Yes. This is a quarteback league. If you don't have a franchise QB than you better be looking for one!
It is going to depend on a lot of things. Keenum's play for one, draft position, and whose there when we draft. I definitely don't believe in just drafting a QB to draft one.
Look where drafting a qb just to draft one got the Jaguars and Titans from a few years ago. Really, the Vikings too with Ponder. I don't think any of the guys this year are future stars. You need a ton of help all over the place. They are probably going to cut Joseph and Manning, so they need a couple of corners and a safety for sure. They need an offensive tackle. They gotta have someone that can rush the qb. I think if Clowney is there when you pick, you have to get him.
Nah, the Texans have to worry about beefing up the oline, getting some inside linebacker help, and a nose tackle before QB.
Give Keenum a chance. You have to draft a defensive player who will beat one on one matchups routinely. Barr Clowney Nix Build this D line. Resign Antonio. In order though 1)Clowney 2)Mathews 3)Barr Has to be top 3 on Texans draft board.
Keenum is looking pretty good. Give him someone with a pulse on the right side and he'd be doing better in the second half.
If we had Peyton Manning with this o-line he'd be on IR by now. Fix the o-line and d-line. It all starts in the trenches. Once that is taking care of, draft your franchise QB.
As of right now, I'll say yes. Keenum is better than Schaub, but I don't think he's the one to lead us to the promised land.
Keenum can lead a team to a Superbowl.. but he won't be the reason why we're there. Good quarterback, not great. I'm fine with keeping him for now -- I would rather focus on OL, DL, and LB positions.
With Schaub or Yates playing, the last 3 games would have looked like the San Fran or St. Louis game all over again. Keenum absolutely kept us in them, especially KC and Arizona (along with JJ Watt). Unless we have a top 5 pick and there is a can't miss, Andrew Luck type prospect, I'd wait until the 2nd or 3rd round for QB. I don't want to reach and end up with a Jake Locker or Blaine Gabbert.
I know that this QB draft class is deep, but honestly I'm not that high on ANY of them. (Well, JFF is otherworldly and an incredible talent, but I'm wary about his durability in the NFL.) I think the ceiling for all of them is "good but not great". I don't see any future elite QBs in this draft class. I like FSU's Jameis Winston far more than any of these other QBs, but he's not draft eligible in 2014. Unless Keenum totally craps the bed in the second half, I think we should go O-Line in the first round.
If the texans are drafting a QB in the draft, it better be the 1st QB taken off the board. I do not want to settle for a 2nd or 3rd round QB. I dont care if this draft is considered to be a deep QB draft. We are in the business of finding us a franchise QB, not just a good QB that "fits our system". Chances are only 1 maybe 2 QB's will be elite, the rest will be average or busts. If our guy is already taken then fill another need. We have too many holes on our team.
I have seen him play he is nothing more then a backup. He is a bust if you really think he is the future. LSU qb have all been bust in the nfl for what I have seen Matt Flynn, Jamarcus Russel and then you have the ones that don't even make it Jordan Jefferson. Now if you draft Mettenberger and think he going to be a elite qb this team is going to go back to what it was before.
Are you kidding? There's FOUR elite qbs in the league right now. This is a great qb class but even then, we'd be lucky for any of them to be playing as well as case is right now. And even then, the only qb that is pretty much guaranteed to be a star (not elite but a star) is Jameis Winston who isn't eligible yet. There are some very good qbs but I say we wait until case starts playing badly enough to lose his job. There are other areas that should he way bigger priorities right now.
Half a season, under a lame duck head coach, is not long enough to evaluate Keenum. A QB must be taken in the draft.
Extrapolated over 16 games, Keenum's stats lead to 38 TD's; 0 INT's and a 105 Quarterback Rating. What you've seen so far indicates you found your quarterback. But I need a bigger sample size...and we're gonna get one...so the Texans shoul have a pretty big sample size to consider before they have to make their first pick in the 2014 draft.
