And The Last Shall Be...Second? Alex Brink Signs!

Alex Brink had a more accomplished college career than Boyd – and from everything I read Boyd isn’t a “pocket passer”. Unless Kubes has visions of breaking out the playbook from Jake the Snake’s days in Denver, I don’ t see Shane making the team.

Is that wrong of me?

Yeah, I don’t buy that whole thing either… I just did a little bit on this as well, and I don’t recall Kubes ever saying anything about Boyd. Looks like the #3 job is Brink’s to lose.

the thing i keep wondering is what kind of contract Brink signed. if he ends up on the practice squad, is this contract worth anything? i guess he’d keep whatever signing bonus, but if they try to move him to the practice squad, he has to pass through waivers first.

If Brink was not drafted until the 7th round he may clear waivers, but if he has the potential Kubes sees, then give him the #3 job and groom him for the future. Sage may well be gone after next year, and good teams are always grooming a young QB for the future. His college career shows that he has the talent to potentially succeed in the NFL. If Schaub survives the first half unscathed and it appears that our chances for the playoffs are not good then we should look to move Sage for a #3 pick (or better hopefully) to a contending team that needs a QB insurance policy. If, however, we play up to our ability as a team and have a tangible chance for the postseason, then it would be hard to rationalize dealing Sage with no experienced backup. If that scenario plays out, we maybe get nothing for Sage if he leaves, but it would be worth it to all the fans to see the thrill of playing meaningful games late in the season fighting for a playoff spot.

Here’s hoping that Schaub stays healthy, Brink is the QB of the future and the Texans are in the playoff hunt this year. GO TEXANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is right after week 6.
