Matt Schaub a Texan???

Consdering the Patriots got a 1st round pick for Deion Branch and the Dolphins got a 2nd round pick for Wes Welker, 2 2nd round picks for good QB is not much.

 

well hell, if that's the case. You can pay for me to go to some games and I'll listen to you complain the whole way through

 

I agree about the no whining part--but a 2nd round pick is a 2nd round pick no matter when it happens; let's not write off its value. The Texans will need a strong draft next year, too; I hope they are able to acquire a pick or two to replenish this one.

IMO the question of whether 2 2nd round picks is too much for Schaub, especially given that we may not get one 2nd round pick for our starting QB, is a valid question, whining aside. That said, I like the deal on its surface--especially given the hope that we acquire a pick or two for Carr.

David, I wish you the best buddy. May you get 300 yds and 2 TDs per game until you play the Texans, at which point, (nothing personal) I hope you get your ass kicked.

 

what a great point. i didn't even consider that.

 

He played quarterback for Virginia in college, has 2 career starts in the NFL, has the same # of career touchdowns (6) as interceptions, has a career passer rating of less than 70.

 

anyone who thinks we overpayed, please read this post. especially the bolded part.

 

that doesn't mean anything at this point in his career.

 

branch was a starter. also consider schaub was a third round pick. Its a wait and see deal for the texans right now. the price right now seems steep.

 

I agree, the 1st rounder is a wash...But two seconds...Well, we have a lot of holes to fill, so maybe this is the first part of the Texans plan...The second part would be to get some value for Carr, albeit, I don't think it'll be a first, but definitely a 2nd and a 3rd...Two 2nds would be great, but I don't think anyone is that dumb...

This also hurts as we won't be getting Kolb...I really think this guy will have a great future...

As for Matt, I know a lot of teams wanted him and I think this will be a good thing...I hope Gary, Rick et al are right...

 

Whoa, MM!!! Did you just say, "go Texans," in all caps with an exclamation point??

 

I'll see your DROY, and raise you Tony Hollings, Travis Johnson, Philip Buchanon, and Jason Babin.

 

your girl and brother should be b****ing on here then. you should just sit quietly in the corner wallowing in your apathy.

 

well said. And that's with Branch being in the b****y "trade me" mode...which usually decreases value.

As we've said, I think if people would stop thinking of Schaub as a "backup QB", people wouldn't be as upset. If we traded for the starting QB for the Falcons, I think a bunch of people would say "oh ok, not a bad price".


--random sidenote memory..."Sean Jones of the Houston Oilers" just appeared on a rerun of Home Improvement Yeah, I'm taking the day off semi-sick, heh

 

different coach/GM

and about your stats on Schaub...look at Brady's resume before taking over full time for Bledsoe

Not saying Schaub is Brady, but I am saying that college and limited experience can mean jack $hit

 

It doesn't matter Schaub was a third round pick. Branch is a number two receiver at best.

 

guess this means no Quinn or Peterson anyways, going to be another unexciting year for the Texans, what a load of bs in my opinion.

 

Considering your playing with players that were picked in the second round by people no longer employed by the Texans, I go all-in, Trolly.

 

We had no chance at Peterson and Quinn would of been the next Carr anyways..

 

I agree it is steep. But considering the situation the Texans were in- Garcia, Plummer, and Ramsey were all gone, and there were no other viable options- then it was probably the best they could do. Quinn would be the other option, but it probably would be unlikely that they could trade up for him if another team really wanted him.

 

If Quinn or Peterson is the only thing that would excite you, then you're already screwed
