More Brett Favre Madeup News: He's Not a Good Fit for the Texans

As you can't have enough Brett Favre news that is opined out of someone's rear end, Bill Williamson of ESPN recently wrote a list of the top potential destinations for the questionably retired quarterback. The alliterative headline of his piece reads: "Ravens, Texans, Bucs finer fits for Favre." Why the Texans?

The Texans are on the verge of good things, but they are not exactly settled at quarterback. Sage Rosenfels is waiting in the wings should Matt Schaub have issues. If Favre were available, then Texans coach Gary Kubiak, a quarterback lover, would be tempted."

I guess it is nice for Williamson to acknowledge that the Texans are a team with potential, but his one paragraph synopsis of the Texans quarterback situation and Kubiak's thought processes is way off.

The Texans salary cap situation is a little tight, and I just don't see the Texans wanting to spend their money on an old distracting quarterback rental. The Texans quarterback situation is one of the stronger positions on the team, so why would they throw money at that when they have other needs? Too bad Favre isn't a cornerback.

As the Mario Williams draft pick illustrates, the Texans aren't interested in picking players for marketing reasons. Kubiak is putting together a team that is committed to his offseason program and is not all about one player. He likes position competition on his team because he thinks it makes players better, but he also realizes that the quarterback position is a little different, that you have to pick the one guy to lead your team.

So why would Kubiak be interested in the It's All About Brett Show? I like Favre, but no matter where he goes, he is going to be the story of that team whether he wants to or not.

Anyone who wants to manufacture a quarterback controversy between Matt Schaub and Sage Rosenfels doesn't pay attention to the way that Gary Kubiak likes to handle his quarterbacks. And anyone who believes that Brett Favre would be a good fit for the Texans is smoking something or making stuff up or smoking something while making stuff up.
