Schaubs not coming back. 10mil guaranteed if hes on the team and 1 million every game he starts. rofl . see ya matty
Thank Goodness you dont work for the Texans front office. Bortles over Bridgewater and Manziel???? GTFO dude
I think what he means is to draft Clowney at #1 overall. Then Bortles would drop to the end of the first round (he's just guessing at this point) and we could trade our first pick in the 2nd round and a 4th round pick to trade back into the 1st round and select Bortles. On that note. If you look at the top 8 picks, there is a great need for QB. After that there are very few teams that need a QB, really only the Browns 2nd 1st round pick and Arizona come to mind. So, if a QB that is projected to be in the top 5 (Manziel, Bridge, Bortles, Carr) ends up dropping, they could drop for a while. Some team, even with a need a QB will go a different direction and a QB would sink like a rock, as seems to happen every year or every other year, especially with QBs.
My head says Bridgewater My heart says Manziel For me football is entertainment, the zen view that it is the ride more than the results since, ultimately, 31 0f the 32 teams will end the year in disappointment anyway. Bridgewater would probably give the better chance to win more games overall, but not necessarily a greater chance to win a Super Bowl. Johnny can certainly catch lightning in a bottle and get there. And the entertainment value for the other 364 days a year would be off the charts over Teddy.
This is more like it. The Texans can cut Schaub in March, designate him as a June 1 cap casualty and he’ll cost 3.5 million but save them 7 mil. <- I got this straight from John McClain himself. I'm not asking him opinions, just facts. :grin:
so most people on here (56% at the moment) would pick another option aside from drafting Bridgewater there sure are some loudmouths in the other threads who seem to think Bridgewater is the only choice. good perspective
I would contact your physician as this sounds like an issue that you should have checked out by a professional.
IIRC, Schaub is owed 10.5 mil no matter what. The difference is that we can take the entire hit this year or spread it out a little. So maybe we can get it to where he'll only count 3.5 this year, but then he'd count 7 next year. Whereas if we cut him sooner, he'd count 10.5 this year but then we'd be done with it and future caps wouldn't be affected. Which is preferrable?
This is exactly how I feel. For me, ideal scenario would be to trade down a few spots, pick up an extra high draft pick, and grab Johnny Football.
Texans open to trading number one pick HOUSTON -- Houston Texans owner Bob McNair is open to trading out of the No. 1 overall selection in this year's NFL draft. "Maybe we'll trade down and still get a quarterback that can do the job and get an outstanding defensive player," McNair said Friday. "It's an exciting time. Everything's a moving target. Lot of different pieces." ... "I don't think you take a particular position just because you need a particular position at any point in the draft, especially the first pick," Texans general manager Rick Smith said. "So we'll rank it, we'll value it and we'll make good choices if the opportunity presents itself to move back because it is a very valuable pick, and we'll entertain those as well." This is the third time the Texans have had the No. 1 overall pick, and each time it has coincided with a new head coach. With their first No. 1 overall pick, the expansion Texans selected quarterback David Carr in 2002. With their second in 2006, the Texans took pass rusher Mario Williams. "The defensive player worked out better than the offensive player," McNair said with a chuckle. "That won't lock us into anything."
He didn't tell us anything we didn't already really know....but he did acknowledge one thing we all already knew, that HE KNOWS we need a QB too!
