    I know I'm in the minority, but I'm happy with it as a stop gap/mentor for our 1st or 2nd rd pick at QB.

    I guess what it came down to is that McNair would probably rather pay a lesser QB to be the stop-gap for a year than he would shelling out more cash for Schaub.

    Hopefully they have a deal for Schaub otherwise this makes no sense

    I've got a really bad feeling that the Texans are going to draft one of the fail QB's from this class as the first pick.

    Yes Sir when you have a player like Clowney you take that guy.

    Keenum and Fitzpatrick can compete and our mid round rookie qb can develop

    Yeah I get the feeling they may be willing to draft someone later and give them a yr or 2 to develop.

    Great signing if the guarantee is low. To all the (ridiculous) naysayers, who would you rather they sign?

    Warmly welcome Greg Robinson. Here we go ground and pound attack!

    JK. That would only happen if Kubiak was still the coach.
