re: Rumors about Peyton Manning

I seriously doubt it. Schaub is a good NFL qb and the Texans are poised to make a deep playoff run next year. I just don't see them taking a risk on Peyton Manning. I'm sure the Texans would pick up the phone if Manning calls but I just don't see them pulling the trigger.

It was reported last night by Bob Allen here in Houston on KTRK. He said that he had spoken to a close member/friend of the Mannings and that Peyton was seriously considering the Texans.
I'd be all for it, don't care to much for Shaub, don't think he has the fire that is needed in the NFL to win.

Schaub will never get the Texans to the Super Bowl.

quote:as a texan fan, i am totally in favor of peyton to the texans with one caveat: hes healthy enough to play. obviously we have no idea where he is now or where he'll be in 8 months. but 90% of the peyton manning weve seen in the last 6 years is significantly better than anything schaub has ever dreamed of.

schaub is a nice player, but has injury concerns of his own. 3 of the last 5 seasons hes missed significant time(5+ games), so hes not exactly reliable. a 5th rd rookie has more playoff wins and appearances than schaub. and this year is the last on his contract, so its not like taking on peyton manning would leave our franchise QB on the back burner in the middle of his contract. it actually works on perfectly. keep schaub for the year as insurance for peyton's neck. after a year, theyll know more and reevaluate.
the 3 most important questions are:
1. is he healthy enough to play at a high level?
2. is he willing to run kubiak's offense and run the ball more than he has in the past?
3. is he willing to take an incentive laden contract, b/c the texans dont have the cap room to give him $28M/yr
