Houston Texans: Reeves to Replace Casserly?
Well, my contacts (I admit that I have very few in sports) tell me that Dan Reeves' visit to Houston this past year was no accident. "Advisor" Reeves is rumored to be the long expected replacement for Charley Casserly.
The source says that Casserly will remain the titular head of the team for the next several months, but that Reeves will be "eased in" to the front office position. This is the best news since Kubiak's selection.
In other news, it is also rumored that the "big choice" will fall primarily to Kubiak. Reportedly Mr. McNair has decided to allow Coach Kubiak to have his pick.
For my money, I would rather have a classic "pocket quarterback" like USC's Matt Leinart and drop the extra money on additional protection up front. A team without an effective offensive line will always be a loser.
Yes it's true that both Vince Young and Reggie Bush are great players, but it's a cinch that Bush, like all other "great" running backs, will not be able to run against the pros the way he ran in college ball, so the potential is there but there are no guarantees.
As for Vince Young, I know he's "bigger, faster, stronger, breaks the mold, etc." We've heard this over and over with McNabb, then with McNair, then with Vick, and now with Vince Young.
So far, the "Superman Quarterback" paradigm has yet to have panned out. Super Bowl teams have pocket quarterbacks with great throwing motions. They can still be big and strong and mobile, but they have to have a great arm.
Now I don't claim to be a great football sage, and any and all of these guys could prove me wrong. I do know that whatever happens, it's going to be a great and exciting time in Houston Texan's Football.
