Superstar said:
Isnt steve mcnair soon to be available? I do remember he wants to be either released from the titans or traded. I could be wrong on this but you never know?

:spy: :)

I think the Ravens would try way harder to get him and McNair would rather sign there with the oppurtunity to start, but there was a report a few weeks ago that we are interested in maybe trading (highly doubtful now) for McNair.
 
Why did Kubiak release Ragone on 4/27/06 they renewed he 1 year extension now release him.........MVP from Berlin Thunder last year and NFL europe, if Carr gets hurts stand by we are screwed with two rookie QB's and Sage which is complete garbage..........please someone explain this loss of a good QB, Kubiak might need a drug test before the season starts......:spy:

Carr's a tough SOB and we need the roster spot.

The Texans tendered Ragone around March 10 which is before Kubiak and his coaches had a chance to evaluate him on the practice field. It was a business step they had to take otherwise he could have become a free agent then. Ragone accepted and signed the tender on April 27. The RFA tender was a business step they had to take because Kubiak and his staff wouldn't be able to fully evaluate Ragone until weeks later (now) when they could watch him in practice (as opposed to letting him walk in March).

And now after a week of on-field activity:
"Dave's a great kid, and he will play in this league," coach Gary Kubiak said. "However, he's a big, strong thrower in the pocket. And we like to move our guys around.

"So it's a matter of him going to a team where he is a better fit.
-- Kubiak on Ragone

MVP in NFLE has gone to a number of obscure players over the years so I wouldn't put a lot of stock in that.

"We" meaning the Texans? Do you have a link for this?
 
I always thought Ragone would be a good #2 as well. I hope he gets picked up and has a great career - except for when they play us. :D
 
Random thought... Don't we still have BJ on our roster? I know Tech fans would go crazy telling us how great he is. I think he is good, just wondering if anyone knows his status.

Symons was released before last season I think. I think he is playing NFLE right now

I have no reason to come back to the Carr camp. As a fan I just need Carr to add some value to the offense per his hit on the cap. Pre season matters, especially this one.

Company man? Rarely applicable in the industry of professional sports. Of course he would love that type of job security. All I am asking is for him to provide some value.

so you think our offensive gameplan and our personel that we had on offense was good enough?

BJ is on the Chicago Bears roster. Kingsbury is still in the NFL, and I think (not sure) Hodges signed with the Pats. Matt Nordgren-Vince Young's back up-signed a FA contract with the Eagles.

He was horrible in his last outing as a Texan. Dave Ragone came in and saved the day! We probably still lost though...:superman:

No I did not, that has been my point since day one. 7-8 million dollars to spend on any QB is to much for Super Bowl success.
 
I can't say I didn't like Ragone because I hardly saw him play.

I do believe that Casserly always drafted around here like we were an established team. This was an example of that.

When Ragone was drafted we were to be primarily a pocket passing team. Kubiak's style involves the QB running. In fact Kubiak said they released Ragone because he really didn't fit our scheme, not that he was a bad player.
 
Shouldn't we aquire a veteran qb for back up, just in case of injuries hopefully we will, other than that this team is shaping up nicely.

I would like that, to get someone like Kerry Collins or maybe even McNair after he gets cut (highly, highly unlikely), but I do like Collins and he could be an above average backup QB for us.

Didn't Tom Brady get his $10 mill contract after the 2005 Superbowl?
 
I think we're better off not taking a risk by having Porter as our backup and not Vick. We don't need a bad character on our team.

We should have taken a stab at Marcus vick for our third string QB. We all have had a bad day or 2.

I think you had a typo... please replace the word "day" with the word "year". Thanks.

Dude doesn't have two strikes, he has the golden sombrero already. He is the kind of player you hope someone in your division signs and has to deal with. If cancer spreads, makes your chances of winning against them better.
