I'd rather see the Texans trade two 3rd round picks for Mallet than use their 2nd. The top pick in the 2nd is such a powerful pick they could likely use it in a trade back to get one of the 3rd's they lose.
I'd do it. He had a draft grade of 7.4 and his biggest issue coming out of school was "character issues" which have not been a problem.
I wasn't talking about the media hype. Bridgewater, like Jon Major last year, is being hyped by Texans fans. He's a decent prospect, but if you ask certain Texans fans, he's the next coming of Joe Montana or Aaron Rodgers. I wouldn't even argue if they said that he's the best QB in the draft, but he has nowhere near that kind of potential.
What the hell are some of you guys smoking? A 2nd or 3rd rounder for him? That is a terrible trade for a guy who has done absolutely nothing in an nfl game...well besides suck.
He's probably a better bet than any QB in the draft this year, but I can't see spending more than this year's 3rd and next year's 3rd.
There is literally no way to determine this especially when those qbs at the time they were drafted weren't perceived to be anything special
Okay, so if I start saying that Jimmy G or Brett Smith is the next coming of Peyton Manning, you aren't going to argue that? I mean there is "literally no way to determine that" right?
Actually, I forgot he only has one year left on his contract, no way I give them even one 3rd rounder for him.
Who knows, they just may be. You don't know how they could develop in the NFL. Looks at the traits of the greats and compare and contrast to what you see now
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...-ryan-mallett-appears-minimal-to-nonexistent/ The talk that the Texans are interested in trading with the Patriots to acquire quarterback Ryan Mallett appears to be just talk. In fact, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reports that there’s not even any reason to talk about it. McClain reports that the Texans “won’t be trading for Ryan Mallett,” period. It sounds good in theory: New Texans head coach Bill O’Brien was the Patriots’ offensive coordinator for Mallett’s rookie season, so O’Brien knows what kind of player Mallett is, and Mallett knows what kind of offense O’Brien runs. That’s the case for the Texans making the trade. The case against it is that Mallett has completed a grand total of one pass in an NFL regular-season game. If the Texans are going to make a quarterback with no experience their starter, it’s going to be a rookie they’re drafting as their long-term answer. Not a third-year backup who only has one year left on his rookie contract. The most likely path for Mallett is spending one more year as Tom Brady’s backup and then hitting free agency a year from now. The most likely path for the Texans is acquiring their quarterback of the future in the draft.
I personally think it screams Logan Thomas. You can really tell from that one sentence, you know, where they offer specifics on which quarterback the Texans may or may not be interested in.
