All I know is the owner wanted Johnny Football drafted.Do you think the Browns will let Hoyer walk?

Probably because he's familiar with O'brien's scheme, and feels that at this late point in the season it is especially important. OBrien , then offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Duke coached him his freshman year.
QB Thad Lewis reunited with Bill O'Brien
Thanks for the info and the link. I didn't know O'Brien and Lewis were connected. Looking a little deeper into Lewis' past, he set career passing records at Duke although I have no idea how that offense compares to the one the Texans are running. This is his fifth team. Wonder why he never stuck...?
I'm only on board with bringing Ryan Fitzpatrick back for next season if he can play well in these final five games, and the Texans win them all to sneak into the playoffs with a 10-6 record. If that happens then he deserves it.
I'm not OK with Fitzpatrick coming back if he's going to be the starter... unless every other possible solution falls through. I'm OK with him coming back as the #2 or, preferably, the #3 if we're going to keep 3 and we want him in the QB room with Savage and whoever the #1 guy is.
I would be fine with getting RG III. He should be attainable for a third or even a fourth rounder. He needs good coaching, a fresh start and some confidence. He still has pro bowl talent... But most of all, we need a QB. Bad. Perhaps it's Mallet (sucks, that we don't get a better look at him), perhaps its Savage (sucks that we don't get any look at him) - but probably not. We won't be in the position to draft a top talent. So I'd be fine with taking a flyer at him. Cut Fitzpatrick and let the other 3 battle it out in camp. Make someone earn the spot.
Ugh. If we go for a FA QB in the off-season, I'd prefer we went for Sam Bradford over RGIII.

Seriously?
He is made of glass.
Based upon what? A healthy Griffin was clearly superior to a healthy Bradford. Griffin may never get back to where he was. Bradford was never much of anything to begin with.Bradford is the better QB, IMO

Ok, you knew it was bound to come up here. So I thought I'd give it a shot.
Smith seems - OK, is - draft-challenged. So if they have to give up a pick or two (although not a 1 or 2), why not?

But isn't the immortal Thaddeus Lewis much more of a scrambling QB than the stand-in-the-pocket type?
If so, that means OB isn't wedded to any one style of play at the position, right?
(And if he is wedded to one style of play, that strikes me as pretty self-defeating.)

You are basing that assessment on his rookie season in the NFL or his college career. His success as a rookie was built (like his college success) almost entirely on the zone read running threat. In two seasons since that injury, he seems physically, mentally, emotionally fragile and has alienated both head coaches, lost 80% of his games started, and demonstrated poor decision-making and passing inaccuracy.
I'd imagine any quarterback with potential will be linked to the Texans. We should pursue all options this off-season, including Sam Bradford if the Rams part ways with him. Robert Griffin III is a no-brainer for the Texans to at least seriously consider if he becomes available.
I'd take a pass on both of them. I'll take Mallett and Savage over those two.I think we have a real shot at both RG111 and Eli Manning nest year. So the real question is which of those two for the right price would you want?

Eli is Fitz with a touch of Manning pixie dust. A step backward with :Lombardi: visions. Eli is the luckiest QB I've ever seen.Do not want RGIII. Period.
Eli? Eh? I've never particularly liked Eli. He's too streaky. He can look so bad and ill-prepared at times. If OB thought he could work with him, fine; but I wouldn't look at him as solving our QB problem. He would just be the next evolution of it.

Maybe Seattle will trade Russell Wilson. All we need is a game manager and thats all he is and they can find a new one in any old round.
