Kubiak had to break down game tape of Bush during his interview and tell the FO how he would use him. That's where my opinion comes from that the decision was already made that we wouldn't be taking VY. They knew they had to pay lip-service to VY so there wouldn't be a fan revolt.

I guess my point is when someone goes on a job interview that was setup by a headhunter. The headhunter tells the prospective employee what the employer is looking for and what he needs to say to get the job.

It seems reasonable to me that some people sat down with Kubiak, his agent or someone collecting a fee, and explains to him what the Texans are looking for.

Kubiak could have been told by someone that he needs to be on board with David Carr and he should pitch himself that Carr is the man if wants the job.

Not saying it happened, but it seems very reasonable to have happened. Having said that, maybe Kubiak doesn't really care for Carr.

First things first is to get the job. Second is to make changes afterwards.

I trust what I see with my own two eyes and 30 years or so of watching the NFL tells me Young is going to be a superstar. I stay away from most of these threads but the draft is almost over and I haven't changed my mind from the end of the College schedule. Next weekend should be fun....and bonkers.

But I think you also understand that there can be more than one superstar or very good player in a draft. With that, a team may have more than one viable option to attain their goal - the Super Bowl and profits (in no particular order).

Let's say you had Casserly's office, staff, and game tapes (but not his salary just to keep you humble) at your disposal. Do you think you'd have better or even very different opinions?

I'm going to be incommunicado the week after the draft, starting Sunday. I have a feeling I'm going to miss some lively conversation.

Part of this is Vinny has never liked Carr, but I respect his opinion. We agree to disagree, but that factors into the VY thing. He would feel the same way no matter what he looked at. Time will tell who is right or wrong, but there may be no right or wrong. Both may do very well and all including Carr might wind up being very outstanding players.

That is one reason why I have always respected Vinny. I dislike Carr but also didn't go to UT or want to necessarily drafy VY, even though I think he will be a stud. Somehow people's opinions get messed up with "loving" a guy and "wanting" a guy, etc. I purely look it at from a football perspective and appreciate Vinny and others who express their opinions and take the heat.

No thanks. All you had to say was "...Bayless..." and I had all the info I needed to make a decision.

By the way, along the same lines of Bayless...there's an old lady in a scruffy robe down the street yelling at some alley cats who knocked over her trash cans and woke her up. About the same kind of commentary you get with Bayless.

Me too. So many months of debate and discussion finally getting resolved. I'm pumped.
