Quote:When a team trades away the starting QB in the offseason and have the first overall pick, odds are they're drafting a QB.

Don't you think it's too soon with a first year coach? You always hear that many coaches' jobs are tied to the success or failure of a QB they draft, especially one taken in the first round, or gasp, the first pick. I just dunno if O'Brien is ready for his entire Texans hire to be scrutinized and based upon the very first QB he gets his very first year. 

 

IMO, he's where Gus was last year. Go with the safe pick, get your feet wet, grab a QB in the later rounds that fits your mentality, and see from there. We here in Jacksonville are in a much better position IMO. Gus has the Gus train moving forwards and the Gus juice flowing, we know our goals, an where we want to be. Still a ways off, but we can see it now.

And so if you were to tell me that only one of us takes a QB in the first round, either the Texans or Jags, I'd say Jags. O'Brien's still getting his feet wet, we're already wading out towards the deep end.
