I'm not saying Winslow is better by any means, but simply pointing out that Winslow has been much more productive than I thought he was until I actually went and looked. I'll take OD any day of the week though.

Yeah, but OD's agents are going to say, "Look at career stats! Owen's got stats that are just as good AND he'll be there for every game!" I'm just afraid we're going to end up with a (relatively) huge contract that ends up restricting the Texans when it comes to dealing with out other soon to be FAs. DeMeco and Dunta still need to be dealt with, and Schaub's got a huge roster bonus that kicks in in 2010, doesn't he? That'll require a renegotiation, and you knw that if he has better than average stats he's going to get serious guaranteed money.
