Dont forget:
The Colts just went to the Super Bowl with a 3rd rounder and an undrafted guy as their starting CBs, and they found those 2 in a relatively weak CB draft
This CB draft class is mega deep which is one of the main reasons why I think they were confident in letting him go.
We can find Dunta's replacement in the 3rd-7th rounds and not have to change our draft or FA plans going forward because of that fact. Besides we were going to draft a DB or two anyways, even if Dunta was staying.
Also this makes it easier to keep our own UFA's Walter, Pitts, OD, and Demeco.
Funny you mention the Colts. Have you ever noticed how The Colts staff comes to talk to Dunta after a game with us? I even recall a coach coming over to him one time telling him he was a hell of a player.
My money is on The Colts picking him up and us paying for it bad. Not because he's that good but because we are a Houston franchise.

This is before the end of season but I remember some posts on here and in the Chron and they were talked about on here. I think this was right before Christmas. According to ProFootballFocus.com, Dunta was the 96th ranked cornerback in the league. At that same juncture Dunta Robinson had 52 tackles, 43 solo(33rd for CB's) 9 Passes defensed(tied for 44th in the league) 0 INT's/1 FF. Glover Quin had more tackles, more solo tackles, and the same amount of passes defensed as Dunta.
No way that guy is worth the money.
CB is #1 pirority now this off season playing the colts twice with our current CB squad = Peyton lighting us ablaze
Thank you spell check nazi....
Nope, I'm not one that usually calls people out for spelling errors. I just thought it was funny.
He's only been with the Texans for about 7 years, so I can understand how one could misspell his name.
6 years, but who's counting?
Anyone remember this game?
It was the game that Dunta got burned to allow the Titans to kick Bironas' record setting 8th field goal.... for the win.

Nevermind unimportant things like Robinson giving up 25% fewer yards per snap than Quin. I guess it's okay to get torched as long as you make a few flashy plays and pile up the tackle numbers after you give up a catch.
No real argument there.
This is how I will remember Dunta's play if someone were to mention him...
So your one stat trumps all my stats and my source? I'm not even sure of the source of your 25%. Maybe Quin gives a little bigger cushion and doesn't get burned as much. The point you missed completely is that Quin had similar or better stats in areas and yet Dunta is allegedly this top corner. BTW, profootballfocus uses a ton of things to come up with their rankings. Reeves was 41st, Quinn 74th and Dunta 98 to end the year. Those include these stats...
Dunta 594 yards, 11.0 average per game, 180 yards after catch and 3 TDs
Quin 587 yards, 11.5 average per game, 241 yards after catch and 1 TD.
So where is the big difference?

Aso was thrown at 29 times total.
Dunta....54.
Typical SH, typical wrong.
Dunta Robinson is nowhere close to a top-five cornerback. You want the team to win by dramatically overpaying an average-at-best CB instead of using that money elsewhere? Yeah, that makes a ton of sense.
Hutto's just sayin...
Just admit that yall are more mad at Dunta for making 9.5 million this season, and making a big fuss last offseason, than you are mad at him for his overall play and we will be done with this.
You're talking about paying an average at best CB 10+ million a year. If we franchised him again, we would be fools. He is in no way worth near that money. Use it to lock up Meco and OD.

how am i wrong? you have an opportunity to retain a player that started for your team and was the #1 corner. yes, it would be expensive, but you wouldn't be on the hook for the future or a long term deal.
its obvious you have been living in a hole in the ground because you are talking about spending the money elsewhere. McNair has already said that they don't expect to make any big moves in free agency.....so do the math, Einstein. That means we won't be getting anyone with the money that Bob saved to replace him or improve other spots on our team.
so its pure logic. let me spell it out.
we lost one of our better players, albeit a much maligned player since Pay Me Rick, and we got nothing for him and are now without our #1 corner. we aren't going to replace him with anyone because HE IS THE #1 GUY OUT THERE AVAILABLE. how does that help us?
sometimes I think some of these fans think that the salary cap is like the boogieman or that you are spending your own money on Dunta.
Bob saved some money and didn't improve the team and doesn't intend to spend the money saved on anyone else. how is that good?
but yeah, im wrong. we lose our #1 corner and somehow that is a good move....freakin lunacy.
