RGIII a future Texan?

[Joe Joe]

I'm a Longhorn, but Tannehill looks great throwing out of play action. I could see him as a Texan.

OK NBT, your guy, RGIII has my attention. A very nice arm, above average runner, and a winner.

Only down side to him is that on the last couple of mocks I've seen he has been creeping into the 1st round. Is it time for the Texans to take a QB of the future in the late 1st?

Nope. Too many knuckleheads around to use it as an opportunity to create a QB controversy. Schaub will just be 31 years old next summer.

Maybe use a 2nd rounder on a QB if Leinart proves to be an incapable backup, but not a 1st.

point to be made though... Schaub is entering the final year of his contract next season. In spite of the injury, it might be time to extend him this offseason if a full recovery is the prognosis.

He is not exactly my guy. I was just throwing him out there to see what kind of response it would get. But that was a good rollout and throwback to his right to win the game from the previously undefeated Sooners.

And no, I would not use a first on RGIII. I liked him better as a late second, or early third. Of course he could end being the same kind of player Andy Dalton has proven to be for the Bengals.

I think the Red Raiders would ask you to amend that comment.

OOPs! Sorry about that Bob.

I would take him. This is undoubtedly a super bowl team talent wise. I don't think any team in the afc is close to us talent and scheme wise at the 21 positions other than QB. Schaub is definitely good, but I would love if we took advantage of the fact we have no glaring needs to get our next QB before we need him.

I now believe he's going to be out of our reach by the time the draft gets to us.
