[Chron] The first question Gary Kubiak will hear today: Who will be the No. 1 Pick?

I agree--you don't. And, anyone who talks down to someone or whips out the "true fan" nonsense because of it is being just silly. I hope you didn't construe my earlier comments as talking that way--I was just sharing how I feel as opposed to how Max, you, and others feel.

 

Maybe the sarcasm was over-the-top for the more sensitive among us? Did you know that was tongue-in-cheek and just wanted to take an opportunity to be smug?

 

The talking heads on Cold Pizza today said they think Young will go to the Texans. Now, I don't much trust them (or any ESPN blabbermouth), but I certainly trust them more than I do you.

If McNair wants to make Texans fans of us all, he must heal the wounds of the past, even those that were not of his doing. As a quick BBS analogy, say you wanna get with the BBS's own Isabel. In order to win her heart, you have no choice but to heal her previous wounds and prove you're NOT like Ferdinand before she'll open herself to you (um, emotionally). Isabel = wounded fans. Ferdinand = Oilers (Bud). McNair = new boyfriend. It's really quite simple.

 

sarcasm.... look into it.

 

I'm not claiming to know anything more that you. I don't have any inside information. However, I did listen to the entire interview with Kubiak & Mcnair Thursday.

Maybe I have a gift to read between the lines, but I don't think it could have been any more clear.

Also just heard that Young decided to go to the Combine today.

 

Because they praised Carr? It's much easier to read things when you interpret it to go your way. Some of us have already said this and Mclain said it on 610: "What do you want him (Kubiak) to say?" "Well, uuhhh, Carr is a nice guy...but."

I'm not saying you're wrong or anything, but it seems like you are reading too much into what should be taken with a grain of salt. They aren't going to say anything bad about Carr during Kubiak's first day on the job, they probably won't say anything bad about Carr ever since there is really no point in doing so.

As Kubiak said in another interview, he and the scouting crew are going to evaluate everything. He has only watched Bush/VY as fans and has probably not even gotten the chance to watch the film on them. If you really think they've made the choice w/o even watching the film, you are either crazy or they are extremely stupid. As I posted earlier, Kubiak made a point to say the Carr and Draft decision are 2 entirely seperate things, what does that say in between the lines?

Where was your gift when you predicted Bush would run for 200+ yards and VY would throw 3 interceptions in the Rose Bowl?

 

Do you really think all they did was praise Carr? Do you think i'm the only one who read into that way? Why do you think Chance made the post he made after the interview? If you listened to that interview and still think that the Texans are going to drat a quarterback, then I don't know what to tell you. Seriously.

The "gift" comment was sarcasm, it doesn't take a gift to hear something so clearly. I was wrong about the Rose Bowl (I was also just trying to get under the skin of some fellow hornfans w/that prediction). But haven't been wrong on anything else. Plus, this isn't a prediciton, its a clear as day fact after listening to those guys during the interview. Do you realize that VY decided to go to the combine today? I doubt Bush goes. To me, that speaks volumes.

If you want to keep calling me out, and trolling behind and all my posts, put your money where your mouth is. I'll bet you $500 the Texans don't draft Vince Young, we can let a neutral clutch bbs member hold the money. If you don't take the bet, then all I ask is for you to quit trolling.

When the NBA season started this year, I predicted the Lakers would make the playoffs and Kobe would win MVP. So far so good.

 

Bloody hell... what in god's name is good about that??

 

....to get measured & weighed, & perhaps to participate in passing drills.

The fact that you omitted that speaks volumes.

I guess Regge B isn't getting measured and weighed because coming in at 5-10 185 isn't too good for a purported NFL running back.

 

Oh, Reggie will get measured. He'll just refuse to take off his shoes.

 

I'm not a betting man, so no, I will not take your bet. Weren't you the guy who said, "as long as someone is posting BS, I'll be there to refute it." So in essence, isn't that trolling? It just depends on what you think is BS. I personally think what you wrote is BS, so I'll be there to refute it. I also remember you writing "I'll continue to fight the fight" or whatever, isn't that what I'm doing.

As long as you re-write the same stuff over and over again, I'll be there to refute it, how is that any different from the stuff you've been doing?

I also made a prediction the Pistons would make the playoffs. I also predicted Texas would win the Rose Bowl. What's your point?

 

Reggietodd, seriously dude, gucci's got you here. Between now and the draft, Texans management will use enough smokescreen to cover the entire Earth in darkness. Same goes for every other team. It's just the nature of the NFL offseason. There's just no possible way the Texans will have a decision before the conclusion of the combines and individual workouts. This is THE biggest decision the franchise has faced in its short history, and unless they're complete dumbasses, they will not reach a consensus haphazardly or without all available information laid out before them (including workout stats, interviews, Wonderlic scores, and possible trade scenarios). To do otherwise would be sheer folly. McNair is an intelligent businessman; he knows what's at stake here.

 

This is the very definition of 'trolling'.

I doubt that...

It would actually be better IMO if Bush was smaller then 6'0. All of the quicker more elusive backs were. The only thing I think he might want to hide is his weight.

 

IMO, two inches ain't crap, but if I see someone who is 5'10" 185, my first thought is scat back.

Re. hiding his weight, this girl I knew was too light for the army. So, she put coins in her bra to give her more weight. Can you imagine Bush doing the same?


It's hard to predict Reggie's height. He's alot shorter than Matt and VY, but is it 5 inches or 7. I know most colleges lie about their player's heights though.

 

Usually it's by 2-3 inches. I think he's probably 5-9 or so.

 

I think people see more McNair (low end of VY potential), Culpepper (low end of VY's potential), McNabb (middle of VY potential), S. Young (high end), Staubach (high end), and Elway (max end, 1st or 2nd best QB ever) in VY than Vick. These QBs were scramblers, who could throw. Vick is a scrambler who hasn't learned to throw yet (with any touch or consistency). VY already shows accuracy, touch and can hit guys in stride. Arm strength and delivery I think is the main question at this point, but he is a passer.

UT homerism is a factor, as is UT haterism working against him. BTW lots of the posters for VY in this thread didn't go to UT at all--some to their rivals. Most posters just want what is bets for the Texans--and lot of them (like me) feel building with VY over Carr int he most critical position is the way to go.

Actually if Bush measures out at 5'10" 205 I'd like that a lot better than 6' 205. Strong and compact at sub 215lbs (Payton, Emmitt, Sanders) has a better track record for NFL durability than more slender sub 215lbs RBs.

If Bush is 6 foot I want to be assured he could carry 220 without loss of quickness or I'd be very considered about his lower body strength and durability.

My guess is he is 5'11", right about 200, maybe a tad over.

 

Shake your money maker'ers?


I'm happy with Young or Bush. Whomever they think is the best long-term pick.

 

Bush is 6'0 200

 

Awesome. Where in that thread do I make a prediction?
