You got me...I was engaging in hyperbole there (How's my hyperbole RM95?). But have you actually looked at some of the stuff coming from the VYOF or the VYIG factions? There is a distinct undercurrent of fear there that's unmistakable. Well, looking at their current QB situation, I'd have to say that they are off to a most inauspicious start but as I posted above, the game is Survivor and if they don't (or can't) get the job done then you can bet they'll both find themselves "voted off the island"... Answer: Zero but that's not why Earl is so fondly remembered. Earl brought style and identity to a long suffering franchise that had been a distant number 2 (to the Cowboys) as well as a running punchline in this state for years and years. His hardnosed play at long last gave Houston football fans a reason to have pride in their hometown team. More than anything, he brought the hope that a championship was achievable for a team where once upon a time, the mere thought of such would have elicited waves of laughter. So, I can certainly understand the emotionalism surrounding the perceived snub of VY hence, I have no problem with folks being angry and hurt.
Actually, a lot of this VYIG stuff reminds me of the "King James" hype that accompanied LeBron James when he came into the league. I'm sure that like LeBron has found in basketball, the "chosen one" will find the road to football immortality to possess more than a few potholes along the way. You'll know that things are completely out of control when Bernie Mac shows up on TV quoting scripture about young Vince.
consensus seems to be that a quality QB can be gotten easier via free agency or a second day draft pick.. rather than blowing another top pick on a QB and praying for him to be jesus reincarnate. if we have the talent, the QB will emerge..
Trading draft picks for an unsure Quinn would not be good. Texans have been trading picks forever and it helped ruin this team. It needs to stop and with Kubiak it already has. We need more picks, not less. We need to take the best players available. If that means another year of Carr/Sage, then ok. The Texans will not draft BQ.
wow, that time change must have screwed something up. A topic about the Texans that I agree with Meowgi on.
I definitely don't want Trent Green. He benefitted from playing behind an out of control OL and a great running game.
There are no real good QB options available this offseason. There are alot of ??? with all the rookies, there are no quality vets available. Just start Sage, draft a rookie backup, and focus on the other needs. We will have a better chance at a good QB next season. Unless we get lucky with Sage or a rookie. Don't reach for Brady Quinn. Draft a QB no higher than 3rd round. Must fill big gaps at other positions. OT, WR, DL, S, CB, LB
I'd think plenty. Most teams with top draft picks have awful teams. Awful teams often have awful lines. I can't imagine when Cinci had the #1 pick and when Indy had the #1 pick, etc they had these great O-Lines in place. Tennessee and Arizona last year certainly didn't.
exactly, the o-line offense excuse is getting as played as the should've drafted vince talk. you would swear that no successful qb ever had to start their career behind a weak line. the line wasn't that bad last season and it wasn't that bad the third year. in 05 their was regression but obviously with a 2-14 team their was regression with the entire team.
