I'd rather lose him than Wade.

Perhaps. The Raiders haven't acquired a QB in a few months so they are due.

Looks to be official now...

Knapp was only a quarterbacks coach in Houston, but the Texans did finish the 2011 regular season tied for the NFL lead in rushing attempts.

So the QB coach gets credit for establishing the running game? Cool! Even if that is a little like praising the beer vendors for the quality of the bottles.

Knapp should get kudos (along with Kubiak and the OC) for developing Yates so quickly. IMO, we don't need Leinart now that Yates has playoff experience. Let Leinart follow Knapp to Oakland. I'm content to have Yates as the #2 and maybe take a flier on another low-round QB as the #3.

Speaking of QBs, did anyone else see Jerome Solomon's article saying we should go for manning? Intriguing.

I also saw a poll from the Senior Bowl where they asked all the players who they would prefer to play for and the Texans were the number one answer.

It is officially the offseason and with the anticipation and the way the season ended it will probably be the longest offseason yet for me.
