At least Savage was benched. Now you can see what your new QB can do...while Denver re-signed Osweiler....My fantasy football?
My Texans don't suck! How is that for a fantasy? So,what do I win for having the best fantasy?
The bright side is I wont be able to watch the games this season anyway so.... at least I won't be too upset at missing the games of this eternal punchline of the NFL. (Yes, I love my team but Im burnt out by hope.... only to consistently see a team that isn't prepared enough to be on a peewee field let alone an NFL one . Yes, after last season, I'm a bit jaded.) I wish it were a coach issue or even a player issue.....but nope... I dont see Rick Smith going anywhere anytime soon, sadly.
Well, even IF Watson is the upgrade.... its doubtful he is worth two first rounds etc. (Calculating the cost to rid us of Osweiler and to trade up to get him.) I don't hate that Watson is on the team....just think we over paid drastically. Honestly, i thought the "Savage is our man" idea made no sense.At least Savage was benched.

If Savage is our man, WHY give up 2 first rounds? Especially when the QB pool is supposed to be so deep next year (Going off what I hear, I don't watch college ball cause I don't care who wins, same reason I only watch Texan games or games where the outcome effects my Texans.) so to trade all that just to sit the man when "we got our guy" makes the desperation move to get Watson nonsense. (Even though I knew Watson would be starting this season) I understand sitting a QB to learn... but that only REALLY applies IF there is a QB to learn from.... a PM, Brady.... etc. NOT a Savage.
I know its one game, but to be stomped by the Jags so handily (as I have heard, like I said I can't watch the games.)
doesn't leave much hope for the season at all. Honestly as I said, Im jaded after last season so a part of my fandom just doesnt care so the time away will do me some good .... just as long as the Titans don't take the division Im happy for this season.
As for Os....ouch.
Again, I understand sitting a rookie QB to learn, but thats only if you have someone that they can be mentored through as they ride the bench.... Tom Savage is NOT going to be your Yoda so sitting Watson is pointless. You have only one option, find out what the rookie has.I guess time will tell about whether or not he was worth the two draft picks, but I get Houston wanting to allow Tom Savage to start. He managed the offense well enough to get into the playoffs last season and actually get a playoff win, and it doesn't normally work out well when a rookie QB starts right off the bat. Really the only reason they got a TD on Watson's first drive was because of multiple automatic 1st down penalties against Jacksonville.
Also, people still look at Jacksonville like they are a joke, but their defense is legit this year. And they have a great running game to boot, so I knew they were going to win some games coming into the season.

IF Tom Savage was your "answer" for the season, there was ZERO reason to desperately seek a QB in the off season by giving up a first draft pick to move up in the draft and getting rid of Os even isn't a needed move. I saw NOTHING last season that said Tom was ready. Its how I knew Watson would see his start this season. I figured Savage would either suck as he has (looking better than Os does not mean good enough to start)..... or he would do mediocre (at best) and get injured.....either way.... Watson would play.
As I said, the support of Watson leans heavily on "He is a winner", but then they also said the same about Vince Young.... The man hasn't done anything that even hints at being worth the cost paid for him (Im not saying he is trash, just not sold that he is the long term answer, an upgrade to Savage for sure, but weither that's because there isn't enough game film to study on him to efficiently game plan, if his legs save him cause of our horrible O-line or if he is actually good is yet to be seen. So again...... play him or the off season moves make no sense.
I didnt say they were a joke, but to get run over on both sides in game one and look so clueless against a division rival is a rather bleak sign. You know this. Has nothing to do with the Jaguars, they have ALWAYS played us harder as is the case with MANY teams in the NFL playing against a division rival.
The Titans (as much as I hate them) and Jaguars are improved, everyone knows this. (The Jags have been vastly improved on paper for a couple seasons now but have remained the Jaguars so they only managed to disappoint their fans, its about time they show that talent on the field.) but again..... to be steam rolled on both sides of the ball and be completely unprepared is a Texans tradition. THAT is what angers me, NOT that it was the Jags that beat us.
Yay I'm about to be 3-0!
@Paulie079 is becoming a Broncos fan! I love it! He has more Broncos than I do! I knew you'd come to your senses eventually
