QB Quinn Gray (update) signs with Texans

CloakNNNdagger said:
Pickin's are getting slim for a reasonably promising backup QB..............Anybody thinking that we may sign Gray for the sole purpose of turning around and marketing him for a 3rd round pick? Once the draft is completed, it becomes pretty late to be trying to get a "quality" backup in. Certainly waiting until roster cuts begin is even chancier. Therefore, if Gray may be considered a semblance of a quality backup, then there will be someone out there interested in turning a deal.
The best of both worlds..............definitely hang on to Sage and get the 3rd rounder.

Why would Minnesota do that when they can just sign Gray now?

One of the facets of this deal is that Minnesota wants to bring in somebosy who can compete for the starting jog, or take over if Jackson fails. If the rumors are to be believed they think Sage is the best option for this and they appear to be willing to pay, with draft picks, for him.
 
Looking over the stats from last season, some of Gray's and Sage's numbers are relly similar (if we extrapolate Gray's numbers to roughly the same amount of playing time as Sage.)

Sage would have a definite edge in completion %. The TDs would be 14 for Gray and 15 for Sage, while the INTs would be 12 for Sage and only 7 for Gray. Avg yards per completion is 6.8 to 7 with Sage getting the edge. Gray had a QB rating of 85.6, Sage's was 84.8.

Sage definitly put the ball up more then Gray, but it looks like Gray took better care of the ball. Gray had the advantage of a good running game to support him, but Sage easily had better recievers to throw to.

All in all they performed about the same last year.
 
sage is worth a 2nd, nothing less, this will open up the 3rd to be used on a qb, is anyone high on henne? i think he could be a steal
 
i agree with the thinking that although Sage may be a better backup than Gray, you have to take advantage of a backup's value when it's high. If trading away Sage gains us another good pick and we still have an arguably decent backup it seems to me that we gain more than we loose. But it is a risk. Make no mistake. But you have to gamble sometimes, not every time, but sometimes.
 
wow if we can trade sage for even a third round pick and have gray as our backup id do it in a heartbeat. gray played well in jacksonville and his receivers werent exactly andre johnson and andre davis.
what do you guys about bringing culpepper in as a backup if we trade sage?
 
Sage is definitely worth a 2nd rounder (and maybe a little bit more). I wouldn't mind at all if they shipped him off for draft picks and signed Gray, considering how well Rick Smith and Kubes draft.

Hopefully Schaub can stay healthy, though.
 
The Chronic's Megan Manfull's take on Quinn Gray's upcoming visit:

Everyone knows Jacksonville quarterback Quinn Gray feels comfortable at Reliant Stadium. After all, he threw for 302 yards and four touchdowns against the team in the season finale.

Now, he will visit the Texans as a free agent. The Texans are looking to possibly carry three quarterbacks this season. The past two seasons, they have carried only two. But because of all in the injuries around the league last season, it has become clear that having a third quarterback isn't such a bad idea.

Now, Quinn would seem more likely to sign with a team where he is going to be a No. 2 though. He started four games last season and won two of them. The only way he could become a No. 2 in Houston is if the Texans were made an offer they couldn't refuse for Sage Rosenfels.

Minnesota already offered them a third round pick for Sage, so he could backup to Tarvaris Jackson. With the Texans bringing in Gray, the speculation is going to increase about whether or not Rosenfels will be traded.

At this point, I don't think the Texans expect Rosenfels to be going anywhere. He is too valuable to a team that is still unsure just how many games Matt Schaub can play in a season. Because of injuries, Schaub missed five starts and left four other games early. But as the draft gets closer, if a team surprises the Texans with an offer that's hard to refuse, Gray could be their backup plan.

This reads like something out of the Texans PR department. "Now" the Texans will carry 3 QBs? "Now" Quinn Gray will agree to become a 3rd stringer, after being a backup last season? "At this point", I don't think Rosenfels will be traded, either. But if and when the Texans sign Gray, you can bet the deal for Sage is in the oven.

Megan Manful isn't even Megan Quarterteaspoonfull. I hope she reads this and starts providing something other than press release material. Either that or team up with another Ball Girl and have lots of photo opps because she is useless otherwise.

The scary thing is that she is significantly better than she used to be. It is not a leap to think that the Texans have indication that they can get an acceptable draft pick for Sage. The issue for the squad is not having an acceptable back-up for Schuab before moving Sage. Very few teams have a quality 3rd QB who can actually be a 2nd QB on at least half the NFL. Even fewer when you consider the team went out of its way to sign the guy versus some UDFA who actually has a little bit of something.
 
maybe he can at least give the texans insight on the jaguars. We can use all the help we can get in the division.
 
