    Bob McNair has made it very well known that he wants to get a real QB. Hoyer and the other guys on the roster are not the answer.

    If I were Philly I would tag Sam Bradford and then trade him for a mother load of picks from the Texans.

    You could probably get McNair to give up a 1st and 2nd this year and then next years 1st plus make him throw in Hoyer.

    So you don't have to pay Bradford silly tag money and you get a bunch of picks to help you rebuild and find the QB that you really want to ride with long term.

    I would not put all my eggs in the Sam Bradford basket, but the Texans are in such need of a QB right now that they probably would.

    The Texans really screwed up not going QB when they had the top pick in the draft.

    Nobody thinks Bradford is worth half of what you're suggesting.

    anything above a 4th round pick would be a disgusting trade for Bradford.

    Probably not, but if you want a starting QB you are going to have to give up a bunch. The Texans have no power in the negotiations which usually means you get screwed in the deal.

    Maybe the Texans try to pry Brees and his huge contract away from the Saints.

    I just feel that Mcnair doesn't want to wait on a rookie 1st rnd QB to develop. He wants a real QB now.

    In free agency you have Fitzpatrick and RG3....not sure either is the answer

    Wouldn't surprise me if they kick the tires on Manziel. Let him "manage" rather than make plays. Plenty of other journeyman if they need to win now.

    lets rattle off QB needy teams.

    Browns
    Rams
    Texans
    Jets?
    Eagles?
    Cowboys?
    Niners?

    3 teams in major need of an upgrade at QB, and 4 more with questions surrounding their current QB's.

    Houston picks 22nd so unless they acquire Brock Osweiler somehow in FA they probably should be looking to move up from 22nd.. But Bradford is not their answer.. If they trade with Philly it should be for that 13th overall so Houston can get a QB that way..

    Yeah that's an absolutely absurd valuation for Bradford.

    I'd rather just take whichever QB falls if I'm the Texans.

    But if they don't want a rookie then they are going to have to way overpay for a QB

    If Philly wanted to bait someone into trading for Bradford then they could put the non-exclusive franchise tag on him. This sets the value as 2 1st rnders if a team just wants to sign him.

    The supply and demand is not good if you need a QB.
