If we are guaranteed a healthy Peyton, I would literally help Matt Scgaub pack his bags lol. Let's be honest people, Manning at 75 percent is still is still better than Schaub will ever be. But I just can't see McNair and Kubiak ditching Schaub.

Do not want...

I don't think this has a shot in hell at happening so this is about all of the energy that I'm going to waste on this thread.

It's simply not in Kubiak's nature to pull a move like this. The man is loyal to a fault... he's not going to ditch "his" QB and the guy who's been QBing his team for the past 5 seasons.

Also this decision is up to Kubiak, more so than Rick. Rick isn't the shot caller here, both men work hand in hand and Kubiak is going to get final say on who he wants to run his offense. If anybody really thinks Rick Smith is going to have final say on that or will have the authority to override Kubiak's wishes on who our signal caller will be, they're in straight denial.

Peyton Manning is not coming to Houston. And that's without even mentioning Indianapolis Star's columnist Bob Kravitz describing Manning's arm as a "noodle arm" now. By the time next year's season starts Manning will be out of football for almost 2 years and has a injury that he may never recover from.

If I had to put a % on the chances of Manning paying for the Texans, I'd say there's about a 5% chance at best of that happening.

We'd have to make a helmet big enough for his forehead.

Corrected for accurate description purposes.

Isn't Bob Allen the guy that 13 is releasing, and under those circumstances wouldn't he maybe do something out of desperation to keep his job like maybe make up a huge yarn out of whole cloth to spike his ratings ?

My understanding is Allen retired? Your saying he was fired?

[badboy]

Bob McNair thinking national attention?

Umm no. Bob Allen is the senior sports director for channel 13 and has been with the station for about 40 years (which is the longest tenure of any local sportscaster in the country)... He's retiring.

I don't understand how the passing game changes w Manning. QB still takes the snap and throws the ball to the open WR while the OL blocks. We're talking about potential the most cerebral QB in the history of football. So we lose the QB sneak. Big deal. Schaub vs Manning in a foot race...no one would care. They're both both slow. Manning has one of the best play action fakes in the league, all without a run game. Plus he won't have to face the best D in the division AND Mathis and Freeny are probably gone too.

Yeah, I'd sign him and leave Schaub and his busted foot on the bench healing. Can't have enough QBs.

Now on PFT. This will be on ESPN in morning.

Poor Matt.

Can you imagine the national TV games we would get next year?

Manning vs. Rogers

Manning vs. Brady

Manning vs. Tebow

Manning vs. Luck X 2

Solomon and Stradley going back and forth over this topic on twitter lol

Another thing to ponder. Would 33-year-old unrestricted free agent Reggie Wayne also come to Houston if Peyton Manning does? I think that would be knocking down two birds with one stone and Rick Smith would win GM of the year if it all leads to a Super Bowl 47 victory in the Superdome. He's already good friends with Andre Johnson. Helped recruit him to the Miami Hurricanes if I recall an in-depth feature being done back in 2003 by ESPN when Houston drafted Andre.

We need a Monica lewinski incident. How about this? Trade Schaub for the 6 th pick. Trade the 6th and our first or second to move up and draft RG111. Sign manning to be RG's mentor for the next few years. Make a huge trophy cabinet to hold all our Lombardi trophies.

espn said that if Manning goes to Washington Wayne would follow so you idea is possible. Why would Peyton want to play for skins? Yuck.

Eli Manning and the Giants just won their second Super Bowl in four years a little over a week ago and the entire football world is talking about Peyton Manning and the Houston Texans right now. I'm ready to see ESPN going nuts tomorrow morning, especially Skip Bayless.

I absolutely love it!!!!!! This is what the off-season should be about. Talking about the Texans winning a Super Bowl and possibly adding one or two future Hall of Famers -- which is usually what happens to the elite teams. Great players want to play on great teams loaded with talent. This is a great opportunity for the Texans to win a Super Bowl or two during the next three years.

No more talking about which player we can draft with our top 10 pick. Those days are over. Picking 26 this year and we should be picking 32 next year. Just out of curiosity, what type of draft pick could the Texans get for Schaub who is coming back from a season-ending foot surgery? I'm not sure he could net us a first-round pick under the circumstances.

Just the excitement and buzz I feel with the Houston Texans right now. It reminds me of the 2003 Major League Baseball off-season (prior to the 2004 season starting), when the Astros signed Roger Clemens and Andy Pettitte. That would best compare the situation of adding players the caliber of Peyton Manning and Reggie Wayne.