Quinn Gray looked good in the few games I saw if play last year. He's a big, sturdy looking QB. If we can sign him and trade Sage for highest market value, then I'm for it. Right now that value seems to be a 3rd. We can wish and/or wait for a 2nd rounder, but I'm not sure we'll get it. We may have a better shot at getting another pick this year (a 6th to cover our hole) or another pick in '09. Teams that might be interested in Sage and who have multiple picks--MIN (extra 3rd and 6th), GB (extra 2nd), MIA (extra 2nd), CHI (extra 3rd) and CAR (extra 3rd).

If we sign Gray, getting a 3rd and 6th from Minny would probably be doable. That would give us 7 picks again...also maximize Sage's value. If someone like GB will give us their 2nd, then Rick Smith is the new Merlin.

i think cold pepper is a dolt. i remember watching him with miami getting bullied by our anemic (at the time) pass rush and he reminded me of david carr but without the awareness to falldown. just sort of staring at nothing. not looking anywhere. furthermore i think he's a bit of a thug. at least that's how he seems to come off to me. furthermore, he's not really young anymore.
 
Lucky said:
The Texans won't sign Gray unless Sage is dealt. That's the reality of the situation. I guess the Vikings looksee at Gus Frerotte pushed the Texans to reconsider this deal.

I would prefer Rosenfels to Gray as the Texans backup QB. He's a known quantity who has had success in this system. But, I can understand why Smith & Kubiak are contemplating the move. The Texans have done well in free agency with the limited resources they've been willing to use. This is not the year to break the bank in free agency. But, this team still needs more talent and depth. An additional 3rd rounder could be used on a situational pass rusher or a FS of future.

I'm sure Kubiak is thinking about Gray's performance in Week 17 against the Texans. He was the best QB on the field that day, throwing 4 TD passes. Gray has always been a strong-armed pocket passer, whose accuracy and decision making have been questioned. Gray answered those questions in that game.

I don't know if Sage will be traded or not. If so, I'll always admire him for how he's handled being the backup QB here. He never complained about his status even when he had preformed at a high level in the '06 preseason. Nor last season, when he stepped in for Schaub and helped the Texans to their 1st non-losing season. Sage would be missed, but he's deserving of an opportunity to start in the NFL. And he and his agent have probably told Smith and Kubiak as much, in private. Here's hoping that things work out well for all parties involved.

Article in the chronicle says The "Texans are looking to possibly carry three quarterbacks next season — something they haven't done the past two seasons under coach Gary Kubiak."

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/fb/texansfront/5637424.html

Of course they are going to say that, they would lose leverage in trade talks if teams didnt believe we were serious about keeping 3 QB's. Makes you wonder if Kubes & or Smith are blowing some smoke. Does anyone beleive we would carry 3 QB's?

Its easy. Ask yourself, what would be better for the team?

Sage
or
Gray and a 3rd round pick? Before you answer think about who we have drafted in the third round over the years.
 
How bout we sign Gray and trade Sage and a fifth for minnesota's second and draft Ray Rice with that pick. This would only happen of course if Rice is available in the second round.
 
If they wont budge from their third round offer and we really want to trade Sage, we should at least hold it for a small ransom. Like incase a player falls that is a steal is available at 17 we can tell them allright we'll give you Sage for youre third and a promis not to draft so & so. Get all you can mr Smith.
 
I know that I may be the only one thinking that it if we pick Quinn up there is potentially a surprise deal that includes dangling a Quinn package somewhere down the line rather than a Sage package. I'm still thinking that Smithiak still wants a known secure commodity this season at their #2 position. Hold the tomatoes, please.

Quoting Megan as a source is about a relavent as quoting anyone here. Please reread what she wrote, she has not talked to anyone within the Texans organization for her conclusion about anything. Oh wait she had no conclusion, she double speaked about carring 3 QB and then mentioned trading the one guy she said was our backup. Hell we do that here all the time. She mentioned all scenarios yet said nothing.

I don't know if I agree with that. I think Manfull has talked to the Texans, but can't get anyone to go on the record. They're telling her that they may carry 3 QBs and that no deals are imminent. Megan's just carrying the water for the Texans. McClain does this all the time.

The fact is that we don't get honest analysis from the local rag, as you would get in Boston or New York. Or even Dallas (as much as it hurts to type that). Don't get me wrong, the Chronic has improved in its coverage of the Texans over the years. In volume, anyway. They still employ 2nd string journalists, so we're going to get 2nd string information. Ask yourself why does PFT beat the Chronic to the Gray visit? Is it because the writers at the Chronic are lazy, or are they asked to sit on news by the Texans?

