Personally I would rather see them get a Vet and draft Chris Leak or kevin Kolb.... But who knows what the HELL they may do.... We are talking about the Texans and Draft in the same sentence... Kinda like Russian and Roulette....
It's Kubiak's offense, so if he feels that BQ gives the team a good long-term QB solution, then I'm all for it. I just want to see an improvement.
I don't see them taking quinn, if anything its probably just a decoy to hide who they are truly after. I don't think they trade down. besides, if they did want quinn, why would they announce that and the trade with wash?
I love Notre Dame, and a pretty boy quarterback for the Texans to me is better than having a hideous beast there, but I still dont think we should trade up for him. So I am not part of that anti-ND movement.
So why get rid of Carr? Why try to get one in free agency? Why draft one? If the best QB in the league would be doomed to failure on the Texans why even bother trying to improve the position? Why bother trying to get Kolb in the 3rd round? If he's going to fail regarless, why do it? Let's never draft a QB again.
LOL, no kidding. Besides, I don't know how anyone can argue against the fact the situation is FAR better now than it was when they drafted Carr anyway. Yes, he was doomed from the start on an expansion team, with little to no talent, no QB coach and thrown out there from the start. I think any young QB, whether it be Quinn, Kolb or whoever, will stand a MUCH better chance of succeeding now under Kubiak's guidance, better talent and the fact he will have to wait to learn the system and NFL game before being annointed the starter.
Is Quinn even a better prospect than David Carr? Seriously, it doesn't look an upgrade at all. Now Quinn has some nice skills -> has a good touch on his deep passes, and throws a nice end zone fade. But if you're a perennial loser like the Texans, you need to get a career starter out of the #8 pick lick a LaRon Landry or Levi Brown. This team has so many holes, they'd be well advised to steer clear of a project QB.
BQ is probably the most polished QB in college considering he played under Weis. I wouldn't call him a project QB.
Since when is Quinn considered a "project QB"? Russell, who will go before BQ, is more of a project. Kolb is a project. Vince is still kind of a project as evidenced by his Vick-esque 51% completion percentage. No QB comes into the league as a finished product. Everyone need seasoning and development when they come into the NFL. Some are just more raw than others and I wouldn't put Quinn into the "RAW" category.
Quinn scares me. But if they took him, I'd find the silver linings. And he's not a project. He's a polished passer. I don't see him as a project at all.
The Texans wouldn't annouce it, it would be Washington. Now Washington can get a bidding war going between Houston, Minnesota, and anyone else that want's "Pretty Boy" Quinn.
The prospect of a Carr trade to the Raiders opens up the possibility of Jamarcus Russell falling to the Washington pick. If that's the case, then the Texans should jump all over it. I would necessarily mind picking up Quinn at the 8th pick.
Now on Sportscenter, Todd McShay is predicting Quinn will go #2 to the Lions. Not because he's done anything to improve his stock, but because the Lions have addressed their other needs.
