How Long Before Houston Gets Respect Again?

We missed the boat with Reggie Bush? Bush is more like a dingy than a boat. I think the Texans will start looking smarter even before the season starts. People are going to see what Reggie "Leon" Bu$h is all about this offseason. Just wait and see.
 
Mario Williams was the best thing for Houston Crap! Of course Houston is going to go into high gear spinning this kid. But the reality is that this kid showed little to nothing in college. NC State went 3-5 in their conference and weren't a very good football team. Williams was a workout wonder. Nobody was talking about him 6 months ago. He had a great workout and all of a sudden he's the greatest thing since sliced bread. Houston had the first pick and wasted it on Williams. If we were talking about a fourth or fifth pick I might not be complaining but a first pick... that's insane. This kid has been known for taking plays off on defense, and his numbers didn't pick up until the end of the season and only against mediocre opponents at best. If anyone should have a HUGE question mark over his head it should be this kid Williams. He hasn't been that spectacular his whole college career, but he has a great workout and now everyone is saying how wonderful he is. Reggie Bush played day in day out and took no plays off. He played running back, wide out and punt returner. He was the best college player in the country and #1 on 21 NFL teams draft boards. His credentials speak for themselves. Williams has not been the caliber of player Bush has been and that's the difference. We had the #1 pick. You pick the best player available and that player was Reggie Bush not Mario Williams. Williams will be a decent player, but he won't have the impact or be the game breaker that Reggie Bush will be. There was a mistake made here and no amount of spin or smoke and mirrors will change that fact.

Having said that... I love my Houston team and I hope that Kubiak is as advertised. If he is, he will be able to make diamonds out of this lump of coal we call an offense. Hopefully, we won't be back here next year talking about who we're going to pick #1 overall again.

I think you were watching too much pre Rose Bowl ESPN. The best player in college and the BPA was Vince Young. He proved that on the same field. Reggie Bush may not have taken plays off however he was given quarters off, like the 4th QTR of the Rose Bowl.

Since the Texans committed to their previous #1 pick they were in no position to take the BPA, so they took the best player for their team. Whether you agree with Williams or not, they did well by not taking Leon.

The spin manchine was all about Bush and USC. All of their players dropped from where the experts thought they would go. Bush was not the best player, best person, best character, best need or best fit for the Texans. We will leave the light on for ya.

do you think you'd be able to spot out-of-this-world talent on a bad team?? It happens all the time. If Reggie went to the N.O. Saints, for example........ how good do you think he's going to be?? 1700 rushing yards, 27 TDs, 1300 recieving yards 12 TDs??

I don't think so.

Nothing against Reggie.... but I honestly don't believe he was ever picked as the guy for this team. Not by Casserly, not by Kubiak, not by McNair. Choosing Kubiak as the head coach of this team leads me to believe that whole heartedly. I doubt you'll ever have a coach, come out of Denver that will value any runningback as the #1 overall draft pick. Not a Terrell Davis, not a Mike Anderson, not a Clinton Portis, not a Tatum Bell....... none of them.

Tell you the truth, I think they'll still be looking to get rid of DD, because he is making too much money for that position.

Did they want to take Mario with the #1 overall??

I doubt it. But we got no trade offers, and N.O. would surely take him with the #2. We had to take him with the #1.

As a Jaguar fan, I totally agree Speedy.

Good luck to you and the Texans this year, except against the Jaguars of course.
