What time of night was this hatched?
Harvin never makes it past Dallas except on an infrequent Sunday in opponent's colors.
Yes, Texans interested in both Hoyer and Mallett if they can swing it.
No need for that. He's just doing his job.
While you may disagree with him, he is a moderator, doing his job doesn't make him a pissant.
Well the Texans are cheap/never make an important signing crowd probably think it matters...there is that.

The message board I have used in the past to keep up with my Irish has changed hands for some reason and we lost our moderator/s.
It is now a cesspool of name calling and rampant bs.

I was big fan of Short 3 when he came out of Mount Union where ran pro days of 4.35 and 4.45 after a "slow "4.53 combine. The pro days were in rain and the 40 degrees. It seems Dolphins are interested. He is 6 foot 193

Moderating is also a responsibility should be used like spice, a little goes a long way. It should not become used as a sledge hammer to CONTROL the free exchange of ideas, particularly just because you are opposed to the thought.
Yeah. It happens all the time on every board. there are precious few GOOD moderators much as there are few GOOD public servants.
Of course that's why their the Houston Texans.
Why try to resign Brooks Reed for? He's trash. This is the bs I'm talking about.

He may be trash but he's our trash and we know how to use him.
If we keep him, we can maybe draft another player at that spot and he can become depth.
Yeah, it's too early to trash a deal before it happens and you see it. But, it's good to see some people are prepared if need be.

"trash," really? I can not fathom being a fan and having an attitude like that about a player like Brooks Reed. I get that he is not a pro-bowler. However, he has been dependable. He plays disciplined, team football and is an asset on the field. Your comment is a perfect example of what is wrong with fandom... Hopefully, you are just having a bad day and this isn't indicative of your attitude in general.

Coming from cstyle (who hasn't been around much lately), this could be a more personal indictment than just the regular fan saying a player is "trash".

49ers reportedly express interest in Hoyer
The 49ers have reportedly expressed interest in free-agent quarterback Brian Hoyer.
But Hoyer is leaning toward the Houston Texans and New York Jets because he would have a better opportunity to be a starter, reports ESPNs Josina Anderson.

I haven't seen this line of thought refuted, but as pointed out by Thunderkyss, About $6M in cap space is required/set aside for signing draft picks, the practice squad and other spending needs:
So at some point we're going to need to cut and/or renegotiate contracts to find additional cap space. Simply put, we currently may not have the cap space to sign Mallett and also meet our other spending requirements. That is, if I'm correctly interpreting the data. As also pointed out, finding this additional cap should not be much of a problem. But if the Texans are intent on signing additional FA's, this funding short fall begins to become larger.
Maybe you should become a fan of the Redskins.

I'm curious to see if we take a shot at Michael Crabtree.

What really bothers me is that Mallet must not be that good at all if Hoyer is what stands in the way of us possibly making this deal with Mallet. If Mallet hasn't shown this coaching staff yet that he has a lot more potential than Hoyer, well that is a horrible sign.
No reason to upgrade our receivers if we're going to have such trash at QB. We might as well keep upgrading the defense and the Oline and be a power running team until we have a guy that throw the ball around.

I was under the impression that the Texans are waiting on Mallett to accept their offer, but Mallett wants to see what the Jets have to offer. In light of this, the Texans start talks with Hoyer, in case they don't get Mallett.
Now, they are saying we want both Mallett & Hoyer.
I don't see how Hoyer is standing in the way.

One could easily interpret the Hoyer interest is just a "safety" in case they can't hook Mallet (without the intention of actually signing Hoyer before Mallet declares he wants to go elsewhere)..........or they would take both and release Fitz if the contract $ monies allow.

I agree. The Jets are f'ing everything up for us at the QB spot right now. lol

Both Mallett & Hoyer want to be starting. The Texans signing both of them won't happen. One will sign here (hopefully Mallett), and the other probably with NYJ.

This just occurred to me. If the Jets want to move up for Winston or Mariota and need a second First Round pick to do so, what would they have that we would consider valuable enough to Trade out First pick for?
ps It also takes them out of the QB chase.

I don't know why we're bothering with Hoyer if that might stand in the way of getting Mallet. We could end up with neither if we aren't careful. And hell, if Mallet hasn't done much to convince these coaches that he needs serious consideration to be the franchise here, then we've been playing around with him for a while now. Maybe Mallet is a worse for all we know, but I haven't seen it so I'm a lot more inclined to believe he has way more potential. I've seen all I need to see of Hoyer to know that he is nothing but mack up material and has no business starting here. If it comes down to him and Fitzpatrick, man that is gonna suck.

I think ultimately this is my concern as well. Between the two I've seen enough of Hoyer to know its Cassel 2.0. Mallet has a canon for an arm, height to see over the OL, and seems to have it between the ears. If we sign Hoyer at that point were getting the same QB.
The larger concern in that scenario is Hoyer and Fitz are both stop gap starters at best. That leaves Tom Savage as the only one with franchise type potential. The FO at that point has to tab a high QB pick unless OB is sold on Savage being able to be that guy.

Have faith in Bill O'Brien guys. He's so smart.
isn't the knock on Harvin is that he's a "me first" head case?
Trade Andre for Garapolo and then send Foster to Minnasota for Peterson. Become a power running team with a good young QB and build the defense up with the draft.
Sorry went into dreamland for a minute.

No, because there's a general NFL-level free agent thread for stuff that has no Texans involvement. It's not that hard.

I say Michael Crabtree myself. Just my opinion.
This is how we should be thinking no matter who we sign at QB. What has mallet done to prove anything? Build the trenches, protect the QB with a solid OL and make his life easier with a solid running game. Build the defense around the best player in the entire NFL.
Dallas emerged last year because te defense stepped up and the OL became dominate in the run game. Hell that formula made tony romo look competent. Unless you have a superstar QB that is the wY to build a successful team.
