pedroz13 Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 So I guess if the Texans lose they get Bush (assuming he goes pro). They control their own destiny. BUT ...if they win, it gets interesting. Not sure if this has already been posted, if it has I apologize. 5 teams have the potential of going 3-13 after the games this weekend. New Orleans (plays TB), the Jets (plays BUFF), Houston (plays SF), GB (plays SEA) and SF (you guessed it, plays HOU). If they all end up 3-13, the tie breaker is strength of schedule (or lack of strength of schedule in this case). So (from Sportscenter...), New Orleans would get the top pick, followed by GB, NYJ, HOU and then SF. This is assuming they all end up 3-13, a big 'if'.

NO deserves the pick after this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the BS the NFL pulled on New Orleans this year (home opener on your opponents' field????????) they should just hand them Reggie Bush.

DMD Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Well I would think NO would want a QB and not Reggie 1239309[/snapback] Agreed - I meant to say that NO should get the first pick as compensation in a way. It would be more prudent for them to move down and get more picks than to take Bush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiss Cheezhead Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I didn't see the piece on Sportscenter, but if the Texans win, I believe the Saints WOULD get the #1 pick. Then, Leinart would almost certainly go #1 overall; nobody would believe that the Saints would draft Bush, so nobody would trade up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey Pimp Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 SF needs Bush more than any of those top 5. 1239310[/snapback] Not the Jets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a pretty good runner then too by the name of Ricky Williams and we saw how that played out. I'm all about taking the best player available.

SF- Frank Gore-Kevan Barlow Hou-Domanick Davis NYJ-Curtis Martin NO-Deuce GB-Samkon Gado & Tony Fisher (Green and Davenport (the mad crapper) are both free agents and probably won't be back. I do believe the other 4 all need QB's, which could bode well for GB. Or, at least, I am praying it bodes well for GB and they land Bush.

McBoog Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I think that San Diego could play a big role in what happens with the #1 this year. Yeah, I’m a homer, but look at what could happen. In either case, both NO and HOU need a QB. San Diego has two of them. Bentson claims to have lost $45 million this year and is also know as a cheepskate anyway. He would much rather trade his #1 and get Rivers, under contract, than have to dole out the cash that the #1 overall would demand. Houston also needs a QB, and I could see the Texans interested in a player like Rivers OR Breese. The money saved by signing either is favorable to having to sign the #1 overall. The Boltz are 20 mil under the cap for next year and could sign Bush at #1 and still have money to play with! Though it could be a PR nightmare to lose Breese (I am in the minority, but would prefer to keep Rivers over Drew), the PR bonus by signing the hometown kid (Bush) would balance it out. Could you imagine an offense that puts LT in the backfield, Gates at TE and runs Bush out of the Slot/WR positions? That would be SWEET, and it could happen. Bush could give LT a breather at RB and you don’t lose anything! I know it is a dream, but one that could happen. We’ll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuleBritannia Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I've read several comments in these Bush threads about HOU needing a QB. GET OVER IT. The Texans will be keeping Carr. I don't if that is a good thing or not, but there is no doubt Carr stays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't if that is a good thing or not, but there is no doubt Carr stays. 1240040[/snapback] Agreed. For some reason Carr gets a 'pass' for the terrible seasons whereas Joey Harrington will most likely lose his job in DET. Seems like everyone firmly believes that if Carr had protection, he'd be a great QB. Not sure why, but no way HOU goes after a QB in the first two rounds next year.

And besides if they did go after a QB, I would much rather see them go after Vince Young, someone who wouldnt need as much help from the o-line. I know Vince has said that he was gonna return to UT next year, but he also said he would love to play for his hometown Texans. I think the only reason Harrington gets more flack is because he "supposedly" has more talent at the skill positions. I'm not really buying that, though.

The Vatican Hitsquad Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 First of all, the Saints need a QB, not a RB. Secondly, Houston needs an offensive line, not a QB, RB or WR. They should trade that pick away. I would be willing to take a bet that this incredible hype on Bush never pans out. Not saying bust like Kajanna Carter, but it's way out of hand. This guy will probably not even get into camp on time because his agent will be holding out for the largest contract of all time due to this insane hype being built up around him already. If you read enough or listen to NFL radio long enough, you start to believe they are also awarding a Lombardi Trophy to the team that drafts him.

Chavez Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 nobody would believe that the Saints would draft Bush, so nobody would trade up. 1239659[/snapback] Wrongo, my friend - you trade up to prevent the possibility of someone else trading with the Saints and grabbing the player everyone has an unholy man-crush on. The Saints don't even need to have a trade partner, they just need to blow enough smoke to scare the pants of some team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus, what the hell is wrong with that idiot? he fights fans, he won't follow his team to certain stadiums, he's broke, he's stupid...seriously...

Not sure why, but no way HOU goes after a QB in the first two rounds next year. 1240065[/snapback] Harrington makes terrible decisions. Carr has bad habits, due to having no time to search for open recievers. Carr drops back, and like the mouse getting shocked when he goes for the cheese, Carr dumps it to the first designed option in the play. He never has time to look for that second option, and if he actually gets, he doesn't know it, because he's already dumped it due to instincts. Carr is always smiling and optomistic, never blames anyone and that's awesome for someone who's been sacked like a prom date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
