Heard today that Casserly doesn't like...

I heard on the radio today, from a "reliable source," that Charley Casserly doesn't like Vince Young.

Apparently, Casserly thinks he is "underdeveloped."

Man, I wished they would have fired that guy. He is single handedly going to bring the team down...

I agree with this. I have heard the same from a source close to the team. However, the team (or at least my source) will not give any indication which way they are leaning. Honestly, I do not think they have made up their mind yet. I do know that, as was reporter in today's Chronicle by Lopez, a majority of the coaches interviewed would chose Bush because Carr is not the problem and will be a successful QB.

The most Vince Young does at the combine is get weighed and measured. He might do some interviews with some of the teams. He will not run. He probably won't lift. He may not even touch a football while he is there, that is if he even goes.

If he participates at the combine I would be SHOCKED.

If you heard the speach given by Casserly at last years Combine, you know he can't stand when players refuse to fully participate in the combine.
Hook'em Horns!!!

Actually, when he was on 610, he said that he would be there to participate in interviews and THROW the football. Unless I'm missing something, his passing seems to be the main questions against him. He said that he will throw to answer some of those questions.
:ok:

I heard the same. He also said he may do the shuttle but that he will not run the 40. We'll see that at the UT proday.

Norv Turner was the coach of the Redskins when Shuler was drafted. I'm sure he had input on the draft selection, too. Maybe there's a reason he's been fired from the head coaching jobs he's had... just a thought.

Charlie Casserly blames the Heath Shuler pick on Norv Turner the same way he blames Capers for the Bennie Joppru pick.

It's Charlie Casserly's job to pick the players, not the coach. That is how Charlie gets to keep his job. He doesn't take responsibility for his actions.

Casserly is absolutely worthless as a GM because he passes the buck.

Amen brother. Might just have to say screw the Texans and become a Vince Young fan no matter where he lands. Hopefully there are others of this mentality. They will be the ones chearing the next decade when the Titans come to town every year and whoop up on the Texans.

I still have Titans gear around somewhere if needed.
Something told me not to throw it away.

Now there are going to be Titans fans everywhere. That's all us x-Oiler fans need. If this team let's VY go to Bud I will never forgive them. BTW, screw the Titans, I don't care if I have a son and he grows up to play for the Titans, I will still root against them.

see... thats what im saying... lets draft Bush and we can trim some of the fat off of this fanbase.

They'll keep losing and therefore fat-trimming will automatic.

Man what a waste of a #1 pick, a RB who can't get the ball in his hands for the duration of the game. Durability is a ?mark, goalline prowess is a ?mark, running the called play is a ?mark, holding on to the ball is a ?mark, his alleged shoulder injury/surgery is a ?mark, running north to south is a ?mark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Grid, I know you are in the trade down camp, and I'm obviously in the VY camp. I'm just jonesin' for some wins, back to back wins for that matter. Playoffs even. I was all fine and dandy as a Titan fan since I was a Oiler fan (born and raised Houstonian) but then we got a team and I tried to juggle 2 teams in my heart but struggled with until the Dallas game (19-10 for you cowboy that may have removed it from your memory banks, uh I mean forgotten) then I dropped them like a hot rock. But this team has bungled, jumbled, and fumbled their 4 seasons away and all I've got is that Dallas win and the Carr leaping over the goaline (without reggie bushs' help) in the Jag game a few seasons back. Carr was a mistake, as well as several other aquisitions and not to mention the unwillingness to bring in better o-line players. I'm sure I'll get asked, Who, who was out there to bring in?. Point is I don't know. I'd love to stay a fan but if they screw this up and take bush and he's a bust or warrick dunn at best and VY goes on to greatness then I'm gonna have a hard time tuning on sundays.

Mr. McNair said when asked about the competition with fandom against the Cowboys he said "I don't need to be America's team, I just wanna be Texas' team". Well with that said, the first times we get our hands on the #1 pick in the draft we take kids from california, forget california. If VY and Bush are gonna be graded that close together then why not take VY, you've got more to gain as well as a proven winner up to this point. Forget immediate impact and improving on last season. If we were to forfeit the draft and only fill holes through FA, we'd still improve on last years record from a pure coaching standpoint alone.

I'm gonna stay a fan for now, even if they stupiditly draft bush, but every time bush makes a mistake, all of us bush haters will be here pointing them out in great detail, as I'm sure the VY haters would do if we were to draft VY.
 
great post Big B.. I dont agree with all of it but still a great post.

Im actually in the take Bush or trade down group.. either/or is fine with me. But i hear ya on us being Texas' team, and VY is a Texas product and could draw crowds..at least for a season. But give him 2 seasons on the bench (which is close to what it would take I think) and people are either going to tear their hair out screaming "PLAY YOUNG!!!!".. or they will quit following the Texans anyway.

I just dont think he would make a difference in the long run. He is a running QB.. that is undeniable.. he likes to make plays with his legs.. and running QBs do not get it done in today's NFL. Pocket QBs are what works best, and if we are in the position to go one way or the other, I dont see why someone wouldnt choose to go the pocket QB route. You say he is a proven winner, but so is Matt Lienart.. is the only reason to take Young because he is from Houston? Cause that isnt enough of a reason to spend a #1 pick on him.

Honestly.. do you think Young could be a pocket QB? someone like Big Ben? Or will he always be a running QB? Can he fix his throwing motion? cause that is gonna be a big problem in the pros.


As for being a fan.. every fan has his limits.. for example if the Texans turned into the old Cowboys.. talking smack, doing smack, smacking women.. that would be my limit. But as long as the Texans are making positive decisions to improve the team.. and really trying to win... even if they dont pick the guy I want.. ill never stop supporting them. Even if the guy I want goes to a rival.
