Texans gave up too much
The Buffalo Bills deal years ago for Rob Johnson sent a first round pick. Then in turn Johnson got five million dollars. Looking back at the deal today, compared to the Matt Schaub deal, it was a steal.
The deal for Matt Schaub a 2007 second round draft pick, a second round pick in the 2008 draft, and swapping spots in the first round. Talk about desperate, but holy crap. Schaub looked okay in filling in for Vick, but that trade is ridiculous. The Texans felt that they had no choice, but to go after Schaub. Since, they could not get Plummer.
The deal itself is a sign of ineptitude of the houston organization itself. Brady Quinn could have easily been there at the number eight spot. Quinn did not work out at the combine. Also, with looking at the draft order the top five, only Oakland needs a quarterback. Washington and Minnesota maybe, but Houston could have traded up.
What has happened to the National Football League? I can tell you you the fans have put so much pressure on the front office to perform. With that much pressure teams feel that they have to make a blockbuster move to satisfy the fans. Unfortunately teams have not learned that they need to look the other way. Yes, fans have the right to critique your performance, but come on you mean to tell me that all fans are smarter than you front office people.
Well it looks like we are now smarter than you front office people. After all we know how to get you people to do someting. Keep complaing and voicing your opinion. Keep it up people you done well.
