    I prefer "penultimate failure."

    So I can tell you Vince Young is another Ryan Leaf or Tim Couch right?? It make just as much sense. If Bush gets 1,200yds next season you will still have something negative to say about him.

    If we trade him that means we pick up his option first and then trade him which means choice #1 and choice #3 are essentially the same. We take a cap hit either way regardless of what we do with him after picking up his option.

    As for choice #2, its a non-issue because if we decline his option then he's a free agent and we dont really have to deal with him anymore. It's either a choice between picking up his option or declining it and letting him go.

    No way is Miami dumb enough to do this. Ricky was tearing it up during the 2nd half of last season. Meanwhile, David Carr was looking like a complete fool on a 2-14 team. I'd be surprised it that bum fetches anything better than a 4th rounder.

    You have Carr and Ricky Williams in the same sentence and your calling Carr the bum?

    No way I trade Carr for a guy who quit football to smoke pot. This is ridiculous.

    The next time I hear someone call into ESPN 790 or sportsradio 610 and pose [what they deem to be a personal epiphany] the idea of trading Carr and Davis for the #2 pick, I'm going to jump off my roof.

    I'm not sure alot of teams would give more than a third for Carr, much less TPS.

    I disagree. Quaterback is a sellers market. Carr would be an upgrade on many NFL teams (Bills, Lions, Jags). Also, there's that perception around the league that it's the Texans O-line that is hidering his development. I think you can find a team desperate for a QB and arrogant enough 2 think they can make him better that they're willing to part with a late 1st rounder.

    ...and Saban is arrogant.

    Because I am smarter than them....

    ;)

    Gale Sayers was a fast player in a slow man's game......everyone is fast now.

    Vince Young has the potential to revolutionize the game moreso than Reggie Bush.

    And if I am not mistaken Gale Sayers did not play very long.....

    You could, if you believed that, the difference is that Vince did it at the HIGHEST level against the HIGHEST competition.

    Look I could be wrong...but I'm not.

    I have to disagree. He is very confident, but does not go out of his way to show his superior coaching skills ala Mike Martz

    I would love this trade, but I cannot see it happening. I happen to think Carr could do a good job in the right system and with the right people around him. I think you will be amazed at how much better Carr will get once the Texans draft Bush and shore up the O-Line. Put Kubiak in as Head Coach and you have yourself a strong foundation to build from.