A lot of the debate here regarding a possible Sage trade is whether the Texans are getting value, and if it is worth the risk. I get that, but another important element in this is the possible pressure Rosenfels and his agent are placing on the Texans to do the deal. Sage has been a good soldier in his Texan career. That could change if the Texans block his chance at a starting NFL job. Ask yourself whether you would want to compete against Matt Schaub or Tarvaris Jackson? And at 30 years of age, Rosenfels has maybe one opportunity left to get a decent (in NFL terms) contract. Without a real chance at the Texans starting job,a team where he could compete, and a new contract, how could Sage be his usual positive self come training camp?

The more I think about it the more open I am to trading Rosy.

However, if I'm the Texans I'm not trading away the guy for a sack of magic beans unless I'm guaranteed that a beanstalk will grow.

That's where I was going with this too. McClain was on 610 last night and was towing the same line, opining that the Texans were trying to bring in Gray to compete for the number 2 job, dismissing any notion that he would be brought in to make a Sage trade feasible. He even said he "talked to his sources in Jacksonville" who told him there was no way Gray would go somewhere to be a number 3 (duh) and, therefore, it is highly unlikely Gray signs here.

Obviously the FO is going to put this out there, they don't want to lose value on Sage. But it is insulting to me that journalists who are supposed to report and analyze the news are sheepishly towing the party line. I mean, it's plainly obvious to anyone with half a brain what is going on here, so it's not like I feel cheated by the lack of insight from the Chron, but it's insulting to have McClain and Manfull feed us this bullshit.

Some teams contemplate their options for so long (such as the Raiders) that their options "disappear." Furthermore, I am not only thinking in terms of such a deal coming down in the immediate future. If a team has their QB(s) go down in preseason, which certainly does happen, options become even more limited. Even if they try to pick over "final cuts" by other teams, pickin's are very limited and the wait can create loss of practice time to establish a semblance of QB/team chemistry. The acquisition of Quinn as a 3rd QB, if it even occurs, could ultimately lead to more than just the scenario of trading Sage. In the interim, the Texans could evaluate their new acquisition up close and personal, gaining a better idea of what they really may or not have.

I also have to say I got her confussed with Anna-Megan (for some reason I do that from time to time). As far as her talking to the Texans, I am sure she and McClain do on a lot of what they right about, but on this issue I doubt she has because of the way she wrote the article. She covered every aspect from every angle.

The Texans are looking to possibly carry three quarterbacks this season.

She does not even say she talked to someone, she should have said Are the Texnas looking to possibly carry three QBs because of all the injuries.

With the Texans bringing in Gray, the speculation is going to increase about whether or not Rosenfels will be traded.
Click to expand...

If the Texans are going to have three QBs why would they trade Sage? Oh that is right because Gray would not be a number two, so then again explain to me how we are going to have 3 QBs unless another one was brought in.

She wrote this piece not once but twice. Once for her blog and once for the mainstream part of the chronicle but gave no indication she has spoken to anyone. Hell we are speculating like her, but she is the one with Kubiaks phone number and could at least get a crappy quote to go with the story.

I agree with most of your post, but want to make one observation. Since Kubiak has come to town, McClain's writing in particular has changed. In circumstances like you suggest, he used to say "sources with the team" or some such anonymous reference to having actually spoken to someone (**cough**Casserly**cough**). Since the last piece of the regime change was completed, those references to having an anonymous source have largely dried up. I don't think he or the Chronicle folks generally are getting the access they used to.

I think you are correct and I also think that McClain doesn't really have a good eye or feel for the sport....he just has good sources and contacts that give him his opinions (basically I think his journalism skills are better than his eye for the game). Over the years his ability to critically break down football games/personnel/strategy without piggy backing on some 'inside scoop' has been lacking.

re: McClain, I think in the past Casserley was somewhat open with him but I think Smith and Kubiak are a lot more tight-lipped so, he does more speculating these days.... I'm thinking the Chronicle is pretty much reliant on whatever the Texan PR dept. feeds them...

His (McClain's) projections always seem to be just a tad off: last year we had "Carr's going to be traded" - reality: Carr was released. Lately, we get "Texans are going to select a CB in round 1 and another CB in a later round" has been revised to "they are going to take a CB or LT with the 1st pick and select the other with the next pick". So, in some respects, he's just like many of us who kinda piece together things from various tidbits even though he should have an insider's angle.

