Then there's the PR factor but, you know, he's said he's sorry in a number of different ways and sat out his suspension. Folks like giving people a second chance if they seem to have learned from their mistake.

Besides, Chuck would say my harangues about lefthanded QBs are worse than this idea.
You were so reasonable in your response that I will concede the possibility that maybe a bunch of stuff just went wrong on all 211 carries in 2013 and he really was still good, and not a 3 ypc back (gracious of me I know). But I still say RB is a position overflowing with talent and because of that there is no reason to even bring him in for a tryout.

But either way I am excited that next week we will all be discussing actual Texans playing actual football on an actual field.
