Are we just going to ignore the fact that we still have no franchise QB?

LOL, fair enough, I see where you are coming from now, there's no need to continue this discussion.

 

No, I'm saying that his ceiling is mediocre, he hasn't reached that yet.

 

Don't bother. He'll continue to say Teddy is mediocre as he's getting inducted into the Hall of Fame.

 

You can't have a set plan. You just have to wait for the right opportunity and have the ability to recognize it when it comes along. You can't say "I'm going to draft a QB in Year X" because you don't know what the other factors (QBs available, draft position) will be.

 

First of all, it takes two to tango; Cousins was almost certainly not available and, frankly, thank goodness. He's trash.

But even then, I would have preferred Mallett - he's been in the system and BOB has previously worked with him; I think he's going to be a perfectly acceptable starter.

This type of "F it all; we need a QB at all costs" thinking is why bobby is on the warpath knocking down QBs throughout this forum. It's just not a smart approach at all. The Texans would be ABSOLUTE FOOLS to trade picks for any rookie QB not named Andrew Luck.

You're confusing agression with stupidity. Trading for Cousins or Mariotta would both fall into the "stupid" category.

 

Official proof that he's the new Vince Young, people suggesting he's a HOFer after his rookie season despite no evidence suggesting that would even be a possibility.

 

Unitas, Montana, Peyton, Brady, and Bridgewater.

 

****, here we go with the Bridgewater crap again...

We just had a thread about Vince Young, we'll be dealing with Bridgewater people a decade from now when he's out of the league.

 

Not every back-up is Matt Schaub. Cousins has looked terrible when he's had a chance to play, and Washington was not going to deal him with RG3 coming off of a serious injury.

BOB is in charge of personnel; prior, it was Kubiak. Smith's role is rounding up players who meet the coaches' preferences.

Let me stop you.. draft "worthiness" isn't really relevant. Is he capable of translating his game to the NFL - that's the one and only concern. And Mariotta, talented as he very obviously was in college, is a giant question mark in that regard; a very possible grade-A system QB.

You don't deal picks for anything less than a for-sure thing.

You obviously have to have a good QB to win consistently. But you can't ignore your other holes by throwing everything up against the wall trying to find one. Mallett gets a year while they continue to build a great team elsewhere.

 

F that... Threads always get off topic. Lol..

Bridgewater wasn't the only quarterback in that draft and Carr looked darn good for a rookie last season on a worst team and coaching staff than what Bridgewater had.... And the Texans wouldn't have had to trade up to get him. Why are you 'just' bringing up Bridgewater and not Carr...?

 

That escalated quickly.

 

With that said... Practically all of the rookie quarterbacks that played last year showed potential of being good serviceable quarterbacks except for Johnny

And Savage looked a lot better with the little regular season time he got compared to what he looked like during his pre-season playing time. I think we should wait to see what that kid does before we start crying about the quarterbacks we didn't draft.

 

I'm impressed, I never expect you to be the voice of reason around here but that's a super solid comment.

 

Best hope is landing a flaco type QB. :/