His real strength is as an "all purpose" around the NFL guy... I believe he has a weekly appearance on Titans radio. But as local Texan analyzer, I think he's lacking quite a bit. His game day blogs can be particualarly difficult to read as he becomes petulant and gripey that the Texans aren't meeting his expectations not unlike the 5-star restaurant critic who's only getting 2-star service. I recall last year season when he claimed midway through the 2nd qtr of the New Orleans game that "Mario (is) invisible today". Not sure what game he was watching but I had Mario down for a couple of tackles and a couple QB pressures at that point. Mario went on to have one of his (many) "break-out" games and had a terrific 2nd half of the season. Sometimes with him it is either "praise or slam" so I've learned to filter while reading... As mentioned, analysis is not his strong suit but for reporting the news, he's adequate...
 
McClain can spin some yarns from the ole days when the Oilers were around,
and of course he's also usually promoting a movie which "features" a 10 to
15 second appearance by him.
Wonder what kind of money the Chronical pays someone like McClain ?
LZ probably could write a column as well as McClain and make it much more interesting and informative to serious Texans/NFL fans.
 
Anybody see Richard Justice's article in the Chron today? He basically says that trading a strength on your team to fill a weakness on another part of your team is not a step in the right direction.

Personally I feel he left out the possibility that Sage could be asking for out himself. I mean, if you were a back up getting paid a lousy back up contract and knew you were in demand somewhere else and you felt you had really only a few years left in football, wouldn't you want a trade?

Hey now, I still stand by what I said so there. Besides, McClain's writing is no better or worse than any other journalist that writes something about the Texans and then gets flamed.

...then she spoke with someone. She typically doesn't stray too far from the quote sheet and that's about as much stepping out on a limb or quasi-independent thought that you'll ever see in one of her articles.

Everyone is talking about trading Rosenfels from an insurance sense. From a strategy sense, the Texans are paying Rosenfels next to nothing.* If they sign another QB before the draft and pay him any more then 'next to nothing,' (hard not to do) there will be adverse effects on a couple fronts - which is reason to believe they won't do it - or at least not consummate the deal before the draft when a trade is most likely to occur. And that's only possible if they can find a willing trade partner with suitable terms and a QB/agent that's willing to be strung along like that for another month or so.

*Texans | Contract update: Rosenfels - from www.KFFL.com
Tue, 28 Mar 2006 15:37:55 -0800

Houston Texans QB Sage Rosenfels signed a four-year contract with a base salary of $600,000 (2006), $1.1 million (2007), $1.35 million (2008), and $1.35 million (2009).
 
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/5641676.html

Former Jacksonville quarterback Quinn Gray, said Sunday that he plans to sign a one-year contract with the Texans.

Gray, who has visited Green Bay and Oakland, said after arriving at George Bush International Airport that he has another visit lined up in Buffalo but doesn't plan to take it.

"I don't plan on leaving here," Gray said today. "I'm ready to sign. We've been talking on the phone, and now I'm going to meet face to face with Coach (Gary) Kubiak and coach (offensive coordinator) Kyle Shanahan."

"My agent (Drew Rosenhaus) has an agreement in place. It's a one-year deal."

How long till the other shoe drops?
 
Wow. Thanks for posting the link, Hoth.

I just don't think we are going to carry these 3 QB's, if he does sign, and it appears he will, I will be suprised if we keep Rosenfels. I know they want to carry 3 QB's this year, but two really good back-ups translates to an additional draft pick IMO.

I wouldn't mind having all 3. I like Gray, he looked good last year and I can't believe the Jags let him get away. Guess we will see, but my guess is Boyd will be kept at the 3rd stringer (maybe on the PS if that is possible). Either way I think it is a great move, we will either have great depth at QB or we are going to get an extra pick in the draft.

Frerotte left Minnesota without a deal. That may signal that the Vikings are preparing to make the trade for Sage. Most teams want to get their new QBs into their facilities ASAP so they can pickup the system and interact with the players. If the Vikings are the team that's targeting Sage, I expect something in the next week.

Gray will sign a one year deal. So it's possible that the Texans could carry 3 QBs this season if they decide to spend a late choice on a prospect that fits the system. Oregon's Dennis Dixon & Tulsa's Paul Smith are a couple that come to mind.

I think Boyd has already filled that role (the one that might be filled by a late round draft pick). I could easily see them signing another UDFA to be a camp arm.

It would be odd for the Texans to start carring 3 QBS now, espically since Kubiak has only carried 2 in the previous years.
 
Out of all the places, I would love Sage to end up in MIN. It seems like a pretty good situation for him.
 
"The Texans have two good quarterbacks, and if everything goes like I hope it does, I'll be added to the mix," Gray said. "I think that I can fit in here. I love Houston. I like the organization and where the Texans are headed."

"Hopefully, everything will go well when we meet (Monday at Reliant Stadium)," Gray said.

love the fact, "this just in" The Texans Have Stability @ QB- Richard Justice
