Kubiak prefers Carr.

Well, then I guess Kubiak is going to be as inept as Capers. I heard Carr's philosophy on the radio last month. He stated he'd rather "take a sack than throw an interception". Yeah, that saves his stats and he can blame the Line for the sack.

Texans will go nowhere with a self-serving qb. Vince is the pick. If they don't take it - I might give them back my seats for next year.

Understanding football is not your strong point is it?

Where did you get this info? I was interested to see the numbers other schools like Ohio State have in the NFL just for general information.

The Texas A&M pipeline will die soon since they don't even have players that can play on other college teams now..lol.

So now all you Kubiak lovers, are all of a sudden Kubiak haters, because he chose Carr over VY?
That has got to be really shallow. :loser :thumbdown

Sort of jumping to conclusions aren't you?
 
Caesar said:
Ofcourse KubiAg is going to keep Carr rather than drafting VY. Heck, who wants leadership and freakish athletic ability when you can have a Calvin Klein model?

Anyone care to wager on an over/under for the number of UT players the Texans draft with KubiAg as the coach? I'll go with zero.

That makes more sense than drafting every horn player that the sippers on this board want the Texans to draft.

VY already better than Carr?..:pigfly: He never will be. My opinion holds as much weight as yours.

Horns finally win something and all of a sudden all of their fans are football experts.

Ill be glad when OK takes back their conference championship and shuts up all the sippers.

Nope. Even during the lean years, A&M still outproduces UT. I think the next few years the tide will SHIFT not change forever.

BTW, How many Horned Frogs in the NFL currently? ;)
 
:stirpot: I think I would pass on Vince and Reggie . I would trade down and stockpile picks . If you have seven early picks and come away with four future starters you have done well .

I would tell Kubiak that from the third round on he can select a QB he thinks has the ability to be a NFL starter . A guy like Toledo's QB who has completed 70% of his passes 2 years in a row or maybe Reggie Mcneal ( he's an Aggie you know ) . This hand picked prospect should make the Texans QB competion more spicy without ignoring the rest of the team .
 
In fairness to Kubiak, the Texans have been anti-UT from the beginning. Seth Wand over Derrick Dockery, Dave Ragone over Chris Simms, Travis Johnson over Derrick Johnson, and now Reggie Bush over Vince Young. I've seen people bring up the possibility of taking Jonathan Scott in the second round or David Thomas in the fourth. It won't happen, as the above examples should prove.

I'm not saying that they should intentionally take players to cater to a particular college fanbase (though they had no problem jumping on Aaron Glenn and Steve McKinney the instant they were available), but at least don't avoid Texas players. Throw us a frickin bone here.

thats a load of you know what.

One player that comes immediatly to mind is Roy Williams who we wanted more than AJ, but didnt declare that season.. and then the next season we wanted him but couldnt trade up to get him.

Another player that comes to mind is Sloan Thomas.. who didnt last on the team.

Heeeeeyyyyyyyyy.:challenge That hurts just a little. Just cause we Aggie fans have a sorry D, sorry O, and left with no hope or a light at the end of the tunnel doesnt mean we have to get personal.

I love all the Longhorn fans who are saying they will give all there tickets back and never watch another game and will even be a Titan fan if the Texans dont draft there boy. Its much like watching a three year old throw themselves on the floor, screaming and crying and yelling cause they cant get the toy they want.

It's even funnier watching some of the Longhorn fans screaming for Kubiaks head even though he hasent even signed the contract.

The best one is the one where they are going to accuse Kubiak of not taking Young cause he is an Aggie and will never take a Longhorn.
 
This is ridiculous. Who cares what college a player went to, it's not going to amount to a hill of beans when they are in the NFL. Honestly, I don't root for x-UT guys (unless they are on a team I root for in the NFL). Just draft and sign the best players.
 
Wow. Is this really what it has come too. Posters rippin' each other's college teams for the "Who we should draft debate". Come on guys we can be a little better that this. I agree with Hook Em, it is a profession, a career, do some of you get overlooked for promotions at work because your boss went to a rival school. I certainly hope not!

I would prefer to believe Kubiak is above this type of thinking or we are in for a long season. The best players should be the preference not what school they attended. Look, for the record I am Longhorn fan, but I don't hate on the Aggies, except for one week in November. I am glad Kubiak is our coach and coming home to TEXAS! Whoever can make our team better and help us get more W's are who I want to see on the field.

Ok so let's take a conservative number to represent "most" ... let's take 5 .... that's 5 of 7 on Carr and 2 of 7 on the pass protection ... that's 71% rounded down .... so in 4 years Carr has been sacked 208 times, can I assume that according to you if another quarterback, let's say Roethlisberger, had of been in Carr's shoes that he would've only been sacked 59 times?

Hard to guess at this, but just thinking about it and how Carr plays and what other QBs do it's probably safe to say half are Carr's.

But let's be conservative the other direction and say only a third are Carr's, OK? Now, you want a QB that brings 69 sacks with him?

Or maybe you'd prefer, what with the poor blocking, bad schemes, unopen receivers, high wind, lousy coaching, to say only a quarter are Carr's?

So now you're eager to keep a QB that causes 52 sacks in 4 years?

I don't think you've got a good argument in here anywhere.
 
So let me get this straight the fact we have a qb who can throw well on the run and would thrive in the denver offensive scheme. Has 4 years of punishment under his belt with no major injuries is not attractive to a 1st year coach? That is great! Never tip your hand till you win the pot.. Great poker by the texans to keep it a mystery. That means we are flexible come april, that means we can maximize our value for the first overall pick by either drafting whoever we want or trading down and stockpiling picks. Chances are though if we trade down Matt Leinhart will be the #1 overall pick because the saints are hoping he falls to them with the 2nd overall pick. So like last year when the saints after they traded up with us to get Thomas davis watched Carolina Screw them. So would be the only reason a team would trade up to our position. There are many other 1st round Backs available besides Bush so not many teams needin a RB will trade up figureing on getting another back.

Can throw well on the run!!! You got to be kidding. He can't even run well on the run.

Now we know you just a Carr-hater and nothing more. This is the most ridiculous statement I have read in a while and with the Bush and VY threads gone wild that is quite a statement.

Face the facts, Texas A&M still produces more NFL-ready players than UT. UT has 26 players in the NFL and TAMU has 42. UT tries to up this number on their website by still listing Jerry Gray and Kyle Shanahan as "active" in the NFL. I don't care who you are, that's funny right there! :heh:

I think you're right that the Ag's have more active players, but that number will be a lot closer after this draft...

God its not even febuary and we are arguing about the draft.

You're right. Its going to be a LONG offseason. Same posts and arguements here for months to come. Hence why I found another interest until Draft time.
