that the Texans don't even make the playoffs next season, and will have to wait another year for a run. NFC is so bad though lol. Only two good teams vs the 12+ in AFC lmao. Baker Mayfield has a chance at a Super Bowl berth in NFC.

Big difference between a playoff viable team and contender lmao

Why do all the youtubers who make nfl content have the same voice

The texans have never been good. They've be in a rebuild since their creation. The texans had a cupcake schedule this year. 😂😂

Nick was going to pick CJ whether they had the 1st pick or not
