YESSSSS, 8 hours late.

I guess I should learn how to use the SEARCH forums option.

hmmmmm,, how about the Texans fixing that so called LINE ,, that would help any QB they have more than Peterson

That's for sure. Peterson would be killed at Texans. No blocking and stand up style not good idea.

Texans need an OL.

He's no Brett Favre...LOL! But I kind of see your point, we'll see...

No but they and Tampa Bay are the only teams to ever trade away a HOF quarterback for peanuts. (The Colts dumped Elway but that was Elway's doing)

I personally don't believe for a second that Shaub will be better than Carr...no way, no how.

it wouldnt take a whole hell of alot

Here are the particulars of Schaub's new deal:

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/4649552.html

Schaub, whose trade to the Texans will be officially announced today, has signed a six-year contract worth $48 million, including $7 million guaranteed. He will make $20 million over the first three years.

If the Texans want to keep Schaub for the last three years of the deal, they will pay him the $10 million option bonus in March 2010. In March 2006, they gave David Carr an $8 million option bonus that extended his contract for three more years.

Not bad for a career backup. If this doesn't pan out, the Texans are well and truly screwed for the forseeable future.
