Random QB thought......

[Cbz40]

I for one would like to see ..... as some would say......how the Henson project plays out.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

It appears Harrington and possibly Carr's careers may be over after this season. If Houston has first pick...they may take Leinart...

Would you trade for either one of these guys as back up to Bledsoe and give a chance? Say a Henson trade straight up...or something very reasonable.

If they are getting rid of them, they should not be overly expensive with their career stats in the tank.

If yes, who would you take?

My logic...if we feel Henson is not going anywhere, then why not take a chance on a player that has had 4 years of starting time...maybe just need a change with a real oline and coach. Now I will have to add Mariucci is a good QB coach, and Joey should not have any excuses...

1st off, the coaches have no idea how Henson will fare in the future, and his contract length, stipulates that they can wait a couple more years to find out, don't think we make a move on the QB, and 2ndly, to support that claim, is that with what all Detroit and Houston invested on, and spent so much time on, Harrington and Carr, that they would want a pretty penny in return for them, such as a 2nd, at least, cuz why would anyone want to trade for them if they're so bad? wouldn't want Harrington if I had to make a choice though, reminds me of a slightly-more mobile Tim Couch

i would rather have Quincy Carter over Joey Harrington, as far as Carr goes, i think he can still be a good QB, but there is something that bothers me about trading with Houston for another one of their QB's. so i wouldnt do it, if Bledsoe plays as good as he has so far this year, and the rest of the way, i can see us keeping him around one more year, by then i hope a future starter is here backing him up. i dont think its Romo or Henson.

 

[BlueWave]

No way we trade for either. A trade would mean the we take on their base salaries, which, are probably among the top paid QB's in the NFL. Do you want to pay that for a backup project. Not a chance in the world.

Now, if they are released, and clear waivers (which they will with those salaries) then maybe you give at least Carr a look. But, I kind of doubt it. I really think they like Romo. I think everyone (around the league) likes Romo. I really think he will be given first shot.

 

[Uh-Oh]

Gotta agree that Carr would be my pick. The poor guy deserves to go somewhere where he at least gets SOME protection.

I agree. David Carr still has upside. The Texans do not.

 

[junk]

Technically, Carr is a FA after the year. The Texans have to pick up an option on him. If they decide to draft a QB or go another direction, he may be on the street anyway.

Personally, I wouldn't trade for either one, but might think about Carr if he was a FA and willing to agree to a relatively modest deal.

However, I think Bledsoe is going to be the guy for at least 2006 and I'd like to see what Romo/Henson can bring to the table as well.

 

[Yeagermeister]

Of the two I'd take Carr but why would the Texans take Henson for him. They drafted him as trade bait.

 

[Tristan]

Abetter senario IMO would be if Houston got the top pick, is for us to try to trade up and get Leinart if they decide to stay with Carr. If not, I agree with trading down or out to try to get two first rounders the follwing year, this would give us another season to gauge Hensons progress and then if he doesn't pan out we would be in position to move up and select Vince Young or Brady Quinn. Or if Henson shows great improvement we would be in a great position to add some recievers since this years crop is weak IMO but next years crop could be speciall with possibly Dale Jarret of USC or Calvin Johnson of G.T. not to mention Tedd Gin Jr. of OSU.

 

[JackMagist]

I would not trade Henson. I think he was showing some improvement over the course of training camp and will be vastly improved next preseason. He is running the scout team as the #3 QB so he is getting a lot of work with his mechanics and should be comfortable with them by next TC. That will be the acid test for him; if he doesn't seem to "get it" next year THEN I will start entertaining thoughts of trading him. But to get rid of him now is a waste of a lot of time and effort that we have invested in him.

As for Harrington and Carr; I'd take Carr for cheap if he hit the market but would not trade for him. Harrington is a waste of space and air as far as an NFL player and I would NOT want him to come to the Cowboys under any circumstances.

 

[Qwickdraw]

If I had to pick the lesser of the 2 evils... (Carr or Harrington)...
I'd go with Carr.

I don't care for either but Harrington has been given every chance to succeed (good O-Line, great WRs, etc.) and has failed.

Carr spends too much time on his back to get a good read on but he has shown some ability there.

 

[big dog cowboy]

I would rather go with the Bledsoe/Romo/Henson project another year.

to many good qb's avaiblie in the draft you could see vince young out of texas this year mcneil out of a&m stanton out of MSU and of course the USC qb

and the only good one in the draft is Leinert....and maybe Croyle
unless Quinn comes out early which I doubt. So about 3 good QBs in the draft.
Do you really think Young will be able to scramble like that in the pros? He sure isn't going to beat an NFL defense with his arm. Same for McNeil. If you want a scrambling QB for a backup....take Brad Smith out of Missou, he'll be the same thing only way cheaper.

Hmmm. The 49ers could have waited one year for Matt Leinart or David Carr, and taken Cadillac Williams at #1. Instead the went with the shotgun specialist.

But then again, hindsight is always 20/20.

Good point.

Hindsight or not, anyone coulda seen that ahead of time.

Some of these teams' draft selections amaze me.
Can I plese get a paycheck to draft players for a living?
I guarantee I hit on more than some of these morons.

vince young recently stated his intention is to return to UT for another year. and, yes, i FULLY expect him to "scramble like that in the pros". his legs are an NFL-worthy weapon. how is this not obvious? as far as his ability as a passer goes - he has shown definite progress.

keep in mind these college QBs are drafted based on potential and not because they are viewed as a "finished product".

 

[Arch Stanton]

I'd send Romo to Houston for Carr.

I'm not sure that Henson would want to "go back" to Houston anyway.

If the 49ers had a crystal ball and could see into the future they still wouldn't of drafted Cadillac. They likely would of drafted Braylon Edwards.

:laugh2:
They need to get over the Search fot the next Jerry Rice. Time to follow the rest of the league and start with a running attack.
