Should the Texans get Vince Young or Reggie Bush? and why?

Vince Young is awesome. He single-handed defeated Troy. He will definitely be the first pick.

Reggie Bush, there's no doubt in my mind that he'll be a better pro. Vince Young is all hype, and doesn't have the proper delivery for a pro QB...that will need to be corrected. Bush reminds me an awful lot of Marshall Faulk (Rams), and I think he'll have just as successful a career. If Houston passes on him with the first pick, they'll be making a terrible mistake.

If the Texans dont draft Reggie Bush that would be crazy. He address several positions that they were miserable at last year. He can be a RB, WR, PR, KR. Their special teams were miserable so having him as a returner would great for them. He was an unbelievable RB at USC, without a doubt the greatest college football player I have ever seen in my lifetime which spans almost 21 years. He did everything he could to make a big play, and most of the time he succeeded. He would go just as high as a WR in this draft according to Mel Kiper Jr. I watched him all season long seeing as USC was normally the only team on in Ohio after 10:00pm. Reggie Bush is a phenominal athlete, a great kid, and without a doubt not only what the Texans need to give a true offensive threat at all positions...but he is what every team needs. No matter what team he played for he would be a great player. I mean, the plays he made, I have never seen anythig like. I remember watching that USC-Fresno St. game and seeing him stop on a dime on the sideline and cut it back across the field and saying to myself..."Holy ****, that might be the play of the year." He e is without a doubt, the best college player I have ever seen which means he is the only player worthy of being drafted #1 to the Houston texans\n\n\nNow granted, the Texans offensive line i aweful, but D'Brickashaw Ferguson is not someone you could take with a #1 overall pick, besides the fact most good O-lineman are guys drafted in later round sof the draft. Mario Williams is a great talent at the DE position, but the Texans can draft a guy later in the draft to play D-line. A first pick DE scares me because the last DL to go #1 overall in the draft...Courtney Brown drafted to the Cleveland Browns in the 2001 NFL Draft and he was a miserable player with Cleveland.

Mario Williams vs Julius Peppers is like asking if Vince Young is going to be as good as Tom Brady. The rooks are both really hyped, but hype is just a bunch of hot air once you get on the field.\n\nFWIW the Texans are changing from the 34 to the 43 and were in need of a good pass rushing DE, they did what everyone for the last 4 years has been saying and addressed their needs.

While Reggie Bush is explosive, great, dynamite, all the adjectives you can use, he will be splitting carries with Deuce McAllister who is still a quality back. Look for someone like Vince Young (if he gets the starting job) or AJ Hawk to be in the running. Both played full-time at their colleges, and did not play half the time with someone else (Reggie Bush and LenDale White). These two guys will have great rookie seasons, but my pick is Vernon Davis. He'll be the no. 1 target for Alex Smith starting in the first game and expect a lot of catches/TD's to go along with a Rookie of the Year award.

Presuming he enters the draft, I say the 49ers. The Texans may get the first pick, but they already have a decent RB in Domanick Davis. They'd probably trade down and draft Ferguson, the juggernaut offensive lineman. Houston needs protection up front. If that happens, the Niners have no reason not to pick Reggie Bush. I'm sure a lot of fans down there will go crazy if they land him.

Well, it should be interesting, to say the least, when the Texans take (presumably) Reggie Bush with the #1 pick, passing on Young. Because, by taking Bush, they imply "we have the utmost confidence in David Carr to lead us" and I wonder how. When has Carr shown he can effectively lead that offense and how will the addition of one star (Bush) change it?

The Houston Texans said last week that they wanted to make sure whoever they drafted would be in camp on time. They did not believe that Reggie Bush's agent would accept their contract offer. Since they had Mario Williams rated almost equal and his agent was easier to deal with they knew they could get a deal done right away. Also the Texans have several good running backs and an awful pass rush. Now they have filled one of the key spots with the highest rated defensive lineman to come around in many years.

That is a good notion but for a team that is ready for the playoffs like the broncos or dolphins. The Texans are years from a playoff game(and playoff money) so they are rebuilting and a high price DT or OT from a playoff team with money isnt gonna help the rebuilting process. Plus a QB takes at least a year to forget the college system and Take in the new system unless your(kyle orton) i think if RB Davis had been 2 years older(5thyear) the choice would had been clearer.(B~U~S~H)..but i guess it was smokey...lol Also so vince taking 2 years to get ready would have cause a riot in Texas!Carrs life would have been in danger! But Here's my thing if your gonna stay with Carr, protect him!! and help the running back out in two ways...less men in the box cuz of a pass game and better run blocking up front They got 2 good vets and the rest are weak or draft picks......trust me they'll take a RB or M.Bush or a WR next year and they still be i the 1-5  draft slot..they got lucky in the third and some good OTs...ok i get it now!!!! Losing is there plan.. I mean that just has to be it cause anything else just seems silly!!!\n\nthey signed three vets\nSalaam, Ephraim T 6'07'' 295 06/19/1976 9 San Diego State \nFlanagan, Mike C 6'05'' 301 11/10/1973 9 UCLA \nWiegert, Zach G 6'05'' 309 08/16/1972 12 Nebraska \nand the all might been hurt at the end of the season!!!

