There are too many questions about Manning to take the risk given that the Texans have a pro bowl level QB, a great D and an offense that is run oriented.


If Manning were to wait until later in the offseason to sign, and then it was determined that his arm is back to normal, I would certainly try to sign him if I'm the Texans. That is assuming that Mario Williams signs elsewhere, which would open up a lot of cap room.

But if Manning wants to sign right away, then I agree, too much risk for Houston.

Are you kidding? Now that the Texans are a contender, it matters a heck of a lot what the Patriots, Ravens, and Steelers do every offseason. That is your competition


The Texans have no control over what those teams do, I really don'tget what your point is. If the Pats get a better D they will be better, that doesn't mean the Texans can't beat them. It doesn't mean they will win the AFC 5 straight years. It also doesn't mean the Texans can't better and changing QBs isnt the only way for them to get better. The Texans D was very young, they could get better.

For only the 15 millionth time, this isn't fantasy football, you don't just take a top 10-12 QB and push him aside with out it causing disention on the team. YOUR view of Schaub being a "system" QB and not a leader or as someone that folds in the 4th Q is not shared by most football people, including players on the Texans.

Its too much risk either way, unless you have a time machine and can travel into next Dec and see how he plays. You and everyone else keeping thinking its a given he will be the PM of old.
