Cerrato traded back when we took Kelly, Davis and whatshisname. So what? Trading back isn't exactly the mark of genius.
2011 was a good draft year. So what? We went 5-11 and still have the worst QB stable in football.

You said Houston got better after Kyle left. And I don't see where you have substantiated that claim anywhere. Now you are saying they didn't miss him until key players went down. Doesn't make much sense.
I never said trading back made you a good team and giving picks up was always bad. What I was trying to show was that during Cerrato's reign of terror we were near the bottom of the league in number of picks because of his propensity to trade away picks for old vets who were hyped but didn't deliver. What did that give us? An old, old team with not much of a future and no picks left to reload with.
2011 was a good draft year. One of the only ones in quiet some time. When you have as many problems as Cerrato left you aren't going to fix everything in one season and turn it around to a playoff team. I believe we do have one of the worst QB situations right now but that is most likely because the staff did not like the people they evaluated last year enough to go get them and saw other positions where they could get the best value to fill much needed holes. Rome wasn't built in a day. You are too near-sighted. Look at the big picture.
