I dont know what the hell we will do about a #2 wideout but Im all for the Brady Quinn pick since AP will be gone. This guy could be a franchise type qb in a few years and his football IQ is light years ahead of Carr.
Im fine with getting Quinn. He is nearly 6'5" and is a strong kid. He will be able to avoid would-be sacks with his size and quickness. Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, VY, Big Ben, and Im sure Im missing others are all tall QB's. Its time for us to make a drastic move and this MIGHT be the right one.
i have a question. If Quinn is rated a first rounder(top 10) and he is overrated then would his real value be a 2nd or 3rd round QB like Kolb? Honestly i think Kolb is overated because he played in the same system for 7 years and dominated the C-USa.
May I suggest to you that you get a memory upgrade?!? Your assertion that BQ will not be better than DC IMO indelibly inducts you on first ballot into the "Moron Hall of Shame." Notre Dame's competition vs Fresno State's. Hmmm ... just a BIT of a difference, ya think? Granted, I'm not completely sold on golden boy because that game with LSU in the Sugar Bowl was absolutely brutal. But, he would DEFINITELY be an upgrade from DC. Hell, Donald Duck or Goofy would be an upgrade. Agreed. Many more holes to fill. Landry with his ridiculous combine numbers now looks REAL good at #8. Would definitely solidify our DB situation. Faggins maybe could be moved to nickel and then we could get that guy, McCauley from Cal at CB next round. Problem is he may look good to Washington as well at #6.
Missed that boat already. Had your chance. Quinn, imo is Carr with a lesser arm. The anti-VY sentiment on this board is incredible. Why the hate?
Same reason I hate any basketball team that's not the Rockets. Plus people on this board would rather have the Titans win than the Texans. They need their teeh kicked in.
I think most VY fans would have rather the Texans selected VY than the Titans win. I don't think there is anything wrong with Mario outside of him getting banged up and was happy they selected him over Bush. The VY hate on this board is much greater than the Peyton Manning hate or Tom Brady hate when he poses much less of a threat currently to the Texans success.
The VY hate here is mostly directed to the fanboys. They are obsessed. If you do a search you will see posts where people are happy that the Titans beat the Texans etc just because of VY. It's stupid and it should not be tolerated.
It's not really about VY, but some of his fans. When you have people who continually trash the Texans and root for the Titans of all teams, that's understandably going to annoy some people. I would love to have VY a Texan. That doesn't make those who trolled in this forum during the season any less annoying.
Im just pissed that we are talking about picking Quinn when we had VY in our hands last year. Dammit. I was all for drafting Mario last year, but if we are turning around this year and going with a QB in the first, that just makes me sick.
I would rather wait on a QB free agent and try to get a Peterson etc in the draft. But I am worried that the Texans are just trying to appease the Carr haters. You can thank them.
people can prefer and talk about the past all they want...with VY we would..yada yada yada... but if your Texans fan, you know with the free agents that we are signing plus the draft we can really upgrade our team and our D, with a healthy Mario and Ryans, is going to be sick.....
We need to get a safety in this draft...whether its Landry, Nelson, or Merriweather. I prefer Landry with our 1st...but if thats not gonna happen, we need to hope Merriweather drops to us in the 2nd (Nelson will be gone). Another thing we could do is trade down and draft Nelson later in the 1st round...and pick up an additional first day pick in the process. Nelson + 3rd rounder > Landry
The Texans should go through their normal evaluation process and not be afraid to go after Quinn if they think he has what it takes. The Texans would be worse off if they were gun shy in drafting a quarterback like Quinn just because he may remind some fans of David Carr, or because they passed on Vince Young last year. The Texans have so many needs that I would have no problem with them drafting Landry, or Levi Brown, or one of the defensive linemen if they were available. I also wouldn't flip out if they drafted Quinn. If they think he is a franchise quarterback, I wouldn't have a problem with them moving up to get him, either.
I don't have a problem drafting Quinn if they really think he is that good and they truly think he is the best pick. I just don't want them taking chances to pander to the Carr haters.
Agreed. Except the part about trading up to get Quinn The Texans need to do what they think is going to make the team better regardless of what bitter ut fans or sports talk radio callers think they should do or should have done last year.
As mentioned,Quinn is polished,can read coverages,and make snap decisions....Without a doubt a leader. Brady will be making many trips to Hawaii.So,part of me would love this pick. Think about it,last year we pick up Mario who should be healthy now and spearheading a fearsome defense in the near future. And this year we pick up a guy that has consistently been rated as one of the top QB's for his whole career....and he's played against the best comp. On the flip side,not taking Quinn and trading down is attractive. Picking up a CB,OL,and DL in the first couple of rounds would really benefit the cause. Bottom line on a QB,unless we have a decent O line,it doesn't matter. Now I'm not convinced that Carr couldn't do the job behind a good line,but it's time to cut the chord.Quinn is light years ahead of Carr coming out and will prove it over the course of his career. The thing is I'm not sure I wouldn't rather trade for Matt Schaub and use the picks to strengthen the rest of our team.
