They didn't trade up because they didn't want Bridgewater.

O'Brien didn't want a ****ty QB, bro. He wants a good one. There isn't one.

 

This team is a joke and hasn't learned their lessons regarding finding a franchise QB. They will enjoy having a top 5 pick next year.

 

It was $60K - SP errantly tweeted out a copy of the ticket on it to Nick on his bet, and the next day were giving him a hard time over dropping that much on a bet.

 

Great news since the Top 5 QBs next year are all better than the Top 3 this year!

 

aaaand he's back. btw, how's that franchise QB Vince Young doing for the Titans?

 

its was 60K, split between nick wright and sean p. and ted johnson bought in 10% of the bet lol

 

Man, I know it's bad to root for your team to lose, but a top 5 pick next year would be outstanding. Of course it would mean that we've wasted Andre's career basically, but oh well I guess.

 

Yeah that was said last year same ole BS.

 

Who said that last year? Everyone knew this was one of the wort QB classes in draft history. That's why there was never a QB proclaimed to be a number one pick.

 

I guess they were all sweating it :grin:

 

Read my mind...

 

On the contrary, they're trying not to repeat the mistakes of other NFL franchises.... like the one that spent the 3rd pick on Vince Young, and the 8th pick on Jake Locker.

If they felt there was a true franchise QB in this draft, they would have likely taken one. I don't see a lot of evidence to say that they missed out... not with everybody saying that Bortles was taken too early, and that they're not surprised Manziel and TB slipped as far as they did (as when you really break both players down, there are some serious flaws and risks).

When there are true franchise QB's on the board... there's not this much controversy as to "when" they're picked.

 

I know I'm probably in the minority but I would trade him. Get a pick and restart the franchise .

 

No, I believe this time last year, this was supposed to be a very strong and deep QB class. Maybe mariotta has a down year, Winston contiues to be a dumbass and hundley has tiny hands. Some random QB from Eastern Washington State may come into the fold or something. You never know.

 

What makes you think O'Brien wanted Teddy...??? I believe he definitely wanted Blake and I think he wanted Rick to trade back and get him.

Just the same there is no rule that if you draft a quarterback in the 1st 3 rounds that he has to start his 1st year.

 

Pretty much agree which is why I have been laughing at everyone overreacting on "missing" out on Bridgewater.

If B'OB wanted Manziel or Bridgewater the team would of traded up. Once you pick a QB you pretty much tied to him for the next 3-4 years and if he bust the franchise gets set back. Just look at all the previous teams in the past drafts that have reached for a QB.

Once B'OB identifies a QB he believes he can win with and pretty much tie his tenure with as a first time head coach in the NFL then that's who we'll get. And if that means we don't get one till next year I'm fine with that.

 

At the end of the day, Vegas knows best. When trying to decide where players are falling, check what Vegas has.

 

I just don't see the Texans being bad enough to get a Top 10 pick next year.
I think at 8-8 they will still be in the teens

So . . that leaves us where?

If they don't get a QB or trade for one .. .they need to invest in the Trenches
Solidify this d*mn line immediately

Get the fat guy to clog the middle for Watt and Clowney

If QB is your question mark . .. make it the only one

Rocket River

 

Think about this though, people are crying about not taking a QB at 22 or 32 right now, why would the Texans have to be in the top 10?

 

Teddy 16-20 and 2 TDs. Led a game winning scoring drive on the same Arizona defense that neither Fitz or Keenum could do anything against.

Wow imagine Clowney + Bridgewater on the same team.
