Hey football fans...Do you think the Texans are going to end up with Young or Bush? Why or why not?

Texas has already made it clear that they will stick with bush.  Their quarterback Carr was also the first round pick, just a couple of years ago.  They have gaurunteed him that posistion for the upcomming season.

I like Vince Young.\n\nI'd like to see Albert Einstein play football !!! The boy can play ball, who cares if he is stupid, most of them are anyway.  \n\nI'd take Young over Matt or Cutler any day.  Next to Reggie Bush, he is the best player from this great class.  I like him better than Matt cause even I could have had good numbers quarterbacking at USC - I'd just hand the ball off the Reggie and White every time, big deal - plus he had the best team and best O-line.  Young had crappy running backs.

Houston Nutt. He just seems like he would bring alot more energy to the locker room. Vince Young was the energy of Mac Brown's Longhorns. Brown didnt have anything to do with how pumped those guys were for that game.

only time will tell from this pick, but charlie casserly wanted to draft a defense...\n\nmy opinion: how the hell can you not draft the most dynamic player out of college the last 20 years???\n\nthis should mean that the texans will most likely get the 1st pick overall again, next year 2007!!!

this draft was full of great picks, bad picks, and surprise picks and players getting drafted high and players falling. \nNow i feel we are all in agreement when i say the Texans don't want to win football games, because they passed on Reggie bush. how can you say no to that. so damn stupid, and the whitner pick for bills was high, but if the bills took bunkley or ngata those two players where not good enough to go 8 eighter, and the lions said if the bills didn't take him they would of taken whitner so the bills did good there, and about mccargo Marv Levy saw someone he liked and got him, yes they could of waited, but who knows what could of happened and both of those players will start next year so those are both good picks. \n\ni say the surprise picks of the draft was tambi Hali for the chiefs and the Mathias kiwanuka for the giants, Hali isn't that bad seeing Jared Allen is the best dlinemen for the chiefs, and you can never have enough depth, but the giants had so many other holes, OT,OG,WR,DL,LB,DB de is the last thing they needed with osi, and stranhan i know mike is getting old, but they just needed so much more then Mathias kiwanuka they had justice,ryans,Howard,Jackson,countless numbers of DB i just think they messed up bad there.

Although there are many rumors of the Houston Texans taking Mario Williams with the first pick, they should take Reggie Bush. Reggie Bush has been the consensus #1 pick since the Rose Bowl at the end of his magnificent USC career. Bush put up a very strong performance on his pro day, running well and wowing in the bench press (24 repetitions of 225 pounds). The Texans had a good visit with him after his workout, and the team is expected to start negotiating a contract in the coming days. Houston coach Gary Kubiak told Bush he envisions using the multi-talented star in the same manner the Trojans did – 30-plus touches split between running back, wide receiver and special teams. Obviously, their man is Reggie Bush.

I live in Dallas, and can attest that, yes, a whole lot of people like the Longhorns.  They had one of the greatest fan bases in College Football, and when you add in the Championship Band-wagon fans, then it is insane.  We are three hours away from Austin, and even our whole town turned Burnt Orange last January.  To answer the question, yes, a bunch of people like the Longhorns.  \n\nNow, do I think they will defend their championship this season?  Absolutely not.\n\nThough a little less experienced this year, the 'Horns are still loaded with talent.  Here's my problem though.  Until last season, we all claimed that Mack Brown can't win the "Big Games".  Then, they find victories over Ohio State, Oklahoma, and Southern Cal, and Mack Brown is a genius.  When your offensive scheme is to just let Vince Young do what he wants, that isn't a sign of genius--it's the sign of a talented QB.  Without VY, the 'Horns will return to the second-fiddler's position in the Big XII South.  This will be amply proven on Sept. 9 against Ohio State and October 7 in Dallas against OU.

Happened about 5 hours ago, but yea, its a bad decision on Taxans behalf. If they werent gonna take Reggie, they shoulda got Vince, even though they still wont be winning, he would put butts in the seats. But good news is, with that dumb pick, the Texans will prob have the first pick next year so  they can get the Beast Adrian Peterson(Hopefully) or another good RB.

NO. the game goes to fast for him he has been in the league too long to still be making the mistakes he is making. I am a Texans fan so I will cheer for him. This year is probably his last chance. This is the best team he has had yet. I think he will end up like his fellow draft qb Joey Harrington. A b/u for the rest of his career.

