Could get some good future or current pick, I'd like to see how this will shake out, I dont really want to see him in a Texans uniform anyway...

One word for Houston:

LINEMEN

2/27/2006 10:38:13 AM

oh my god.

A professional sports team making a wise decision?

Simply isnt the norm these days...


That team was fucking horrible and it wasnt because of Domanick Davis Ill tell you that.

I think Carr can be okay too... I dont understand why teams draft QB's if they dont plan on ever giving them a shot...

2/27/2006 10:38:26 AM

I agree, I kinda thought Bush would touch the ball a lot (special teams, slot receiver, running back) but for keeping him healthy and not letting him get beat up (like Cadillac Williams) they wouldnt make him the every down guy... I never thought Domanick Davis was a bad back, hes pretty much the same type as LenDale white

dr old school wins this thread

they need to trade their pick and get a shot ton of stuff they need with it

2/27/2006 10:44:22 AM

Drafting what you need and passing on a superstar isnt always a good thing. See Sam Bowie over MJ. I just dont see how you can pass on Reggie Bush. Trade Davis for some linemen. Bush is the real deal.

2/27/2006 11:38:08 AM

^the two are unrelated

you cant just pick the best player in the draft and assume your team is going to automatically be better, this isnt basketball, it doesnt work that way

2/27/2006 11:41:38 AM

yeah I see Bush being in the highlights every week, but so will David Carr, for getting sacked a million times... they need blocking, doesnt matter whos running

2/27/2006 11:43:29 AM

not taking bush would be a huge mistake, if you want linemen, pick them up in free agency.

2/27/2006 11:49:50 AM

THey arent passing on Reggie Bush they are trading down.

There is a huge difference.


Now if they drafted D'Brickashaw #1 they'd be fucking morons.


But if they can pick up #5 overall and a future 1st rounder or a guy like John Abraham they'd be stupid not to.

The Chargers didnt pass up Mike Vick or Eli Manning they just ransomed them off to the highest bidder.

2/27/2006 11:51:15 AM

BUT HTE CHARGERS ARE TERRILBEADFN NOW 1!!!!111!!!!!

2/27/2006 11:52:59 AM

Yeah, are there any decent linemen in Free Agency this year?

Having a great RB means nothing if the blocking is as bad as it was last year. I used to flip to Texans games just to count the time Carr spent in the pocket before he had to move to avaoid the rush, and it was frequently 2 seconds or less.

Trade down, get some picks, maybe even a OL in return. They can always sign a RB just as easily if they really wanted one.

2/27/2006 11:53:11 AM

I saw just about every Texans game last year (Dom Davis on the ole fantasy team)


That line was atrocious.



And believe it or not, their run defense was WORSE.


You could give that team Lawrence Taylor, Joe Montana, and Pete Stoyanovich in their prime and they still wouldn't make the playoffs.

2/27/2006 11:55:04 AM

^^not Reggie, the dude is amazing. It is gale sayers all over again. You cant trade out of that.



[Edited on February 27, 2006 at 11:56 AM. Reason : plus, who is going to generate more ticket sales, Reggie or some linemen, the texans need exposure]

2/27/2006 11:55:47 AM

I've heard the Sayers comparisons, but the one that will be legit is the injury bug that will hit Bush if he runs behind that line as it is now. They are that bad.

Houstons expansion wave for tickets/merchandise sales may have crested, but they can sell Edgerrin james or Shaun Alexander jerseys, and build a line in the process.

The long term of a major deal can be greater than 1 player. Look at the Herschel Walker deal. Even the SD deals recently got them a great nucleus.

2/27/2006 12:01:57 PM

^i can understand why the would trade down, but everyone has to remeber that before his (as espn said) horrible rose bowl game (in which he gained almost 300 all purpose yards and had an amazing td in which he flew) he was being called the greatest college player ever. If i was a GM i couldnt even consider not drafting him. The business is all about money, not results on the field, and who do you think will generate more money, Reggie, thats why i will be shocked if they dont draft him.

2/27/2006 12:05:04 PM

i said in another thread they should trade the pick to the jets for abraham, #4 pick, possibly more and draft ferguson there.

bush won't do a damn thing for them except boost jersey sales and get injured

2/27/2006 12:06:37 PM

Oh i'd be shocked if they don't draft him. But they're be much much better off trying to put together and O and D line. If they take Bush, they better spend every other pick on these positions and forget about everything else.

2/27/2006 12:07:58 PM

This game is a lot about money but still you need results on the field... I think they can get more for that pick than Bush himself will gain them on the field

2/27/2006 12:09:50 PM

You arent quite getting this.

Reggie Bush might be the best NFL player ever for all I know.

But there are 53 guys on a roster.


And they already have a good RB.

Their team fucking blows.

If they draft Bush they might go 4-12.

That sucks.

2/27/2006 12:12:57 PM

they're going to ruin that poor boys career

2/27/2006 12:14:42 PM

He will probably hold out so long on his contract trying to make mega bucks, he wont even be in a training camp....

Reminds me of Prime Time's draft day quote, when asked: "so Deion how do you feel about getting drafted by the Falcons"

He Said "I was getting worried the Lions were gonna get me, and I was going to ask for so much money, theyd have to put me on Lay-away"

2/27/2006 12:19:49 PM

The Texans drafting Bush would turn him into Kijana Carter v2.0.

It's amazing Carr can still even walk.

so was matt leinart

all that proves is that sports anchors are prone towards hyperbole

2/27/2006 1:13:26 PM

bttt

on ESPN last night the guy from Houston said they still werent sure...

As dumb as that may be, he did think Mario could be the number 1 pick in the draft...

Also Reggie Bush is petitioning the league to wear number 5

Just like Mario's will be ruined if he goes to the Saints.

Because it's the fucking Saints.

4/12/2006 10:39:04 AM

BUST!!!!!!!!!

4/12/2006 10:46:33 AM

They may not pick him... ESPN was talking about them possibly taking AJ Hawk or another guy

in that case, Mario would probably slide past the teams that are drafting a QB, and hopefully end up with a better team

4/12/2006 10:49:52 AM

^If they did that with the #1 pick, then you might as well make a video montage of Texans fans just like the Jets video from a while back (hard for me to watch, but still funny). They would be pissed.

i too had Davis on my fantasy team and had to watch a lot of Texans football. he was all of that offense...ALL of it. give that guy a couple linemen and he will be a top 5 back

4/12/2006 7:32:42 PM

The Texans should draft him and then trade him away, I think.


They don't need him. They need an Oline.
