Jordan Black

So you guys snagged Jordan Black from the Chiefs more than willing hands. For a little primer, check out this Jordan Black thread from my favorite Chiefs message board.

Jordan Black was not that successful or very popular in Kansas City. He isn't especially good but he can play basically any position on the offensive line, save center. But you get what you pay for. You guys didn't over pay for Black and considering your current state of the offensive line, I would consider any decent player (which Black is) coming in would create some healthy competition.

This isn't a blockbuster signing by any means. I'm sure the Texans knew what they were getting in Black and for the time being, he seems to be an improvement over what you have now so you can't fault the Texans for signing him.

Crap
Thanks for the link, Chris.  I only got through the first two pages of the thread, but I sensed two fairly uniform themes:
  1.  Jordan Black is not good.
  2.  The Texans were foolish to pay him more than the price of a pack of gum.
Should be interesting to see how it shakes out.  That said, I think you nailed it:  Any decent player coming in is likely an improvement over what we've got.  Thanks again.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...

Re: Turnstile
That's simply classic.  We've seen some truly ugly football at Reliant for the past few years, so I for one cannot wait to see if Black can continue our storied "tradition."

Still an Improvement
I'm not talking about Black's playing ability.

It's an improvement in the fact that the Texans did not over-pay him.

We sort of have a history of doing some very, very silly contracts.

{Cue Scott's defense of C.C.}

We can be critical of the draft picks, but in the end we always support the new Texan.