I would think that the general consensus answer would and should be no. No disrespect to Texas, because they had an outstanding year last year, but it is so difficult to repeat. I am a huge Ohio St. fan and I am not just saying that they wont because Texas beat us last year, but being an OSU fan I understand how hard it is. Ohio St. probably could have a few years ago when Clarrett decided to screw up and not play that season. It is hard enough to win 1 national championship, let alone win 2. Thing is, Texas lost a lot from their championship team last year, not just Vince Young. Along with losing Vince Young they lost 12 significant players. The players not returning from last years team, who got drafted include:\n\n\nQB Vince Young (3rd overall pick to Titans)\nS Michael Huff (7th overall pick to Raiders)\nCB Cedric Griffin (48th overall pick to Vikings)\nTE David Thomas (86th overall pick to Patroits)\nOT Jonathan Scott (141st overall pick to Lions)\nDT Rodrique Wright (226th overall pick to Dolphins, and possibly the biggest steal in the entire draft being that he was ranked in the top 5 of DT's and got drafted that late.)\n\n\nThey have  quite a few guys who didnt get drafted either including O Lineman Will Allen, and Mike Garcia. LB's Aaron Harris, and Eric Hall, and their other DT Larry Dibblesand Punter Richmond McGee. \n\nLosing 12 guys from a national championship team is tough including the possible MVP of any team Vince Young who they probably would have been 8-4 without considering that he beat Oklahoma St, Ohio St, and Oklahoma by himself. They have some of the pieces in place by keeping WR Limas Sweed, and breaking in new QB Jevan Snead. They will defintely compete, but all things considered, Oklahoma is loaded this year and will probably win the Big 12 South starting again this year. Texas will not be bad whatsoever though, I see them going maybe 9-3, or 10-2 dropping games to Ohio St week 2 (not a hometown pick either they just have too much offensively) and to Oklahoma considering all that they have coming back, including my pick for the Heisman RB Adrian Peterson. Don't worry Texas fans, you guys will be very good again this upcoming season, trust me I wish Ohio State wasnt playing them, they are still a very scary team.

Yes Reggie Bush is a great player and will be a top running back very soon, but they already got their running back with Davis.  Yes Davis isn't as good as Bush but whats the point of drafting and having two good running backs.  They need help on the Defense and Offense line, that's why they went with Williams, he will help them out alot.  If they would have went with Bush they would have had to pay alot more money for Bush with the number one pick than with Williams at number one, so that could be another reason.  I don't really agree with what they did, but they would have had to try and trade Bush or Davis away, which would have been hard to do

I agree, but even though Houston has no OL Reggie Bush would still put together a 1000 rushing yard and 500 recieving yard season. The Texans are using the excuse that because their in a divison with the Colts they need to stop the Colts, not out score them. One player, exspecially, Mario Williams, can't stop a whole team.

No, the Jets are not going to get Reggie Bush, because the Texans are going to have the #1 draft pick, and they are going to take him.  If they did get him, I believe they would be significantly better as he is a very special player.

I am not of the school that thinks Reggie Bush won't still be a star.  I do.  I think his receiving game and his speed can still make him a top notch running back.  You can't make the statement that juking doesn't work in the NFL.  Barry Sanders made a career of it.  But when you compare Bush's hype to Vince Young's I think it is unfair.  The experts expected far more out of Reggie Bush in year 1 than Vince Young.  I don't think anyone expected Young to be starting in his 1st year.  I also can't jump on the "Vince Young is great" bandwagon.  He basically had one good game.  I think he has to share praise with Travis Henry for the improvement in the run game.  But to answer your question, I think Vince Young has exceeded his expectations and Bush has fallen short.  Even though Bush's expectations were astronomical.

If I'm Houston, I take Reggie Bush for sure. He's a blazer with good hands, and you can't teach either of those skills. Drafting Vince Young might be tempting because of the Texas connection, but they should not  do it.\n\nYoung is an outstanding college quarterback, but he won't be able to have 200/200 games in the NFL. Texas runs their offense out of shotgun, which is not typical of NFL teams. He will have to learn a lot about dropping back before he can be any good in the pros.

Yes, they will win, as they have the two first picks of the NFL draft on their team, in Reggie Bush and Matt Leinart.  They are both very special players, and will be able to beat Texas.  Plus, they have a genius for a head coach, which in my opinion gives them the ultimate edge.  Texas does have Vince Young as quarterback, but I think he is equal to Leinart, so with all that being said, I think USC will be by a touchdown.

Well it depends on where each teams weakpoint is at. You see if you are the Texans you got a good QB in carr but no good running backs, so they would draft bush, but if you are the 49ers then I would  go with Leinert because Alex Smith,(10 int 0TD), enough said.
