    No team that has a chance at Luck is going to trade him. But if they were stupid enough to do so, I'd offer Arian Foster, Cushing, and every 2012 pick we have. If Luck is what they say he's going to be, you absolutely make that deal and don't look back.

    PS, my worst nightmare is that The Colts get him.

    Who do we have behind Andre that could step into his role? No one. And I just don't see it being that easy to find someone of his caliber. Despite his injury issues and age he's still one of the best receivers in the league.

    I'm all for finding a future replacement for Schaub and starting to groom him, but not at the expense of our current team. And not at the cost of AJ.

    Nope. Wait a year and do whatever it takes to draft RG III.

    A QB that's pass first/can make every throw and has ridiculous speed. Sit him behind Matt for a couple of years. Schaub will be 33, 34 then. Time to move on.

    Luck has a 50-50 shot of being a bust. Why bet the farm on him.

    Where are you getting these odds? Scouts have him as the second-coming of Elway.

    Look at the history of QB drafted number 1 and how many became a bust.

    I agree somewhat about the chance you take with a QB but c'mon mane.... We talking about Luck dude.... Only chance he becomes a historical bust is due to injuries or just plain bad coaching...

    Even if you all would packaged AJ and Arian yall wouldn't get Luck.

    Yall would have to offer Arian, next years 1st and 2nd, and 2012's first, and then yall might have a chance to get Luck.

    I meant 2012 1st and 2nd and 2013's 1st. Plus Arian. Which is a huge price to pay.

    Sure. I'll give the team with the #1 pick not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven, but eight draft picks.(2012-1,2,3,4,5,6;2013-1,3). I'll throw in a couple of good kids and we can call it a deal. Get it done Smithiak ;)

    I love AJ, he is by far our best player and the best WR in the league. However, I would trade him for Luck straight up. We aren't winning as is with AJ, look how much of a difference maker Peyton Manning is. QB trumps WR everytime.

    Even with AJ being the best WR in the game where have the texans gone? No where.

    WR is not as a high impact position as QB, DE, DT, LT etc.

    At this point, I'd trade anyone for some luck right about now. Ours has been horrible for years now.

    ...oh you mean Andrew Luck? Heck no.

    If the Texans say lose in the AFC championship than no try to win it all in the next 2 years or so. If they finish 8-8 again or worse than I'd trade Andre and much much more to get him.

    Of course. AJ is 30 years old and a franchise QB can carry a crappy team far.
