Watson needs some polish, but he looked good overall. He looked poised and shook off mistakes and made plays after that. He's running against 3rd stringers so I'm not ready to anoint him just yet. Timing and accuracy are still issues. I'd be happy with him being a slightly better version of Russell Wilson.

I still want Savage to start for now. Watson needs time to develop. The potential is there though.

Watson looks to be the real deal. Savage is going to have to play lights out to keep that starting slot.

They said that shit last year about the other team in Texas last august, iirc. Until the inferior, white, pocket statue, veteran got injured.

Savage starting all year will net you a top 3 pick though.

For good reason.

I said he played well. What the fuck else do you want?

He stands flat footed in the pocket. He locks in on his first read. He's overthrowing receivers. He needs reps and time. He would get a harsh reality if he started right now. I'll gladly eat crow if he does develop, but right now he needs to get acclimated to the game at the pro level.

Would you have preferred he sucked vs 2nd and 3rd stringers just to prove a point? :lol

To me he passed the eye test vs scrubs, let him start next game vs/with starters to see how he holds up. I know TS is yo boy and you want him to do well but he's just another guy...a placeholder.

He didn't come close to passing the eye test.:lol If he would have come out and dominated a bunch of players that likely will on practice squads I'd see a reason to start him the next game and see what he can do against real NFL players.

None of this matters tbh. Savage will start the opener and will be the guy until he fails or gets hurt. Looking at the schedule, I would think Watson fanboi's would prefer this. Savage takes the fall and Watson gets to come in as the schedule gets easier.

Savage won't end the season as the Texans QB.

Mobile QB's extend plays, put added stress on a defense, that is where the position is heading.

15 play drive while demonstrating pocket awareness, standing strong vs pressure and still delivering passes on the money is not passing the eye test? :lol Were you drunk again RC? :lol

I agree. Savage is not a franchise guy..

But, if you honestly think that. You should want Watson in as soon as possible. To see if he can be that guy. Give him time to learn a good portion of the playbook and throw him in the fire. See what he can do.

Actually, keeping Savage in there benefits the Texans in more ways than just allowing Watson time to develop. If he keeps playing well and has a good year Houston could wind up with a nice compensatory pick when he gets signed away by another team. In league that is so QB starved, he could wind up with a nice deal.

I want the player that gives the Texans the best chance to win. If that is Savage, he'll prove it by getting through a tough early schedule. If he fails or gets hurt Watson will get his shot. There's no real losing scenario by rolling with Savage.

10 years ago I would agree with you. Hell, even 5 years ago.

Nowadays high 1st Round QBs get playing time sooner rather than later. Every time Houston loses a game or Savage throws an INT people will start screaming for Watson. And it's not just the fans. It'll be high front office members also. They'll start lobbying for Watson playing time. It's their jobs on the line.

...and a lot of those guys flame out. Just go though and look at the list of first round QBs since 2007 and look at all the lack of success. Some of that is reaching on marginally talented players, but some of it is the failure spread QBs to adapt to the pro game. Houston can't afford to fuck this up. They've paid a high price for Watson and having him fail because he's not ready would be a huge setback. Thankfully, they are set up with a situation most of those other teams didn't have...a QB who has already spent several years in their system and can(hopefully) give them the time they need to let Watson get where he needs to be. I was pissed on draft night, but from everything I've read Watson is a smart kid that eats/sleeps/breathes football. There's a good chance he could be ready to go by mid year.

O'Brien has heaped praise on him and has shown he has no problem pulling a QB if the results aren't there. As I said, it's win/win.

Lol wtf is rush on? Besides painkillers

Kaeps kneeling at the anthem has been a pretty big story for a year and apparently still is one. Nfl network reports every time a player kneels now :lol

He certainly has had an historical impression, and his name will be brought up a decade from now for the same reason. Any time you have a situation with the national anthem in sports, even 20 years from now, people will mention kaepernick

The historical significance isn't really deniable. You can disagree with his actions all you want, but whether or not he's "right" or "wrong" has no bearing in whether or not it's of historical significance

Rush, and as a result, you, seem to think a museum exhibit is the same thing as an honor/award.
