But a guy that has 4 years learning from peyton has to be better than a rookie right?

Not sure i could have done that financial commitment though for a guy with a 1/2 of a season starting experience.

That's what I mean...they used their first ever pick on Carr and then traded for Schaub.  They drafted Yates and Savage super-late, so really they've made one single high-draft for a QB.

Texans' picks used for QBs

Savage - 135
Yates - 152
Alex Brink (who the hell is this guy?) - 223 (oh, that explains it)
BJ Symons - 248 (see above)
Dave Raggone - 88
Drew Henson - 192
David Carr -1

That is their history of QB drafts.  One #1 overall pick for a brand new franchise with no o-line and that's about it.  I'm not saying Brock is the right or wrong move, it's just not surprising they haven't found a QB in the draft because they really aren't giving themselves a chance to find one.
