Should the Texans get Manning

You're kidding me right? Vickers did what full backs need to do best. RUN BLOCK. A full back gets maybe 1 pass per weekend thrown at them. (Assuming tight ends are healthy)

I'm not kidding at all. Casey stepped into Vickers' roll for a few games this season and had no problem whatsoever blocking for his RB. I'm pretty sure my previous post was quite clear. Casey can block AND catch which makes him an even bigger threat than "I've got cinder blocks for hands" Vickers.

Not exactly. The thread is opinion based, simply asking if the Texans SHOULD go after Manning or not as opposed to WILL they go after him. Whether or not they do doesn't mean people can't continue to give their opinion.
Although I believe they should have gone after him, I hope they at least considered it. If he goes to the Titans and they beat us twice next year, the Texans are gonna have some questions to answer and all the Media drama (2nd to the Titans facing the Colts) to go with it.

Why do you say that? The only people who think Mario is overrated are Texans fans. I can understand expecting a ton due to being a first overall pick, but he has been good. The only real knock on him is his injury history.
My personal opinion is that even if the Texans were in the position to pay him (which they weren't), the right decision would be to let him go. It's not because he isn't good, but I just don't see many people being worth that kind of money. But I don't see how a Texans fan can just not care, and not be bummed out a little bit.
I also think you are underrating Vickers. He is a good strong fullback with good vision. You shouldn't care if he has brick hands, he just needs to be used as a blocker. I definitely think he is better than Casey. I am happy my Cowboys got him to replace Fiametta. Very under the radar signing. All that being said, I don't think the Texans will miss him too much. You could probably put Jacoby out there blocking for Foster being that O line running the ZBS, and Foster would do just fine.

Vickers is easily replaceable.
Good God. Please don't mention Jacoby. He sucks donkey *****. How he's still on the team is beyond me.

I don't care about Williams going because Brooks Reed stepped in last season and picked up 9.5 sacks. Williams hadn't had over 8 sacks since the 2008 season. He's just not worth that money.

Disagree on Vickers.
And the hate for Jacoby and his incompetence is why I used him as an example. I don't think he will be on the team much longer. The Texans have got to draft a replacement for him. With Andre's rubber band hamstrings, they need to have a WR that can come in and play without much drop off when Andre inevitably goes down. The Texans can easily fill that need within the first 2 rounds, and I would be very disappointed if they didn't if I were a Texans fan. The Texans have desperately needed a solid number 2 for a while now.
That's just sports fans in general. Incredibly negative, reactionary, and emotional. It's irritating sometimes, but that's just the way it is.

Not sure I want someone as incompetent as him doing anything football related period, much less blocking for our star running back.

Imho I think Chicago has the most loyal fans. Then its Dodgers, and green bay.

Dude what fan base doesn't hate on their team if they don't win? Perfect example is the pitsburg pirates. Their fans were literaly protesting, until they held first place throughout the begining of last season, the fans shut up. Most of popular teams fanbase are mostly made up of bandwagon fans. Perfect example: last years Philadelphia eagles, and phillies. Bostons baseball and basketball teams. And the nicks and mets.
