I just feel like they let go of Schaub too early without having a replacement planned out. He's a better QB than Fitzpatrick and they could have started him for another year, grabbing a QB in the top 3 rounds to sit behind him.

I don't necessarily agree with that.  Schaub was declining and they found a team that would give them a draft pick as well as rid them of his salary.  I think Fitzpatrick is about on the same level, but he was cheaper.

 

Regardless, I think we both agree that their QB situation (and maybe their entire offense) is bad.

Newsflash to those who spit the bit over Minnesota trading up for Teddy like it was some great tragedy...  I never wanted him, even if he fell.. I would still pass.  Just because you have a need at position doesn't mean you have to overreact and fill it with sub par talent.

 

Houston will be better on offense than obviously the people in this thread think.  However their defense is going to be insane.  The QB depth in this draft isn't that much different through rounds 1-4.. with Manziel being the only guy with the potential to reach ST level.. and even he has huge bust potential.  Bortles' ceiling is "decent" only.  He's physically and mentally tougher than Gabbert and will attempt to throw down field, but another inaccurate QB.

Not sure why you're bookmarking it? To tell people they where wrong?

I'm no expert and just giving my opinion, every chance I could be wrong and I wouldn't bet on it.

I think Bortles' ceiling is like that of Matt Ryan. Just as a comparison. 

 

I'll gladly take that. 

 

 

And, you're nuts if you would have still passed on Bridge with your second rounder. 

 

I mean, thats just dumb.

They'll have to give up picks next year for him unless NE are happy to let him go cheaply. They don't have a standard 4th round pick at all, infact they don't have a non-supplemental pick until round 6.

 

 

NE has to trade Mallett this year or they lose him next as he is a free agent and they will have to tag him to keep him

 

 

Btw Mallett should scare the hell out of teams that have to face him. The guy can sling it like nobody else can in the NFL. Best arm in the game easily.

Mallett fan right here. 

 

 

I agree. (well maybe not to the extreme extent of sling it like no one in the NFL) as there are a few guys name Brees/ Manning/ Luck/ Brady, etc etc....

 

But I get your point.

Best arm in the game easily? Lol okkkkk... Ever heard of Aaron Rodgers?

Bortles is nothing like Matt Ryan as a prospect.. they are too completely different prospects.  One is a statue with a slight build yet is accurate.. the other has a bigger build, can move, yet his accuracy is a weakness.

 

(on bridgewater)

 

well then.. I guess I'm dumb.  I laughed when everyone here was going crazy over him and wanted their team to secure the first pick in the draft to get him, how "dumb" is that? (then he almost falls out of the first round)..  I wanted no part of Bridgewater since this process first began months ago.  He fell for a reason.. he's fools gold, so why waste a 2nd round pick on him let alone the first overall pick?

Accuracy is not a weakness with Bortles. I mean he's not as accurate as Teddy, but Teddy was the draft's most accurate passer. But Bortles' accuracy is fine. 

 

WHile I agree that Ryan / Bortles are different in the mobility dept, I think they are somewhat similar otherwise. 

 

 

Talk to me in a few years when we see how good Bridgewater is in the NFL and then talk about how you don't care that you were 2 minutes away from securing him with your 2nd rounder.

If that happens, I will... do you ever show up the numerous times where you were wrong? 

 

 

Trust me, I'm not worried about Teddy Bridgewater.. I'd rather have A.J. McCarron (Who I think has been extremely undervalued in this draft.. His colligate career has been vastly overlooked as well)

---

Ryan Fitzmagic will work wonders for our secondary

As for that second paragraph....lol....thats good stuff right there. Rather have McCarron over Bridge....lol, thats rich.

We'll see who gets the last laugh..

 

and what kind of response is "recently I have"?

Rodgers arm is nowhere near the caliber Malletts is. I am speaking of purely throwing the ball with distance, power and correct arc. Mallett has a once every 20 years arm

 

Skip to 1:00 mark as the first min is filler.

You'd have been better off taking Carr.

First off let me say I'm not at all a fan of Mallett, but from a strong arm standpoint he trumps Rodgers and maybe everyone else

---

Maybe Texans will get desperate for one of the remaining QBs and give up 2015 picks to move up.  They pick late in the 4th this year and then not again until the 6th.

Please take McCarron
