WTF? To me, this was as unlikely as a Rumsfeld resignation. I mean what do they want? A new (local) star quarterback with great marketing potential? Take Young. The consensus sure-to-be Hall of Famer? Take Bush. Someone who'll provide key help preventing their current quarterback from being repeatedly beaten to a pulp every week? Take Ferguson. I'm not saying Williams isn't a quality prospect - but #1? And #1 given the particular needs of the Texans? I don't get this at all.
But since I have no interest whatsoever in seeing the Texans prosper - color me thrilled.
