    Hopefully BOB doesn't bench him for Hoyer and cause him to get pissed off and end up on the Ravens.....

    I don't know if this qualifies as taking a risk. He has been a backup to Manning for a few years, and played average for the Broncos last year. Risk would be going after Kappernick or RG III, or moving up to draft a qb. This is a pretty safe signing, cause there is low risk that he'll suck.

    I'll get over BOB's incompetence handling QB's when he does a good job of it. Hopefully he is better this time around.

    Broncos are going to draft Lynch and he's going to end up being better than Brock. :)

    Hopefully the Texans have found that adequate QB they desperately need. This will allow them to focus on other things this draft as well. Kind of excited.

    I think it's a pretty big risk.

    Likely huge money for a guy with 7 career starts and passing on 1st round QB.

    It's a risk.

    Let's say he flops and some team in the low 20s takes Paxton Lynch and he becomes a star. Texans will never live it down.

    Passing on what was likely the 3rd of 4th best QB in the draft in what is widely considered a weak QB draft. I am not going to say he is the answer but hes better than what our realistic options were for the draft.
