    Then I wish them well, doesn't change that he brings literally nothing to the QB position.

    With the way we play offense you could be right. They might get him here and start downing his intelligence or something typical Houston shat.

    You gotta know a lot mentally to be a QB in Houston we've been hearing that for years. I guess what you do with your body doesn't matter as much as what you know mentally. I'm just speculating on what made up reasons will be applied in not acquiring Pryor and keeping all the qbs we have.

    Ah, gotcha, I just didn't understand what you were trying to say. I think Pryor's lack of passing accuracy would have as much to do with why the Texans would want nothing to do with him as any mental deficiencies.

    Even though none of our qbs are really that accurate... maybe Savage. I understand O'brien thinking it will take too long to get Pryor ready too that's a valid reason because he is not a Vet. The options are just sooooo limited now.

    I don't think we'd have been interested in Pryor even if he had been cut before camp started, he's just not an NFL QB prospect.

    Well compared to Pryor they are, of course that doesn't mean they are accurate as they should be.

    Instead, they'll cut him next year for nothing. :grin:

    Ugh, I don't want to bash all of your QB suggestions but Pryor and Vick? Are you just looking to get a black QB no matter what? Neither of those guys would start even if they were on the current roster....why don't we throw in Vince Young as a suggestion because seemingly he fits your only qualifier.

    Pryor isn't an NFL QB prospect because he lacks talent and Vick only had a couple years of being above average and they were a LONG time ago. When the Vick of today plays the only question is if he'll throw a pick before getting knocked out of the game to injury.

    I'd much rather take a flier on Tajh Boyd if I just really really wanted to ensure that I had a black QB on the roster.

    He would hang up after he finishes laughing historically.

    But they must need a corner back bad if they want to trade for J-Jo... He's busted at that price tag.

    All the Jets have is black qbs I know they are not giving us Geno Smith. There isn't that much available but I'm sure Bill O'brien will do what he feels is best for the team. Honestly if we were going to get a black qb we could have traded one pick up and drafted Bridgewater but... that didn't happen. If none of our qbs are going to throw accurately might as well get really athletic at that position.

    Nate Burleson, WR, Cleveland
    Vincent Brown, WR, San Diego
    Jerel Worthy, DL, New England

    Bolded we should call IMO.

    I'd say Winston for sentimental reasons, but Clabo can be no worse than him already.
