Casserly...make a move PLEASE!!!

Weaver just got the second highest signing bonus in franchise history, next to Carr's original bonus in '02.

Todd Wade, Gary Walker, and Robaire Smith received 32 million in signing bonuses two years ago - cap killing stuff - and Weaver received more than any of them.

The Texans have a history of underperfomance with their big money guys. Is it to much to ask to understand the angst and anxiety of fans that hope we're not seeing an ugly pattern repeating?

I base my opinions on what I have seen and not what might be....while holding out hope for the best.
 
Casserly is a lame duck GM....Hopefully Reeves will keep a close Geko eye on him when Charlie starts chirping "You Can Never Have Enough Quarterbacks".

As I recall, prevailing opinion on the board at the time was two first rounders was just too much for Pace in combination with his cap-killing salary.

In hindsight, how much would Pace have improved that totally dysfunctional team last year? Would it have been worth two first rounders?

he couldn't have hurt but it was too high a price IMO .... has anyone ever signed a Franchise player away from his team other than Cowboys/Galloway?
 
Raiders getting that BIG name (Randy Moss) helped them a lot, huh?

Casserly spends without throwing it all away to some BIG name as some of you wish he would, and you wish he would so that we will be the talk of the sports world and you'll feel good about your team again because Golic & Grenberg and the rest of sportsdom will be talking about us and how this "One big name will put us over the top this season..."

It's only natural to want the BIG names, in other words. But it doesn't translate into a sure-fire winning team. Culpepper is past his prime. The Cards don't have a QB to get it done. And the Saints are just flat-out cursed.

I think Casserly is just a scape goat for a lot of you because you think it's all monopoly money and it's not YOUR money so "why not get the BIG names?" And so you take your frustrations out on the guy who gets the players.

McNair is a smart man. He held off on Kubiak because Kubiak wasn't ripe...so he went with Dom...he let Dom go at the end of the year so a new HC would see that we treat people right...he got Kubiak because he realized Kubiak was finally ready, and Kubiak saw that Casserly gets his head coaches the players they want...and he kept Casserly because he knows that Cass is a good GM who gets his coaches the players they want.
 
Casserly is probably going into NFL Management with the future replacement to Tags. We will likely have to acquire a new GM next year, but who knows Cass's moves might pay off and he might stay for a while. Not likely, but hey anything can happen. As far as the moves made, the coaches tell the GM what needs they want to fill, the scouts look at guys that can fill the position, the coaches tell the GM certain players they would like to fill that need and the GM goes and brings that player in. then the VP of Ops for the Texans Dan Ferens handles signing those players. If you want to blame someone blame Ferens. You can blame CC for PBuch and Babin, but part of that has to go on Capers and company, you have to blame the overpayment for mid level guys on Ferens.
