    Suppose you are GM of the Houston Texans

    As a GM you are looking for a QB and you have the first pick in the 2014 draft. Washington offers you Robert Griffin for the #1 pick. Would you make the trade?

    No way in hell. The guy is an injury machine. But HOU needs a QB and I don't have any better suggestions.

    I've been rolling this one around in my mind. Any chance Cutler enters the conversation? Just spit balling here.

    Why in the hell would Houston flip the #1 pick for RGIII and his sketchy knee? If they're intent on landing a quarterback with the top pick, then it's either Johnny Football or Bridgewater, not damaged goods coming off a massive sophomore slump.

    But they might just take Clowney, and address the qb situation by some other means.

    Teddy is an excellent qb prospect , no way id pass on him. What free agent qbs are outthere now anyhow that can actually carry a team? Not many if any.

    Cutler is a FA, but CHI may tag him. Vick is a FA, use him as a rental for one year to kick the can down the road?

    I wouldn't touch RG3 with a first round pick, let alone a first overall pick. Give me Bridgewater, and I wasn't 100% on him till about a week ago. I'd also rather have Carr, Bortles, and Manziel over RG3 at this point.

    trade the pick and get more picks or bolster your roster with other players. there is no qb that will change your team worth the number #1 pick. clowney is good but its the same bullshitt as the other guy they got, now he is gone. you do not win with number #1 picks, you win with a strong team top to bottom, and smart coaching staff, and a qb that chooses not to throw pick sixes.

    Just got a tweet:

    Texans owner willing to trade out of number 1 to get a qb plus a defensive player

    Guy had excellent talent around him and played a shit schedule.

    The NFL is all about consistency. You need to basically throw 2TD 1INT or better per week. Yeah he played a few good games but his schedule was shit.

    ESPN keeps pumping his 31TD and 4INT. OK, what about a D2 QB with D1 talent that throws for 50TD and 2 INT, would you say he's better?
