Unconfirmed source says Texans are signing Garrard

Unconfirmed source (but pretty solid) says the Texans are going to sign David Garrard. As long as the contract is reasonable I'm fine with it. He'll be a better backup than TJ Yates, and it'll be just that much more fun to bust the Jags again with him on the roster.

Be careful dude!! These guys around here will curcify you if you don't show proof!! Just a friendly warning!
 
Sounds credible... They're not making this decision until Schaub is on IR... Plus, Garrard had back surgery, and I'm pretty sure he's out for season.
 
Please lord!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



He would beat schaub out if you ask me and heres why

he would have Arian and Tate and aj and a lot beter o-line




please sign him and start him against the jags! let him get revenge!


he never had a chance at the jags i see him going crazy with us

He does not know the offense.

Me either. "Time Machine" is starting against the Jags. No player in existence other than Matt Schaub is more prepared to start that game. Beyond that it's possible that the Texans might entertain other ideas but a lot of that is dependent on how well Leinart plays against Jacksonville.

I'm sure that another "unspectacular" veteran QB is in the cards if we won't be seeing Schaub again this season. I doubt it would be Garrard.
 
Several reports said that DG needs IMMEDIATE surgery for Disc Hernia (10/17).

While waiting for CNND to give his take, I found this on Wiki:

Surgery should only be considered as a last resort after all conservative treatments (non-surgical therapy) have been tried, that did not alleviate the pain and heal the disc herniation. Also, surgery is indicated if a patient has a significant neurological deficit.[35] The presence of cauda equina syndrome (in which there is incontinence, weakness and genital numbness) is considered a medical emergency requiring immediate attention and possibly surgical decompression.

Doesn't sound too good!
 
For what it's worth, my opinion is that he would be brought in to backup Leinart, it's too late in the year for him to be a #1 option unless Leinart completely tanks or is injured.

Here is a link on Rotoworld saying he needs imediate surgery: LINK
 
Can we stop with these threads?

Garrard had back surgery this year and is not available.

http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7...-option-oakland-raiders-jason-campbell-injury
David Garrard has a herniated disk and is going to schedule back surgery this week, he told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen. The Oakland Raiders had reached out to the free-agent quarterback in the wake of Jason Campbell's broken collarbone but Garrard informed the team that he is not available.

"The Raiders were in contact with my agent, Al Irby, last night and he was straight with them about my back problem, that I also was having a second opinion today. So it's disappointing because I wanted to play but my doctor says this surgery won't prevent me from playing next year," Garrard told ESPN.

I'd rather have Favre here than Garrard, and I don't want Favre here.

We're going to be fine. I think we need to go .500 over the next 6 games to clinch, and as cynical as I can be sometimes, I think we will do better than that in the end.

Finished. 6 games left and we are not in control. Did I miss us clinching a playoff berth? I wouldn't ask either because I don't expect him to do a whole lot.

Honestly i bet going 2-4 could get us into the playoffs, the Titans are who they are and they have some tough games i don't see them winning. And with the level of competition we play i think that should be manageable.

What are you basing Leinart off of though? The preseason where he throws dumpoffs to backups with backup lineman blocking for him, or the one from Arizona where it just never seemed to fit right for him? Just curious, but i doubt we can call him finished when he hasn't even gotten a real chance HERE yet.

EDIT: And how are we not in control with a 1.5 game lead in our division?
 
Alien UFO's landed in Reliant stadium and left behind a 3rd string QB for us. He's got six arms, weighs 300 lbs, and is 6'7" of pure muscle.

Unfortuantly he's from Mars, and because he grew up with less gravity, he can't get off the bench without breaking something. We really need to get rid of Rick Smith for signing these type of players.

I am basing this on ALL of it. Leinart's failures in Arizona. The iffy preseason. I also cringed watching him make uncomfortable handoffs verses Cleveland. Leinart has been in the league for 6 years and is relegated to sitting on the bench hoping for an injury because he can't beat anybody out for the starting job. Not even Derek Anderson.

2-4 may very well limp us into the playoffs to go with a quick exit. If that excites you... then... I guess it does. My hopes are of the championship kind. That came crashing down when Schaub kicked it with his cinder block. Our season's over. Stick a fork in 'em. We're toast.

We are no longer in control because we lost our starting quarterback. No more. No less. It makes no difference if we're ahead one or two games after this Sunday.

ALL of the reports that Garrard was to have "emergency" disc surgery were around 10/18/11. We have not heard a peep since then about him having the surgery or what surgery it was or how he did or how he was progressing. Somewhat strange that this story has fallen off the face of the earth.

If his disc was amenable to only minimally invasive discectomy back surgery (as opposed to a more extensive surgery such as laminectomy or lumbar fusion), he could theoretically be back on the field as soon as 4 weeks postoperatively. That is the only scenario that I can see that could give possible credence to the "rumor."
 
You know, I think I'd rather have Favre come in here and try to gunsling the Texans as far as he could than to sign someone like Garrard, who IMO, would only be marginally better than Yates, if that.

Bottom line, if Hot Tub goes down, it's over anyway.
 
I've read Cland's posts for nearly ten years now...dude has a ton of credibility so I tend to believe that he's on to something when he is passing on a rumor. Historically he's not the kind of guy to spread wild stuff.
 
Chase Clement 'Excited' to Work Out For Texans

MARK BERMAN
Sports Director

Former Rice quarterback Chase Clement is thrilled he will get the chance to work out for the Houston Texans on Monday.

The Texans may be looking for depth at quarterback while they wait to see if Matt Schaub can bounce back from a severe foot injury and play again this season...

Thanks, Doc!

Interesting, the timing is about right for the best case scenario!