Let's put it this way....if the Texans had selected Bush and he ended up stinking up the joint (doubtful) or having a career ending injury (never know), no one ever would have criticized them for making the wrong pick, even if Mario Williams turned out to be a stud.  I can almost guarantee that there will be other defensive ends in the draft that will do really well.  But if Mario Williams ends up being only slightly above average while Bush becomes a star, the Texans will never hear the end of it.  It will be much like the teams who passed on Michael Jordan.  There is going to be A LOT of pressure on Mario Williams.\n\nWith all that said, I agree that the Texans need defensive help probably more than offensive.  I respect the decision. But the Saints didn't need Reggie Bush either.

I agree with you 100%!  Vince Young is the most overrated QB going into the draft.  I am not a USC fan, nor a Texas fan, however watching both of these QB's play over the course of the season, Matt Leinart is by far the better QB!  He runs a very uniqe and NFL like system at USC, which will better prepare him for the NFL then Young's "oh, nobody is open so ill run the ball," style offense.  He has a horrible release and is too "me" orriented.  Leinart can read defenses, pick up blitz packages and audible calls when needed.  He knows the hot routes and where his receivers will be all the time.  Also, he has the mechanics.  \n\nThe only reason Vince Young has so much hype over him going into the draft, is because they did beat USC in the Rose Bowl.  (although USC played like crap!)  If I were a GM in need for a QB, 1st choice would be Leinart, 2nd Cutler and Kellen Clemens from Oregon over Young!  Thats not a stab at Clemens, hes amazing!  He just got screwed over by getting injured half way through the season.  I also think he would make a better QB over Young.  \n\nYoung will be a bust, just wait and see!

I think many Houston and Texas people are upset because they didn't get Bush.  Here is my positive theory:\nIf the Texans wanted to get short-term ticket sales, they would have gotten Bush.  If they even want to consider winning a superbowl within the next 5 years, they took Mario Williams. Bush is more talented, but the Texans already have a running back-Domanick Davis.  By the way the guy who answered the question b4 me, it's reggie bush not willaims....you may have made a mistake. and the Jet's Suck!!! I am a Pat fan!!!!!!!!

I live in Houston. And I'm pretty sure the Texas will mess up either way. They did it with the Oilers and will do it again with this draft pick. Fan base here wants Young if he goes pro, but bush will do if he doesnt. Its time to trade in the old beat up carr. We want YOUNG!

They obviously went with a need pick. Their DL last year was pretty bad. Not picking Bush means that Domanick Davis IS healthy. It's a tough call, would you take Bruce Smith or Marshall Faulk in their prime? I'm just glad Houston didn't take Bush cuz I wanna see Reggie play for many, many years. Houston now has Kubiak which has installed Denver's offense. Denver's offense is harsh on RBs. RBs don't usually last there.

Houston has a good young QB in Carr, a good your receiver in Johnson, and a good young RB in Davis. Logically, I would say trade down and build up the bigger needs at OL and defense in order to build a more complete team. However, Reggie Bush may be a once in a generation type of player and whatever team passes on him may be looked on historically as we do the Portland Trailblazers for passing on Michael Jordan.

Earl Campbell got me interested into the longhorns. the way he played was outstanding. Also Ricky Williams. Even though now he is having problems and is suspended again, he was still arguably the best running back ever in college football. The best game that I saw the the longhorns play was against USC. All those people that said Reggie will destroy them didn't know nothing about longhorns football. Plus you never go bet against Vince Young in a Championship Game or stage. This year they will still be in the hunt for another championship. They still have Jamal Charles, Ramonce Taylor, Billy Pittman and Limus Sweed on offense.

I would say Vince Young.\n\nHe's got a good arm that will get him to Stollworth and Horn, and he's not afraid to try to make things happen, as he showed in the BCS finals.\n\nNew head coach Sean Payton was a QB Coach, and I think they are going to want to see a QB like Young who is quick on his feet to take the reigns from Aaron Brooks (who seemed pretty much done last season) and go for something more like Brooks' more effective cousin, Michael Vick.
